Offpointng: Most of the boast is just plain empty and unsubstantiated chest-beating. Many just deliver it from their guts without ever checking for data and facts; they just employ anecdotes! The data I have seen definitely shows Yorubas run most industries in Nigeria. It is almost a monopoly! 8 Likes |

A very skewed list. They are going by people that need interpreting in courts or other services. Sometimes some yorubas use their language to claim ignorance or naivete during a crime case or immigration case. Most igbos will go with the english in court hearing. It is not evidence of who is more there. |

opamoses1:skunks like you know that Yoruba travel and like to live in other people's land but wouldn't let whoever lives in thier own land rest. Don't come out to vote if you are not Yoruba but wouldn't stay home . Why wouldn't your language top the list while you make the loudest noise , everywhere you go |

profmallor: Typically average Yoruba man is motivated by education and status in society. The average Ibo man is motivated by money. Respect in Yoruba society is not achieved by money but by having a Noble profession. The average yoruba man seeks to have a Noble profession and it is usually their wives that are the hustlers…probably explaining why yoruba women are very aggressive. Most of the best yoruba brains produced between1970 and 1990 are unable to practice their highly sought professions in Nigeria so it is no surprise many yoruba professionals are abroad. Doctors, engineers etc. professionals also tend to be a quiet reserved group. So unless you take a poll you may not know how many actually exist as they are not given to noise making. 7 Likes |

Gamesmart: Ibos are loud in everything..plus they have a habit of going to other peoples’ land and making noise bragging about their “achievements in other peoples’ land whereas Yorubas and other tribes respect themselves as visitors. If you count the number of Nigerian born mayors or politicians in America I am sure there are more Yorubas but the way Ibos carry on you will think every black mayor of politician in America is an Ibo man. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Gamesmart: It's not so implausible that there are more Yoruba speakers in the US than Igbo speakers because quite a higher percentage of Igbos in Lagos grew up being able to speak Yoruba, while there are much fewer Yoruba that can speak Igbo. So in completing the census info, Igbos who can speak Yoruba will add to Yoruba speakers more than Yorubas will add to Igbo Speakers. Just come to Lagos and conduct a little sample to check the veracity of my submission and you'll see that it is quite very likely true 1 Like 1 Share |

Jeezuzpick: Nonsense! They rarely leave because: 1. They do not have the prerequisite educational levels (many Nigerians leave via education route) 2. They are not great at the language of the West (They start of learning Arabic more than English) 3. The religion is number one and everything to them; even more than self and familial well-being (Hence, would not want to mix with infidels in power; they would rather head for a Muslim nation) 4. They are poor and cannot afford travelling (Northerners are the poorest in Nigeria). 5. Poor education and strong hierarchical systems leads to accepting fate of being at the bottom and destitute (only few are the top are enlightened and enjoying like Kings; including enjoying Quota System with their family) 1 Like |

Gamesmart:the topic is not about which language is more in number but the one more spoken, you and I know that Igbos don't like to speak Igbo to their brothers and even their children at home like other tribes, so more than 85% of Igbos here don't speak Igbo, Do you know that even in our Igbo meetings here we still speak English |
