Lame desperate Aba made logic
Everything you have to say makes plenty of sense inside the four corners of an Eboe head
What happens to the 208500 ? Let us assume there is a mystery more profound than Fermat's theorem

Your explanation is that number is Eboe children who were not taught Eboe by careless parents?


If you want to discuss statistics do so


Your assertion that Yoruba do a good or better job than Eboes in America in teaching their language is not deducible from the data. It is as best your opinion at worst a self consolatory EXPLANATION that has no basis and no place here. It is unfounded IPOB nonsense

There are innumerable explanations so why should we accept the one that you have chosen?

Why can't they be Efik+Igala+Ijaw+Tiv+Idoma+Ogoni etc Why can't they be Yoruba whose parents did not teach them Yoruba?

You assert

Yoruba can never be more than Igbos in America .

WHY NOT
Since you are pretending to be logical why not finish the job

Is there a clause in the US constitution to that effect?

Which countries are we allowed to be more ?

Certainly not Israel ? Your Homeland?
Yoruba have great affinity for their language while Eboes have affinity for Hebrew their ancestral language ??
I don't think the man you quoted has the mental capacity to decipher all these,they have just been programmed to shout 'igbos are superior' at intervals, even when statistics and facts are saying otherwise

You sure must have another meaning for the word " plain, truth " respectively.

You are just a waste of space dunno why you chose to quote me though. grin

I still maintain my stand. Until there's a general ethnic breakdown of all Nigerian ethnic groups in the US, we will then have a clearer picture of Nigerian ethnic population on the US.

What was accessed was mainly languages spoken and not ancestry.

Don't forget that some of the people who can fluently speak Yoruba might not be of Yoruba ancestry too. You guys should reason well as Yoruba language is well spoken than Igbo Language. Even here in Nigeria, we have millions of Igbos that are very fluent in Yoruba while the converse is negligible.

I'm just pointing out something obvious mbok.

Stop saying nonsense.

So someone that is not of Yoruba ancestry will claim the language spoken at home other than English is Yoruba?

So an Ibo boy that understand Yoruba will tell the census board that it was Yoruba that his family are speaking at home? Will his parent be also speaking to him in Yoruba at home? Shinedu, you are the most confused person I’ve ever seen on Nairaland.

Out of all the Ibos on this thread that have laying nonsense reasons here and there, you are the most ridiculous and confused such that even Ofoigbo will be ashamed of your claims.

Are you still in 2012 or 2021?

Oh ..so you now FINALLY realised and agree with me that demographics change from time to time?

Call your fellow Yoruba minions to some sense too. Dsalvo for instance

I thought nigerian population there would be more than one million.
But if you add illegal ones, it would be close to one million.

Most of american politicians are very stupid and unpatrotic.
Listen to their discussion. Its annoying.
Many of them are conspiracy theorists.

Voters should elect good people to lead them.

You keep fooling yourself around if you lack the understanding of what census is all about. It would be foolhardy for any ibo(adult or kid ) who is not fluent in his native language considers Yoruba as his second language.

Demographics change but not as dramatic in less than 8 years, considering controlled migration into the US. Nevertheless, the baseless screenshot from the slowpoke has been bursted to be data for residency registration.

You can maintain your stand till Mohammed returns . What difference does it make. It matters only in the FOUR CORNERS and FOUR WALLS of your head

So the answer is all those unaccounted for must be Eboes
You say "Some of the people who can fluently speak Yoruba might not be of Yoruba ancestry" Hmm

but that does not apply to Eboe speakers? Where was anyone's FLUENCY tested. People filled a form and SELF IDENTIFIED

Most of the Yoruba speaker are very likely to be from Onitsha

You're the one obfuscating issues and being asinine here. The data captures languages most spoken and not ancestry. Anybody can be fluent in either Yoruba/Igbo without necessarily being from both regions. I'm not dragging anything with you guys abeg. Just stating the obvious facts. Until a comprehensive data that captures the total number of Nigerian ethnic groups residing in America, then we can properly conclude. Now, it's tentative. Yoruba is not the most populous neither Igbos too.
Re: Check Out The Largest West African Ethnic Groups In The USA According To Census by aribisala0(m): 11:44am On Nov 16, 2021
The data has nothing to do with fluency
Fluency was not tested and no one was asked about fluency
