As our population increases mightily you will understand. In that link the Iyase of Benin talked about having 20 of his family members in London alone. Let alone the entire Uk or the population of the entire Binis in diaspora. Timestamp 20:50 to 21:02. The Iyase as a person is well read and a very sober man, lastly there was emphasis on london so he knew what he was saying clearly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCIBTmlI7hA 1 Like |

Philipponzaghi: They did not do a census of Igbos in different prisons all over US. They are more than the ones in Lagos. If they add that, it will be about 10 times the total number of Yorubas in US |

So igbos coming from a deadly civil war, scorched earth national policy, without any US embassy, international airports , international seaport has almost 100,000 people in the united states and those 100,000 has been classified as the most intelligent in the world, God must be in love with igbos . Bookmark this page, when the census is taking again, igbos would be tops of the US population. 1 Like |

scholes0:They are economic immigrants, they came to Benin to hustle, they are not majorly the ones travelling,the group that usually travels there are the Igbos, their total number can't be more than 200 thousand. Compare that with the Bini majority in the city. I don't want to assign occupations to the Urhobos,and the Hausas, that would be derogatory to their image but we know what they do here. Ebiras,Isoko, Ijaw,Itsekiris are not much here. You cannot also wish away the population of hausas in Ibadan too The population of Urhobo travellers in Benin is very minimal 2 Likes 1 Share |

UGBE634: Still, there is no way you can compare the demography of Benin and Ibadan. Benin is a major city in a demographically diverse state and an even more diverse region. The Bini are not the only ones who travel in Benin. The Esan and to an extent the Afenmai are heavy travellers too, even Yoruba. Do you know how many Yorubas use the Benin passport office? It is sorta like BEDC over there that controlls electricity supply to eastern Yorubaland like Ondo and Ekiti. Unless you don't want to make that distinction... And these are all ethnicities that have a heavy population in Benin. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Philipponzaghi:this guy is being clever by half, you should have told us the total number of yorubas living in us, and total number of Igbos in USA, the fact that must Igbos don't bother teaching their children the language doesn't mean yorubas are more in numbers than Igbos, the total number of yorubas in USA is less than 200000k, while Igbos are more than 2000000k. |
Re: Check Out The Largest West African Ethnic Groups In The USA According To Census by UGBE634: 9:59pm On Dec 12, 2022 |
scholes0:Afemai and Esan are considered Edos by me. Afenmai would rather travel to the north than to europe, they have a large chunk in Kano and Kaduna. The heavy travellers in Edo state are Binis, Esan travel too but you cannot compare the ratio to the Binis, Esan population in Asaba, sapele and Agbor might be more than their population in Europe , and even at that Esan still dae learn where Bini dae. My brother I am telling you without fear or favour, not to denigrate your tribe, most of the yorubas we have in Benin at least a chunk of the Population are into Menial jobs, The Igbos are the most numerous non-indigenes and their population as I have stated before cannot be more than 200 thousand, the yorubas are smaller than that, so when you are talking about heavy population, I want to know the percentage. If we are to be talking about travellers out of Edo state that is not indigenous , we will be talking about Igbos. Lastly there are passport offices in each of these yoruba states as we saw in that report, a yoruba man would not have to come down from Ekiti or Ondo to collect his passport in Benin. The scenario of Bedc is a different scenario 2 Likes 1 Share |

Philipponzaghi:what is wrong with Yoruba and trickery, tell us the number of yorubas living in the USA and not number of people that speaks Yoruba because we all know that if yorubas are ten outside Yoruba land 9 must teach their children the language unlike the Igbos , Igbos are by far the largest ethnic Nigerians living in the USA |

UGBE634: I know every state have passport offices, but If I am an Ondo or Delta man living in Benin, I would rather collect my passport right there than having to travel to my state of origin to do the same thing, which is the point of the argument. Majority of the Yorubas in Benin might be Blue collar workers, but so are the majority of people from everywhere else... including igbos, Hausas, Urhobos, name it..., I don't think there is any Nigerian ethnic community whose local "hustling" community is majorly made up of office working professional experts. ... I think we are dwelling more on the fringe of the argument than the actual substance.... which is that the demographic make up of those utilizing the passport offices in Ibadan and benin can not be compared like that. It would be very dissimilar. The comparison to Benin passport office would be Port Harcourt..... But between the two, Benin would have more local participation as a total percentage. 1 Like 1 Share |
