Will you keep quite.

Mention the country where there is no Yoruba.

Yoruba are indigenous to Nigeria, Togo, Benin, they are found in Ivory coast, Ghana, there are indigenous to Cuba, Brazil.

They are also found in many countries all over the world

All these zoo educated rats


Do you know the meaning of indigenous, to say yorubas are indigenous to Cuba and Brazil?

What you have in Cuba and Brazil are descendants of yorubas slaves who have decided to retain a part of the Yoruba culture.... it doesn’t make them yoruba, even if they speak Yoruba: does speaking English make you English?

You also have descendants of igbo slaves littered all over the Caribbean, should they also be counted as Igbos?

Finally, the only place yoruba is spoken outside nigeria as an indigenous language and also identify with the yorubas in Nigeria is those of Benin republic, and they are just a 12% minority yorubas speaking tribe KnowN as KETU people, in Benin republic and also in Togo.. It doesn’t make whole of 11million population of Benin republic yorubas or 6million Togolese yoruba. There are also other tribes in those countries


That you have people similar to yoruba in Ghana or Ivory Coast, doesn’t make them yorubas.... they don’t even call themselves or identify As yorubas, neither do they speak a dialect or language related to yorubas.

Yorubas can also be found in foreign country but Igbos are far more than them in foreign countries.... Talking from experience. Maybe u have not traveled to any Asian or Europian country that's why it's hard for u to understand. The only European nation u can find Yorubas more than Igbo's is England.

Even in South and North American nations, Igbo's also outnumbered them by far.

From good source

The Hausa language is the second most spoken indigenous language with 120 million speakers.
Those who speak the language can be found in Nigeria, Niger, Chad, Benin, Cameroon, Togo, Central African Republic, Ghana, Sudan, Eritrea, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Senegal, and The Gambia.

Yorubas had never outnumbered Igbos even in Nigeria.

If you are educated, get Nigeria census data as of 1960's.

That's typographical error.


Meanwhile everything is all about tribal to u guys... that's why you guys don't learn.


Everything is not all about Igbo vs Yoruba.... Try and grow up.



Even in the so called Togo and Benin that yoruba are indigenous, am not even sure that yorubas outnumbered Igbo's in those countries.



You guys are just blinded with one disease which is Igbophobia .


That's why u fight and argue against what is clear to everybody.

You called someone an illiterate and you're talking of growing up.

I think it is a mistake because TIV are the ones who could posses such statistics coupled with kanuri...


Ijaw 15 million is just inflated to place it at 10.

How is Igbo second before Yoruba?

Yoruba is even the second most populated ethnic groups in nigeria after the hausa fulani.

They are second most populated in Benin republic.

They are present in Togo, ivory coast, and south America countries.

Just because igbos are more visible (trade) and loud doesn't make them more populated

The ijaw own is a joke. Even though many claims ijaw for political reasons but let me leave that behind.

Even if you add all the states ijaw are present in and add all the population it's still won't be up to 15 million in population
