Please, note that of the above mentioned 15 nations, the total population of 11 of them, including Efiki/Ibibio, Gbagyi, Kanuri, Edo/Urhobo, Tiv, Nupe, Idoma, Ebira/Igala, Barriba/Busawwa, Birom/Angas and Adamawa, is equivalent to the total population of the Yoruba nation. They are insignificant compared to the Yoruba, but under the unitary system, they compete and even dictate to the Yoruba nation.

The entire population of the Ibo and Ijaw nations comes to 54 million, which is below the total population of the Yoruba nation at 60 million. However, these two nations see the Yoruba nation as a pushover that must be dictated to in the scheme of things in Nigeria.

The actual population of the Hausa/Fulani in addition to other minority ethnic groups added as part of this nation is 49.4 million, which is below the total population of the Yoruba nation at 60 million.

In addition to the Yoruba being the majority Nation in Nigeria!

Yoruba Na 100 million no be only 60 million..

Na muscle dem take even reach 20million in reality

All Yoruba states are ghosted from state capital..
Lagos population is shared between Yoruba and other Nigerian tribes

Of which other tribes are majority in Lagos to yoruba people

Then one should ask where dem see the 20 million. If not for their mago mago over the years with Hausa Fulani in power ..that they’ve altered so many truth

Reason they believe in government statistics..and not reality

Who did the counting?

You mean to tell me that, they have counted all the numbers in north and nigeria at large, stemming from the massive inflow of Fulani people from different African countries?

If they count all the foolanis wandering into nigeria from the northern porous borders, which I doubt anyone can, the numbers will be more than the Yoruba population.

I'm not mincing words...nd infact, the number of these fulani people can't b fixed... Cos they keep trickling into nigeria, which has recently turned into the "land of milk and honey" for them...thnx to d present administration.

In essence... don't kid urself. We cannot tell d actual number of people in Nigeria presently. Even a proper census can't b conducted in this country...cos many fulanis are in people's forests. Plus there's no credible database in UAR.

Let talk reality here ,ijaw population in bayelsa state with 8 local government is not up 2m people, plus 2 and half underpopulated local government in Delta, plus those that they claim as ijaw politically in River State and few communities in ondo state.if you add all of them up it should not be more than 4m.

Hmm

I don't know where you got that analysis from.

On the Kogi part;
The Igalas have more population than the Ebira, there are other unique tribes in that state.

And if you start going by Nations, it won't work except by Kingdoms.

You could have attracted a huge audience but the bolded. It will be fair if Yoruba is up to 35 million.
