He is Krio. All slaves in Sierra Leone, including the Ibos and the Akus, condensed into single ethnic group called Krio (Creole).

So he was Krio. But looking at his name, you can tell what part of Krio he came from.

Even in your supposed Evidence

There was no mention of igbos among the Krio but Yorubas Oku was mentioned several times

Igbos in Equatorial guinea have been there before 1960 and are now registered as indigenous group there, consisting 5% of the population there.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_Guinea

I dont see Yoruba recognized officially as an ethnic group in Togo.

As for Sierra Leone. The Yorubas were as much as Igbos there. The two groups were rivals and well balanced.
See this thread :https://www.nairaland.com/997451/early-colonial-views-igbos-yorubas


You guys don't know jack. Yorubas are an official ethnic group in Togo called the Ana-Ife. They are also called Atakpame .

Below is the official CIA ethnic demographics of Togo and you can see the Ana-Ife people are there.

Actually there is.

All ethnic census conducted by British have always put Igbos more than Yorubas.

1921, 1931, 1952 census all had Igbos more than Yorubas

https://www.nairaland.com/5875972/1952-nigeria-ethnicity-census-resu

Many yoruba know within themselves that the Igbos are more populous than them but they just can't stomach being a minority in population to the Igbo because it goes against the political narratives of the day. grin

Immigrants are found everywhere.

They are talking about language. Even though you travel everywhere you actually help increase the spread of your host language, not yours.

Indigenesouly Igbo is only found in Nigeria. Your language is not dispersed across boundary lines.

Indigeneously the following are spread across West Africa and their languages are widespread.

Yoruba and Hausa languages colonized others.

Kanuri - Nigeria, Chad
Hausa - Nigeria, Niger, Benin
Bariba - Nigeria Benin
Yoruba - Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Ghana, Sierra Leone.
Fulani - Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger, Mali, Ghana, Guinea,
Hausa-Nigeria,Niger,Cameron, Chad,Sudan,Eritrea, Saudi,Ghana, Benin,Senegal.

You know their problem?
If they see some Igbos doing business anywhere outside Igbo land, they'll assume that Igbos are many and populous.

They even claim Igbos are the largest group after the indigenous in any state in Nigeria. grin

That is why I said igbos are a loud minority.this attitude exaggerates their population. In calabar,igbos outnumber yorubas by a tiny margin.in my street,5 igbos will be so loud and ubiquitous while they will be six yorubas who are quiet and always on low key

[s]Shut your dirty mouth, If we add the Igbo DNA carriers in the carribeans and south America. The Igbo population will dust yoruba population by million.

You want to pretend that most African Americans are not of Igbo heritage, you want us to fill this thread with pictures of AAs rediscovering their Ibo roots? Most Jamaicans are of Igbo descent, the Jonkunu yam festival in Jamaica and Carribeans stems from the Igbo culture, do yorubas celebrate yam festival?
The word 'Unu' in Jamaican patois and Carribean pidgin is an Igbo word derivative. The first black president of Haiti was a former slave of Igbo descent.

So if you yorubas want to go that lane, be our guest, as we all know that it if we factor in Igbo-descendant population in the Americas and Caribs and add it to the local population and in diaspora, 200 million will be a conservative figure for Igbo global population count.[/s]

Travelling to Papau new guinea doesn't strip me of my Ibo heritage. The list said 'most populous African tribe' not 'most populous African tribes resident in Africa'.

So all African tribes both at home and in diaspora are factored in. Get it?

Why I hate to argue with an average Yoruba person is that they lack facts and don't argue with points.

They will be wrong and still very loud, vomiting only insults.


The only strength they have is insults.


One of them said that Fulani are more populous than Hausa and I was expecting one of their brothers to correct him but all supported the rubbish.


How can I continue to argue with this kind of people?
