plaindealer: Unless you are suggesting it now, I have only made a submission on numbers and per-capita representation in response to someone else's opinion that the reason Nigerians can no longer partake in the U.S Visa lottery program is because we are already overrepresented in the U.S 10 Likes |

LegendHero: Do yourself a favour and STFU! Of course you're life only has meaning when you feel you're 'doing better than the okoros'! The guy makes a legitimate point, but it wouldn't resonate with you because of your self-centred and anti-Igbo nature! Nigeria is a funny country where those who have ran things, for the most part since 1966, have domiciled the centres of political and economic gravity in the south-west (Lagos) and north (Kaduna, Abuja and Kano)! The south-east has been left with little or nothing, hence its youth find themselves having to emigrate out of the region to the south-west and north for opportunities! When they want to travel, they have to go to Lagos or Abuja for visa, whereas Yorubas can still stay in their region to process their visa application! You think these issues are irrelevant, but like i said, you would think that way as you feel it doesn't affect you! Leave Abuja, Hausa-Fulani and middle-belt out of it...they are not as widely travelled as the Igbo and Yoruba, so there's no basis for the comparison! We all know this thread was opened so insecure peeps like you can self-service all over it as you measure dick with Igbos! Also, as was pointed out, Ndigbo in diaspora (US and the UK) have a problem with teaching and speaking their native language to their offspring...though things are improving a bit in that regard. The Yoruba are much better at this....though not as good as say the Somali or Indians! 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Interesting facts but I don’t think the number of Yorubas here is that much more than Igbos. It’s probably more but not as substantial as this data suggests. I’ll say this. I’m in a WhatsApp group with my US based college friends. Five of us are Yoruba, three of us are Igbo and one is from Warri. Five of the Yorubas speak Yoruba. One of the Igbos speak Igbo and my friend from Warri doesn’t speak his language. It’s also obvious that a lot of immigrants were Lagos residents. The percentage of Yoruba Lagos residents that speak their native language is higher when compared to other ethnicities. These realities matter. Look at the Ghanaian number vs the number that speak their language. The percentage that speak their language is very high. Furthermore there are actually millions of Nigerians in the US. A lot just don’t identify as Nigerians. 4 Likes 1 Share |

oyatz: Bro how they relate with you when they know you is different from when they are actually online where they can exhibit their real character. While not all Igbos exhibit that traits, most of them have that mindset and even on clubhouse where people talk you can easily see that trend from them. We will have to tolerate them so long Nigeria remain. When Nigeria break up I know they will be over the guilt of losing the Biafran war and the psychological hold won’t gum them like this again. 20 Likes |

mancoconut: Dont shy away from your name boy Now you can tolerate a northerner......interesting You have such a soft spot for people you have accused of raping and killing your women...people you call terrorists.....whose religion you call religion of piss....and you are willing to tolerate such people just so you wont be seen as liking yorubas......anyway we yorubas know this already and thats why you see some of us who have seen through your lies and deceit know your current agitations is borne out of insincerity.....all your cries of marginalization are all lies, your dislike for this government is not really because of buhari but because of the prominent role yorubas have in this government....you just cant stomach the fact that yorubas are a part of government at the centre. Just so you know....the feelings is mutual 28 Likes |

scholes0: You are slightly wrong with your first paragraph. I was based in the UK. Yorubas are renowned for teaching their kids Yoruba. Igbos are known for not bothering. Their are hundreds of thousands of Yorubas that have never been to o Nigeria, yet they speak Yoruba. It is not even a competition. That is a plus for the Yorubas, but here is you all are, trying to belittle this Yoruba achievement. For every Igbo child that is being taught Igbo in the US, there are probably about 4 or 5 Yoruba youths learning Yoruba. If you all remember, there was a UN agency study that once placed Igbo language on the endangered language list some years ago. Yoruba was never placed on that same list, obviously because Yoruba parents were passing on the language to the younger generation. The only reason Igbo speakers in the US are even up to 90,000+, according to this US report, is because Igbos have a huge population, otherwise realistically speaking, the Igbo figure is even worse than the Edoid figure ratio-wise. 7 Likes |

More shameless but senseless comment as ecpect of every igbo.. I wonder if any Nigerian would have been able to sleep tonight if Igbos were topping this chart but instead of admitting the Yorubas you hate towers above your tribe you are here fighting who no fight you n chasing shadows. This clown demanded Abuja should be left alone cos it contradict his arguement, you Igbos should have shame abeg. If 20 embassy is built in Alaigbo it won't change that stat. You can argue Ghanian n even Ethiopians are also not well traveled like the Northerners na only igbo de travel allover the world. PROUDIGBO: 18 Likes 1 Share |
