Tales of two people. The first is an undergraduate still been fed and housed by his parents and has no knowledge of greater society. I think if not for covid-19 and their labour issues in Nigeria. He should be in class room to put usefulness to his life. So I hardly notice you let alone quoting you


The second (àdded) can be over looked and issues sorted on mainstream but is totally Illogical with all his proofs. He is always right and doesn't make mistake because he is right. It is not lost on me that this was the same person I corrected on a link pertaining to channels website.
All in all, he still proves himself to be way below average by always using screenshot and whack argument as evidence...Who does that...

Until your argument shifts to broad scale, you will continue to rotate with same IQ.

You mean their regular Wikipedia page and questionable screen shots that were defeated with simple logic.

One even said igbos are third largest ethnic group in Equatorial Guinea not knowing that the first largest two tribes in EG are 97% of the population.

Out of the 1.2 million people in Equatorial Guinea, igbos are only 33,000, now compare that to Yorubas in Nigeria, Benin republic and Togo who actually share borders.

Sammy07:


You know, they believe been visible trade equals to to having large population.

They once make one stupid Claim that, they were up to 1 million in SW aside Lagos.
I just laugh.

Even Yorubas are present in Ghana and Gambia.

Iamgrey5:
Ghana, Sierra Leone, Ivory coast and Gambia.

We are the third most widely spread Tribe in Africa outside Fulani and Hausa.

Raydos:
The total number of Yoruba in Brazil is 80million, which means there are more Yoruba living in Brazil than Nigeria sef!

The number of Yoruba living in Brazil alone is more than all Igbos both home and abroad!!


I haven't even mentioned Benin republic, Cuba, Liberia, Togo and some other African countries oooo!

Iamgrey5:
Please stop mentioning with your salty tears comments

Go and recite your Prose to another Nairalander who cares, preferably an Ipob member

MetaPhysical:


Is fulani indigeneous to Nigeria or not?

Gwaris speak Hausa. Kuje speak Hausa. Are they Hausa people? Are you talking about Hausa speakers, or Hausa people?

Juliusmalema:



Ijaws are not more than 3.65 million. The inflation of their figure started during Gej period.

Ijaws are not more than TIvs and Kanuris....both tribes are larger then Ijaw...

But if the number is for them to get independence, then they are free to go...on such basis..#fully supported.

Aside that the population is not up to 4m...It is over listed.

Sammy07:


Sorry brother offpoint, I told the guy make we no go offpoint, I don't like going offpoint in any discussion.

Going offpoint, will make us derailed the thread which will not be good for us.
Sorry, bro offpoint, I'll make sure never to go offpoint again.

Thanks.

Igbo influence lingers in more subtle ways, especially linguistically, down to the Pidgin English (imported from the Caribbean) that we speak in Nigeria! Una (from Igbo 'unu'), 'dey' (from Igbo 'di' i.e Chi di/God dey), tee (from Igbo 'tee' ie o teela/e don tee) etc all come from Igbo language. The Jamaicans still say 'unu', not even 'una'! Igbo 'unu (una, wuna, uno, unnu, wunu) is used virtually across all English-based patois in the whole world, from Nigerian PE, Sierra Leone PE, Ghanaian PE, in Belize patois, Jamaica, Guyana etc. You name it.

An Island here in the US is called 'Ebos landing' and up until the 1980s, some African Americans still bore 'Ebo' as their surname! Due to the high concentration of Igbo slaves in the state of Virginia, US, VA was nickamed, 'new eboeland' and in this regard did the state, not Igbos, decide to build an Igbo village in Staunton VA in recognition of the past heavy Igbo presence.

Yoruba Ifa which originally was practiced by Yoruba slaves was embraced by descendants from other tribes (even till this day) as a way of connecting to Mama Africa/their African heritage and has transformed into a religion for afro-descended blacks but it does not mean that all adherents are Yorubas or have Yoruba ancestry. A substantial number aren't Yorubas by blood and their DNA admixture test will prove this. Brazilian and Cuban blacks are a good mix of Congolese, Angolese and European genes. Some Igbo as well. Roman Catholicism originated from Rome and spread worldwide to have hundreds of millions of adherents. A good number of Igbos today are Roman Catholics but they are not Romans. Also, in Judaism, you could be a Jew either by religious conversion or by having Jewish (esp maternal) ancestry. However, only those of true Jewish genetic ancestry are regarded as Jews.

When many afro-descendants start to investigate into their African ancestry, they often encounter Yoruba Ifa first but I've seen many of them join and leave the religion, especially after DNA testing indicates non-Yoruba origins. I belong to several Afro-descended DNA testing groups on Facebook and an overwhelming number of results come up with Igbo DNA (some as high as 70% Igbo) and Yoruba comes up once in a while (again, confirming the number breakdown posted previously). Do not confuse all Ifa adherents in Brazil and Cuba as Yorubas, because, genetically, they are not. A good number have Congolese and Angolan DNA in them.

It is very easy to make emotional-based claims but DNA testing results have consistently shown a different story.

In SW Nigeria today, due to the high rate of inter-tribal marriages, a substantial number of Yorubas have 50% Igbo blood to as high as 75% or 80% Igbo blood (those with Igbo mothers and Igbo paternal grandparents), despite being 'Yoruba by name'. Yoruba by name, Igbo by DNA.

You are shamelessly lying

Is Mandarin a tribe in China?

Is China's Landmass not as large if not larger than West Africa?

Is Igbos overwhelmingly more than Yorubas even within Nigeria in the last couple of census? So how is your China analogy going to fit in since Igbos are not overwhelmingly larger than Yorubas in Nigeria and Yorubas can be found in large numbers else where and igbos are only found in Nigeria?

Not forgetting to mention a War in which igbos claim they lost three million people.

[s]Oga, Mandarin has 920Million native speakers. These are people who speak Mandarin as their first language. It is a Chinese language of the Han People. stop forming like you're an expert in Chinese language and culture. You have never been to China in your life. Your information is from Google, just like everyone else.


I maintain my stand that an ethnic group or tribe being spread across countries doesn't automatically translate to the largest in Numbers. It happens most times but not all times, else Hausa language, Spanish language and French language speakers that are spread across many countries would have been Larger than Mandarin speakers.

Is China larger than South America that is almost entirely Spanish speakers?

So Yoruba cannot use that as a claim against anything.

I'm done with you[/s].

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?

AmuDimpka:


Funny enough there is no bastard in Igbo culture....there is no word for bastard in Igbo land or even prostitute! What we call prostitute is Ashawo which is borrowed from SW and Akwunakwuna which is also borrowed

Don't mind those Afonjas. As if yoruba land is big. Niger state alone is bigger than the whole of yorubaland combined and Igbos are far more populated than them in that state.

Benevento:

well you have a point.

nonetheless, the 2006 census says Yorubas are more, same with Inec voters registration, NCC subscribers statistics.


This report is a complete garbage not because it didn't favour Yorubas(population is not an achievement), everything is wrong from Hausas being over 70m to fulani 35m ijaw 15 and placing Igbo above Yoruba.

AhoadaRivers:


Igbo is found in large numbers all over the world mr yoruba man.

There is no country in the world where you don't find an Igbo man. We all know this.
Stop pushing it, propaganda days on your newspaper are over.

Easternsun2020:


Do you know how many Igbos are outside the shores of Nigeria?

AhoadaRivers:


You and I both know you are deceiving yourself.

There is a saying in Nigeria that 'anywhere there is no Ibo man, run away from there.'

I'm sure you have heard it severally but still fool yourself with your utopianz5 deceit..

sesan85:
Lol, so you're questioning Ijaw own, but you're questioning the dubious one claiming Igbos have more population than Yorubas? Hypocrite!

Iamgrey5:
So Yorubas didn't lost numbers to slave trade?

DontBullshitMe:
LOSE!!

Iamgrey5:
Lose or lost

What big difference does it make?

Anyways thank you.

Juliusmalema:



4 million is even way too high.

TIvs are even more populous than them.
