You and I both know you are deceiving yourself.

There is a saying in Nigeria that 'anywhere there is no Ibo man, run away from there.'

I'm sure you have heard it severally but still fool yourself with your utopian..

You mean saying among yourselves to make yourself happy kikikikiki.

There is a saying that, na person wey get body they praise himself.

Your igbo land must be far more developed than that place that the only African there is Yoruba man o .

24SEVEN:
So in all, 2.3 million Yorubas indegenous outside Nigeria is the reason why Yoruba should be the largest ethnic group in Nigeria or what?


You still didn't get my point did you. I am telling you that an ethnic group being only native to Nigeria doesn't prevent the ethnic group from being largely populated.

Hausa can be spread round the whole countries in West Africa or even round the whole Africa it doesn't make it larger than Mandarin spoken in only China.

So having a larger spread doesn't automatically make it the most populated.

How may of you igbos are outside. Be bold enough to say it.

24SEVEN:
I find it difficult to wrap my head around comments like 'only found in Nigeria'. Nigeria for goodness sake is by far the most populated country on the continent.

Imagine saying an ethnic group isn't large because they are only found in India. or maybe only found in China.

Rivers State is approximately 7million people and is more populated than Togo which has 6.1million people.

What %tage of Togolese is Yoruba. i.e what fraction of 6.1million Togolese is Yoruba. maybe 20000 people is the reason we won't hear word.

Save your rant.

You shout Equatorial Guinea. Which has only 1.3milling in population. And you people are only 33,500 as it 2015.

To the bolded above, you are just ignorant fellow. You use maybe, which means you don't even know, despite internet

Well I can tell you that as at 2014, Yorubas in Togo are 304,000
In Ghana 469,000 as at 2017.
In Benin, yorubas are more than 1.7million

While in Ivory Coast, as at 2014, Yorubas are like 120,000.

Compare that your population in any other African countries. Don't let us go outside Africa yet.

Justiceleague1:
To hell with you, Hausa mallam.
You are doing a very good job pitching the yorubas against the Igbos,keep on trying.

But you must know that God hates people like you.


Mallam

Eyah, see God second in command. Seems it hurts you so bad that I am about to expose una lies once again.

AmuDimpka:
Funny enough there is no bastard in Igbo culture....there is no word for bastard in Igbo land or even prostitute! What we call prostitute is Ashawo which is borrowed from SW and Akwunakwuna which is also borrowed

You are right, just as there are no poor man in igbo land or there are not child that beat his father because of money for food

bigfrancis21:
The country recognizes Igbo as one of their languages. According to the 1994 census of EG (I know Wikipedia should not be used here, I also provided you a snapshot of the webpage where this data was pulled from), you could see that the Igbo were the 3rd largest group in EG. In Igboland, EG is called 'panya' and in the 20th century, thousands of Igbos relocated to EG in search of economic opportunities (similar to the Yoruba group that left Nigeria to settle in Togo many decades before) and they have long naturalized there.

Check the screenshot you posted and tell me how igbos are the third largest group in EG

bigfrancis21:
Equatorial Guinea. The language is officially recognized there.

In the spirit of Brazil and Cuba Yoruba-descended slaves, plenty Igbo descendants in Jamaica, Haiti, United States, Guyana, Belize etc.

Who recognizes igbo language in equatorial Guinea?

Justiceleague1:
He won and became what?
Is it not same way Awo was the best president Nigeria never had?!?

I wonder the size of your br....

With what do you do your thinking?!

Did your beloved Tofa won?

That is how you people will be claiming most travel, you are everywhere. Whereas, The only Africa man living in the coldest part of Russia is a Yoruba man. I will create a thread on that tomorrow.

Bembellaa:
so we should start going round snapping pictures of factory and the youths we employed before you Will stop crying abi?

Eyyah

Pray that the country divides.

Justiceleague1:
And you are proud to say this while calling others OSU,how perfect!!!

Still showing your dumbness. Are you up to 1% of Equatorial Guinea. Show us any palace of igbo there.

Barbilius:
Lmao. We're talk say people beg them for votes during election, yet the candidate they supported(Atiku) still lost ;DSo much for their votes. I remember that anambra guy was always posting and boasting of how they had collected more pvcs in their regions than SW bla bla bla, upon all, their candidate still lost, lmao. Bunch of noise makers.

Lol, you see them chest beating how they will stop Yorubas in 2023. I laugh.

Bendeco2020:
Population is not about land mass bro

kanuri, Jukun, gwari and some other minority tribes have large land mass than Igbo's... But as we all know, the Igbo's are far more populated than them.


Even Niger state or Borno state is bigger than Yoruba six states combined together...... does that implies that gwari or kanuri that owns those states has more population than Yoruba tribe?

Liar, you are just pained.

pazienza:
Whatever.
Still :https://www.nairaland.com/5875972/1952-nigeria-ethnicity-census-result

Cry me a river.

Lol, who crying here now . You are not even up to 1% in Guinea. Show me igbo palace in Equatorial Guinea

pazienza:
No Yoruba in Ghana, and Sierra Leone.

I give you Gambia, Togo and Benin Republic.

Iamgrey5:
There are only 33,000 Igbos in Equatorial Guinea whereas there are 2 million Yorubas in Benin and 300000 Yorubas in Togo

He is saying 33,000 is greater than 2.3 million.

That is their way na

pazienza:
Yoruba Muslims.

I dash you those ones.

So you succumbed after seeing fact

Oloun:
what about Equatorial Guinea?

They are very small there. Just 30 thousand.

awgumayor:
" Igbo is 34 million in population". Because you believed that igboland is only SE. Now that you know there are Igbos in SS can you accept the figure.

Oga, both in igbo land and other places. You people are not more than 34million. Fact does not lie.

Bendeco2020:
Why I hate to argue with an average Yoruba person is that they lack facts and don't argue with points.

They will be wrong and still very loud, vomiting only insults.


The only strength they have is insults.


One of them said that Fulani are more populous than Hausa and I was expecting one of their brothers to correct him but all supported the rubbish.


How can I continue to argue with this kind of people?

Keep quiet victim crier. They have been giving you fact and you are shouting insult. Who is insulting dunderhead like you.

Bendeco2020:
leave them.

The so called educated tribe (Yoruba)

They don't even know that Hausa's has more population than Fulani yet they claim to be educated. Disgracing their tribe here

Shut up, nobody is saying Hausa is not more than Fulani, what we are saying is the inflated population Mr dummy.

pazienza:
I don't know what you are on about.

See page on Krio here. Igbos are obviously there

Kikiki, I read the link you posted. You shut yourself. No where igbo was mentioned, but yorubas was mentioned.

AhoadaRivers:
Shut your dirty mouth, If we add the Igbo DNA carriers in the carribeans and south America. The Igbo population will dust yoruba population by million.

You want to pretend that most African Americans are not of Igbo heritage, you want us to fill this thread with pictures of AAs rediscovering their Ibo roots? Most Jamaicans are of Igbo descent, the Jonkunu yam festival in Jamaica and Carribeans stems from the Igbo culture, do yorubas celebrate yam festival?
The word 'Unu' in Jamaican patois and Carribean pidgin is an Igbo word derivative. The first black president of Haiti was a former slave of Igbo descent.

So if you yorubas want to go that lane, be our guest, as we all know that it if we factor in Igbo-descendant population in the Americas and Caribs and add it to the local population and in diaspora, 200 million will be a conservative figure for Igbo global population count.

Kikikiki, not only 200million, Na 200billion hehehe

AhoadaRivers:
Spread of language is not a yardstick for population. English is spoken in more than 80 countries by more than 3 billion people but the English are less than 55 million people. Kanuri is spoken in Cameroon, Niger, Chad and Nigeria but they are still a minority tribe.

Jukunland is bigger in geographical spread than the South East but the Jukuns remain a tiny minority.

In Nigeria, the Ibos are the most travelled people, they see the whole world as their space and move without hindrance to live and settle in strange lands. That bravery is what makes the Igbos more populous than the yoruba.

Argue as you may, the Ibos are dominant in their land and are the second most dominant after the indigenous population outside their regions within nigeria.

Outside Nigeria within Africa, the Ibos are found in large population in EVERY African country and outside Africa and are easily the most populous Nigerians found in other African countries. 2 in every 5 Africans in diaspora are Nigerians, 1 out of that two is usually an Igbo, the 1 other could come from any other 350 tribes within nigeria.

These are facts laid bare, not your Ewe Ironyin statistical jargon.

No one should take this one serious, he will only end up reduce someone IQ to his own level.

Mightyhaiz:
funny request..


Can u bring a reference to show actual populations of your group in your own very country Nigeria?


I encounter lots of Igbo traders in port novo ..far more than any other Nigerians there.. If u have ever visited benin,u can attest too

Answer him na, you dey fear?

[quote author= post=90066965]They enjoy deceiving themselves online, across Nigeria during election you see politicians going round begging for Igbo voters, from north, west and south, have you seen any governor in Southsouth, North and East soliciting for Yoruba voters outside Yoruba land .[/quote]Off point. Stop acting like agbaya.You get pikin na haba.What are they saying, what are you saying. Why did your election not carry Atiku in. Abi buhari beg you. Even Abiola won despite telling you to go to hell.

Salewa97:
What is the population of Igbo traders in Porto Novo?

Can you bring us a reference to show their actual population?

Abi o. He should tell us.

no

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Leone

Nothing like Okun in Sierra Leone. By the way, all colonial archives called Yoruba slaves in Sierra Leone "Aku" and not Okun, and they were always matched in number and influence by Igbo slaves in Sierra Leone as well.

Today descendants of Igbo and Yoruba slaves in Sierra had been assimilated as KRIOS. There no more Ibos or Aku as groups indigenous to Sierra Leone.

I see no Ana in Togo too.

Oga stop arguing blindly. Seria loane did not put the tribes there. Official language in Togo are French and Yoruba.
