Note: Ijaw is not a particular dialect but different groups that came as one to form one entity due to same ancestry.
Rivers State have 3 tribes

Ijaw
Igboid
Ogoni.



Rivers State have 23 LGAs with over 6 million people in it.


These are the tribes in each Rivers LGA



1.Abua/Odual === Ijaw
2.Asari Toru==== Ijaw
3.Akuku Toru==== Ijaw
4.Bonny===== Ijaw
5.Opobo/Nkoro===== Ijaw
6.Andoni===== Ijaw
7.Okrika===== Ijaw
8.Ogu/Bolo ====== Ijaw
9. Degema=====Ijaw
10.Ahoada West======= Ijaw/Ekpeye

11.Port Harcourt City====== Ikwerre /Ijaw.
12.Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni====== Acculturated Egbema Ijaws plus Ndoni and Ogba

13.Oyigbo====== Acculturated Ndoki Ijaws

14.Etche==== Umubaraibi(Okrika Ijaw) and Igbos

15. Omuma===== Igbo
16.Obio/Akpor ======= Ikwerre
17. Ikwere LGA=====. Ikwerre
18.Emuhua======== Ikwerre
19. Ahoada East===== Ekpeye Igbo

20.Eleme===== Ogoni and also Ndoki Ijaws
21.Gokana===== Ogoni
22.Khana====== Ogoni
23.Tai===== Ogoni



In conclusion Ijaw is by far the largest tribe in Rivers State.
Ijaw is the only group with full presence in the 3 Senatorial Districts of the State.


The 24 years of democracy only Ijaw have been Deputy Governors of Rivers from one Ijaw to another and now that it was time for Governor all parties zoned to Ijaw because Ijaw occupy half of Rivers State.

Ogoni has neither become Deputy nor Governor.


Ask if any other tribe have ever been Deputy Governor since democracy 25 years now?
It was as Ijaw became Governor they get the Vice...

President, Nairaland Ijaws.

False. The statement is inaccurate. While it correctly identifies Ijaw, Igboid, and Ogoni as tribes in Rivers State, it oversimplifies the tribal distribution in the local government areas (LGAs). Additionally, the claim that Ijaw is by far the largest tribe in Rivers State lacks sufficient evidence or statistical .

Not by wrong arguments check LGA by LGA like I did.

Fake list...
1-Igbo
2-Igbo
3- Igbo

It's on Biafra map

I don't agree with you.



River State is largely Igbo state. Let's say the truth.

President, Nairaland Ijaws.

Obigbo people and Etche are Ijaw in your dreams.

paramakina202:


Obigbo people and Etche are Ijaw in your dreams.

It is Oyigbo and not Obigbo and their elders in Azumini keep sending endless documents to speak on their Ijawness that they are Ibani Ijaws.


Etche is part of it.
It is stated there and not all Etche.

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, the Ikwere (Igbos) tribe is one of the largest ethnic groups in Rivers State, Nigeria.

You are not being realistic.
Even the word AZUMINI is as Igbo as Obigbo can be.
Anyway continue claiming territories online like Simon Ekpa it isa free world just as you are online president of Ijaw.

There was nothing called Oyigbo until 1976 when Obigbo was carved out of Imo State and and put in Rivers State, then renamed 'Oyigbo'. Ndoki people have nothing in common with Ijaws, their culture and language is Igbo

Tell that to their elders and leaders that keep running back as Ijaws because that's who they are.

I don't claim territories those are Ijaw land.
Ijaws don't land grab like Igbos.


If you know Ijaw well,you would see loving people and can only tear you apart when you overstep your boundaries.

Ikwerre is not upto 26 percent of Port Harcourt.

Of Port Harcourt population.

Grandfathers that full Ijaw House every now and then that they are Ijaws.

Igbo speaking people constitute over 60percent of Rivers state mainly native in upland area. However, close to half of the riverine people can speak Igbo too, notably the okrika, kalabari, eleme, bonny,opobo etc

No LGA in rivers speaks Ijaw.

Wike went to an Ogoni area and was telling them enye ndi ebea, enye ndi ebea and they were responding.

Over all, more than 70percent of rivers state can speak Igbo.

There is no single language called Ijaw.
Stop writing trash.

GreatBoss:

Your statement appears contradictory. The Ijaw/Ijo are not originally indigenous to Rivers State. In the broader context of the Niger Delta, the Jaws outnumber the Ikwerre. However, within Rivers State specifically, the Ikwerre population sures that of the Jaws. Please ensure accuracy in your records.

How can 3 and half LGA of Ikwerre have more Population than 13 and half LGAs that Ijaw have in Rivers?


Listen to your self.

Go to Aba Road or Oil Mill and be looking for vehicles going to Oyigbo you go wait taya
Oyigbo is simply a political contraption from the military after the civil war to de-igbonise Rivers State

Ijaw is the only ethnic group in Nigeria land grabbing people of other tribes that does not hear come in Izon language no be juju be that?
Anyway talk is cheap whenever Nigeria collapses as a nation we go know who is who.As of now you can even claim Nsukka as Ijaw no problem.

Grow up.

GeneraDitari:

Yes you are right.You people have no language.
The people you listed as Ijaw speaks Igbo language as their mother tongue.From Obigbo to Etche,Bonny to Opobo to Okrika to Kalabari etc.
Then inside Ijaw Bayelsans they do not understand each other talkless of Ijaws of Delta.

GeneraDitari:

Check the LGAs as explained.

Bro, Ijaw is found in a scanty quantity in those LGA mentioned, but when it comess to the the total number in rivers Ikwerre is far more than the Ikaws. But on the other hand when it comes to niger Delta/nigeria as a whole the ijaws outnumbered the Ikwerre.

I was born, brought up, living, and have a house in rivers and I have thoroughly done my research about the indigenous dominance of ethnic groups in rivers.

This is where I rest my case.

Mumu plenty for this country.

If Ijaw man does not tell you he is Ijaw you won't know.
You may be eating with Ijaw and nothing shows such.
So you know nothing.
