You are right and wrong. 18% of Bini population are of the Yoruba tribe. They are Yorubas BUT they are NOT Nigerians.
It's more than 18%

After Fon and Adja, Yorubas are the third largest ethnic group in Benin.

I know that very well....they aren't Nigerians but Beninese...don't forget Yoruba is a major language of Benin Republic.angelique kidjo singa in yoruba because her mama is beninois Yoruba,not the nigerian Yoruba...the fact that they have egun,Yoruba bad Hausa tribes in their country doesn't make the. Nigerians...there are hausas and fulanis in Ghana,Mali, niger,Burkina Faso etc ...that doesn't make them nigerians
thanks for this..

@OP u are wrong, u should have said they got to the round of 16 without winning a single match, they just beat Morocco thats why they are in the quarters

They don't count penalty as winning in football record. Like the game yesterday between Benin n Morocco is a draw in full time.
The penalty was to decide who move to the next round.

So if you win by pens at a final game, the trophy na dash dem dash you, you no win am grin

That game with Morocco shows exactly when God is with you, no man not even the strongest person can stop. With everything the referee did for Benin to be eliminated. But God saw them through

they aren't Nigerians....Benin bear Nigerian names cos they have Hausa and yoruba tribes in their country

You are very correct, There are not Nigerians, most Beninoise speak Yoruba Fluently even the non Yorubas Especially the ones in Port Novo, and there are more than a Million Yorubas in Benin and they bear Nigerian names though they have history of migrating from Nigeria many centuries ago.

Don't mind the OP,Benin deserved the winning,i watched the match and there was nothing of being biased by official unlike when the whitemen officiate against Africans, they played 1 all draw up to 120mins and resorted to penalties.

Let us appreciate our own pls.

Ronaldo and Portugal won Euro as one of the best loser so Benin is nothing new
You will never know sorrow in your life my bro,we Africans esp. Nigerians always derive pleasure from disparaging our very own even if it was apparent that the white men were our greatest enemy,you can see how white officiated against Africans esp Cameroon in the on going women's WC.

I watched the match in question and Benin rep. really deserved the winning, they played good football,Morocco held them one all draw which led to penalties,then what's the fuss about it

In 2012 afcon Zambia won ivory coast with a penalty in the final. During the 2013 afcon, I could remember a commentator saying ivory coast did not lost a match in 2012 afcon.

So it seems they don't record the result penalty as winning or losing in soccer.

According to soccer rules, goals in extra time and penalty are not counted or recorded.
Penalty is only use to determine who to move to the next round.
