Amarabae:
Ijaws are not up to 7million,
You guys are not up to 1 million in Delta,
Around 2.5million in Bayelsa and 2million in Rivers,
There are no Ijaws in Ondo, Ondo is South West Yoruba land, Ijaw begins and ends in South South
Fly fly dearie

Google is your friend

Jerryherd:
Ijaw isn't a tribe or an ethnic group, it's a loose word used for coastal people around Nigerian coast

Why you no get sense

Captain8:
sorry for the delayed... its patani

Okay, Patami is 92,800

Let's deduct Bomadi - 118, 500 from 6,865,500

Giving us = 6,747,000 plus 92,800

Total = 6,839,800

Total Bayelsa , Rivers and Delta ijaws are 6,839,800 as at 2016.

Captain8:
what kind of dumb question is this?

you lack understanding....

how on earth will Ijaw have one king? how?

you must come from a minority tribe so you wont understand...

every big tribes have clans and dialects....
Ijaw also have many dialects and clans....

yoruba igbo is also made up of clans with multiple kings.... igbo picked centre dialect from anambra environ to get understanding...

yoruba picked a dialect from lagos environ.....

Ijaw also picked a dialect from bayelsa environ.....

Urhobo also have dialects differences....

Fulani have dialect differences....

so which bush you just come from?

igbo dialects called obi...eze...igwe...etc

Izon also called pere...amayanabo etc...

onitsha igbo dialect never understand by other ibos...
ebonyi dialect never understand by rest igbos...

Oni of Ife and Alafin of Oyo are paramount rulers with numerous king's

Yoruba is a language , Ijebu , Okun , Ekiti, Egba are all dialect of Yoruba... Dialect meaning variation of a language

Sultan and Emir of Kano and Sokoto are paramount rulers... Fulfude and Hausa are the languages.... With Nupe, Gwari and others having dinstict Hausa dialect

Question remains who is the paramount ruler of Ijaw Nation, what is the language and what are the dialects



.

Omoluabi1stborn:

Warri North - 187,500 Burutu. - 286,400 Warri south - 429,600 Warri South West - 160,500 Bomadi - 118,500
Total = 1,182,500
NB I DIDN'T deduct Itshekiri and other non ijaws in that place.




5,683,000 + 1,182,500
= 6,865,500 Rivers + delta + bayelsa population = 6,865,500

there is God o....let be truthful....

iamuyiekpen:
Ijaws are strangers in Edo and have never been considered as natives and will never be considered as one. This whole Ijaw population is a lie from the pit of hell.

bad Bella is allowed

stop asking dumb question read my post till end.....
well who is the paramount ruler of igbo?

Ariani:
See the ethnic census of NIGERIA in 1952. Ijaw was not in the top 5.
Ijaw is like 8th ranked.

1.Hausa
2.Ibo
3.Yoruba
4. Fulani
5.Kanuri
6. Tiv
7.Ibibio
8. IJaw (still debatable, as there are bigger groups like Nupe, etc)

Serioiously figure of almost 60 years

I'm truthful bro, we didn't even deduct non ijaws.

And I upload screenshot to back up my claim

have you add the Ijaws in ondo edo akwa ibom abia lagos?
what will you gain in doing partial?

Arguing about the population of another ethnic group, when you have never been to such place is foolishness
Another population census will put this argument to rest, but since the Government is avoiding the census

Captain8:

No I haven't.
Let me know the Local government they occupied. (Majority)
In each of the states u mentioned

Omoluabi1stborn:
CONCLUSION AND VERDICT
As at 2016 I jaw population in
Rivers + delta + bayelsa population = 6,865,500

bro you really get time for this Fulani tribe of southern Nigeria

Nigerian statistics is obviously questionable but I don't think there is any challenge to the Ijaws on the position as the third largest Ethnicity in Southern Nigeria.

Many people cite not seeing much of Ijaw presence in other cities as a means of arguing that Ijaws are less populated, this assertion however is a complete fallacy as Ijaw is undeniably populous.

I will be backing up my claims with facts and common sense. You will not see Ijaws in major cities becuase of the traditional occupation of the Ijaws which is fishing and in places where we abound it is usually a cluster.

Ijaws are more likely to to be found in coastal areas and as such the Niger Delta interior had always been our native land.

Fact One: Bayelsa state is a predominately Ijaw State is over 2.5 Million while 2006 census puts it at 1.7 million I hope you know that despite the inaccuracy of Nigerian census we also grow.

2. Ijaws constitute the coastal areas of Rivers state which constitutes about 39% of Rivers putting Rivers state at approximately 6 million today that puts Ijaws in Rivers at over 2 million.

3. The Ijaws in Delta State: the population of Delta state shall be running at about another 6 million, let's say the Ijaws Chuns out another 2 million people over there.

This 3 states alone could arguably put Ijaws at about 6.5 million in just 3 states, tell me another tribe in Nigeria apart from Igbo, Hausa, Fulani and Yoruba coming anywhere close to the above verifiable data.

Then add the Ijaws in Edo State, with Ondo, with Lagos, there is no verifiable data in these Areas as these states especially Lagos and Ondo are trying too hard to Yorubanize the Ijaws in these areas.

Should a realistic census be conducted in Nigeria indicating tribes the Ijaws could be well over 17 million.

Why do you think the Ijaws inflate our population, when last did we hold crucial role in the census bureau, Goodluck Jonathan was not the president at 2006 when the last census was held rather it was the Ijaw hating Obasanjo so how could we have manipulated our data, be that as it may, there is also no proof of everyone else's actual population so Ijaws knows exactly how our population is distributed.

In Delta state, Aniomas and Urhobos far outnumber the Ijaws. Itsekiris and Isobos are not really outnumbered by Delta Ijaws.

So there is no way in hell that Ijaws are up to 400,000 in Delta state.

I think in total Ijaws may be around 3.5 million

velocity25:
bro you really get time for this Fulani tribe of southern Nigeria

Ah no, I didn't come and cause trouble
We just wanna know the population of dem

I saw 15M i was shocked.
That's almost half of Yoruba or igbo people

you dont even understand what you saying.... please go find out dialect differences...
igbo are a whole does not even had a king until 1920s.....
and you are here asking for Ijaw centre king..... must every tribe be like hausa to have own centre leader?

Izon and Igbo is not part of that having supreme leader crew.....

Ijaws are over 3 million in Bayelsa, Over 2 million In Delta, over 2 million in Rivers, over 1 million in Ondo, over 1 million in Edo, over 1 million in Lagos, and more

you are not kid but baby in history, I think google can help you

Ebitimi44:

How does 1952 reflect Reality on ground, in 1952 the Eastern region a predominantly Ibo Region and mind you that was the rise of the Igbos when most ethnic Nationalities of the East are mistaken as Igbos, I never doubt the close ties between Igbos and Ijaws but things like these are why Ijaws wants a distinct nationality of Niger Delta because should it be before most of the Izon territories could be erroneously be termed Ibo

No ethnic nationality was mistaken as Igbos.
The British were not your coconut head leaders, they were meticulous people.

Ebitimi44:

A single lie is all you need to ruin your every truth, Bayelsa alone is technically 3.5 million, so what are you saying, you can't be partially truthful,

Bayelsa Ijaws should be about 2 million not counting the Urhobos of Bayelsa.

The remaining Ijaws will be around 1.5 to 2 million

Bros all these are fallacy the population of ijaws in Nigeria is no more than 3million.
I have been to Bayelsa and worked in all books and cranies of Bayelsa. Bros all those swamps are empty.
All the water ways are empty.
Even the population put at 1.2 million in the last census is over exaggeration.
Tell me where in Bayelsa of the eight local govt where U have large concentration of people .
No where.
In the last Gorvernorship election total Registered voters were put at 500,000. I am not saying this is a yardsty. Even at that, the registered voters are vague. These are political registration. The total vote cast was not upto 120,000.
Now come to rivers state we have how many local govt that are ijaws. Okrika, kalabari constitute only 4 or 5 lga. Mind U Opobo nkoro,Borny, Andoni lumped up together are not ijaws.
Now in Delta they have only two LGA now what is the population of 8 Lga in Bayelsa core ijaw gives U Less than 2 million according to census data that was over inflated.
Total ijaw is no more than 2.2 million at best in Nigeria.
Now come to rivers state who are the ijaws

Captain8:
how many LGAs do the aniomas and urhobos have in delta? and how many Ijaws have?

Aniomas have 9 LGAS. Urhobos have 8 LGAS.

Itsekiris, Isokos, Urhobos and Ijaws share the remaining 8 LGAS.

tutudesz:

Serioiously figure of almost 60 years

Yes. The past gives birth to the present.
Unless you have evidence to prove that while other groups were castrated and Ijaws started giving birth to six babies at once.
