Gamesmart: You should also know that Igbos are more enlightened than the Yorubas. We develop our areas and theirs too. They should also learn to appreciate too. |

Grand children and great grand children of the former slaves carried to America by then American slave traders. Today's Republic of Brazil and Cuba have very large Yorùbá grand and great grand children of Yorubas slaves to the extent Yorùbá language has become official language 😀 in Brazil and Cuba Today. 1 Like |

Nnewison: True. Yorubas definitely speak their language at home to their kids more than Igbos. In Ireland's 2011 census: 10,093 people spoke Yoruba at home, making it the most widely spoken African language in the country, while 3,875 spoke Igbo. In UK's 2011 census: 14,914 people spoke Yoruba as a main language, while 7,946 spoke Igbo. Now in America: 207,052 people speak Yoruba at home, while 117,118 spoke Igbo. With Igbos at roughly half the population of Yoruba home speakers, I refuse to believe Igbos are only half the population of Yorubas in these countries. They just probably don't pass on their language to their kids as well as Yorubas do. And we also know Igbos are more likely to have and use English names than Yorubas. This is the benefit of Yoruba pride in their history and culture. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Gamesmart:Listening to Old Ebenezer Obey,Sunny Ade,Sikiru Ayinde and of recently K1 de Ultimate songs then you will agree that Yorubas are many in the States,no need arguing it. I visited Igbomina Yoruba village in Kwara state but to my surprised checking the village archives,their sons and daughters have been traveling to United States and UK since 1940s for education. 11 Likes 1 Share |

mikeapollo: Possibly. Igbos are well-educated too, but I think Yorubas take it more seriously as their own tribal role models for success and wealth are mostly based on "Good education"; while Igbo own tribal role models for success and wealth are mostly based on "Trade/Small Business start-up". 3 Likes |

ShangTsung000:In a more serious note, Igbo are the father of bigotry and that's the truth 2023 election is a case study. Tinubu lost in some SW state and funniest part,Lagos State while Obi cleared all SE States with average of 85-90% , think am if that's not tribalism enough. 7 Likes |

seunny4lif: I wouldn't be surprised. Germany has not been historically seen as a 'furthering your education' destination or for professional careers by Nigerians, it has mostly be seen as a place for buying cars and selling in Nigeria.

Ofodirinwa: They rarely leave Naija o. That's where quota system favours them. Check well, you'll find out that the Fulani speakers are not Nigerians. Our harbowkeys like to stay where everything is handed to them on a gold platter. |

saintfieldcastro: The reason is because of the Lagos factor; more Nigerians are able to speak Yoruba because a lot of people have either lived in, visited or were born or bred in Lagos and environs. Yoruba are not more chatty, loquacious, noisy, talkative than the Igbo. 1 Like |

Yorubas dont have that hustling, get it by all means attitude, so they are concentrated at mostly relatively what you would call advanced societies. Yorubas also rarely are boastful, so you tend to believe they are docile, but its not true, they know and see things and act only when they need too. 8 Likes |
