I am serious. Are you not from Edo state? I have been to Edo. The poverty is stupendous. Right under the noise of the village headmaster that calls himself Oba. There are very few Edo people I cannot employ as a member of my staff.

I'm not Edo, sorry.

I'm iteskiri.

By the way, it is a big fat lie.

By all posutive indices, Edo marks amongst the highest in Nigeria.

Abagworo:
Nigerians are more 2 million in the US even though nobody can tell the percentage language distribution. Igbos should be more than Yorubas by ancestral origin but as usual most must have lost their language.

This Ijaw man be careful before we exposed your ogogoro tribe here. Many of the land Ijaw claim in Nigeria actually belongs to umu-Chineke (Igbos). We own you, and the day we come to collect you will know that blood is thicker than water. Even Asari knows this. That is why he is been trying to hijack the Biafran movement. The population of Ijaw is very small. Don't be deceive by GEJ presidency. We (Igbos) made him president by our political force and numbers.

Ijaws are larger than ibos in population.
Why can't ibos use their false population figure and swallow Nigeria already.

This is why nobody takes you seriously. The single biggest tribe in Nigeria is Igbo. Only when Hausa and Fulani are combined do they outnumber us. We are the biggest tribe. Ijaw is the most overrated tribe in Nigeria. I doubt your population is more than 5 million.

Bro don’t stress yourself too much. Come on clubhouse and gauge demographics.

That’s where you can easily deduce that the Yorubas far outnumber Igbos in well-to-do Western countries. Whether USA, Canada, UK, Ireland and etc.

There are lot of diasporan Nigerians on clubhouse which somehow are dominated by people in Western countries and that’s how you can gauge it by seeing how the Yorubas outnumber other tribes on that app. While this might not be a 100% way to reach conclusion, at least it give credence to our argument on this thread that the Yorubas are more than Igbos in either UK, USA, or Canada:

What I can concede is Yoruba people are more concentrated in these countries but Igbos are more dispersed in their migration because they are more into business and this dispersal suit them more.

Against what many people think, one is limited in the amount or wealth one can acquire living in major rich western countries because of bills... this might favour a section of Igbo people but others will rather go to Malaysia, Singapore, other west African countries where opportunities for business, less bills and more money is possible.

Migrations happen for different reasons.

in Italy, Edo people well outnumbers any other group. Edo people will soon outnumber Igbo people in Germany, if they have not already. Igbos in many European countries and migrating away to Asian countries because of opportunities for business.

jumobi1:
Interesting facts but I don’t think the number of Yorubas here is that much more than Igbos. It’s probably more but not as substantial as this data suggests.

I’ll say this. I’m in a WhatsApp group with my US based college friends. Five of us are Yoruba, three of us are Igbo and one is from Warri. Five of the Yorubas speak Yoruba. One of the Igbos speak Igbo and my friend from Warri doesn’t speak his language.

It’s also obvious that a lot of immigrants were Lagos residents. The percentage of Yoruba Lagos residents that speak their native language is higher when compared to other ethnicities. These realities matter.

Look at the Ghanaian number vs the number that speak their language. The percentage that speak their language is very high.

Furthermore there are actually millions of Nigerians in the US. A lot just don’t identify as Nigerians.

You're dull.

With all the evidence made available by the US census board, nah trash you still dey write.

PROUDIGBO:


Do yourself a favour and STFU!

Of course you're life only has meaning when you feel you're 'doing better than the okoros'!

The guy makes a legitimate point, but it wouldn't resonate with you because of your self-centred and anti-Igbo nature! Nigeria is a funny country where those who have ran things, for the most part since 1966, have domiciled the centres of political and economic gravity in the south-west (Lagos) and north (Kaduna, Abuja and Kano)! The south-east has been left with little or nothing, hence its youth find themselves having to emigrate out of the region to the south-west and north for opportunities! When they want to travel, they have to go to Lagos or Abuja for visa, whereas Yorubas can still stay in their region to process their visa application! You think these issues are irrelevant, but like i said, you would think that way as you feel it doesn't affect you!

Leave Abuja, Hausa-Fulani and middle-belt out of it...they are not as widely travelled as the Igbo and Yoruba, so there's no basis for the comparison! We all know this thread was opened so insecure peeps like you can self-service all over it as you measure dick with Igbos!

Also, as was pointed out, Ndigbo in diaspora (US and the UK) have a problem with teaching and speaking their native language to their offspring...though things are improving a bit in that regard. The Yoruba are much better at this....though not as good as say the Somali or Indians!

Take it easy bro

Why are you so pained

in Italy, Edo people well outnumbers any other group. Edo people will soon outnumber Igbo people in Germany, if they have not already. Igbos in many European countries and migrating away to Asian countries because of opportunities for business.

You are right that the Igbos are more in those Asian countries and I can attribute that to the fact that the Igbos first resort is sha to travel and leave Nigeria so his people can say he’s in Obodoyinbo so they are always more desperate to go to any country.

It’s not only in Asia countries, even in some African countries you will see them. An Igbo guy once wrote about this phenomenon of “My son is in abroad” mentality of the Igbo man on SaharaReporters. I will update the thread if I get that link.

However you are wrong when you said those Asian countries proffer more opportunities for businesses/individuals than western countries. That’s a big lie because most of the Nigerian diasporan remittance are usually from the Westeen countries.

Let’s even forget that a Nigerian professionals in corporate America earn so well in these western countries annually than what some business can earn someone in let’s say Thailand or Singapore. also non-white collar businesses thrive very well in USA too. Car shipping businesses, phone businesses, supermarkets, drop shipping, African groceries stores, African Mechanics, online retails, and etc to start with.

That is why you see that most Nigerians arrested for drug pushing crimes are always in those Asian countries because there isn’t that much opportunities there so guys resort to quick money.

Lastly to buttress my point, PWC did a report on diasporan remittance to Nigeria in association with the World bank and you can clearly see that Nigerians in Western countries have the largest remittance to the country. I can’t even find Asian diasporan on the top list.

lol, it is indeed genetic, I think they are cursed by this " we against the world " mentality, no matter how sound academically some of them can be, they still come up with silly and basic excuses to patch their inadequacies.

I think their gross inferiority complex is remotely caused by the loss of the war, it has embedded a huge victim mentality in their DNA no matter how successful they can be.

The way they exaggerate petty stuffs to massage their ego shows a group eager to dominate others but lacks depth and tact. personally I do not rate any of them both online and offline,.............a person with quick emotional outbursts should be avoided by all means

These are my observation trully about the tribe. Thanks for helping to put this traits into words.

I dislike tribalism or when people attribute negative traits to a tribe, but I became amazed that a large number of people can behave the same way and exhibit same traits.


1. For example, a whole tribe is claiming victim base on another tribe's right to vote their choiced candidate.
Must everybody follow your same steps. Don't you have many of your tribe men who voted for the same candidate? Don't we have many south west states where the ruling party loss the election? Must you dominate other tribe and control their choice?

Shouting of being maginalised and that Yoruba should not participate in the election, has the yoruba stopped you from nominating a worthy candidate from your tribe? Will anybody stop you from making your choice the during election?


And that Lagos is a no man's land; can the same be said about any SE state? Whereas, even our SS neighbours did not make such claim.

These are remittances made through official money transfer channels....

I will tell you for free, in most of these other countries, this is not what Igbos would use, except for emergency purposes or those who are just satisfied with their regular pay.

Again, even if you know the model of most Igbos, mere "remittances" is not the common model, rather exports for business, which comes back to them.

and the regular Money transfer model favours those who do regular jobs...

Although there are many Igbos in the corporate world or even regular jobs in the West but most prefer business and exportation.

If you see the high representation of Igbos in sports in America, like Basketball, American football, etc Even in science and technology over other Nigerian groups, you may think this figure is not accurate but this is a neutral study so you can't refute it.

What do you mean by traits? Have you asked "Why".

Do you know so many of them still have uncles, brothers, sisters, aunties who died as a result of the Western backed and funded Nigerian war against Biafra?

Do you know what many of them experienced after the war? Left with no money and starting from the scratch?

Yes, it was them against the whole nation.
So, maybe you should think hard about losing your loved ones, father and mother and having to start life alone with people against you.
Experience that and come and tell me how it feels.

Looking at all the pictures of dead uncles and aunties who I only see in pictures, I am usually astounded at how quickly forgiving Igbo people actually are.

The same genetic traits resulted to why the war was started in the first place and to why they lost the war.

Your this comment is just a good example of the traits we are talking about.

Not everybody use the regular remittance channel. I know of most guys that only send money through bitcoins and that won’t even be covered in the regular channels. Other people also do crimes and they send the proceeds through illegal means, so it will be ridiculous by citing those cases as an argument because it’s outside the norms.

Bro almost most of my guys that I know do car businesses. Sell cars to Naija and use other means to convert the money back and they are also employed in corporate businesses. Even with this Covid-19 work from home level, you will be seeing guys working multiple jobs from home and grossing $300k-$400k yearly. I mean ordinary boys with entry level year of experience. Western countries present better opportunities than any Asian countries you can think of.

I don’t know where most Igbo get this delusion that they are the only one doing businesses. It still beat logic and I can’t explain where that assertions come from. I think business to an Ibo man is buying cloth/spare parts. Any other thing besides that is not recognized as a business by an Ibo man. That’s where the problem is arising from.

I can give Igbo Football but you see that science and technology, Igbo don’t come close to the Yorubas in USA. I wouldn’t want to waste more time with this than I’ve done on this thread with rodokoye. I’ve shown my own evidences to back my claims, the only thing you guys have been using is word of mouth.
