The Ijaw Tribe is the largest tribe in the Niger Delta Region and the 3rd or 4th largest tribe in Nigeria with over 2,800 villages and settlements. The Ijaws were unjustly balkanized into more than 6 states of Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa Ibom States among others when all Ijaw areas are fully together and share perfect boundaries with each other just to weaken Ijaw unity and break Ijaw more.



Ijaw produce over 90 percent of Nigerias Crude Oil, both onshore and offshore.


Ijaw don't sell bone. If you marry an Arogbo in Ondo State woman, you must bring back the body to be buried with her fathers people even when you pay the bride price well. Same thing applies in the Kalabari Clan of Ijaw in Rivers State. Same thing applies to Bayelsa Ijaws. Seyi Makinde of Oyo, Douye Diri of Bayelsa, Godwin Obaseki of Edo among others that have Ijaws as First Ladies. The women will be buried with her fathers people no matter how much you pay for her head.



Generally Ijaw value women children than men. Men can die somewhere and you bury him there but you must bring woman back. If you cant bring her, you must conjur her spirit to the grave you will do in her town for her and make sacrifices saying this is your real grave.



Nembe Clan own worse. The children are owned by the woman and not the man. Some clans have little adjustments but Ijaw generally greatly value women. The tribe Supreme Deities are women. My granfather died, my mum was given more of his properties and houses than her two elder brothers. No tribe in Nigeria value women as much as the Ijaws.

Ijaw is minority, the third smallest in NigerDelta..

Ijaw is larger than Igbo.

Ebi2233:

Ijaw is larger than Igbo.

If Ijaw is larger than Igbo then there ought to be up to 7 Ijaw governors.

In spite of all the marginalisation that Igbos suffer, Igbos are guaranteed 5 governors in every dispensation. On occasions, we get up to 7 governors.

Ijaws are majority in a state that is possibly the least populated state in Nigeria i.e Bayelsa

Ijawland is geographically nearer to Lagos, yet Igbo votes in Lagos far outweigh Ijaw votes in Lagos by a factor of 20 to 1.

Igbo-speaking people of the SS alone outnumber the Ijaws. Know this and know peace.

Ebi2233:

Ijaw is larger than Igbo.

You are not ijaw,no ijaw will ever insult igbos as they are our brothers.
Ijaws are the 4 the largest tribe after yorubas which are third.
And igbos are the largest tribe in Nigeria.

I'm from ijaw,don't mind him.he is a Yoruba man.if he is ijaw let him upload his videos and that of his community.

Ijaws and igbos are brothers expecially eastern and central ijaws.
Some ijaws are even related to Igbos by blood so why will ijaw na be attacking igbos.
He is not ijaw

I don't insult people.
Ijaws are the fourth largerst after yorubas which are third.
Ijaws are not only in bayelsa but we are in akwaibom,ondo,delta,Edo,rivers,bayelsa and Lagos but yorubas are trying to erase their history.

In some parts of ijaw...if the man marry's the woman fully. Then she can be buried where ever he wants her to be buried and he owns everything about her including her child with another man. E.g Okrika people.

Ijaw are more populated than Yoruba. Hahahahahahahahhahaha.

Seems like you're out of touch with reality. Inside mangrove forest that you live. Take a laptop or phone and open a map application and see for yourself the terrain that Ijaws call homeland.

Zoom on it and see the scant number of towns/villages you have and their sizes. Check out your terrain very well and sincerely ask yourself if humans subjected to such terrain can be expected to surpass those in proper habitable terrain in population.

You can only deceive yourself in this age of technology.
Name and list the Ijaw cities and towns with considerable population density

When you sit down in INC/IYC meeting, you start creating revisionism and propaganda as a means to an end.

I said ijaws are fourth largerst after yorubas that are third.
I didn't say we are more populated.

Ijaws also are the richest and one of the bravest tribes in Nigeria.
