Funny thing was how Ajayi Crowther was sold by fulani ex-slaves after being abducted by same Fulani jihadists.

Crowther and his mother were sold about three times on Yoruba soil before being bought by a yoruba Moslem slaver and sold off separately to Jewish slave traders in Badagary.

In Nigeria, over 50 million people are indigenous Hausas and there over 15 million non-indigenous Hausa speakers.

Currently, it is the second most spoken language in Africa after Arabic and about 70 million are indigenous speakers.

I don't know what you guys want to achieve by spreading fake lies.

Yes O! The fact have always been out there but some people will still dispute or try to manipulate it.

RevDesm0ndJuju:



Nobody is disputing Yoruba population in diaspora it is how they ended up there.

NGpatriot:



How they ended up there doesn't change the OP's assertions and last I checked, non blacks/Africans speak Yoruba and practice Yoruba culture.
