See what matters now. Hausa and Igbo controlled government conducted the census in 1963. So, it stands. grin

1921, 1931 and 1951 census can't stand because sample and estimation were used and there was 12% undercounting (cheating). Moreover, they all included the population of North and South Cameroon. Was Yorubas in Benin, Togo, Gambia, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire counted? Nay. It can't stand. EOD


Take am. cheesy
Lol!

Whatever floats your boat.

Yorubas are only found in Benin republic.

That is despite the fact that the census in 1963 was conducted by an anti Yoruba government to a large extent.

I believe alot of Smaller tribes in the North were grouped as Hausa or Fulani in the first census
Lol! There was regional control on the process. Thats how you inflated your figures in the West, and was caught with your hands on the cookie jar. angry

1963 was annulled for a good reason. It was the year of Yoruba Ewedu Yemi Oluwale magic numbers grin

2006 had no ethnicity attached, Igbos are all over Nigeria and I don't see how own figures in SE in 2006 despite MASSOB boycott order was too bad.

1952 was never accepted because it was largely based on Estimations

1963 was actually the first head count in Nigerian history

2006 revealed the truth that igbos were always over estimating their own population grin

Nas and his dad have no confirmed Yoruba ancestry. His father picked up the Yoruba name, Olu Dara, in recognition of his African roots. It is not confirmed yet if they are of Yoruba ancestry or not.

GODPUNISHALABI:
how can you claim this two group of people are related in any mannerhuh Is there something inside that amala that you guys eat?
They are actually. I met a Brazilian at an American bank once, he was a manager there. He came to have a chat with me when he heard my name and mind you, he does not look African at all. The only African feature he had was curly hair, he came to ask me where I was from, I told him Nigeria, then he asked if I was Yoruba, and all of a sudden started speaking Yoruba to me, I was in shock! I asked him if he had been to Nigeria and he said he handn’t but his family retained the Yoruba language as part of their heritage, he told me how much he loves the culture and that he would like to visit Lagos in the near future, I told him he should. This Brazilian man named Enrique identifies as a Yoruba man by culture.

Sometimes, I feel like you Igbos like to be dense on purpose, in hopes that it will make you win an argument but, we are too smart for you people, we won’t relent and we will keep bombarding you all with facts!

Below is a picture of Sade Adu, is she igbo?
