On 11 January 2007 a user with IP: 12.4.214.146 changed the population of the Ekpeye from 80,000 to 150,000 in their traditional area, Ahoada and Ogba-Egbema areas of Rivers State. I don't disagree that the 150,000 is a likely number for the current population, but I haven't found any citation. Ethnologue cites a 1973 value of 30,000 native speakers of the Ekpeye language, which may be less than the ethnic population especially given the regional preference for the Igbo language. --

Thanks for that. What do you think we should do? Go back to the sourced 80 thousand, or use your reasoning here and list 130 thousand? The 150 needs to go in any case. —

Let's go with 80,000 (1991 census) 130,000 (est. 2006 census) and then correct it in May when the 2006 figures have been released, assuming that the ethnic data can somehow be extracted. I am not hopeful. --

I agree. The Ekpeype see themselves as unique. That does not negate the analysis of their place among Nigerian ethnic groups. --

Clans
On 6 May 2012,
Edegrigri added a great deal of material under a subsection entitled "The Clan". It was a direct copy of copyrighted material from the
Usama Ekpeye website. I have removed it as a copyright violation. If such material is added back in, it should be done in an encyclopedic manner with citation to more than one source. --

On 31 August 2014, new editor
DON KENNEDY BEKEE added material about clans without citing a source, namely:
,The Ekpeye is made up of four clans, namely; Upata,Akoh, igbuduya, ubio, each clan has a capacity of at least 30 villages, that has a traditional ruler called Eze nweula, and a family chief called the Eze new obodo, the clan chief is called by the name of the clan, like Eze igbuduya or Eze igbu Upata, the morning is been called oyukwe, while the afternoon is called eyie, the night is called Abali.
I have removed it, pending adequate
verification. --21:12, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
