Ethnic affiliation is different from Linguistic affiliation. Yes, Yoruba is more spoken in US, UK and Canada bcoz most Yorubas especially elderly ones speak it as their first language and are generally chatty, noisy and loquacious. Igbo people are now awakening in terms of speaking their language and identifying with the language. Where I served at Sokoto during our Nysc days, we thought Yorubas were the most numerous Nysc corp members until we were given a breakdown of State of Origin of all NYSC members in my stream. Out of 2100 NYSC members, 991were from Southeast, the southwest had 657, the North and South South had the rest. But in almost all the Lodges, even in my own lodge where there are 12 Igbos and 8 yorubas, you would be thinking that all of us were ethnically YORUBAs bcoz Yorubas there are chatty, loquacious, noisy and talkative. 3 Likes 1 Share |

demmie1: That is of less relevance. South Africans have more airports that have flights to many developed country and they can go to many visa free. Yet, there are not as many South Africans as there are Nigerians in these developed countries. South Africans can freely use the embassies to get to Europe; Nigerians are using Mediterranean Sea to get to same places. So where the embassy and airport is located is less relevant than where the need for hustle and greener pasture is more prominent. 1 Like |

Gamesmart: Yorubas are more corporate, hence the reason why they are more officially inclined. But by outright population, Igbos are more in number both documented and undocumented. |

ShangTsung000: I would argue, and I am extremely confident, it is the Igbos who have more of the inferiority complex. Hence, the need to boast a lot. Hence, the frequent attacks on other tribes in their boasts. With particular unwarranted attacks on Yorubas as they see them as the tribe who can definitely ensure they can never claim the superior and most achieving tribe they want to claim. And they also would die for Lagos to be in the SE or, at worst, not in Yoruba or Hausa area; then they would feel happier and more confident to boast superiority. Majority of the attack of Yorubas on Igbos is more of a backlash of Igbo behaviours, not inferiority complex. 9 Likes |
