id!ot when your brain cannot read to make sense, what I quoted was with a focus with Lagos, and my quote was with a focus in Lagos....but your anus runs through your mouth so you can't even reason well.....and over further stated that if checked all the votes gotten from the entire SW will be morw from Yorubas than igbos living in the SW. but from your ass leaking mind you believe only igbos in Lagos voted for obi in Lagos or the entire SW.....and your idiot sense still dey ask stupid question 🙄

Moooron, whether you focused or you discussed. The question is still relevant based on your claim.

Question: Was your approach an intelligent way to show, or does it prove, Yorubas voted massively for Peter Obi?

Now the moooron, despite data available, still claims "if checked all the votes gotten from the entire SW will be morw from Yorubas than igbos living in the SW". grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

When una dey do useless guy-guy for secondary school and una no take book seriously, una no know say it would affect you and your future. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

The Yoruba population in Nigeria will be around seventy million excluding some Afemmai, Nupe, Ebira and others who speak Yoruba as a second language and have been doing so for centuries abd excluding Itsekiri and Aniocha North. Igbo is a maximum of 35 million in SE and SS. Therefore the rate of travelling of both groups are the same in most countries but wrong population figures in Nigeria is the cause of the confusion. Any city on Earth where population census is not or can not be rigged will see the population of Nigerian Yoruba to be around double of the Igbo population

It was obviously Igbo-lokan and he seemed the cleanest candidate.

His IQ is not sufficient for the task though, considering Nigeria's dire economic situation. The man is very mediocre at best!

I know your previous moniker, so I wonder why you changed to this one.

That said, you supported Buhari in 2011, 2015 and 2019. Your darling Tinubu supported and campaigned for Buhari during the last eight years. So, how come you believe Tinubu would be better off or has this seemingly high IQ to steer Nigeria on the right path? Does your conscience not prick you considering your previous decisions? You claim to have a high IQ, so what did you see in Buhari?

I am genuinely curious.

There is no where that has been from 1921 the population of the Igbos has always been more than that of the Yorubas, the Yoruba only seem to have more people in the Uk, USA,Canada. In Europe, the Igbo and Edos collectively knock them out. Yoruba can’t be more than 40 million in Nigeria. Don’t let the population of Lagos deceive you. Yorubas don’t make up to 40% of the population of Lagos state.

Yoruba will be around eighty percent of the population of Lagos state. Other Yoruba cities have been depleted into Lagos over decades. Ibadan was more than three times of Lagos. Abeokuta, Ogbomoso, Ilesa, Ilorin were all much bigger than Lagos

They have not depleted, Lagos only grew significantly bigger as it should because of population concentration of population of divergent groups all over the country. Ibadan itself has increased considerably from the population she used to be, Ogbomosho has also increased from the population she used to be etc.

This was in 1964, the igbos alone were already over 11 of the population of Lagos, you would have sworn with your life in that year that the igbos were 0.5 of the population of Lagos in that year, thank God it is from an independent source. Tell me how humanly possible it is for Yorubas to be 80% of Lagos state in 2023 today

I don't have a previous moniker. But I did support Buhari in the elections because the leading PDP politicians were arrogant crooks, who were openly looting Nigeria dry.

What did I see in Buhari? Someone that is less corrupt than Jonathan and Atiku.

Tinubu is corrupt but a thinker who likes to achieve something. Peter Obi is just an average man, who likes to claim achievements he does not have.

No wonder you consider Tinubu to be a thinker while Oni is just average.

yorubas are not up to 40 percent of Lagos population but we are not ready for that discussion yet, if as at 1964, the Us army handbook already recorded that Igbos were about 11 percent of the population of Lagos state, guess what that would be today, there are chunks of other tribes that has made Lagos their permanent home and has reside in Lagos in huge numbers in recent years , Urhobos, Akwa-cross (efik, oron, Ibibio, annang) Hausa, Binis , Esans , and other northern groups
