scholes0:This is different from the population of either Igbo or Yoruba but language spoken at home. If we go by above to use it to justify that yorubas are higher than the igbos, that means out of 462 thousand plus Nigerian in United States from the statistics, only 149 thousand that speaks yorubas are actually the population of yorubas in United States. How about other 300k population? Here, it is purely talking about language spoken at home and not the population of tribes per se. It is easier to see and recognize a Yoruba person in United States both in the common use of Yoruba and in their appearance but I observed Igbo born look more like typical African American in appearance and less likely likely to speak Igbo. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Aba made logic Where is the evidence that all Nigerians or even Americans or any other group TAKE PART in a census of that the figure of Nigerans cited officially is from census data Census enumeration is self report Total population is based on additional information such as documented migrants either with a green card , student or other visa. So whilst one may argue that the numbers do not represent everyone the reality is they never do in any census any where. There is no logical way to then interject the asinine argument that those not captured are Igbos who do not teach their children Igbo That can only make sense in an Eboe head 1 Like |

aribisala0: Don't mind them. In the absence of specific data we can use other available and relevant collated data to make informed and logical judgement. What no reasonable or intelligent person should do is to make unfounded conclusions based on personal opinion, baseless assumptions and 'dem say dem say' logic. Yorubas hardly do that but such seems a way of life for desperado Igbos who are always happy to revise history fraudulently , lie shamelessly and make wild claims. 7 Likes |

A questionnaire/form arrives in the post from the census authority to a household with dad, mum and 3 children. 1. Who completes the form , dad or mum or the children? 2. One of the questions is language(s) other than English spoken in the household What we are being asked to believe is that in Households with Yoruba parents the parent write Yoruba on the form but in Eboe households they write(none) Very funny Here some jokers are talking about fluency The reality is that ONE PERSON completes the form for EACH HOUSEHOLD So why would the heads or(completer of the form) in Eboe households underreport the language spoken in their households based on "fluency" as we are being asked to believe 1 Like 1 Share |

plaindealer: plain- idiot. The missionaries assembled a group of native Africans led by a man named Schoen to master the Igbo language after they discovered that it would be effective to do missionary work with Africans than Europeans. the group assembled, Simon Jonas & Christopher Taylors who spoke Igbo dialect called Isuoma, which was only spoken in Sierra Leone by ex-slaves. The Igbo in the Primer and that which Crowther was familiar with was a failure when they reach Igboland as the natives did not understand them, they didn't understand the natives, and natives cited they weren't Igbo speakers. The dialect was only spoken among former slaves of Igbo descent in S.leone and had been several adulterated over generations. http://www.columbia.edu/itc/mealac/pritchett/00fwp/igbo/igbohistory.html

SonOfEl: Youre very ignorant, which Seaport or Airport levies goes into Lagos state account? Is it not shared among all the states? Don't you have markets and private ventures in your states? Whose fault if you fail to raise revenue from them if they truly exist. Did you not claim you're all entrepreneurs and competitive? Why is it not showing in your state IGR the way it's seen in Lagos, SW and other developed societies? Another lie spotted. It's not SW fault you failed to create investment destination in your states. You can't be close minded and hostile to investors and salivate over the returns going to those who are investment friendly and welcoming. |

Ovamboland: You keep displaying this i-too-know attitude that eventually shames you. The money shared among states comes mainly from oil export, not from internally generated revenue. Lagos state government also collect levies from port and port-related activities. See this ignoramus trying to sound informed. Businesses run by igbos in lagos is due to the infrastructure already put in place during the lagos capital status era, so stop shouting. |
