No Yoruba man can ever understand Epinmi, Ipe or Isua languages in Akoko SE of Ondo. Those are purely Edoid languages, but the people are proud Yorubas. But a Yoruba man would understand Usen language in Edo to a reasonable extent.
Go ask around. Some of us know alot about these things and have visited these places to get first hand info.

GoddessSheridan:


They have used Lagos-Ibadan media to wash your brain.

Go and check CIA.
They British made the real census during col. period

bigfrancis21:


Slaves from Congo and Angola far outnumber Yoruba slaves any day anytime. If you say otherwise, furnish evidence to prove this.

I understand you're being jaded. What you're just discovering doesn't align with the misinformation you've been made to believe all your life.

9jakool:



Angola and Congo are not ethnic groups but nations with many ethnic groups. It's two whole countries vs. one single ethnic group. Arguably, Yoruba is the largest African ancestry by ethnicity and most influential African culture in Brazil.

pazienza:


Lol!

Whatever floats your boat.

Yorubas are only found in Benin republic.

Iamgrey5:
Show us evidence?

Cosbyrich:
I do not know why small Igbos are competing with Yoruba in population. Yorubas are everywhere in the world.Most black Africans are Yoruba while a few number of them are from others.
African Americans are beautiful people just like the beautiful and widely travelled Yoruba people.
American Yorubas are more than American Igbos.

Even Yoruba Canadians are more than Igbo Canadians.

Yorubas dominate the UK.

Prove to me that the "Ebo" has anything related to Igbo? Ebo is also an African name which means "born on Tuesday."

lexyking:



Yoruba culture is factually the most influential black African culture, not just in Brazil but the whole of south America and north America

sesan85:
Dude, this is the last time I'll reply you. I only took an interest in whatever you had to contribute because your fellow fraudulent IPOB dude Pazienza cited you as an authoritative figure when it comes to issues like this. But alas, you're even worse off than Nnamdi Kanu's IPOB cretins.

Pulling dubious figures out of your own delusional ass. First you claimed Igbo is the third largest ethnic group in EG, even though they're only a part of the 1.4% "other." Then you claimed Yoruba people have at least 50% of Igbo blood in them. What sane human being will take you serious after your codeine-influenced, asinine, dubious claims. Go home dude, you're drunk! Sod off!

FYI

bigfrancis21:



Unarguably, no facts exist to prove this.
1.2m vs 0.437m, at least 2.5 as much.

bigfrancis21:


Angola and Congo = West Central = almost 4m exports combined.

Bight of Benin = 2.1m exports, Aja people (majority) 1.6m, Yoruba 0.45m.

Bight of Biafra = 1.46m exports, Igbo 1.2m, Ibibio/Efik/Ijaw = 0.25m.

Once again I furnish extra data for you if you are unable to source them by yourself.

Edited Wikipedia snapshots. Wikipedia has reverted to the original figures below:

Iamgrey5:
You are actually a phony guy

On one list the total number of slaves exported from bight of Biafra was 1.7 m

Yet on another list the total number exported was 1.4 million

It looks to me that you doctored some list.

bigfrancis21:


Renowned researcher, Douglas Chambers estimates 1.7m exports from the Biafran Bight and his colleague, Paul Livejoy, estimates roughly 1.5m. I never doctored any list sir.

Iamgrey5:
Sir

Can we have a link to this research?

Juliusmalema:



You need grace.

No need for any link. For someone like you to post screenshot of just a reported palace gathering, clearly shows you don't know the meaning of research...

Claiming to be sound but the that's the other way round.

Iamgrey5:
Bruv, you would have noticed that I have largely ignored you like the rest of the people here since yesterday.

Even in scholarly reviewed journals, a direct link is provided for any report accessed on the internet with date of access clearly stated in the bibliography or list of reference section.

Your master provided contradictory reports about bight of Biafra and decided to use it for the purposes of an argument. So.you expect me not to question his sources.

most of these comments on populations of African ethnic groups may be difficult to determine because of the fraudulent activities usually associated with it. However the 1979 Elections in which over 90 per cent Igbo and Yoruba voted N.P.P and U.P.N respectively we all saw the outcome.

Chief Obafemi Awolowo's 4.9 million votes doubled Dr.Nnamdi Azikiwe's 2.2 million votes.Check voting patterns across the states.

The election was conducted by the military.

Olukumi in Anioma speak Yoruboid language and acknowledge descending from Owo, but are they Yorubas?
Same is applicable to those Ife people in Togo.
They are Ife descendants, but they are not Yorubas. They have evolved a new identity of their own.
Ijebu are supposed to be descendants of Sudan and not Ife ,It took them time to accept the Yoruba tag, but they are Yorubas today, thanks to Awolowo emergence as Yoruba leader.

There are many Edoid speaking groups in Akoko SE in Ondo, but they are Yorubas today because they have forged a bond with the rest of Yoruboid tribes around them.
The Usen people in Ovia SW in Edo are basically Yorubas, I have been there, they speak a Yoruboid language, their King is called Elawure(a clearly Yoruba word) and not Ovie/Ogie/Ojie as found amongst Edoids. But they are proud of their Edo identity, because for some reason, they were not involved in the formation of Yoruba as an ethnic group from the beginning and have always flown with the Edos. My good friend from Usen is named Olarenwaju.

You will never be able to convince anyone that those Togolese are Yorubas. We can accept they migrated from groups that formed Yoruba and have now evolved their own distinct entities.

unbitchable:

I still wouldn't understand why some Yoruba peeps keep engaging in a prolonged argument with people of thoughtless and disjointed mindset. How can a Yoruba subgroup be a descendant of Ife and at the same time are not Yoruba. How dumb does that sound.
Heard the land-grabbing ibos are now claiming the Olukumis as being ibos. How more inferior would the ibos prove themselves to be.

pazienza:


The Minorities already poisoned with toxic Igbophobia of Lagos/Ibadan express way media propaganda all voted for mostly Awolowo or Shagari to some extent.
Zik had just Igbos votes.

Additionally, election results in Nigeria are about as useless as determing ethnic census because of the usual irregularities that take place.

pazienza:


They are now called Odiani and not Olukumi. They have been assimilated as Enu-ani Igbos.

unbitchable:

Zik, who was the darling of the minorities suddenly became the daredevil in a switch. Awo turned him from a beautiful swan to a ugly duckling while Awo whom the minorities had never wanted became the toast of all. Awo made him look so bad that only ibos voted for him.
Na una lies go kill una. When we say ibos are the purveyors of lies, it's no coincidence, it's a fact.
