They have reached the same percentage as the Hauses (who have long been the majority), in just under 5 years. [2014- Hausa 21%, Yoruba 21%, Igbo 18%, Fulani 11%, Others minor groups >28% ] Yorubas will have the largest ethnic group in the country (within ~10+ years) Source http://issuu.com/ancorapoint/docs/fascinating_nigeria_issue_3/136 |

Yellowbars wt their propagander again. The last time i checked d last national census was in 2006. Moreso,even d 2006 census questioniare didn't provide room 4 ethnic/religious background/affiliation. So i gues ur dreamy 2014 census was probably conducted in south west states only for u 2 arrive at dis conclution. 1 Like |

pazienza: The Nigerian federal ministry of tourism stats of 2014. Even as I've provided the sources of content, you will still not believe it, because Nigeria is filled with people that can't accept anything that doesn't settle their stomach. |

nynbrada:why are you outraged or dumb-founded by these statistics. You are acting even more than bias, you just sound so delusional, what is the big deal anyway Census can be taken at later times after 2006 and from other organizations, it is population info that should be updated within 5 years. |
Re: 2014 Census Shows That Yoruba People Are Becoming The Major Ethnic Group by Rivertemz: 10:15pm On Jun 28, 2015 |
It should even be made clear that the south east is the most densely populated region in Nigeria. Even if it is filled with a largely diverse % of every ethnic group. It is still Yorubaland, either intermarrying or a sky rocketing increase in the Yoruba population amongst other groups, it is a direct link with the region's development compared to other regions |

Rivertemz: They did house to house count, or some random Yoruba people there sat down and concocted rubbish figures to massage the ego's of their kinsmen? Never in the history of Nigeria has Yorubas been more populous than Ndiigbo, not in the past, and certainly not in the present. Thanks. 1 Like |

Rivertemz: Igbos have always been more populous than Yorubas. Our civil war defeat only allowed you lots to manipulate the percentage composition of Nigerian major groups on paper, even when you lots have rejected every push by Ndiigbo to have ethnicity of origin included in the census. One then begins to imagine where you lots manufactured the lies that Ndiigbo are but 18% of Nigerian population from, in the absence of provisions for ethnicity in the census data. |

pazienza:Please Abeg Sir, give me the sources to these claims asap, because it sounds like it's coming from your a$$ ! Contradict the facts I've stated rather than make foolish claims, I don't understand how someone can claim against a fact without showing proof. Stop imagining and start giving me statistics that support this. Until then, you're a fool !! 2 Likes |

Rivertemz: Which fact? You have no facts. Just a paper percentages with no real life backing, as ethnicity of origin was never included in the 2006 census data by NPC, so pray tell, where did you lots manufacture the ethnic percentages from? The only ethnic group population percentage estimation ever done in Nigerian history, by the neutral colonials, showed that Ndiigbo leads Yorubas in population, by a long shot. |

Rivertemz: Hhahah, I just did my own little research, and here is what I found out. https://i.imgur.com/48MyjKO.jpg Note, these are the figures from the 1963 census.... Before the civil war, when igbos were enjoying considerable power on national level, so no one can say that these figures have been doctored by Yorubas..... infact as at 1963, a lot f the colonial structure left behind by the British were still in place, And I am sure the census itself must have been overseen by them. It clearly states here. Hausa: 20.9 Yoruba: 20.3 Igbo: 16.6 Fulani: 8.6 Kanuri: 4.1 Ibibio: 3.6 1 Like 1 Share

scholes0: You proved me right 150% more the fact that the ratio % from 1960s are almost the same with the census i gave now, but a little lower FURTHER proving my point, that yorubas have increased in percentage after 50+ years. I REST MY CASE Goodbye 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: 2014 Census Shows That Yoruba People Are Becoming The Major Ethnic Group by pazienza(m): 8:03am On Jun 29, 2015 |
scholes0: A 1963 population figure that has Anambra, Enugu, Ogun, Kwara, etc in its data, when those anomalies created by Gowon only started existing from 1970. Secondly, a dubious figure that took cognizant of of Yorubas presence in Kwara and Kogi, but ignored the Igbo presence in Delta, Edo, Rivers, Benue, etc. Thirdly, how many of those Lagos population, actually belongs to Yorubas, seeing that we have huge population of non Yorubas in Lagos,which Ndiigbo consists the majority of? In conclusion, your link, like most things associated with your people, is nothing but an Igbophobic lie, cooked up to massage your egos, but very far from being a representation of facts or truth. 1 Like |

pazienza: Ohhh, so most things associated with Yorubas are "Igbophobic"..... and everything associated with Igbos are "Yorubaphillic" ba?? ... Igbos love yorubas so much, while yorubas just hate Igbos naturally..... right? Rubbish Ironically, You are the only one who has made claims n this thread without backing it up with any proof, just rantings of pure conjecture ...... such as "Igbos have always FAR outnumbered Yorubas"..... We want to see proof, particularly post independent proof.... then, you can from there, go on to show us this "long shot" margin you claim. By the way, It isn't the Yorubas that opposed the inclusion of religious and ethnic data in the 2006 population census under Obasanjo, it was the Northern elite..... Everything must be Yoruba's fault according to you. 2 Likes 1 Share |

pazienza: lol, that link is so archaic, I didn't even bother looking too deeply. Only 5 Yoruba Sub-grpoups..... Oyo, Ekiti, Ijebu and a few others....
