5 Traditional Ethnic Groups To Watch out For

Ijaw

The Niger Delta region is the largest ethnic group in the South-south Nigeria.

They cut across three States namely Bayelsa, Delta and River and celebrate their culture mainly through festivals like the Seigbein fishing festival and Isemi festival in Bayelsa state.

Ijaw people are primarily fishermen and they love their ogogoro or gin. They distinguish themselves with their bowler hat, blouse, wrapper and walking stick. Former President Goodluck Jonathan hails from the Ijaw ethnic group.
