STFU!
I called you out first, so, i expect that you charge at me with your lying teeth. The reverse is the case for you spouting ignorantly and quite pathetically, thus, you do not only lack basic comprehension skills but basic reasoning abilities.
If you're too lazy to look it up in a dictionary, at least, you have a phone, use Google, damn it!

" Substantial" -- Large, Significant, Sizeable, Ample, Considerable.

Your initial post was well attacked because it was fradulently intended.
You might think this forum comprises as much dumb people as your radio biafra. You're nothing but a low level compulsive liar.

AhoadaRivers:
The only tribe that dominate popoulously in their lands, second most populated outside their homelands after the indigenes in states within Nigeria and scattered in every nook and cranny of the world are the Igbos.
They have town union and ethnic union associations in every country and continent in the world.
It is just impossible to downplay their huge population.

content208:


Every other tribe in every other part of the world has town union and ethnic union. There is nothing special about having ethnic union in a foreign country

Help me ask them,as far as I know ijaw is not more than 4m

bigfrancis21:


This is why Nigerians fail SAT and GRE because they lack basic comprehension/reading skills.



Let me reiterate:
...a substantial number of Yorubas [say 10% of all Yorubas for example] have 50% Igbo blood to as high as 75% or 80% Igbo blood


...carries a different meaning from:

When I rushed and called for his help, Yorubas didn't know what was about to hit them.

I just unleashed the dragon on them and took my sit to enjoy proceedings from sidelines.

The thread is already a wrap.

Oh well, another rant about 1.6m. At this point you're making no meaningful contribution to this thread.

AhoadaRivers:


Mr yoruba, not every other tribe in every part of the world have town union. 2 or 3 yorubas visiting Indonesia or Cambodia at different times within a year cannot initiate a viable ethnic/town union.

I did my first PhD outside Nigeria and I am definitely far well travelled than you are. Take it or leave it.

Juliusmalema:
The list is logical and okay...

All are in order except Ijaws. Ijaws are not more than 3.65 million.

Base on this link, the report is centered on Dahomey and narrowed down to Aja people though it touched slave export from bight of Benin but according to the author, the stats are based on assumption and estimation hence lacks accuracy of the total figure of export of Yoruba slaved. The figure must be attached with ±40% error. That's a huge one. Gbam.


"A substantia error amount of ±40% must be attached to these figures because of the indirect method of their calculation"

How to Interpret the Margin of Error in Statistics for Dummies

bigfrancis21:


[s] Nothing new about this. In virtually all statistical sampling, there's always a margin of error given, which measures precise accuracy of the data estimated/calculated. Margin of error does not mean errors in statistical data.

40% margin of error? Simple. The Yoruba figure of 436,900 could be 40% less or 40% higher. Meaning that the actual figures could be anywhere between 40% less or 40% higher.

Mathematically speaking,
40% less = 0.60 * 436,900 = 262,140
40% higher = 1.40 * 436,900 = 611,660

Interpretation: the actual number of Yoruba exports may be as low as 262,140 or as high as 611,600. Anywhere in between.

In the same vein, the given Aja exports of 1.6m/1.8m could be as low as 0.96m/1.08m (40% less) to as high as 2.24m/2.52m (40% higher) from the Bight of Benin alone, exclusive of any exports from the Slave Coast.

In the end, it doesn't make any difference regardless of the margin of error used. Whatever percentage of error you pick between -40% to 40%, Aja and Yoruba numbers would adjust accordingly and the overwhelming numerical difference between both groups would remain the same.

TIvs are more populous than Ijaws even Kanuris.

Ijaws started inflating their figure during Jonathan tenure but it will never fly.


Ijaws are nothing less than 3.65 million..[/s]

No they open your mouth they talk about ijaw people you they hear? focus on your people. Once we reason your matter you will be the first to cry to the moderators.
meanwhile choke on this.

Juliusmalema:



nairaland mama thank ma children. Cry to moderators me.. lmao. probably you just jam the wrong person.

TIvs, Kanuris are by far more populated than Ijaws. Ijaws are no way more than 3.65 million



Ijaws never outnumbered TIvs let alone Kanuris even to this day
The Nonsense population inflation started during Jonathan but it still didn't fly.

It is a general knowledge that tivs are more in population than Ijaw...even kanuri

sesan85:
Typical IPOB monumental buffoon! Salvador da Bahia has the largest black population in Brazil, and the Yorubas are the biggest, predominant ethnic group taken to Bahia. There are Yorubas here in Lagos, Porto Novo and Ouidah who still have relatives in Brazil. The descendants of Rodolfo Manuel Martins de Andrade (Bamgbose Obitiko) are spread all over Brazil and Nigeria. Same thing with the Assuncao-Alakijas. Your own Igbo people are usually black too, IPOB nitwit!

ripmyheartout:


Bahia population is majority mulatto. And have a small white population 3 millions of whites and small minority groups. Asians and indigenous. Only in Salvador maybe have many "blacks" from yoruba ethnic groups. Brazil have many cities the media only shows Salvador. Nigerians generalize that Salvador is Bahia. Lol.

sesan85:
I don't know what you're on about or why you're lol-ing away though. The State of Bahia has the largest blacks (or people of African descent) in Brazil, most of whom are concentrated in the Capital, Salvador hence it's called Brazil's African city. And they're predominantly of Yoruba descent.

There are also Yoruba descendants in states like Pernambuco and Maranhao, but go off lol-ing away in ignorance though.

ripmyheartout:


I'm Brazilian and I born in Bahia State. My family have portuguese descent. Yes Bahia have a huge african descent population but Bahia have many white people and other ethnic groups who the media never shows. Indigenous, whites, asians, gypsies, mulattos. The huge african heritage of Bahia is more in Salvador not in all Bahia. Bahia is a state of 15 million people. The slogan of african city is like all slogans in Brazil for tourism. Like Penedo city in Rio de janeiro. "Finnish colony" of Brazil.

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

That's not Sierra Leone Wikipedia page.

There is note on any Aku in Sierra Leone Wikipedia page. Check it out :https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_Sierra_Leone


Meanwhile, Sierra Leone first president, was an Okoro.

Bendeco2020:
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?

Iamgrey5:
My man stop talking nonsense

Even when people were evacuated from South Africa recently, we saw a great deal of Yorubas coming home, who would have thought considering the numbers of igbos in South Africa

Yorubas don't often travel to other places in Nigeria as much as igbos often do, but when it comes to travelling out of this country, Yorubas would give anyone a run for their money.

Olodo can't even spell illiterates properly.

And You are the illiterate pulling dumb stats straight from your harse
