I know about 6 Yorubas in the UK, all of them from different families, who have never been to Nigeria, yet they speak perfect Yoruba, and they don't know each other. Mind you, both parents of each of these people, are Yorubas.

I know about 3 Igbos brought up in Onitsha, who only speak English, because of their parent's foolishness. Their parents are surprisingly from Imo.

This is just a very minute sample, yet very revealing.

aribisala0:

It is "revealing" only to a biassed and illogical mind
What you know or claim t know is not evidence for anything . It is not logical to say that because everybody in your WhatsApp group voted for Ifeanyi Uba therefore he must win the election.

Is that rational?

I can come out and say I know blallabla

That is just my own experience and nothing more

99.99999 % of Eboes did not vote for Buhari. It still turned out to be 5% so coming us to tel us how the Presidential election will go based on how the dwellers of Umuakpu vote is illogical

OfoIgbo:


Now compare this my own experience with the fact that some years ago, a UN agency placed the Igbo language on their list of endangered languages. What this means is that my personal experience tallies with the UN agency's findings.

If Igbo speakers in the US are just 94,000, out of a possible 500,000 to 1 million Igbos in the US, then it still tallies with the UN agency's findings. I am sure if you search, you may find the UN agency that found this out. I can't be bothered to go looking for it.

So basically, your attempt at rubbishing my statements, have obviously met a brickwall in the face of superior logic

Philipponzaghi:
Chai, where did people now see the notion that the Igbos are the largest Nigerian ethnic groups in the USA and that the Yorubas are the largest in UK?

Like I always say, any sane thinking person living in USA will know the Yorubas are the largest West African Ethic group in the USA, they are clearly represented in universities, corporate America, African Restaurants, Self-Owned businesses and etc.

I am glad this data is straight from the USA government Census Bureau website, so this is an objective truth.

Another tales by moonlight.

I also know 1000 Igbos brought up in Manchester and they all speak perfect Igbo. I know 500 Yorubas brought up in Ogbomosho that couldn’t speak any Yoruba but only English.

My own is even just more minute a sample than yours, and yet very revealing.

If you doubt me, I will tell you how I personally know 2 trillion igbos in Amelika that speak perfect Igbo.

Then how come what you know does not tally with a UN agency finding, that clearly stipulates that Igbo language is endangered?

How come the same report did not state that Yoruba language is also endangered?

When you want to come up with points, come up with back-able points. Don't just do the same thing that NBS headed by your brother is doing. Pulling out figures from his ass.

Putindbutt:

If you ain't scared at the ease with which they manipulate figures, change narratives and lie with a straight face, i wonder who would. You read well to notice their pathetic manner at twisting facts from ethnic- based statistics.
On this thread, they've come up with narratives such as " ibo kids speak little or nothing at all, Ibos in Lagos speaks less of ibo, embassy proximity deprived ibos of traveling!. These are people who have over the years lie to themselves that they had the most ethnic population in the US but are being doll ragged in the face of a verifiable data.

DubaiLandLord1:
Why will I be hurt Dumbo? I doubt you live in the USA too, you're so dull to live in such an environment

The US census board release an information, yet a dull thing like you dey argue from his house in Abakaliki

You're presented with Stats, yet, you're still arguing... Dam!!

LLiKYekoba:



It's actually funny to hear a yoruba man accuse others about 'lying with straight face'.
Because whenever I hear that phrase, these names come to mind;
- lie mohammed
- femi adeshina.

I'm it's the same for many other nigerians.

Can someone remind me what tribe the above-mentioned guys belong?

adamsmith914:
Mr Man go & sit down, igbos are as much if not more than Yorubas in the United States, ever heard of the Igbo Landing of Georgia for a little example?

Obi1kenobi:
I'm not quite sure why this matters to anyone. It's interesting because to be honest, I've always assumed by perception that there were more Igbos in the US, while there are more Yorubas in the UK. But regardless, why does this even matter and what does anyone stand to gain by trying to disprove it?

Disingenuous and hypocritical rubbish especially coming from you

Look in a mirror and ask all those silly quetions

Obi1kenobi:


Explain. I often forget that when I come on Nairaland after long months away, that I have to shed my sanity to adopt the infantile ethos of its most committed keyboard warriors, so I'm not even sure what you're talking about here. Incidentally, I was not even thinking about you and your cohorts when I posted that and was thinking more about Igbos who feel impelled to dismiss and disprove the data when it doesn't conform to their assumptions. But everything for you is viewed through your primitive parochial mindset, so of course you felt like you were somehow under attack.

aribisala0:


For me names like


Chinua Achebe,
Emeka Ojukwu
Uche Ckukwumerije

come to mind

aribisala0:
Because that is in the DNA of the Eboe cohort here to seize every infantile opportunity to assuage their insecurities and some of us enjoy setting their delusions right

LLiKYekoba:


Those names are great names associated with honour. There is even a Chinua Achebe literary club in Kenya. His books have been translated in hundreds of languages all over the world like bible. Many departments and faculties of languages in US, UK mahadums make his books compulsory in their studies.

Horllamideh:

I have always known you are either from Ogun state or Oyo state cos both are not known for docility. I am from Oyo too, Ogbomoso to be precise.

You have been at the forefront bursting lies and other stereotypes against us, I no even dey see YungMilli my itsekiri boss again. Together with TAO19.

God bless you all.

This is report is talikng about languages spoken and not tribes , my family is in US and during the last census they registered but not as igbo speakers because my children born and raised in US cannot speak fluent igbo

Dsalvo:


Lol. What should I do then? Go to the nearest magistrate court to take count of names and ethnicity of Lawyers there?

Dude, do you understand the measures of central tendencies in statistics called mean, mode and median?

It is what educated people use to get a decent picture of a sample group. The sample group being Nigeria in this case.

I have utilised relevant measures of central tendencies, in different disciplines and fields, to prove my point.

You just keep blubbering and saying nothing. Go and enjoy your Saturday bro. You clearly have nothing informative to pass on.

Ewedu muslim mugu....When the same USA release data about Igbos being the most intelligent African group, the amala balls in your mouth will suddenly feel like stones and you'll suddenly develop acute tachycardia. I bet your cardiac markers and BP levels will be shooting over the roof. Enwe!
