RedboneSmith:
Please, the communities that bear the name "Ute" (I think they're in Ondo State.) What is their origin?

Yes, Ute or Ute ilogi is a small village in Osse local government.
They migrated from Imeri town, Their progenitor is Akensi. Imeri was formerly in Edo state but was transferred to Ondo when the people of the town clamored for that, since they claim the state was wrong (They being Yoruba and not Edo)

In exchange for the moving of Yoruba speaking Imeri to Ondo from Edo, Sobe was moved to Edo from Ondo.

pazienza:
JAMB didn't start collating this data in 2011.
They started as far back as 2006.
OP only picked the years that when collated would show Yorubas leading.
Why not add the stats from. 2006 till date.
See link below.

https://www.nairaland.com/237534/look-going-school-nigeria-statistics#3497176

Forget sentiments.
SW churns out the highest number of graduates in Nigeria as a whole.
Add from 2006 to 2019 and you will see, unless you want to deny the obvious.

Part of the proof that CIA are utterly confused, and in fact do not know what they are doing is that the figures for Nigeria have changed again.
Yorubas are now 15.5%, Igbos 15.2% and Hausa 30%!, Fulani 6%, Tiv 2.4%, Kanuri 2.4%, Ibibio 1.8%, Ijaw/Izon 1.8%, Others 24.7% which is different from their last year released figures but still clearly as dubious as the first if not more.

People shouldn't just swallow every statistic they see online 'hook line and sinker' simply because it looks like it is coming from a seemingly credible source, especially when said statistic looks clearly faulty/fallible. Many of these people seat at their armchairs in faraway countries and throw about figures on issues they know absolutely nothing or have only a very limited knowledge about and suddenly they become 'experts'.

cc: Nowenuse

Very rare, but they exist, Unlike the other way round i.e (Igbos that can speak Yoruba)
That is what I can say.

ProWalker:
Mostly NW states ravaged by banditry

Is this an assumption or what it clearly stated by the backing groups and/or states?

This might sound like an obvious question to some, but trust me when I tell you that it isn’t!

A few weeks ago, when the Western governors, stake holders and security parastatals came together in the city of Ibadan (which would later be unanimously designated city headquater of the security outfit) to launch the WNSN -Western Nigeria Security Network, we all saw a clearly laid out modus operandi- We saw the state governors and by extension the 6 different state house of assemblies that would be passing the laws necessary to back the forthcoming operations. We knew the states involved. There was a map, complete with a logo, a coat of arms and other symbolisms. It was dubbed “Operation Amotekun”

Voices from the Northern region (especially NW) and most especially the Fulanis were the most vocal in opposing the move. They dubbed it a tribal militia even though at the launching, the Yoruba and Yoruboid local governments outside the West, trapped in other states across the country were not include in the scope of the network (at least for now).

All that aside, now according to various news sources, some elements From the North have purportedly launched The Northern Nigeria Security Initiative dubbed “Shege Ka Fasa” We are yet to see any northern state governors nor any relevant Northern stake holder or intellectual supporting or elaborating on the initiative.

What are the Northern states covered by this apparatus?. We all know that Amotekun covers the Yoruba states which are all mostly culturally and ideologically homogenous. What states are within the scope of Shege ka Fasa, since we all know that in the so called “North”, not all areas have the same security challenges or even the same security goals.

Are they the North-West States?
Are they the states where Hausa is widely spoken as a language? Or where Hausas or Fulbes are dominant?
Are they the states that have shariah law or hisbah police in operation?
Are they the entire states in the generic “Northern Nigeria”?
Where will the security headquarters be?

A lot of people would really like to know- becUse this has a lot of implications.

Haha..Nor be soo Senior man. The bros who opened the site with his info just went MIA. I attempted to get in touch with him but i couldn't get through. I don't think we can still recover it sha. Unless we build another one, which I doubt anyone has time for

I sight all of una...

It is true what they say that Islamic indoctrination turns the head of people upside down.
This man is a disgrace to his origins and people as a Tiv man, but now he is supporting Fulani terrorists against something that would become massively beneficial to his own people simply because he is now an "Alhaji".// SMH!

Olalan:
And some idiots would ban their children from speaking their ingenious language at home calling it Vancular.......idiots they are cause the English language they so much respect is another man's language.
BTW I give to to the igbos and hausa cause you hardly find kids of this tribes not been able to understand or even speak their language irrespective of the social status and class of their parents

You say?

lol!

FrLukas:


I think Aba has overtaken Onitsha.

lol!

nlPoster:
A recent write up said the rate of migration into Akure is at extremely high levels, people are moving there very fast. It is not known where most of the migrants are coming from.

I just saw an article which estimated the population of Akure to be 1.8 million by 2015. I don't know if that happened, but perhaps a new city should be created to absorb increasing immigration levels.

Impossible.
@OP Akure is indeed nice. Like 40% of the city is livable by Nigerian standards.. Which is quite high.
The city is also growing in all directions.

EmekaMD:
Do number of children by men and you'd be having crazy figures like 60s and 80s up in the north.

Guess where this kids end up?
Ur guess is as good as mine..

Statistically that would be a herculean task, because unlike in the case of women who can tell you the specific number of children they've had, men can't really tell you with precision the number of women they've gotten pregnant, or how many of the women who got pregnant for them delivered their babies.

Nigeria's real geographical centre lies somewhere in Southern Kaduna about half way between Abuja and Jos, while Nigeria's demographic/Population center lies below the Niger river in western Kogi state around Kabba town.

Just seeing this.

Hmm, I wonder why most people forget that Gbagyis exist in Kogi state. Gbagyis in Kogi state are more than 100k.
From Koton Karfe down till you get to Abaji in FCT, many of those towns and villages belong to Gbagyis.

From Koton Karfe down to Abaji, down to Nasarawa-Toto, Egbura & Gbagyi communities lie side by side.

Cc garfield.

They are not even up to 60K and they are under 'others'/
Kogi lg is predominantly Egbura Koto.

But I will tag you when he responds to my latest remarks.

I was referring to the WAEC and JAMB registration figures nationwide.

Even the little twisted history ipob thought you, you refuse to learn probably.

Ilorin is different from Kwara state.

In Kwara we have two Yoruba groups which are the igbominas and the ilorins ( that has history with Afonja)

Don't forget the Ekitis and the Ibolos (Offa) bros. Even a little bit of Yagba in the extreme east.
