I don't know about the population sizes of Ibibio and Ijaw, and honestly wouldn't want to get into that needless debate. However, one thing you need to know about Ijaw people is that they rarely travel.

Unlike Igbos or Ibibios who move around to explore their environment and get greener pastures, Ijaws rarely travel. Ijaws would rather live in their domain and remain poor than travel and make it elsewhere. It's not an attack; it's a fact! So, you are likely to meet and interact with people who travel than those who don't.

Ijaws travel a lot but you can't recognize Ijaw if he doesn't tell you he is Ijaw.


You may even eat in same plate without knowing his tribe.

He so much blend in everything English that you won't have something to easily notice on him to tell his tribe.

But on the side of home loving, Ijaws are the best.
They always come around home..

Just ignore him, let him keep masturbating. Ijaw is not up to 3 million people in the whole country. Imagine the idiot saying they are the third largest group in Nigeria. Don't waste your energy on the hegoat.

clap for yourself and dance na. Igbos have never been in competition with anybody.

Serious people know the population. Keep masturbating. There's freedom of speech. You can even say that Americans are not up to Ijaw.

Nobody will waste time to argue with you. It's like arguing with a mad person in the market
