Tarnish Igbo image?
More like protecting Igbo image from hateful beings like you out to tarnish it.

Move biko.

What a waste

AhoadaRivers:
Shut your dirty mouth, If we add the Igbo DNA carriers in the carribeans and south America. The Igbo population will dust yoruba population by million.

You want to pretend that most African Americans are not of Igbo heritage, you want us to fill this thread with pictures of AAs rediscovering their Ibo roots? Most Jamaicans are of Igbo descent, the Jonkunu yam festival in Jamaica and Carribeans stems from the Igbo culture, do yorubas celebrate yam festival?
The word 'Unu' in Jamaican patois and Carribean pidgin is an Igbo word derivative. The first black president of Haiti was a former slave of Igbo descent.

So if you yorubas want to go that lane, be our guest, as we all know that it if we factor in Igbo-descendant population in the Americas and Caribs and add it to the local population and in diaspora, 200 million will be a conservative figure for Igbo global population count.

Stop the obscene words and face reality. Most black Americans/African Americans are of Yoruba root.

The Wikipedia has genuine references to cure your ignorance .


Recent surveys of African Americans using a genetic testing service have found varied ancestries which show different tendencies by region and sex of ancestors. These studies found that on average, African Americans have 73.2-82.1% West African, 16.7%-24% European, and 0.8–1.2% Native Americangenetic ancestry, with large variation between individuals

Correspondingly, Montinaro et al. (2014) observed that around 50% of the overall ancestry of African Americans traces back to the Niger-Congo-speaking Yoruba of southwestern Nigeria and southern Benin, reflecting the centrality of this West African region in the Atlantic Slave Trade.

Benin here means dahomey or republic of Benin

what about Equatorial Guinea?

They are very small there. Just 30 thousand.

Iamgrey5:
I mean the likes of Asaba killings that was credited to Nigerian Army?

It happened.

But they were quickly replaced. We have many traditional laws that allow such quick replacements.
For example, women were usually allowed to be married by fellow women on behalf of the umunna, and the married woman would be impregnated by male members of the umunna on turn by turn basis.
Then she gives birth to lots of children who would be assumed to be children of the deceased male members of the umunna.

This is just only one of the methods we use. There are many more.

Yoruba Muslims.

I dash you those ones.

So you succumbed after seeing fact

AhoadaRivers:
Spread of language is not a yardstick for population. English is spoken in more than 80 countries by more than 3 billion people but the English are less than 55 million people. Kanuri is spoken in Cameroon, Niger, Chad and Nigeria but they are still a minority tribe.

Jukunland is bigger in geographical spread than the South East but the Jukuns remain a tiny minority.

In Nigeria, the Ibos are the most travelled people, they see the whole world as their space and move without hindrance to live and settle in strange lands. That bravery is what makes the Igbos more populous than the yoruba.

Argue as you may, the Ibos are dominant in their land and are the second most dominant after the indigenous population outside their regions within nigeria.

Outside Nigeria within Africa, the Ibos are found in large population in EVERY African country and outside Africa and are easily the most populous Nigerians found in other African countries. 2 in every 5 Africans in diaspora are Nigerians, 1 out of that two is usually an Igbo, the 1 other could come from any other 350 tribes within nigeria.

These are facts laid bare, not your Ewe Ironyin statistical jargon.

Noise is not population.

Igbo makes the most noise and so your chatter registers as a density but in real count you are not even second minority behind ethnic majorities in this country. .

Time after time election has proven it and market filters have proven it.

Apawicked:
the most populous in your ewedu statistics. Why were you not the most populous when this one was counted

lol

Are you in 1952?
Civil war

Iamgrey5:
There are only 33,000 Igbos in Equatorial Guinea whereas there are 2 million Yorubas in Benin and 300000 Yorubas in Togo

He is saying 33,000 is greater than 2.3 million.

That is their way na

Off point. Stop acting like agbaya.You get pikin na haba.What are they saying, what are you saying. Why did your election not carry Atiku in. Abi buhari beg you. Even Abiola won despite telling you to go to hell.

Lmao. We're talk say people beg them for votes during election, yet the candidate they supported(Atiku) still lost ;DSo much for their votes. I remember that anambra guy was always posting and boasting of how they had collected more pvcs in their regions than SW bla bla bla, upon all, their candidate still lost, lmao. Bunch of noise makers.

Bruv you have driven yourself into a corner

I thought you said not a Substantial number of Igbo adults were lost

Yorubas also practice Polygamy like Northerners especially amongst Muslims and have lots of children

So my questions still remains did Yoruba stop reproducing for igbos to catch up.?

Did you stop reproducing when we lost numbers to slave thread and still had more numbers than you?
What corner are you talking about?

We lost adults, but not in millions and they were quickly replaced.

If you want to test again. Add ethnicity to census figures and get a neutral body. Because obviously, we would not accept any Ewedu statistics from Yemi Oluwale.

Bendeco2020:
Population is not about land mass bro

kanuri, Jukun, gwari and some other minority tribes have large land mass than Igbo's... But as we all know, the Igbo's are far more populated than them.


Even Niger state or Borno state is bigger than Yoruba six states combined together...... does that implies that gwari or kanuri that owns those states has more population than Yoruba tribe?

Liar, you are just pained.

Which Yorubas led the revolution in Brazil?

Don't get it twisted.

Congo, Angola groups are the majority in Brazil and they came earlier at a time "deAfricanization" was common in Americas. So they lost they cultures and had to embrace the Yoruba culture of Yoruba slaves who were late comers at a point the deAfricanization policy had been relaxed.

That you see a black slave in Brazil bearing Yoruba name or practicing Yoruba culture, does not mean they were originally Yorubas.

Bight of Biafra included Igbos, Efik and Cameroon groups.
