Weird! Igbos use to be about x2 of Yorubas before but now Yoruba speakers are about x2 of Igbo speakers.

Probably because they move more to Yorubaland and get yoruabanized on daily basis.
Yoruba is now the biggest tribe in Nigeria sha.

Igbos annexed so many tribes in that figure. Did you see Urhobo and others on the list?

Urhobo, Ishan, Isoko, Itsekiri, Anioma, Calabars, Calabar? Are they camerounian tribes?

They counted those ones as Igbo

Many Igbos are so Yoruba you wouldn't know until they open up.

I know one who even translates for a Yoruba/English church sermon.

Nnamdi Azikiwe, akintola awolowo , Ahmadu Bello all agreed and worked with the colonialist, WAZOBIA sellouts.

All those people you mentioned did not create British Nigeria, they rather fought the British to take total control of Nigeria from the British

Wazobai only represent the 3 major languages spoken in Nigeria, can you mention any language that have more speaker than hausa Yoruba and Igbo? Edo language is minority
