Fulaman we can't possibly believe a book written in 1921 by some colonialist who must have made numerous errors, is true in 2015 can we?


This is the result of the 1961 Census. The Yoruba and Hausa populations were neck to neck at the time.
Hausa population might have surged ahead between 1961 and now, but Yoruba would still very much solidly in 2nd place, knowing fully well that they have a higher birth rate compared to Igbos who at the time had a much less population, not to even talk of now.

Since you are Fulani, the fula number might also surprise you. I was personally pleasantly surprised, that we had that many beautiful Fulanis in Nigeria, as at 1963. If there were almost 5 million Fulas at the time, they are most probably around 15 million by now.... lets even assume 70% of them can't speak Fulfulde, that still leaves about 4.5 Million of them who can- which is definitely more than the 1.9 Million quoted in the OP's article.

Anyone interested in the full list can PM me, or quote me and demand for the rest.

...I agree with d figures in that table but u failed to use ur common sense to obtain d total no. Of igbos in Nigeria, u failed to understand that d population was obtained from d states of residence and not state of origin, yorubas including lagos, kwara nd kogi is abt 20m while igbo is abt 16m..if u minus d igbos in lagos. & ibadan alone 4rm dt yoruba population nd add it to 16m u knw wat it will result..then u now add igbos in Delta nd Rivers as kwara nd kogi was added to dt of yoruba...finally u will agree with me that igbos will be over 24m while Yorubas will be reduced to abt 17m..

You forgot the Yoruba's in sierra Leone and ivory coast. There is a Yoruba tribe in ivory coast that traced their root to onipopo, one of the sons of odua.
They speak some "lost" Yoruba language. E.g I have just finished eating=mo ti dun inu(I just made my stomach happy).
Some Brazilians and Cubans too speak "lost" Yoruba language.
lost here means ancient Yoruba language.

Someone said Yoruba moved to Ghana around 100 years ago. It's centuries before that.before that.lol

"The Ooni , who said that traditional rulers in West Africa
were getting in
touch with one another, stated that one of the rulers
from Accra ,
Ghana had written a
letter of proposed visit to Ile Ife ,
claiming that his ancestors hailed from Yorubaland."
The ooni was referring to the ewe people. The ewe speak some ancient Yoruba too.

These ones are different from the freed Brazilian slaves of Yoruba ancestry(the tabon) and Yoruba traders that settled in Ghana in the early 1800.

...my friend go and have sit...what is oduduwa or odua ..tells by moon light..2day odua is 4rm Saudi Arabia, 2morrow he is 4rm Egypt..

you answered/quoted me as if we are quarelling. Well i have no time argue but let me engage ur mind with this http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoruba_people and http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igbo_people U cn reply me when u read them

...which population census was that?...if u say there are more number of people in d SW than in the SE, I accept...if u say that more no. Of people speak Yoruba language than Igbo language I may accept..but never 4 ones deceive urself that Yorubas are more populous in Nigeria or in the World at large than igbo...igbos in lagos alone are up to a state..broda igbos are every where!!!!!!

...And so we should now do what?...I will 4give whoever that wrote this because I made d front page ...

The igbos are the one dat should have been deported. Most of them are involved in robbery.

you re a very foolish tribalist..lagos is no man's land..fashola himself should be deported to Ekiti state, because that is his state of origin..

...Nonsense imagine 9ice's gonga aso, dami duro and skelewu by davido in the list....where is rasky mono's rubba style, u need somebody by faze and if love is a crime by tu baba.
