Messi has just won a trophy and it's still November.

There's still Spanish cup, copa America, la liga, copa del Rey and champions league.

Just imagine if he wins all of them

Until ronaldo wins "a player of the tournament" in a competition he won't be considered as a football legend.

Messi just won an international trophy yesterday while having FIFA world best player, 2x copa America best player, Olympic best player.

Dude, are you really proud of yourself for saying or posting this sort of thing on the Internet
20-40 years down the line, will you be bold enough to show your grandchildren this bare-faced lie?

How dare you say that a trophy won after an upgraded friendly match involving only two teams is more "prestigious" than a UEFA and FIFA sanctioned Nations league involving the toughest teams in Europe. This way too brazen for my liking.

This is how you people twist the truth simply because you are fans of a particular footballer.

he won an international trophy that's all that matters

Astark:
why should I? The cup was founded 1914 unlike ronaldo nation's cup which was formed in 2018.

It's recognise by every governing football bodies.

they are pained because they have nothing on messi now.

in 2020 messi will make it 3 cups for his country

Davida33:
Messi is a failure for country but successful for Barcelona.

a failure?

2 international trophies like ronaldo in senior side
Under 20 world cup trophy
Olympic trophy


FIFA best player
2x copa America best player
Olympic best player
Under 20 best player

Imagine trying to say international trophy that has existed for more than a century isn't international trophy because messi won it but ronaldo nations cup that's barely 20 years old is an international trophy? Clowns

messi with Argentina will still win copa America this year to make it 2 trophies.

So ronaldo fans have nothing against messi now? Must be painful to them

Its obvious that its still a mystery to you that Igbo's still maintained their position in Nigerian population even after the war..

How dft one can be.. You think that casualties were one sided ?
Or only Igbos died during the war ?

You should focus more on the reason why you people are dying like chicken in this 21 century even when no war is going on hence your decline in population..

You were even closer to Igbos in population in 1930's which is the ist picture I attached, now the gap Igbo's have given you is getting wider despite the fact that your people are practicing polygamy due to Islam.....


Sit down and have a sober reflection.
Is it a supreme punishment or out of carelessness of your your people?

is that why igbos are now slaves in Nigeria begging for position and Biafra?

Yoruba own una

Yoruba's are the largest follow by Hausa then Fulani before Igbos.


Fact

FulaniJihadists:



I jaw don't travel outside the country much,
Only people outside Nigeria are interested in watch/listening movie/song on Youtube,
You can't compare the entire Edo to Ijaw let alone Benin.

this ijaw population figure is fake, they join all the ethnic groups similar to ijaw as one even if they have diverse origin and different language.

That explains why their online presence are low and why their language in Nigeria is almost known existence, the real ijaw won't be more than a million.

So you claim because before that travel out only view YouTube?

An ethnic groups you claim have more population than Benin's but every data prove contrary.

I blame Benin's from moving outside Nigeria that's why esans and urhobo are now been compared to them.

Do you know that some communities in Italy, their communication language is Benin

I dare anyone to bring any ijaw, urhobo and other ethnic groups you people claim have more population than Benin's and show us their movies or songs.

All these ethnic groups without real social media plaform, if you go to YouTube, Facebook , instagram. You'll see hausa-fulani,igbos and Yoruba's movies, music's,wedding pages and other social forum stuffs.

The only ethnic group to have something similar is Benin, their Instagram wedding page is top 3 after Yoruba's, Hausa and Igbo's and Ibibio comes 4th.

They have their own movie production and you can even view i on YouTube, I tried to check if ijaw, urhobo etc have something similar but I was stunned, I tought ijaw has 15 million population so they can't act movies in ijaw language?

Even in diaspora forum, after the 3 major tribes Benin comes next in hosting occasions

Iamgrey5:
Oyo state govenor is christian, Ogun state governor is christian, Ekiti state governor is christian, Ondo state governor is christian and Lagos state governor is christian, only Osun i believe has a Muslim governor.

The Oni of ife and head of Afenifere are Christians.

Please say something else.

ignore that boy, he's a delusional ipob. He think by speading Nigeria is a Muslim country propaganda he can have Biafra

Only Benin population in Europe is more than the population of esans outside Edo state (both within and outside Nigeria).

You claim urhobo and other ethnic groups are in Benin region but totally ignored the Benin population in Delta, ondo and Lagos state.

Biase, e be like Benin woman break your heart

scholes0:


Binis are a dicey case, cause BENIN city is now so diluted, so many Esans, Etsakors, Igbos, Yorubas, Isokos etc now in Benin. I can't even honestly remotely remember what the second largest bini town(or village) probably Abudu near Ika or Utesse near Ondo state? ? The Benins are essentially a city state people. So much aspect of Edo history was focused on Benin city that it looks like the people forgot to produce other towns.

Urhobos, Ijaws and Ibibios are all more populated than Benins.

I don't understand the point you are trying to make, Benin city is eating up different towns making it into one big city in south Edo state just like how Lagos is a mega city state.

So Benin's shouldn't allow other ethnic groups into their region? That's tribalism

I doubt urhobo are urhobo and Ibibio are more than the Benin's.

Yujin:

Most of what you wrote is correct but as for saying 'realistically' Igbos will be the third largest is a big fallacy. The threat of the huge Igbo population was one big factor for the hate in the north in colonial times and even during the war. Igboland had by far the highest population density in sub-saharan Africa

igbos have big population before but not now, remember millions were used for suya so they are relegated to 3rd, if they dare try such nonsense again, there won't be tribe call Igbo's in this world

Mtchew useless team

Nowenuse:


Please, do not use the population of a state to judge that of it's indigenes. It's wrong.

The reason is because, some people from certain states and tribes emigrate more than the others.

For example, if you take a census now in Benue state, you will discover that Tivs are like 80% of the resident population. However, if all the Idomas should return back home from Jos, Kaduna, Abuja, Lagos, PH e.t.c. I bet you, Benue would be like only 65% Tiv.
Idomas emigrate a lot far far more than Tivs who tend to be comfortable locally.


A large chunk of Kogi people do not live in Kogi state.
The number of Ebira & Igala people who live in Jos, Kaduna, Kano & Abuja is shocking.
After Igbos, Ebiras are the largest non indigenous group in Yoruba land to the extent that many of them have mixed with Yoruba indigenes in some southwestern states.
Many Yorubas do not know who Igalas are, but almost every Yoruba man down to the most rural areas are familiar with Ebiras because Ebiras are almost everywhere in Yoruba land farming.

Only the Ebiras in Yorubaland & Edo state are more than 1 million and this is something many people do not know.

Egburas (also known as Ebira Koto, Ebira Opanda) are the 2nd largest tribe in FCT, dominating Abaji LGA and also in Toto LGA of Nasarawa state.
Okene is the most populated LGA and town in Kogi state based on the last census. And apart from the Ebiras of Kogi central, you also have Ebira koto who are the dominant group in Lokoja & Kogi LGAs.

Here is another example.
Plateau state was twice the number of Nasarawa state in census. I always thought we were more than Nasarawa people in population, not until I saw the numbers of registered WAEC candidates based on state of origin and Nasarawa state was almost equalling Plateau state and in one particular year, they were even more than us. I was shocked. We go to school equally, so it can never be a question of Nasarawa people are more educated than us. That was when I remembered that so many people in Jos were Nasarawa indigenes even though we have blended together. Jos has been their capital for more than 30 years and many of them settled in Jos.
Many of them have also moved to Abuja to settle.
So, pls, never use the population of people's homelands to judge, it is wrong.


Lastly, there was a census, I think the one of 1923 or 1953 or thereabout (the last ethnic census we had by the British) and I saw it there that Esans were more than Benins in that census.
Many people overblow the Bini population because so many Esans have settled in Benin and adopted Bini, speaking it fluently. Esans emigrate far more than Binis and almost more than any other tribe of the SS. They may have only 5 LGAs, but believe me, they have population close to that of the Benins.

The same thing with the Afemais of Edo north (if you count them as one tribe). Infact, Afemais should even be more than the Benins if counted as one, but they are very divided.
Akoko-edo LGA is arguably the most populated LGA in the south-south that is not a city or part of a city. There are more than 40 towns in that LGA.

Binis cannot be up to 50% of Edo state, Lai lai.
Even 40% is difficult (very narrow).

Same thing with Igalas, they are not up to half of Kogi state. Ebiras & Okuns are all over Ilorin like no man's business. It was their state capital for almost 30 years.

I wanted to insult you but I'm afraid mods will ban me. First of all you said ebira people in Yoruba land and Edo state will be close to 1 million? I'm sure you mean 98% of that 1 million will be from Yorubaland because ebira in Edo state won't be more than 50,000 if I'm been generous.

Second of alall you are trying to downplay Benin population saying esans and afemai are larger, let me educate you about Edo state.

Benin's are likely to be 60% of the state controlling over 50% of the state total landmass in general even in esanland(igueben) most esans regard them as Benin's because they are no difference.

You also try to say esans travel more than Benin's which is also false infact esans hardly travel, after igbos and Yoruba's Benin is the next ethnic group with highest immigration rate.

So it's an insult to Benin's to try comparing their population to esans and Edo north (even if you add all of them together).

scholes0:
Unless a truly sincere census compete with ethnic information is carried out in Nigeria, we will never truly now the positions of Nigerian ethnic groups with regards to population, but the truth is that the Hausas are scared to death about the prospects of a census with ethnic information, because so many tables will be broken to pieces.

Kebbi isn't a pure Hausa state
Kaduna will be a shocker
Jigawa has a large Kanuri minority of Mannga extraction.
Meaning only 4 of 7 (Katsina, Sokoto, Kano and Zamfara) are over 95% Hausa and Fulbe
Now, in the case of an ethnic census of these states some Fulanis will NOT self identify as Hausa and herein lies a huge problem. All those Lamidos and Dikkos, Bellos, Tukurs, Yeros, Sambos, Danfulanis, Baffahs/Bappas, Bappayo/Babbayos, Yugudas, Barkindos, Gidados, Jungudos Etc etc will all instantly become Fulani.

In the North East Zone.
Gombe is a majority minority state plus a plurality of Fulbe with hausas hiding under them.
Adamawa is also a largely state of Minorities with a prominent Fulani ruling class plurality with Hausas hiding under that. (similar to Gombe)
Taraba is also similar to the two above but with a smaller and less prominent Fulani component
Bauchi isn't a homogeneous state either with Hausas, Fulbe, Kanuri Bole, Jarawa, Warja etc being there.
Yobe and Borno are largely Kanuri with a host of minorities in Southern and Eastern Borno (Bura Pabir(Babur), Shuwa, Marghi, Buduma/Yedina, Chiboku, Mandara numerous others), and western Yobe being mostly Kare-kare, Bade and Ngizm. (Pottiskum and co)

So realistically speaking Yorubas or Hausas or even Igbos could theoretically be the largest ethnic group in nigeria.
BUT realistically Igbos are most likely 3rd with the Yorubas (1st or 2nd) and Hausas being (1st or 2nd), and Fulbes being 4 and Tiv or Kanuri being 5th/6th although I am betting on Tiv because of the ethnic breakdown of Borno and Yobe which i already highlghted above but which many people aren't aware of)

The CIA re dead wrong, sorry. Urhobos are even more than Igalas lol and they are not on the list. Also I am pretty sure their 'Ibibio' means Ibibio + Efik + Annaŋ + Ekid (Eket) +Oro (Oron) + maybe even the Andonis/Ibeno.

I was just laughing a few years ago when Ijaws were parading themselves as the 4th ethnic group in Nigeria. Una doh!

what about the Benin's? Or are you saying there are more urhobo, ijaw, Ibibio than the Benin's?

Wow there are so many countries that hate Nigeria, south Africans, Kenyans, Ghanaians, Uganda and co and over 90% of Nigerians don't care about these countries, even Ghana that our worst student will bag first class student in their country.

Now we have Kenya, what's our business with a one city country? I've not seem or heard of a single Kenya in Nigeria but I know Nigerians are buying their banks and multi companies, very soon we'll start contesting election there.

Nigeria is Africa power just like many countries hate America, China that's how they hate us

garfield1:

Am just over exaggerating to show that the igbos cant be more than the others.its a best case scenario.igbos usually claim that half of igbos are outside igboland.but realistically they cant be more than 5 million igbos in the west and 5 mil in the north

most of them have mental problem, igbos outside south east and south south are less than 5 million.

This is a very useless post,you counted hausanised ethnic groups as part of Hausa and still counted them again into separate ethnic groups. To be fair the most populated ethnic groups in Nigeria is Yoruba.

They are majority in 6 south west States, Delta,kogi,kwara even Niger state, then Hausa before Igbo's.

The 4th largest ethnic groups will be between ijaw, Fulani, Ibibio,Benin's, igala,kanuri
