garfield1: You classification of these groups is Wrong. Efik/Anang/Ibibio are from the same stocks and should form a single group. I'm not interested in their dirty local politics, but you apply classification for all groups not only the major groups. Undoubtedly, The Efik/Ibibio bloc are the largest in the South South and they should be the fourth largest in Nigeria. The Ijoid don't not come close to second. 1 Like |

Bini,esan,etsako,efik,Ibibio are all distinct ethnicities son.better still behave sensibly and open your own thread where enough childishness can be fully displayed |

garfield1: No division. If you split groups according to their perceived identities, then you shouldn't add all anioma groups as Igbos, and all Ijaw groups as Ijaws. Most of these people see themselves as their own unique identity. For better debate. You classify the Efik/Ibibio-anang as one. And nothing wrong classifying the Urhobo/Isoko as one. They are from the same stock and should be classified as one. If you split these groups, you'd have up-to 100's of tribe which will make your debate cumbersome. For a start, aside the ibibios, there is no group that outnumbers the Urhobos. If we are to go by the identity in which these groups identify themselves with. Rephrase your OP and get it done then right way. Ibibio-anang-Efik. Edoid, Ijoid. Etc 3 Likes |

garfield1:Andoni, Abolga, Onelga and PHlga has non single Ijaw or Ijoid community. Name just one single Ijaw community in any of these LGAs let's check them out either on Youtube or books online. Degema, Okrika, Opobo, Bonny, Ogu/Bolo are shared between Ijaw and others mostly Igbo except in Degema where you find the Edoid people of Udekama and Usokun. Ahoada West is shared between Igboid(Ekpeye), Edoid(Engenni) and Ijoid(Ogbogolo). Only Asari Toru and Akuku Toru (these are the main Kalabari LGAs) are nearly entirely Ijoid and even there, there is one or two mixed communities with indigenous Igbos. Ijaw/Ijoid population in Rivers state isn't that much. At most, I'll give them 700,000 at most. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Efewestern: No sir,I'll do it as it has been officially gazetted please which is efik,annang,Ibibio,urhobo,isoko,bini,isan.ethnologists/ethnographers that classified them as distinct ethnicities know why and have more info than you and me.let us leave it at that.better still,I can allow you classify as you like in edo delta axis but since akwa cross is my region,let me take the lead... I tagged you to come and identify other areas of urhobo population not to argue about ethnic classification please.i know outsiders see the entire akwa ibom as one tribe called Calabar people but this is very False.cross river state alone has over 70 ethnicities.please be guided. |

garfield1:There are indigenous Igbos in all the 6 SS states. 1. Akwa Ibom.... we have the Ndoki group there. 2. Bayelsa..... we have the Ukwuani and Ekpeye groups there. 3. Cross River.... we have the Isobo and Ikwo groups there. 4. Delta.... we have the Ika, Ukwuani, [Aniocha and Oshimili] Enuani groups there. 5. Edo.... we have the Ika group there. 6. Rivers.... we have the Ndoni, Egbema, Ogba, Ekpeye, Ikwerre, Etche, Asa, Ndoki etc. Indigenous Igbos in the South South are huge. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Ten Largest Ethnicities In South South by Efewestern: 3:51pm On Apr 11 |
garfield1: If we are to go be the official gazetted groups, then you are a bit correct with your op. But I will argue that the ibibios are more than the Ijaws. Again, I want you to understand my point of argument. There's a reason people are classified into groups. It isn't to make anyone superior or inferior. I know for a fact that the Akwa Cross region is complex, but these people are from the same stock and speak a language and have a culture that is nearly similar. It is not out of place to group these people as one, same way it's not out of place to group the Urhobos and Isoko as one. When you do that, you are not necessarily exacting the dominance of one over the other, but making it clear to bond that exist between these groups. There's far more what bond the Urhobo/Isoko and Efik/Ibibio/Anang that what actually separates them. 2 Likes |
Re: Ten Largest Ethnicities In South South by garfield1: 3:51pm On Apr 11 |
Yujin: The indigenous Igbos in CRS are called isobo in obubra lga and occupy just 5 Hamlets.i already counted the delta igbos.yes,I know the igbos in Edo(igbanke),very insignificant.i already counted igbos in rivers.i have excluded ikwerre please as they see themselves as a separate entity and government recognizes that.let us not argue that one or you go and open your thread. Which part of bayelsa and akwa ibom do we have igbos and even if they are there,it is insignificant IGBOS in ss are about 2.3 million as I calculated |

Re: Ten Largest Ethnicities In South South by Yujin(m): 3:52pm On Apr 11 |
garfield1:Ijaws are certainly not the number one in SS. Even Bayelsa which was carved out for them, they still share it with other tribes. For example, the Ogbia people are not Ijaws. Just google about the Ogbia language and see for yourself. Google also about the Epie-Atissa people of Yenagoa. From my calculation, only the Ibibo-Efik-Annang combination can rival the Igbo population of the SS. If you remove Annang, Igbo is clearly the largest. The Edoid on paper should be the largest but it's impossible to unite the Edoid together as a unit. The language intelligibility is not there and can't be bridged. 4 Likes |
Re: Ten Largest Ethnicities In South South by garfield1: 3:53pm On Apr 11 |
