Tiv is the 4th largest. Even Wikipedia confirms it, it reads: "They are among the majority ethnic groups in Nigeria, ranking as the fourth most populous ethnic group. Numbering about six million individuals in Benue State alone, according to 2014 estimates, they occupy the Middle Belt States of Benue, Taraba, Nasarawa, and Plateau. A few Tiv are also found in Cross River and Adamawa States of Nigeria and in the southwestern Province of Cameroon." Source- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiv_people 2 Likes |

The fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria is IJAW. They are in Bayelsa, Rivers, Delta, Ondo, Edo and Cross River states of Nigeria. |

This country is just full of illiterates. How can someone say that because a tribe is indigenous to several states or even regions, that makes them large. There's a difference between been widespread and being large. A tribe can be found in only one state and still be very large as opposed to a tribe in several states. If for example, you say Ijaw is the 4th largest ethnic group and support it with the fact that they're in Bayelsa, Rivers, Edo and Delta. The question i will ask is "How many are they in these states?". There are about 1.7million people in Bayelsa state and let's assume that all of them are Ijaws (meaning, there are no non-indegenes living there) and let's not forget that the largest population of Ijaws are in bayelsa. Now let's add them to the Ijaws in Rivers state which for the sake of this argument, i'll say they constitute 30% of the population and using the official census, that will be about 30% of 5.1 million which gives you about 1.5 million. In the spirit of generosity let's also assume that Ijaws make-up 30% of the population of Delta state which gives them 1.2 million out of 4 million and let's dash them 500,000 each in Edo and Ondo states. Let's also assume that Ijaws also travel a lot and that there population outside their States is 1 million, that gives them a total of 5.4 million and this is in the spirit of generosity and hear I saw someone saying that the Ijaws have a population of 15 million. The kind of bogus lies some Nigerians tell is just bigger than the problems of the county. The truth is that there is no official census based on ethnicity in Nigeria. All we can do is to speculate but with reason. For instance, I usually use the ethnicities I run into mostly in different parts of the country to determine which of them is larger and I must say that I come across more than 10 Efik/Ibibio/Annang/Oron people before I come across an Ijaw person. So, there's no way Ijaws are anywhere close to being the 4th largest. cc: hopeathand, tonyebarcanista 18 Likes 2 Shares |

lekkie073: Oga u dont know what u are saying o. Only Kanuris produce the governor in Borno and Yobe states. The same kanuris are also found in Jigawa and Bauchi state in large numbers. Kanuri are the 4th largest group. I dont think Ijaws can even be up to Tivs in population. |

But wait to how come you people are not mentioning NUPES and GWARI people? These are among the largest tribes in the middlebelt. Nupe people are the largest tribe in Niger state, the second largest tribe in Kwara state and they are found in large numbers in Kogi state and FCT. |

Man gave you books, read them. man gave you google, use it. Everything you want is out there is you can be bothered. Nothing I say will make a difference so it's up to you to find the truth if that is really what you want to know.
