The ijaws are the water version of Fulanis. They are not even indigenous to the Niger delta region as their language is not unified nor related to languages in the area. This is an established fact by linguistic studies. They came to so many places that they occupy today as settlers who came to fish. Just like the ancestral home of the Fulanis is futa jalon, the ancestral home of the proto-ijaws is in coastal Ghana regions. Their minority status and low population is the reason why they have aggressive expansionists agenda and claim those who cannot understand them or related to them. The only reason they made progress of this abuse is that they took advantage of the post civil war situation in Nigeria were the Fulanis rewarded them with maps that falsely expanded their territories. So many groups that ijaws say are not Igbo or ibbibio or Annang. But when those groups speak their native language, no ijaw man or woman can understand what they are saying. Even some ijaws cannot understand each other groups language without pigeon English. Ijaw case is like butter when this cesspit ceases to exist. For now allow them to wallow in delusions on nairaland and inflate their population to 50 million. 28 Likes 1 Share |

Danjikanbauchi: A lot of groups that they claim their lands are just tolerating them for the sake of peace but their day of reckoning is coming. And just like the Fulanis will answer to their evils, so would the ijaws. It’s just a matter of time. 16 Likes |

I swear on God who made me, in all my years of staying abroad, I've only met one Ijaw person and that was far back in the USA during my Junior college year, one pretty girl like that. Apart from her, I've never seen any Ijaw person again... The Nigerians you are more than likely to meet and interact with anywhere in the diaspora are Igbos, Yorubas, Edo, and Efik/Ibibios in that particular order... the best way to ascertain if a tribe has a huge population is through the diasporan numbers of that ethnic demography... so when you put all these into consideration, you'll know there's absolutely no way Ijaw people are 15 million people, Efik/Ibibio definitely have more population than them abeg. 22 Likes |

That is a cumulative population value... Didnt you read what you post ? Why use only bayelsa as case study: Where your post clearly mentioned,ondo, edo, rivers state and even countries like west Sierra Leone and east Gabon.... To add to your post ijaw languages include; Izon, Kalabari, Obolo, Ibani, Wakirike, Nkoroo, Nembe, Ogbian, Kabou, Buseni, Atala, Bille, Kula, Apoi, etc. So there is no need to start another tribalistic thread. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

There is no single archaeological finding that points to ancient ijaw civilization in the Niger delta region. But you can find archeological findings of efik, Igbo, ibbibio, annang etc. Just like the Fulanis, they are settlers that turned into occupiers. 21 Likes |

Omoluabi1stborn:Bayelsa population is more than 2m, I schooled there. Ijaw has up to 20 languages, let's assume that each of these language has 500 speakers, that's about 10m people even though u know that Okrika, Kalabari and main Ijaw has more than 500 speakers each. Infact Akuku-Toru, Asari-Toru and Degema LGA alone has more than 500 persons each |

Omoluabi1stborn:well, let's assume highest in Bayelsa is 5m, now can u add Rivers Ijaw which makes a reasonable population of the Rivers people, Delta Ijaw which is very large too and the ijaw migrants scattered in other places, even if those living outside their ancestral land is just 1m, can't common sense tell u that Ijaws are more than 10m |
Re: How Come Ijaws Are 15million People? by richmond500: 5:32pm On Jul 27, 2021 |
Omoluabi1stborn:in Delta and Rivers, they make a reasonable number while u can still find them in Edo and Ondo. U should visit Rivers state and see Kalabari and Okrika |

richmond500:The total Ijaw population is not up to 4million.. Bayelsa is not homogeneous... Ijaws in Bayelsa = 1.8M Ijaws in Rivers = 1M Ijaws in Ondo = 200k Ijaws in Delta= 500k Ijaws in Edo and parts of other southern states =155k Total Ijaw population= 3.655M. 12 Likes 1 Share |
