Guy Igbo not on the same level with Yoruba in Caribbean or South America. Not even close by any stretch of the Imagination. I have been to most of these countries you are listing. i am talking from experience. Yoruba culture is the single most influential African culture BY FAR in the Carribean and South America. In fact, there is a religion simply called YORUBA or Santeria that spans Brazil, Columbia all the way to Cuba and the Dominican Republic. It is based on IFA and the Yoruba gods (Sango, Yemoja, Ogun etc.). Amadioha is not recognized, my guy. Don't argue with me on this. You will embarrass yourself big time. I have receipts. Back away now that you still can. In this aspect of life, Igbos have no standing whatsoever.
Guy, don't even respond to that man. If not for Nigeria, Igbos would be as irrelevant as the other thousands of tribes in Africa. It's only because of the population of Nigeria that their over inflated ego continues to get air. Had they been in Cameroon by the whim of Lord Luggard, no one would even know of the Igbos.

They don't have any kingdoms or historical culture or art to account for. Realistically they don't even amount to the Zulus of South Africa, or Akan of Ghana. Let alone the Yorubas. There's a reason why Yorubas are currently: Chairman of the African Development Bank, Deputy Treasurer of the United States of America, the most tech startups in Nigeria, the most tech startups in U.S. of Africans in U.S. (Calendly, Cancer IQ, Mekakon, etc.), Managing Director of one of the largest Private Equity firms in the UK that bought Gatwick Airport, the most Nigerian billionaires, the first African Nobel Prize Winner, the first region to implement a television station in all of tropical Africa, etc. Not to mention the culture of our IFA divination systems permeating south american culture, our Gods not only being adopted in South America but even by U.S. blacks as well, etc.

I don't even mean to be disrespectful, it's just a statement of FACT, the Igbos don't rank anywhere near the Yorubas on an international stage. The Akan are a more worthy tribe in terms of competition and accomplishments than the Igbo.

Animals like you dont deserve to have access to the Internet.
Let me assume the guy you are abusing is Yoluba and that you are into the usual, anonymous online stewpidity that is prevalent on Nairaland but the way you go about it, calling a whole race of people this and that, shows that you are not properly raised at all!
How much hatred swirls within your soul and how much damage are you doing to your soul?
I think it will be futile, to admonish you and expect you to show some decorum on a public forum, it is likely not part of your upbringing. undecided

I am sure the British official who committed thi signoble act, when reading what ignorant dunderheads like you have turned it into (Abuse one another), will be having a great laugh and saying "Did l not tell you that those people are just sub-par humans"?

When they call you a Monkey, try to prove them wrong by your conduct, that you are a full-fledged Humanbeing, like any one else.

@Yorubas/Igbos: You can promote your Tribe, without insulting other tribes, that is what l want everybody to understand.
It is not a competition.

Typical sophis.ticated mor.on.

A tribe that made all your dirty villages habitable.
A tribe which their lifestyle(Apprenhentice etc) is being studied in top institutions of the world.
I don't time for silly people.

Always making mouth, either you like it or not, Igbos are greater than you folks.

Left for Igbos, you could have been a full time slave to Fulanis.
Whatever makes you release cum. If not for Awolowo the number would have been 6 million decaying flatin0 bodies, while all your leaders have fled abroad when shit hits the fan, and your spineless governors bending in fear to the threat at their doorstep.....while Yoruba's were building empires and fighting wars your sorry ass tribe with no history were running around the forest like apes. 5% irrelevant piece of shit feeling funky..... you'd continue to beg for a biafra while fulani army uses your kinsmen for target practice and Yoruba fvckboys fvck your women into submission. Know your place, omo Igbo...when tribes are talking you stupid lots who can't even stand the Ijaws shouldn't be speaking.

It still does not change the fact that "Yoruba" as a phrase, cannot be Trademarked by anyone, if you know what that entails to the people/Nation or Race themselves. undecided

Imagine if someone in Pakistan trademarked "Biafra" and tell you that you cannot use that name, except with his permission? shocked huh grin
No, the company is pure white. I was surprise too, if the company is registered then you can't use it.

Go back to Primary school, your problem is not Igbo but lack of proper education.
With the free education Awolowo gave you people, you still don't know how to construct simple sentences and type words correctly.

this is an average ewedu goblins dream to get married to an Igbo woman, at least they are high chances she's gonna help you in clearing out the ugly genes hovering around your family known to deform children from birth that is why your region has the has a prevalence of ugly and stunted growth in children in southern Nigeria.

why won't your Alaafin of Oyo go for an Igbo knowing fully well is near death and none of his afonja wives are yet to give him beautiful kids, just imagine his condition at that age sitting on the throne only for ugly sad face looking kids playing around him mehn man mus have lived a sad life, kudos to him for living long and I pray Chioma erases that evil genes of ugliness out of his lineage.

Yoruba people are going through a lot.

- Kwara State was taken from them by Fulanis.
- Abiola was murdered by Fulanis.
- Their farmers are routinely slaughtered by Fulanis.
- More of their lands are being taken by Fulanis.
- Many Yorubas are refugees today in Benin Republic because of Fulanis.
- Their name and identity was sold in 2015 and luckily recovered recently.
- And yet again, in the next election, they'll help elect or rig another Fulani into office!

I disagree with the bolded.

Hausa seems to be the most widely spoken language in Africa, that is after Afrikaans, not Yoruba. Although Yoruba is spoken in about two more west African countries including Benin Republic. It is also a strong language in Brazil where the yorubas and yoruba culture is a significant part of the Brazilians.

I however agree with the rest of your submissions.
It's actually
Swahili then Hausa then Yoruba

Afrikaans is not in top 10

Shut the fvck up please and stop this empty rant.

I don't type things that are not backed up with facts.

Yoruba culture is the single blah blah blah.

Aside from Brazil, you have no sizeable presence compared to Igbos in any other countries in Southern or Northern America.

Support your assertions with official documents or facts, don't come and be using your usual "nigbati nigbati" brain here.

Even in Canada, the numbers of Igbos there is higher than that of other Nigerians ethnic groups combined.
I don't want to go to other continents, that one na finishing for you.

Igbos are way ahead of you folks in all spheres/faces of life.

Henceforth, I will only respond to your mention if it includes facts/official figures.

LOL, Nairaland is a faceless forum where some people thinks they are better or more traveled than others.
Where are your "facts" sir cheesy
