How do mean influence? What makes Yoruba more influencial than the igbos. The igbos were the most sort after slaves and most expensive because of the hard work and fair complexion. The igbos were seen as superior race. www.nairaland.com/attachments/3606242_img20150921052004edit_jpeg1e50872f539456818f3b813301de20e3

Mind u, 60% of the Black's you see in america today originated from bight of biafra (through the port of calabar and bonny) which composed of the ijaws, efiks, Ibibio and majority igbos. What notable slave of Yoruba origin was more influential than Olaudah Equiano, who born his freedom, rallied round to work to abolishment of slavery. And he is the reason slave trade was abolished? Which Yoruba's slave was more notable than James Africanus B Horton, whose works was recommended to the British house of common for the establishment of self government?

What notable historical event, action or activities was taken by the Yoruba's slaves like the Igbo landing at St. Simons Island, Glynn County, Georgia.which today is a historical tourist site and has been used to teach about black history in america till this day.

What of Nat Turner, the rebel Igbo slave who fought against white oppression and his story has been adapted into a movie "Birth of a Nation".

What of the word Ebony? Do you know it was adopted from the word EBO as it was called then? ...op if you are new to nairaland. Just stay humble before u are disgraced out of here.

Another big lie from you, Yoruba's and Fulani's are not the largest ethnic group in African. I don't know which is the largest but I know the by 1920 populations census, igbos were not only almost double Yoruba's, they were 2/3 of southern Nigerian. (Check physical anthropology of southern Nigeria). www.nairaland.com/attachments/3606711_img20160415205559_jpeg6889d8ed59c6c554cfd840f11f842271

Again, another lie, Yoruba's are not older than igbos. Igbos are the oldest ethnic group, to inhabit nigeria. Don't worry, I will post all for you. You are a fake researcher, a bias one and you know nothing. Shame.

This is the same way you all deceived yourselves with most educated, most professors, most doctors, lawyers and engineers. Yet facts and documents keep showing that you guys are far behind the igbos. You guys cant make an objective research without being biased. What are u guys ashame of, why do you like lying to urselves

You have really exposed him. Ask him to attach a record where number of yoloba slaves were ever recorded to surpass that of the Igbo's & watch how he runs away.
Pls when making a rejoinder, Put it in the either in the politics section or culture section.

Op I will respond to this falsehood in another thread later. It is good to say good things about Yoruba but please, saying things that don't add up and worse listing them as number 2 on what basis? Where are the Ashanti's of Ghana.. Please make sure u are well researched on this topic cos, I will come and dismantle allbur lies. Later when I'm less busy. Stay tuned.

This thread is FALSEHOOD on another level. Ozibe you must do a rejoinder to this trash lest this scratch-face succeeds to rewrite history. The OP is nothing but a falsehood peddling individual trying so hard to change the widely known fact that Igbo slaves made up the largest percentage of slave export to North America during the Atlantic slave trade. It is all on net and in historical records. This same topic been discoursed in several threads here on Nairaland and in other fora with facts & records presented which attested to Igbo slave majority. I can sense clearly what is behind OPs decision on this attempt to rewrite history. The OP must have come across a research work or publication done by a student or coleague, as regards Atlantic slave trade which stated Igbos slaves as the major makeup of export to the North America. And out of jealousy as is norm with the Yorubas, he sought to create a topic on ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE so as to mislead unsuspecting researchers. You can sense this plot by how he CAREFULLY coined the topic (10 MOST INFLUENTIAL TRIBES DURING THE ATLANTIC TRADE). This makes it easy for further unsuspecting researchers to come across it and thereby swallow the misinformation laced therein. Somewhere along the line when his propaganda got bursted, he quickly called it MATERIAL FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE in attempt to make his conclusions look legit and authentic..Lols whereas it nothing more than an attempt at revising historical records. Every student of history knows that the Yorubas made up one of the smallest percentage of black slaves and records showed that it was only during the end of the slave trade era that people in the Yoruba region were captured and sold. But What he does not know is that no matter how much he tries, this falsehood will not stand. Please a counter is desired!!!
