Okay, let's assume Ijaws in Bayelsa is up to 5M.
The Ijaws in Ondo and Edo can't be more than 500k combined

Let's assume ijaws in Rivers and Delta is 1M each that's 2M combined.

Add everything together is 7.5M

richmond500:
let's assume that each of these language has only 500 speakers, that is 7m people, Akuku Toru LGA alone should be more than 1m persons

r4bbit:
i have don some research too seems... D value on that wiki is wrong no offence to the ijaws

Omoluabi1stborn:


Reality is different from Wiki.
Anyone can Edit wiki
Ahh, haba how can Ijaws be 15M where Una wan steal am

richmond500:
that's not how u make assertions, lemme give u screenshot of just one town and one LGA in ijaw rivers state.
Now if a town alone in Rivers is up to 50k, how come u feel the entire ijaw in Rivers is not up to 1.5-2m?

richmond500:
As at 2006, Akuku Toru LGA has 150k population, more than a decade later, its easy to have 200k, now let's say all other LGA's have 150k

Omoluabi1stborn:


Okay, let's do it this way.
List all the ijaw dominated LGAs in Rivers state.
At least we can assume.some populations via wiki

richmond500:
, Opobo, Bonny, Port Harcourt (South), Asari-Toru, Degema, Akuku-Toru and Abua-Odual, Okirika, Andoni, Ogu-Bolo

That's all I could remember, but don't forget that we also have ijaw in Delta and some in the west, then we have Bayelsa then assume all the ijaws in diaspora are just 300-500k since u guys assume there aren't ijaws in Diaspora then that figure should be reasonable considering how large the globe is

richmond500:

Opobo, - 214,700
Bonny, - 302,000
Port Harcourt (South)
, Asari-Toru - 308, 600
, Degema, - 350,000
Akuku-Toru - 308,800
Abua-Odual - 396,800
, Okirika, - 312, 300
Andoni, - 306,200
Ogu-Bolo - 105, 800

Total = 2,605,200
Bayelsa population = 2,278,000

Total = 4,883,000

NB I didn't add I jaws in Port hacourt, cos it will be difficult to ascertain

Ekealterego:

When did OPobo and Bonny whose native tongue is Igbo started speaking Ijaw? Ijaw with their number inflation.

richmond500:
its very bias not to add portharcourt south population, everything should be around 3m and that is just hypothetical and not actual value, assuming Delta ijaw has the same population that should be 6m, population of Bayelsa was 2.2m in 2016, there is no doubt that such population would have increased by 15% in 2021, let's say all of them in SS is around 8m, now let's add those in entire SW to be just 700k, then those scattered across the country and globe is just another 1.3m, isn't this already 10m? And remember the figure is just hypothetical, so u still feel Ijaw isn't up to 5m? U think wikipedia is lying?

Omoluabi1stborn:


Ijaw can't be more than 10M bro.

Highest is 7M
I didn't add Port Harcourt because Its both Ijaws, non I jaws including other ethnic. Group

If we add port Harcourt population and we deduct non ijaws from those towns I listed, it will still be the same figure or even less.

Abi you're telling Me there are no non ijaws in those towns above.
Yet I didn't deduct it.

richmond500:
a town is up to 50k, now that very town is in Akuku toru LGA which have up to 10 different towns

richmond500:
the non ijaw in typical ijaw community are not even up to 5% of the entire population, its very insignificant

richmond500:
when did u see me call portharcourt? I said portharcourt south

richmond500:
both Opobo and Bonny are of ijaw tribe.

Ijaw speak Niger-congo linguistic, does that mean the ijaw is Niger?

British and America speak English, does that make them England?

Do francophone countries mean those countries are France?

richmond500:
7m highest?
OK let's assume ur figure is right, 2.6 in Bayelsa and 2.6 in delta, that means 5.2, 700k in the west that is already 6m, do u mean Bayelsa is 1m at most? And no single ijaw in Diaspora?

Omoluabi1stborn:




We only have port Harcourt LGA
Population of Port Harcourt is 1.8m
If I dash Ijaws 800,000

And I add it to 4,883,000
Total is 5,683,000


Kindly list the local government you majorly based I heard its 5 in delta state

Nah today today we go know Ijaw population.
E no go pass today

Weinberg:

Mention the towns in Akuku toru with over 50k population size

Omoluabi1stborn:


Calm down my brother.



We will know Ijaw population today.
E no go pass today .

richmond500:
population of portharcourt, the capital city is 1.8? Are u kidding me?

Ekealterego:


Oga, We know when America was established and we know the people inhabiting America. Their ancestors were mostly Anglo and Germanic Europeans for the whites... They all could still trace their ancestry.. The language did not just fall from the sky... How come the Opobo people left Ijaw language despite direct contact and started speaking Igbo... Ijaw, funny people. You have claimed Ibeno and Obolo people as Ijaw. You can see that it is only Ijaw people that have this character of claiming distinct people that do not speak their language or related in an way.

Weinberg:

Where in Opobo is Ijaw spoken?

Joromi1:
Maybe Ijaws include theirs statues, just as Fulanis include theirs cows (even dead ones), in their population.
