For one Hushpuppy, there are five hundred drug barons from your erosion ravaged region in Asian prisons

90% of people arrested by the NDLEA this year are from your region.

Ogun state is literally the capital of human sacrifice in Nigeria

They erosion ravaged people claim Yorubas don’t travel but why would we leave a Lagos and travel to an Anambra?

It’s like an American relocating to the Gambia

We travel to Europe and the Americas while they travel to Lagos which is their London

The more daring ones among them ship drugs to Asia and they litter their jails
You've spoken very well and intelligent too!

Feel free to struggle with that fact to your doomed death

I really struggle to believe there are more Yorubas in the USA than Igbos.

I am suspecting maybe Yorubas just teach their kids their indigenous language more than Igbos.

There are more Yorubas in the UK than Igbo. I struggle to believe that is also the case in the USA.

You will be amazed if a census is conducted in Malaysia Singapore China India etc n Yoruba comes out doubling Igbo population again.

Seems you have no idea what irritant noise maker this pathetic lot from Ipobland constitute wherever they manage to go.

It makes no sense. Why should i go to places where my safety is not guaranteed while US dey there? Will you to go to Maiduguri over Yankee because you not lilly-lilvered? Even if you can throw jibe, do it constructively. Yorubas are more strategic than you. That's why you keep chasing yet you have more hypertension than them. You put yourself I trouble and develop high blood pressure.

Foolishness!

There is no way Yorubas can be more than Igbos in countries where Nigerians don't go in large numbers for studying or professional jobs, moooron! Apart from maybe Benin, Togo and CIV.

Double my ass! Just pull nonsense from your ass and vomit it.

You left your region and came to ours and you say we should go to your region, when you can’t even stay there yourself.
Who goes to a barren land?
Africans go Europe and americas, not the other way round. People go to places they consider safer and greener

Yorubas are doing very well, they are mostly in tech, IT, or in school working as professors or in , medicine, investment banking and consulting. Our Igbo brothers are mostly buy and sell, dem no dey go school like Yorubas, so countries like China favor them. Na there them dey destroy our GDP with importation.

If there are 10 Igbo Americans in a room, 4 will be able to speak igbo. I think that's why you see the difference

I am willing to wager that the majority of Nigerians in Asia are Igbos. By Asia, I mean East and South East Asia. In Japan, the majority of Nigerians are Igbos. The Nigerian Union in Japan is disproportionately dominated by Igbos. I want to believe China, Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan should not be different. That covers East Asia. South East Asia should not be different, I believe.

And if you, who I saw dreaming about raping a child's corpse in a comment area, are supposed to represent the benchmark of a sane and competent Nigerian guy, do you not think you are a demographic worth erasing?

I find it absurd that you fool yourselves into believing that characteristics like race and tribe are the problem when, everywhere you look, men are the perpertrators of rape, homicide, and pedophilia by a margin of over 90%. You are illnesses that pose a threat to the advancement of humanity, and society will continue to be in the gutter unless males are either reprogrammed or redistributed.

No wonder those countries are blocking their borders so Nigerians won't come there anymore.

The Yorubas are generally more law abiding which is why you don't get to hear their news so much.

There are more Indians in the US than Nigerians but most Indians are into legal jobs like IT medicine, engineering etc

Your struggle is based on what?
You are suspecting why?
You don't want to believe the reality in front of you
Why do you assume The respondents are not ADULT MIGRANTS
The census is self report
No one does a test to verify whether people can speak the languages

Let us assume It is second generation Nigerians as you do

It is down to a question like
WHAT LANGUAGE IS SPOKEN IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD

The proficiency is not tested it all comes down to what respondents say
So if your hypothesis that any other group is more but underepresented it is not about who teaches language to kids more but what responses people give. The kids mayk only be able to say Hello,Thank you

The responses are more likely to be linked to The baseline population than whether or not the kids actually speak those languages

If the figures are like that purely because Yorubas speak their language at home to their kids more than Igbos, then it is a huge achievement.
Purely because
Sounds like what you want to believe because of your churlish psychology

How do you know the numbers are based on kids and not people who emigrated from Nigeria as adults/adolescents.

There is no reason or basis to bring up.That PURELY BECAUSE argument other than bad belle
