Ogbeni I've observed that your posts are always inundated with baseless verbosities, braggadocious assertions, and emotionally-induced rants, almost feels like you're about to burst a nerve or two and have brain aneurysms grin... fara ba le, if you're so sure that Yorubas have achieved more than the Igbos at all levels and benchmarks of human accomplishments... then break down your facts on the basis of metrics so we can preen your facts and figures accordingly. No be to say write lengthy trash with big words to project some alpha image of intellectual superiority when in truth you're reel out the very symptoms of an insecure under-achiever who is trying SO HARD to come off as resoundingly smart. Personally when it comes to quantifying achievements, you have to be very statistical, empirical in presenting your facts, and analytical in your overview of all those facts presented... It's not as simple as naming few notable Yoruba global heavyweights in their respective fields of expertise, and then predicating the premise of your own narcissistic conclusions without recourse to a broad and unbiased objective debate... once again you're RANTING from a place of emotions and not facts, which makes you equally as guilty for the wrongs and maladies you accuse the Igbos of.

Now let's break down these human achievements on a comparative analysis of "ethnic superiority" between both ethnic groups (Igbos vs Yorubas) since you guys are so bent on feeding your egos with your jaundiced definitions and "I better pass you syndrome", can you list all the indices and metrics where you are so sure Yorubas have surpassed the Igbos?

Education? Bring your facts (stats)

Sports/entertainment/Art? Bring your facts and argue your stance intelligently

Global icons?

Diplomats?

Historical legends?

Technological advances?

Note that I'm breaking it all down to sample sizes so it can make your arguments easier, that's how intelligent people reason... no be to dey shout upandan and writing in power-points.

Lol. You're a joker. Are you lot not the braggart and insecure supremacists needing to validate the empty noise you make 24/7 ?

Why should I prove anything to you rather than the other way round?

You bring your "facts", if you indeed have them, and let us validate them exhaustively here and now.

I have been doing facts and providing verified statistics from when I first posted on this thread. Over to you Igbos now.

You are minding the n1tw1t? Simple challenge to validate their"Igbos are superior" claims turns into a tedious episode of shameless evasive tactics, counter challenges and excuses.

Still have not come across a single Igbo on this thread ready to show us definitve statistics, comparative realities and estsblished facts to uphold their arguments.

All they can provide is market women gossip and dem say, dem say excuses. Next they will say they are more intelligent than others. Jokers.

Kuti was an activist, teacher, political campaigner, and founder of the Nigerian Women's Union. She was a total badass who went all out to fight for women's rights including something as basic as driving.

She is the first woman to drive a car in the entire country. Apart from being one of the prominent leaders of her generation, she is also the mother of Afrobeat musician and political activist Fela Kuti.

Dude,

I'm not the one overdosing myself on some delirious opium of ethnic superiority like you insecure beta males on here do, I don't tow that line of pettiness cause I don't care about the achievements of other people (I respect and acknowledge them), but I care only about making a name for myself while I'm still here on mother earth.

I've lived long enough around the diaspora especially in the USA to know that majority of the Nigerians who make groundbreaking achievements with global recognition and distinctions in various fields or human endeavor are predominantly of either Igbo, Yoruba, or Edo stock when it comes down to their ethnic demography... I've seen many Yorubas graduate with honors from prestigious Ivy league and HBCU colleges across the USA just as much as Igbos, it's too close in terms of how these two tribes break records to even designate one more superior than the other. Even in the same USA, majority of the top College drafts into the NBA and NFL who make the list based on their scholarly accomplishments are once again mostly Igbos, Yorubas and to some extent tribes from the Edoid groups (but Igbos have the slight edge here when it comes to producing top sportsmen and women in the US right from high school to College levels).

I could go on and on, in Combat sports Yorubas are doing well by producing the likes of Israel Adesanya and Anthony Joshua, but a quick fact-check will also show you that Igbos haven't fared any less as well, Dick Tiger an Igbo man was the Dick Tiger was the first Nigerian-born professional boxer who held the World Middleweight and World Light Heavyweight Championships, then we have the likes of Lawrence Okolie doing very well as well as the undefeated WBO cruiserweight title holder etc... Most of the best writers in Nigeria both male and females are mostly Igbos and Yorubas... I could go on and on but there's so many metrics to break down.

There are so many indices where Igbos and Yorubas are doing well, now if you still want to go with the whole superiority complex to buttress your fragile ego, then wine, but the burden of proof is now on you to substantially make your arguments in effect on the basis of STATISTICAL ANALYSIS, and not some jagbanjantis emotional tantrums.

Okay I am. What statistics and facts have you and your fellow Igbos "released" ? What assertions have you attempted to back up here? You all seem to be waiting for Yorubas to talk/lead and then you attempt to counter.

Do you not understand that those who control the narrative own the game? Why are you letting me get away with "horrible" statistics and facts when you can disgrace me with your own pristine and superior submissions if indeed such exist?

Your behaviour here reeks of inferiority complex. You are waiting for Yorubas to lead with info you can then react to, and attempt to discredit, instead of trying to control the narrative with your own factual and superior statistics and facts.

The equivalent of trying to play counter-attacking football against, position for position, a superior team of eleven soccer ballers you are scared of and know you have no chance of defeating taking the game to them.

Any neutral observer, who is not Igbo or Yoruba, can note Yorubas are leading the way while you Igbos, you especially, are just acting like ignorant, insecure and unintelligent losers on this thread.

You want to take someone on, then you bring it. In a fight, who sits around waiting for blows to the face other than cowards and mentally conquered weaklings? Throw your own blows too and knock the other guy out first if sure of yourself. Losers.

Your crude, crass, sexist, and ignorant Misogynistic opinion is irrelevant.

We are talking about powerful women with groundbreaking, life-changing accomplishments and this one is talking about novel writers?

Are you even normal at all?
Perhaps I misread you I thought you mentioned fela kuti in that chapter ( pardon me)

There were two Nigerian females nominated for the Nobel laureate this year, u can guess.

She means nothing to me, she's nothing but a crook who supervised looting and corruption when she was the finance minister in Nigeria.

She bankrupt the Nigerian economy

She declared austerity measures and she was borrowing hundreds of billions every month to pay workers' salaries until her last day in office.

She means nothing to me, as a public official in Nigeria, she was a total failure.

It is fantastic that you Mr "I am god" get to decide that your Igbo languages or yoruba languages are "stand alone" language whereas Edoid languages are just groupments of similar languages, was there an Igbo precolonial country ? was there a yoruba empire ?
Is there a bight of Igbo or a bight of yoruba ?
You people and tribalism... don't transport this rubbish to the usa unless you want to tell them where to find Igbo bronze or yoruba bronze.
It is just strange when the illiterate can stand somewhere and say with confidence how he is smarter than the professor.

scholes0:
Of the various African languages spoken in U.S Households, only a handful were statistically significant enough to obtain discrete codes and statistical representation. Of the West African languages represented, some such as Yoruba, Igbo and Wolof are stand alone languages, while others such as Edoid, Gbe and Manding languages are linguistic groupings of similar languages. The following are the 10 largest West African languages spoken in America. The big 3 are:

Yoruba - 149,358
Akan Languages (Incl. Twi) - 141,583
Igbo - 94,788

The other 7 represented languages are:

Manding Languages - 30,381
Wolof - 26,255
Fulah - 18,563
Kabuverdianu - 18,451
Gbe Languages - 17,212
Edoid Languages - 16,699
Ga - 10,542
