RedboneSmith: Despite all what the OP explained as the reasons for the observed retaining Of Yoruba culture in the New world, your Igbo hating bitter soul could not allow you read and comprehend him. Your unquenchable need to always put the Igbo down as indicated by your implication that Yoruba culture is more advanced and impactful than the Igbos, made you make this post. Oh chi m! 2 Likes |

pazienza: Me? Put Igbo culture down? Hate Igbo culture? *scoffs* None of you have done as much for Igbos as I have. All y'all are are e-nationalists I hate ethnic-ego-massaging posts, especially when they come from people I consider my people. And whenever I see one, I am going to come in with cynic and tongue-in-cheek comments. That's what I do. The Igbo nation have bigger issues than who was taken to America more, or who invented the word 'oyibo'. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Despite being smaller, their cultural impact in the New Word is DOMINANT. Yorubas are the single most culturally influential ethnic group in the Black Diaspora. By contrast, the Igbo who were sold in much larger numbers are almost culturally invisible in the New World. This is a clear indicator of who among the two had a more advanced, impactful culture. wink Really? Can you explain in clear terms, the message you intended to pass with the faeces above, if not to denigrate the Igbo, by telling us that our culture is less impactful and less advanced to that of the Yorubas? 3 Likes |

RedboneSmith: You rile no one up but yourself. I have been on this forum since 2007, I have seen it all. I know your type well enough to be the least troubled by your own instability. You had the temerity to denigrate the Igbo race by assigning an inferior position to it, before Yoruba culture, and you think your Igbophobic forays will come unnoticed and unaddressed? You are dreamer. 4 Likes |

RedboneSmith: This is very true, Yorubas are the most popular ethnic group of Africans in the whole world. You've got to consider Nigeria is the most popular and influential Black/African nation and among Nigerians, again, Yorubas are the most popular. Sango is the world's most loved African deity and is worshiped in 42 nations on Earth. It can be said without a doubt that Oyo Empire is the future of Africa and this is the reason His Royal Majesty, Oba Adefunmi I, named the first Yoruba village in South Carolina, USA, "Oyotunji", which means, "Oyo Will Rise". Everyone knows that the next great civilization will begin in West Africa which is the richest land on Earth.

Probz: lmao...this is really funny so being an igbo man is about denying facts and filling the head with fantasies of some Igbo standpoint, no matter how far from the truth it might be.. I hope you know you are a bigot? The dude didn't say anything that isn't true. ...Yoruba really is the dominant black influence in the diaspora. . Acknowledging that doesn't make you a bad igbo man, what makes a bad igbo man is not contributing anything to the development of your people. ..so Mr. man you need to get your priorities straight 11 Likes 1 Share |

macof: I was always under the impression that Igbos are the single most well-travelled Nigerians and generally constitute the face of Nigeria save for in the UK, where Yoruba language and culture is admittedly x101 more influential. Shey you're aware that only in mainland Britain that Yorubas outnumber Igbos? Blow your useless and pathetic insults, abeg, but you can rest firmly assured that I'm no bigot. I'm just not here to see Yorubas blowing their Oduduwa propaganda in the exact same way that I can't get behind all these jobless IPOB idiots and their senseless Biafra agitation. Yorubas outnumber Igbos by a ratio of anywhere in the region of 1.5-3:1 and counting in every major UK city with a sizeable Nigerian populace and Yoruba's by far the most widely spoken and well-known language here. I'm aware it's the converse in the U.S. (esp. in Houston/Dallas) and most other nations in the world. That's all cool. I only have an issue with it comes to highly tribalistic and largely unexposed Nigerians who see their own tribe as superior going by their limited anecdotal 'experience.' Plenty of these people have never even stepped foot outside Lagos sef, but because a few of una have heard of Peckham/London you think you know what's going on in the diaspora (before you start, that's not necessarily aimed at una). At least get to grips with the basic facts and make a more informed view instead of posting ego-inflating messages on Nairaland and calling out Igbos for supposedly doing the same. Especially when una no get evidence and the other group does. 2 Likes |
