Why not add yoruba and fulani?

we have indigenous fulanis in ebonyi, ezzi LGA is occupied by the fulanis and they're indigenous to ebonyi state

slivertongue:


see reasoning abeg. Adamawa is a fulani name but the inhabitants are outrightly native people. fulanis are spread across Central and Northern Gombe but there are other ethnic groups there

Oga,fulanis are the most numerous ethnicities in gombe and adamawa from this explanation

The issue with you is that you argue what you have little knowledge about. Adamawa is a non fulani state though they may have the top elites but the population are non fulani. Gombe State is same

The Nupe ethnic group (also known as Tapas) should be recognized as a major ethnic group in Nigeria before mentioning Igbos.. Nupes are found in Niger State (a State thrice as large as the entire South East region combined) and Kwara (in Edu LGA).

We need to do census to determine our indigenous populations and know who should be talking and those that should keep shut during national discourse.

They said that Fulani's are less than 1.5m in Nigeria? Do you believe that?

Of course not.. Fulanis are in Adamawa, Katsina, Sokoto, Kebbi etc. and some settled in Kwara State.
Fulani population should be well over 10-15 million in Nigeria.

Are you counting Hausa too?

Fulanis inter-marry with Hausas a lot and their offspring use the term "Hausa-Fulani" to refer to themselves.
Did you know former President Buhari's dad is Hausa and mom Fulani?.. I doubt. But most people see Buhari as Fulani man.

But Hausa is distinct from Fulani?

Very distinct.. but religion and culture makes the two blend excellently well.

Hausas are the largest ethnic group in Nigeria followed by Yorubas.

You talk carelessly and childishly about what you know little about.a simple search on Google will tell you that fulanis dominate those states.how will you have the top elites when you don't dominate that state? It is pure madness

I asked you to generate information from the net but also warned that not all information is correct. Information you generate could be subjected to content analysis. You haven't lived in these states neither have you visited them. When last did a fulani person govern these States? Who are the governors & deputy governors of these States from 1990-2023?
Fulani elites are top of the social order in the States they claim that is why most southern people think they dominate the North or the states they claim. They are largely a negligible population in most states.

Yoruba is the largest ethnic group in Nigeria. it is the amalgamation of northern polities into Hausa-Fulani that is the largest ethnic stock in Nigeria. indigenous hausas are much but ain't much like Yorubas an igbos

I don't know why you are trying to portray false information here. You're wrong. Fulani are not the largest group in Adamawa though they conquered the place and installed an emir just like Ilorin having an Emir but it doesn't negate the fact they are minorities in Kwara state just as they are minority in Adamawa state.

yoruboid:
Meaning the land mass we though was “tanny” is even tinier than we think

Landmass means nothing in the grand scheme of things, child!

What matters is your Human Resources and how you’re able to develop whatever natural resources you have. Oyo state is large, yet filled with mud houses and rusted buildings. Imo State still has a larger GDP than your big for nothing Oyo state.


Meanwhile, there are also Igbos in Cross river, Benue, Akwa Ibom, Delta, Edo, Rivers etc. Igboland is far bigger than South East. Meanwhile, there are other tribes in the SW and the only oil bearing community in SW is owned by Ijaws in Ondo.

Almaiga:
Igbo own 3 and half States in the East
1-Abia
2-Imo
3-Ebonyi
And half of Enugu State.


Igala own and are indigenous to 2 and half States in the East
1-Anambra
And half of Enugu State.

You're suffering from psychosis 😎..

Are Ilajes Ijaw?

Almaiga:


You are wrong. However, Ebonyi People are presently claiming they are not Igbo. If this happen, that means Igbo land will only be Abia and Imo States with half of Enugu State only.

You are wrong. Delta owns Anambra. Hausa owns enugu. Yoruba owns Abia. Fulani owns imo that why okorowusa was a Governor. Kogi owns ebonyi. Igbos don't have any land

You mean Ojukwu is Igala? Ogogoro addict like you. Fool tell me one person from Anambra state that bears Igala name. Just one person

Afamsi:

God forbid. Ujukwu is one of those Igbo settlers in Anambra. His parents came to hustle in Anambra from Abia State

slivertongue:


remove Adamawa. Gombe ain't really true

Lol. This guy, I don't know what we've done to you. In the other thread your problem was with the Hausas and here is with the Fulanis.

He has simply stated the fact. Surprised that you don't know this.

Fulani are minority in every state, just less than 1.5 million people in Nigeria. The population of the smallest local government in Oyo state is bigger than all the whole Fulani people.

Lol. You need to start travelling then to learn and unlearn many things...

DeGods007:


I don't think Igbos own any state in south East

Onukwu Igala

Igbo own only 3 and half States in the East

gidgiddy:


Forget these crazy people, they created this thread for jest making

I hope you are not from Anambra or Enugu? Cause Anambra belongs to Igala. While half of Enugu belongs to Igala and one quarter of the same Enugu belongs to Idoma.

I hope you are not one of those Igbo settlers in Anambra and Enugu?

Lol. The name Adamawa itself originated from Modibbo Adama, who was a Fulani. Agreed there are other tribes just like virtually every state but still the Fulanis are the majority. Fulfulde is the language of communication in most parts of the state. Even the Igbos doing business there learn and communicate with it.

Really?

What's really your problem with the Fulanis and the Hausas too, if I may ask? If Adamawa is a "non Fulani state" which state then is?

Not even a man will believe that virtuperation.
