riddler4real:haaay bros, bearing yoruba names does't mean anything, anybody can bear any name he likes, now let me educate u a bit, Akoko Edo some of dem bear yoruba names but there language is not yoruba at all, OWAN some of dem bear yoruba name but their language is not yoruba at all, now we ve IJAGBA in ondo state but they speak edo 'owan' precisely, now we ve d IGBANKE'S they clasify them as edo igbo but their language is not igbo at all just like akoko edo they clasify as edo yoruba. So there is no yoruba nor igbo language in edo. 6 Likes |

alezzy13:It was also on AIT that I heard them being mentioned as the fourth largest ethnic group. Although it was a news report on a press conference by a Tiv group condemning the targeted removals of prominent Tiv sons and daughters from government positions at the federal level. |

gebest: I am yoruba from Kogi state. My dialect is quite different from the core yoruba language. I bare both yoruba names and surname. Our languages are different but we share a common heritage (cultural values) that is noticeable in our names. In this part of the world there is so much attached to names that u can ever know. It's one of the few evidence that we share similar heritage. My language is very similar to itsekiri.... There is a township within the boundaries of Edo state just after Ore in Ondo state. I can't remember the name but their version of yoruba is quite similar to mine also. The township is before okada when coming from Ore road..... I have been there on one occasion. Whether you like it or not..... The yoruba heritage extends to some parts of the south south..... it's quite unfortunate we don't have monunental historical records other than the names we bare in our respective society. 26 Likes 4 Shares |

well for southern Nigeria, the igbos are the single largest ethnic group, followed by yoruba.. Ijaws are not in any way the 4th largest. it is between the tivs, kanuri or fulani. Have you ever wondered why the igbos are so numerous outside their home land constituting the largest Nigerian ethnic diaspora in any city/country in the world except maybe in london where there are as much yorubas if not more than the igbo. Go to any major city in Nigeria/Africa, the igbo populations in such cities are usually numerous, from lagos, to abuja, to kano, to ibadan to ilorin to makurdi, to warri, to benin to yenagoa to minna, to dutse to yola, to Accra to Lome, to Abidjan to Cotonou to Nairobi, to Johannesburg to Cairo they are just everywhere in Multitude numbers.. Now this is it, read this It has been stated that the Sudanese constitute the majority of the people of southern Nigeria, with a total population (1921 census) of about 7,000,000. More than half of these are Ibo and about one-third are Yoruba. Population figures(1921) for the principal Sudanese groups are given in Table1.3 14 Likes 5 Shares

now check out the fulani population in 1921 Like the Hausa, the nomad fulani are found in greatest strength in Kano(1,112,000) and sokoto(367,000), with some 250,000 in Bauchi. Their total population (1921) is about 2,000,000. Only one other groups from the northern province, the kanuri, is included in the survey. 2 Likes 4 Shares

KingEtuas: bro please is it the number of states where you find them or their number in those states.. i am aware that their largest state is bayelsa and some say bayelsa is not homogeneously ijaw.. In delta, the urhobo are the largest followed by Aniomas. In Edo, Ondo, their population in those states are very insignificant, am not sure of the number of local government they control.. educated me on it if you know. I dont believe that lagos crap..they are in lagos but as migrant fishermen who live on water and have inhabited those places for long. if at all we want to assume they are indigenous to lagos, i doubt the control a ward not to even talk of a local government. other migrant ethnic groups in lagos even have more people in lagos than the lagos ijaws(just to assume the exist in lagos) In rivers, the igboid groups are more than 65-70% in rivers state, leaving the remaining 30% to be share between the remain groups 9 Likes 4 Shares |
