Legendhero their are more Igbo in USA than anyother Nigerian tribe, make ur research very well, or else you're talking about ppl that most widely speak their language, then Yoruba's lead in this category

You can ask ppl of their experience or go into finding yourself

So an Ibo born in USA will fill English or Yoruba when asked about other languages spoken or ancestry?

Instead of you worrying about your poor SE, the poorest region in Nigeria, you are lamenting over me talking about the world's largest single train refinery in the world right here in the SW.

Nna, your priorities are so screwed up.

I hope you sat at home today sha, dem ipob terrorists don't take it lightly when you don't sit at home, they've killed many igbo people so be very careful...



grin grin


IGR in SW will soon explode as the refinery starts next year, the usual suspects will claim they are responsible for the increased IGR

To explain better, China is the most populous country in the world with over 1.4 billion people but Chinese official language (Mandarin) isn't the most spoken in the world. English is. Why? Because of British aggressive colonisation that helped English spread to the nook and cranny of the world. It's rather surprising that English native speakers aren't even 1/3 of Chinese native speakers.


Are you saying Yoruba colonized ibos so much that a large section of ibos speak yoruba ?
And what data indicates that 200k other Nigerian groups not classed as Ibo, Yoruba or Edo are mainly ibos beyond your feeling?

Yes you did but later obfuscated me with the above.

Language spoken and ancestry, how? Not in all cases please. I can speak Ibibio and some Yoruba but I'm Igbo. Speaking a language doesn't define one's ancestry.

So if a form ask for local language spoken, you'll full Yoruba or Ibibio?

You're the one obfuscating issues and being asinine here. The data captures languages most spoken and not ancestry. Anybody can be fluent in either Yoruba/Igbo without necessarily being from both regions. I'm not dragging anything with you guys abeg. Just stating the obvious facts. Until a comprehensive data that captures the total number of Nigerian ethnic groups residing in America, then we can properly conclude. Now, it's tentative. Yoruba is not the most populous neither Igbos too.

Still hiding behind one finger

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.

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.

Why was Equaino not leading this effort to teach ibo reading, and left the work to Ajayi?
Now imagine how long before this has Ajayi translated English to Yoruba and many were already reading it and had copies.

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.


Those levies Lagos state is collecting has no name and value?
