You forgot Austin Change from Benue that's contesting for Governorship in Michigan under the platform of Republican.

@bold. The Yorubas are far much more in the US and UK than other Nigerian tribes because opportunities abound, but are not much in the SE because there are not much opportunities in the SE like there are in their own SW domain. This is why Yorubas do not troop to SE as much.

If there are professional opportunities anywhere, you can rest, assured that Yorubas would be the majority in such climes!

TheRealestGuy:


We all know how voters in Igbo dominated areas in Lagos were harrassed and beaten up for daring to exercise their franchise.

Who says other tribes can't contest in the east?

Have we seen any such incidents like the one I referred to above in the east?

Abeg carry yourself out of my mention, you that probably haven't ever left Lagos and Ibadan you're here telling me about how the Easterners are.

piper7:

Can you allow us to contest in Enugu Or IMO?

Sure, you are free to. It's an open contest if you have the wherewithal and what it takes to win.

Chiedu4Trump:




No Northerner one this list,
never any notherner apart from Fulani Herdsmen & Boko Haram

Just one nyanmiri and eight Yoruba's ..the only time igbos dominate any list is criminals awaiting firing squad.
Useless things!

Lol... did you say low density of Yorubas in any part of the country? That is absolutely wrong. Let me deviate a little, do you know the population of Yorubas in the North and in South South ? Go to Rivers State for example Yorubas have so many communities over there places like Aluu, Ogbogoro, Omagwa, Eliozu etc. In the North apart from the natives and Ibos the Yorubas are next in population.
In Imo State for example go to places like Uruatta, world bank, in Imo State Yorubas are populated there. Enugu is not an exception...I can go on and on , you can also carry out your own research.
So if it is the population we have it but you won't be allowed to contest as ordinary councillor talkless of a bigger post and they tell you to your face that you are not from here.
That fact that the Oba of Lagos said his own openly doesn't mean Your own kings don't., they do! But that was very wrong of him.
No where in Ibo land will they allow you to contest if you are not a native. I have people who have tried it..even if we don't have the population the person contesting might be popular within the area so what stops him from contesting? It is up to them to vote him or not.
I will tell you a lot about Ibos, I lived for years with them, I speak Ibo and my wife is Ibo!

Are u from Ogbomoso. I heard they are travel a lot.

Can you compare any of those population you're talking about to say the population of Igbos in Festac/Amuwo?

That's my whole point.

And please it's Igbo not Ibo.

Cheers.

Yes I know there are not much professional opportunities asides from Rivers, Abuja and Lagos.

What of educational?

What of business?

If you're objective you'll agree that the average Yoruba man of this generation is not too willing to leave their comfort zone.

Even the US and UK you mentioned were mostly the older generation that mostly moved there for education and settled there.

It's a complex matter and there's a lot of factors I can't explain here due to time constraints.
