So the number of igbos in the north is now equal to the number of yorubas in the north, Nigeria is really absurd with the truth. Igbos that have whole sections in bauchi and Gombe named after them. Far interiors of yobe, like gashua ,hadejia , nguru, igbos have guest houses, also in gwoza, jos, etc

My trip around the north made me fear for igbos, I saw igbos in biliri, numan, mutum biu, funtua, kpantisawa, and one comedian wants to equate number of igbos in north with yorubas


Make una dey try fear God biko, the lies and falsification are reaching a breaking point, Tufiakwa, this is the handiwork of satanic manipulations

That is why they will never put state of origin in the census questionnaire.........you go shock.....the result of the presidential elections nearly put Tinubu and buhari in ICU..........out of the 17 miilion voters in southwest nearly 6 million be Igbo! Go figure that!

If ụna like, give ndigbo zero population.
We sendeth you not.
We know who we be.
This is all that matters.
We move.... Regardless.

igbos in the North is 4mil...?

Wonderf..!
The population of Igbos in Adamawa state alone will hit above 300k.. They will hit 500k and above when you get to Kaduna, Kano, Plateau, Benue, Nasarawa..

Igbos are no less than 7mil in the north.

There are more than 8 million Igbo in the North

The most important thing is not the number, it is in quality. Although,I do not like describing any human being as inferior, a lot of people are not trained to be asset in Nigeria. A large number of individuals in Nigeria are liability to the society. So, we must stop talking about ethnicity in numbers, but in achievements and the quality of life available to our respective society.
Igbo should measure their community by the quality of life of the people. Likewise Hausa and Yoruba.

If I had not traveled Nigeria and lived and worked all round Nigeria, I would have believed the satanic manipulations being churned out by some individuals. The massive population, investment and spread of igbos in kaduna , jos , kano maiduguri is talk for another day.

I remember going to Azare somewhere in Bauchi only to hire a welder who happened to be igbo but employed Hausas as apprentice ,I was so amazed that I had to engage him every evening to discuss about business, socio politics etc.

Do you know that in every northern town , city or village 90% probability that the chemist, boutique, restaurant, beer parlor, spare parts shop, electronics shop you will find there is owned by an igbo man.

I once met an igbo man in shehu laminu way who told me that he sells computer spares in maiduguri and that he has customers that come from Chad to buy spares and parts for their system, someone that fixed my phone in kaltungo Gomber state is an igbo engineer who served in gombe and opted to settle there.

The business network and empire of igbos is simply beyond the scope of nairaland.

You are vast,
I once handled a contract at Zaki local government, it is located after Azare in Bauch state, I am familiar with all the locations you enumerated, we currently have a guest house and living house somewhere in Gombi local government of Adamawa state

Am not interested in your competition flaunting but your guys' arrogance is nauseating and ridiculous.

Yes, Igbo travels a lot, but other Nigerians too do.

For your information, we have more Yoruba in the north than Igbo.

Let me break it down for you, Yoruba have been trading with the North even before the amalgamation of Northern and Southern protectorates. That is why you have some Yoruba that have almost completely assimilated with the Hausa culture in the North

Where you have a large presence of Yoruba include
1. Kebbi
2. Sokoto
3. Kaduna
4. Niger
5. Kogi
6. Kwara
7. Abuja

The lies you guys dish to yourself at village square does not translate to truth and it only exposes your ignorance and myopic mindset.

Just because Nigerians have allowed you to continue in your bullying should make you be dishing out lies on social media.

Isn't kwara not formely yoruba land, yorubas are a senatorial zone in kogi. There are not more yorubas than igbos in kaduna and Abuja, you can check your internet, at a time igbos were said to own 75% of the landed property in Abuja .

If yorubas have been trading in the north then where is the proof, igbos lived and worked in the north even before amalgamation of Nigeria so much so that most prominent igbos were born in the north like Nnamdi Azikiwe in born in zungeru 1904 his parents lived and worked in the north while the british were still trying to colonize Nigeria, which means that there were igbo communities in the north as at 1904 Ojukwu was born in the north, Jim Nwobodo too,Rochas, ike nwachukwu was born of igbo father and fulani mother even before the independence, Alex Ekwueme , cyprian Ekwensi were all born and bred in the north , show me any prominent yoruba leader born in the north etc. I am not talking about kogi or kwara , I mean core northern Nigeria, Nzeogwu was born in the north.

Showing me 1 prominent or visible yoruba born in the north before amalgamation like Zik or even before independence like ojukwu and Jim Nwobodo

You can believe all the lies you are told its none of my business, am just here to put record straight so you won't deceive innocent nairalanders seeking information on the internet.

The bolded is one of the lies you tell yourself

The people that own major properties in Abuja are the Civil Servant and politicians.

Early settlers that we're transferred when FCT was moved from Lagos to Abuja have more of Yoruba.

The next people are the politician and by virtue of 5states in the SE you have the lowest representation.

If we have to narrow landed properties in Abuja based on state, Kastina comes first.

The only area you have concentration of Igbo is around Dei-Dei area.

Coming to Estates in Abuja where do you have Igbo concentration?

Even in the suburb area tell me where do we have Igbo in large concentration?Gwagwalada, Yanyan, Kubwa, Kuje or Lugbe?

My point was a reply to your post where you said Igbo has more population than Yoruba in the North, Since you agree that Yoruba are indigenous to Kogi, Kwara and Niger, there is no need to press further as your subsequent post has validated my position.

Abi Kogi and Kwara are no longer north?

You can count the number of Yorubas in the North. I know only 4 Yoruba men in the whole of Zaria.

Whole of Zaria.

Igbos are unaccountable.

The first person I met when I first entered Katsina city was an Igbo man, the second person was another Igbo man.

Yes igbo move and trade all over the North but to say they are more than the Yoruba is doubtful.
A town of Funtua in Katsina state was said to have been started by Kolanut trading Yoruba traders. I don't think there is any state in the north that Igbos can be more than Yoruba.
There are 19 Northern states. Kogi and Kwara are out because Yoruba are indigenous to those two states. ANiger is out because the Tapa and Yoruba are kinsmen and Yoruba have settled there for a long time leaving us with 16 states in contest.
I recalled when crisis happened in Jo's and people jumped into the conclusion that Igbos would have the highest loss but alas when the report came out, it was the Yoruba.
Many will be shocked if the actual census with all bio data is allowed to hold. Two things am sure may show are:
That Nigeria has more Christians than Muslims
That Yoruba would probably be the largest single ethnic group in Nigeria if the Fulani ethnic group is classified differently.

garfield1:


If igbos are 300k in adamawa,how many will the indigenes be?

Which of the indigenes...?

There are over 30 ethnic group or tribe in Adamawa, Igbos are more populated than some of them here..

Yola North LGA alone can boast of more than 100k Igbos..

In my street alone of about 22 compounds, we are more than 100 Igbos here..
