It baffles me how convenient it is for some people to say there are no Yorubas in the South-south but claim confidently that there are Igbos in Kogi and Benue states. Funny indeed. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Ugomba:Are you from Jupiter? Is akoko-Edo not part of the south-south? What of the itsekiri people in Delta state? Can you tell me if there's any difference between omowumi and omawumi(in itsekiri), orisafemi and oritsefemi(also in itsekiri), etc? Benin is part of yorubaland even though some, out of their selfish and personal interest claim otherwise despite the facts on ground...Oba is Benin king's title. Olu( which means king or a head in yoruba) is the king's title in warri so, mind what you say in a forum like this. 7 Likes |

Strictly speaking Yorubas are the largest ethnic group (21%), followed by Ibos (18%) then Hausas and fulanis but because the hausas and fulanis are intertwined and largely indistinguishable, they are regarded as one tribe and make up 29%, so they are regarded as no1 tribe. Historically Fulanis are not Nigerians, The North traditionally consists of hausas and Kanuris as well as the Birom, Gwari, Nupe and Jukun. Fulanis are wanderers from and islamic scholars from Senegal who brought islam to Nigeria, conquered the north installed Fulanis as Emirs and integrated themselves in the hausa community with a deliberate policy of intermarraige. interesting fact: Every Emir in Nigeria is Fulani, they are all related and direct descendants of usman Dan Fodio. 8 Likes 1 Share |

TonyeBarcanista:The great LIE. Patience is not ijaw. The igbo sub group of ikwerre, itche etc are more than 70% of rivers state. Ijaws are one of the minorities of rivers state. An ijaw man can never be governor in rivers state. They must compete with other minor groups for Deputy governor. 1 Like |

aylagos: Lmao. How many Fulani men have you come across? So you think they are 40million Fulanis living in the bushes around Nigeria. If you believe that then you need help. Mind you the Fulani don't control more than 3 States in the north west and they aren't the only tribe found there unlike the Igbo that have an entire zone to themselves and even extend to the south south and middle belt. The ranking goes like this Yoruba-Igbo-Hausa, then whichever tribe 3 Likes 1 Share |
