You get time to be explaining to that blockhead.

Where do those yahoo guys overseas learnt to buy cars or goods and send to Nigeria, where someone will sell it and give them the money in an agreed formula from?

That is why most products that are being imported into Nigeria franchises have been bought by Nigerians(mostly Igbos), thereby making them move goods into Nigeria with ease instead of moving cash.

There is another way I would have mentioned here but it is somehow complicated, so I won't mention it.

Most Edo people are not commercial in nature i.e they no to dey do business like that, so they send the money back to Nigeria in its form, same with others.

You got the ethnic travel sequence wrong here. I'll give you some historical insights so that facts are NOT distorted.


When I first flew on board a Nigeria Airways Airbus A310 to the beautiful French-speaking city of Abidjan in 1987, I was stunned to realize that there were many big-time Yoruba business people doing all kinds of businesses in Cote D'Ivoire, and the Yorubas from recent official records are about 90% of the over 2.8 million Nigerians in that country.

The Yorubas who are over 50 million worldwide have been into long-distance trading since the time of the great Oyo Empire (which extended up to parts of Togo) and the trade with the great Ashanti Empire, and even as far as Mali. Yorubas from accurate historical data are heavy travelers and dominate the Nigerian Diaspora communities in the UK, USA, Cote D'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Sierra Leone, UAE, Turkey. I don't know about the Canada figures yet though.


NOTE: The U.S. Census Bureau in a recent data report indicated that out of the top-10 U.S. States where you find Nigerian-American and
Nigerian immigrant population centres, the Yoruba language was the most widely spoken language in households in 9 out of 10 U.S. States, except in California where Ibo language was more spoken in households, followed closely by
Yoruba and Edoid languages. After the Yoruba language, Ibo, then Edoid languages come next in that sequence in 9 out of 10 top U.S. States.

Recently, we have seen the rise of many Nigerian-Americans of
Yoruba ancestry occupy senior positions in the U.S. Government and politics, such as Wale Adeyemo who is the current U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary, and more.


So, this gives us an idea that the
U.S. Yoruba population is huge like in the UK, and if you head on to the
NL profile of => Scholes0 who created a thread on this U.S. Census Bureau report of 2019 on language distribution in the U.S., it tore to shreds the FALSE claims being propagated online and offline by some Ibos that they are the largest in the U.S. Caution has to be taken NOT to engage in spurious guess work until full facts are officially established!


In the Far East like China, Ibos seem to visit a lot more followed by Yoruba international businessmen and women, students, tourists. I do a lot of international business and leisure travels, so I know these facts.


Cheers.

scholes0:


The first thing any Nigerian immigrant in Canada notices is the sheer dominance of the Yoruba community above the rest....
lol... it isn't even a question there. I have been there and seen it myself.

I think a good reason why that is because Canada specializes in skilled immigration which streamlines the immigration pool a lot, not every tom dick and harry who wants to 'japa' can enter some of these countries just for the sake of it, you have to meet certain eligibility criteria..... Hence the Yorubas always emerge on top since they constitute a good chunk of the best brains in the country. It is the same story in places like Australia.

Konquest:

How's it going Scholes0?

Thanks for the deep insights on
Canada and the distribution of
Nigerians there. You are absolutely right about the Yoruba presence in Canada.


When I first wrote my views on this thread on the most traveled ethnicities from Nigeria, my mind flashed to the 2019 U.S. Census Bureau report, and the FACT that you had also created an awesome thread on the linguistic distribution in the U.S. with massive official evidence. This is the reason why
I inserted your moniker in the post so as to let the other guys see all the evidence on your thread, and desist from their silly confirmation bias! Lol.

Thanks for your input here.

All the best.

You are consoling yourself. Your stupidity is one of life's greatest mysteries.

Dreamer it is inferiority complex that is making you think that igbos are competing with you. Oga you no reach abeg.

totit:


I am not a dreamer a dreamer doesn't work with the fact as this thread is my attestation to that.

Now, can you quote me without crying and acting envious?

obynzo:


you are really a dreamer and a poltergeist. Me envious how? Is not that you are Paddy Adenuga or Uzoma Dozie, you are just in your self contain at Alapere talking thrash, and you say I am envious. .. you must be the biggest joker of the century.

Nicely put.

The Yorubas have always been great travelers and do not make a noise or brag about it. I stated this fact with historical data earlier on this thread yesterday, with info from the U.S. Census Bureau report indicating that in the top-10 U.S. States where Nigerians and Nigerian-Americans are found, in 9 out of 10 of those U.S. States, the Yoruba language is the most spoken in households, followed by Ibo, then Edoid languages. It is only in California that Ibo language came tops, followed by Yoruba, and Edoid languages.


It was the basketball successes of my OG, the legendary 2-time
NBA MVP, Hakeem "the Dream" Olajuwon of the Houston Rockets in the 1980s to the 1990s that made Houston, Texas a popular major destination of residence for Nigerian immigrants outside NY, California, etc.

These are historic facts. Period.

Ofodirinwa:
This makes a lot of sense

Mrnairalandd:



Thank you my brother for those undiluted facts! I can bet my life on it that if census of Nigerians in Cali should be taken all over again, Yorubas beat Igbos in that state hands down. Let me cite gyms as a case study, if you visit most popular gyms in Santa Clara, Alameda and others, trust me, 8 of 10 Nigerian members are Yorubas while the other two are either Igbo or other Nigerians. It’s the same story in UK, if you visit most gyms in London, Manchester, Birmingham and others, 90% of Nigerian members are Yorubas.

If you go to the local shops in USA and Europe, you ll hear the Asians shop owners saying “Je kin fi Jara si” which means “let me put extra for you”. That’s how much Yorubas population has significantly influenced those Asians.

Just before i go, let me state this fact about the igbos, if one igbo man begins to produce Laptops in commercial quantities in the East, guess what, the igbos ll scream about how they are technologically advanced than other Nigerians even though there are 10 x Yoruba owned companies in the West producing quality laptops in commercial quantities. If you call their attention to this fact, the igbos ll continue to tell the whole world about how they are the only one producing such product in Nigeria arrogantly. A typical case study is it Innoson motors. The Igbos make so much noise about it in the East while the Yoruba owned two to three of such company without making a noise. ProForce is one of Yoruba owned vehicle producing companies.

This attitude reared its ugly head in Nollywood few years back when the actors, investors and others were trying to build Actors/movies producers association umbrella that house all part of Nollywood. The Igbos in Nollywood wanted the history of movies production to start from when they(The Igbos) started arriving and producing movies such as Isakaba… But the likes of Kunle Afolayan told them that the Yorubas have been producing movies for years. The likes of Ogunde, his father- Ade love. This issue generated a lot of brouhaha in the industry, today, in the same country, they have different version of Nollywood. In sane society, the igbos would have respected what Kunle Afolayan said and incorporated that into their plan. And this would have put all of them under one umbrella.

The same misconception about Igbos being good at buying and selling, this is total bullshit. Let’s take a quick look at this fact, all the Oja-Obas(King markets) in Yoruba land and beyond are mostly occupied by the Yoruba women and few men. Out of 10 markets today in Oyo state or Ogun state, you ll only see few Igbos in one or two of those markets but 90% of the occupiers are the Yorubas. The same thing in the North, the Hausas re the 90% occupiers of their several markets. So where is this misconception-“Igbos know how to buy and sell” coming from?

Finally, the number of industrialists in Yorubaland is up there but if you listen to the Igbos, you ll think other Nigerians have nothing. However, if you look at the names of captains of industry in Nigeria, you ll realise that Igbos are years behind the Yorubas and the North.

Look at Cubana-Igbo for example, do you know SujiMoto-Yoruba might be able to buy that guy but you won’t know cos it’s not loud like Cubana. The same business Cubana is doing is the same Pele Quilox is doing but he is quiet…

Stay blessed.

Are you aware Lagos was the capital of Nigeria? Still the commercial capital of Nigeria?
Do you leave in free land in the south west? If you are in Lagos, you probably, own you land, built or bought your house, a Tennant or a squatter. The fact you are SW indegine does not confer on you any further right. Abi go to Zenith bank and ask for 50k chest high that you are from SW and the bank is on your land. Most you can do is form you own gang of agberos like the one that accosted my broken down truck last week asking for owo Ile. Driver called me. They asked for 30k. Spoke to their oga with respect and sent them 5k for hot drink. Na them help my driver start the moto sef. Lol
