I was listening to the song "Motor Mixture" by Shama Melody, and as he was giving greetings and praises to the Igbo in diaspora, I began to wonder.

So, nairalanders, both Igbo and non-Igbo, what do you think?

Here's my list in order:

1. USA (New York; Houston/Dallas, Texas; California; Maryland; Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois)
2. UK (London, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham)
3. South Africa
4. Canada
5. Germany
6. Netherlands
7. Malaysia
8. China
9. Thailand
10. Spain
11. Ghana
12. Benin
13. Equatorial Guinea
14. Japan
15. Finland
16. Sweden
17. South Korea

It's extremely amazing that a people, who a mere century ago were forest-dwellers in the heart of West Africa, have spread themselves to every icy corner of the world in ambitious pursuit of success. I am truly humbled to be a member of such a determined and hard-working set of people.

Umu Igbo zuru uwa niile, aru amaka unu! Unu ana eri gini eh?! ✊

South Africa, China and the United states in no particular order.

I've always known there were a lot of Igbos in SA but never knew they were so much until I watched some clips of Nigerian fans who went to support the Nigerian team in the stadium. 90% of them are Igbos.

There are lots of Igbos in the US too it's just that, because the US is so big, it's hard to notice any group that is less than 1 million in population.

Let's also not forget our African neigbours, Cameroon and Equitorial Guinea. Loads of Igbos there.

Nwanne m, you won't believe how amazed I am. To be honest, here in the United States, every week I come across atleast one Igbo person in the strangest and most unexpected manner. Whenever I wonder how much our people have trekked the world, I find myself speechless.

America, south africa, europe, china

Moving around, making money and bringing the money home and developing home..... In ol countries, I only pity those that will be in odua and boko state, come 2015.

You left out Senegal,Gambia,Ivory coast,Seychelles,Malawi,Cambodia,Ireland rep.



They are thousands in those places.

Even brazil,argentina,bolivia for ndi na eme ife.

Lots of them in mexico as well.

I have seen ibo's in very poor African nations, d most uncivilized villages in d north, they r just everywhere and d good tin is dat dey r thrivin!!! put dem underground, d wud still thrive

From my personal observation, it is in this order
USA
SA
CHINA
MALAYSIA
UK

Biafra

I believe that the Igbo population is grossly underestimated.

Call me crazy but I think we number over 50 million (Accounting for all Igbos in existence today).

Given our conspicuous presence all over the globe it has to be so.

But i hope these people will come back home one day. The fact that our people are scattered throughout the globe is a pointer that things are not well back home.

There's a lot of igbo culture being promoted in the Igbo-British community. Have a look at their channel, they are trying to keep the language alive.

Everybody should bow down to the Chinese because they are just too many. Compared to the Chinese, the Yoruba, Igbo etc are similar to a drop in the ocean.
