I know every state have passport offices, but If I am an Ondo or Delta man living in Benin, I would rather collect my passport right there than having to travel to my state of origin to do the same thing, which is the point of the argument. Majority of the Yorubas in Benin might be Blue collar workers, but so are the majority of people from everywhere else... including igbos, Hausas, Urhobos, name it..., I don't thin there is any Nigerian ethnic community whose local "hustling" community is made up of office working professional experts.
... I think we are dwelling more on the fringe of the argument than the actual substance.... which is that the demographic make up of those utilizing the passport offices in Ibadan and benin can not be compared like that. It would be very dissimilar. The comparison to Benin passport office would be Port Harcourt..... But between the two, Benin would have more local participation as a total percentage.

What I am trying to make different is this between the Igbo and the yoruba is this, the Igbo might come from his place to come and join his brother in a boutique in Benin, after a little while, the Brother settles him and he is ok and doing well for himself, he might decide tomorrow that he no longer want to stay in Nigeria, he would have the capacity to fund it full scale, you cannot compare that lifestyle to a bricklayer or a bike rider, that is why I argued that the population of travellers in Benin from Urhobo and even the yoruba stock is far less when compared to the igbo.

What is working for the Binis is the Unity, most of our brothers and sisters that left early and have found their footing tend to come back for their siblings strongly

Pascal9:
what is wrong with Yoruba and trickery, tell us the number of yorubas living in the USA and not number of people that speaks Yoruba because we all know that if yorubas are ten outside Yoruba land 9 must teach their children the language unlike the Igbos , Igbos are by far the largest ethnic Nigerians living in the USA

this is report from us census bureau, and not your typical osu ipob bureau of statistics
the only place igbo have more numbers than other tribes are Asian countries. and it is because of drug dealing that they do there. reason why they dominate Asian jails
but when it comes to 1st world western countries like USA, UK, Canada, igbos are a minute people in population there ..
stick to Asia countries, while we stick to 1st world countries

UGBE634, the Benin are very well travelled quite alright, I am not arguing that ... But you said most TRAVELLED in your first remark which I quoted.... and then buttressed it with passport office data where Edo is not even number 1.
Maybe if you had nuanced it a little further the air would have been clearer..... Maybe most travelled per capita or something like that.

Pascal9:
this guy is being clever by half, you should have told us the total number of yorubas living in us, and total number of Igbos in USA, the fact that must Igbos don't bother teaching their children the language doesn't mean yorubas are more in numbers than Igbos, the total number of yorubas in USA is less than 200000k, while Igbos are more than 2000000k.

where is your fact?
don't bring edited Wikipedia bullshit for me

stop making noise, tell us the total number of yorubas living in USA and not the number of people speaking their native tongue, even in Nigeria it is the Yoruba that speaks their native tongue more, Igbos are by miles the major ethnic group in USA do your research well and don't come here to show one sided report that emphasis on language

We might take lagos out, Edo would be number 2, I have brought to your understanding that 60% and Even more of the passport collected might have been from the Binis, that is something when compared In ratio to the yorubas

The actual number 2 is an almost exclusively Yoruba state.

It is an almost exclusively yoruba state with a huge city that is home to many immigrants now, especially the Igbos

my brother you should be polite, you nor know anything for Bini, there are two factions, the elite class and the commoners. The Elite class are a huge chunk too. You expect them to travel to Italy? I am talking about the Osulas, Obaseki's, Iyamu, Efionayi, Igbinedion, and so on. The numbers of Obaseki's in Us cannot be less than 500. And also my brother you nor know anything, many Binis tend to relocate from Italy when they've found their footing. Lastly very few Bini persons go to Italy by air, the stats are there my brother. Watch this video, where pedro said his Obaseki family is about a hundred thousand members. Time stamp 16:27-16:40. Pedro is the former md of DAAR communications,a phd holder, a former lecturer, the convener of midwest movement. So pedro is not a push aside

i nor even understand this guy self.. Oga I stay Benin from 2004 till 2017, and I still they go there time to time because I get family members for there wet son settle build house and business for the state, I be even get land for tipper garage(ikpoba hill) and Sapele rd before I sell them move.
I know Benin finish my guy..
benins they most travel go Italy though illegally, na Italy be the number one destination followed by other European countries like Germany, Greece, France, Belgium, etc..

Na the commoners you dae mingle with, na I dae ask you, you expect someone from the Oba's family, that is now so large now to go to Italy, abi you did not see the link I posted earlier where the Iyase said his Igbe family alone is over 20 in London let alone the entire Uk. Is it to go to that will be hard for families such as Adun, Akpata, Oloton, Osula, Oba's family, Obaseki and so on , or are you one of those that argue aimlessly or you did not understand my point initially. Or you want me to reel out the achievement of the Obaseki family for you to know that Us is a small ride for them or are you a small child

Na the same thing we dae talk, the ones wey get money still many, just that you nor get access to them. Should be up to maybe 35-40 percent of the population. Watch this video, where pedro said his Obaseki family is about a hundred thousand members. Time stamp 16:27-16:40. Pedro is the former md of DAAR communications,a phd holder, a former lecturer, the convener of midwest movement. So pedro is not a push aside.

scholes0:


compare that with population of:

Igbos ...Including Anioma
Urhobo
Itsekiri
Ijaw
Yoruba
Ebira
Hausa
Isoko .. Etc in Benin... and you will understand.

I will be analyzing base on how I meet them everyday.

Hausas are very sedentary and are usually restricted to primitive hustle that enables them to feed day after day. They cannot number above 70,000 here. They usually stay alone and in secluded quarters, they won't really matter here, their major settlement are new lagos street, hausas quarter in Ikpoba hill and Eyean, which would number tens of thousand each.


I have never met an Ebira my whole life, they seem to be much in the north, maybe because of their religious affiliation, they are not even indigenous to Edo state,they seem to have taken advantage of some villages in Edo north for farming, they usually don't come to Edo south.

Itsekiris are a minute minority, they cannot number above ten thousand here. They have a few villages with some unit of hundreds and a few thousands, in Ologbo and around Ologbo.

Isoko cannot be more than 5 thousand in Benin. they are not indigenous to Edo state at all, and they are minute minority. But Isokos I have met on the average tend to do better than their Urhobo brothers financially

Ijaws are not a tribe you see everyday in Benin city. They are Indigenous to Edo state and they are a minute minority here. Why you seem to hear their voices is because some of their villages like Gele Gele seem to be instrumental in linking Benin to the sea. A Bini village Obazuwa is close to an Ijaw village. The Bini village is far more numerous than Ikoro an Ijaw village. Their villages are largely riverine and they are not peopled. They cannot number beyond 15 thousand in total population here. And they are in Three wards in the over 80 wards in Edo south. They are a freaking minority here. On the average, even the Ijaw natives of Edo seem to migrate more to Warri than to Benin

Yes the Igbos are a substantial chunk here, They cannot number less than 120,000. Infact in my class in school, I had many Igbo classmate as friends

The yorubas are also fairly large with a population of about 80,000 thousand persons.

The Urhobos are a huge concentration too, they cannot be less than 90,000.The Urhobos are more numerous than Yorubas in Benin city, you will certainly get to see more Urhobos than Yorubas, I don't know why but that is it. The Urhoboss are Unarguably the second largest non-indigenous migrant to Benin city after the Igbos
They are not indigenous but they are huge migrant, and their occupation does not really allow them to travel as much. The only time we could argue some Urhobos travelled was when some Urhobos saved up money joined the rave of some Binis to travel out, then when the border was opened.

So it is about the percentage of people here and the kind of hustle they do that will matter
So aside the tribes you mentioned there, it is only the Igbo that would really matter in that analysis because of their occupation.

This is Ero family diaspora reunion, over 200 persons, just one family over the thousands of single homogeneous families in Benin. Make una dae talk wetin una know, Benin population in diaspora cannot be less than 1.2 million. I just pray maybe there is something like some database where every Benin worldwide can register their presence, then you will really know how much travel we've done

The American Community Survey (ACS) arm of the United States Census Bureau is the source for detailed population, linguistic, demographic and housing information about United States residents. Here are the statistical and graphical representations for various Nigerian/West African and African nationalities and ethnic populations by reported ancestries and languages in the U.S states.

According to the U.S Census Bureau 461,695 individuals reported Nigerian ancestry in 2019. The top 10 states with the largest number of Nigerians are in order:

Texas: 105,255

You can see there, that the state higher than Edo in the south west, are Oyo and lagos. Edo is third, and also we cannot bank on Oyo and lagos because there is large number of immigrants there,many of the people getting their passport in these state might not be Yoruba

"we cannot bank on Oyo and lagos because there is large number of immigrants there,many of the people getting their passport in these state might not be Yoruba" But there are no immigrants in Edo? All the people emigrating from Edo are Bini? No Deltans and Ibos and Yorubas and even Northerners?
