Usenokpevbo:I can understand that the census has been geared to favour them.....that's the perception we've all had....but even with its bloated figure their population is nothing to be sneezed at.....even if we go with your population size of 45 Million do you mean to tell me 3Million or more of that cannot be in Lagos.....to give you a full understanding of who I am I used to work in a flour company in Apapa as a treasurer for close to 30 years I interacted with these people day in day out cause they bought in bulk to ship northward I held some of them close and they held me close cause I handled their money in the company account, trust me when I tell you that they have the second highest population in Lagos.....if Lagos was not Yoruba Land they would probably be number 1........ |

LeonSaab: Just an estimate but the LASG figure is correct give or take a few thousands. The federal civil service figure is a fair estimate too |
Re: Top Five West African Languages Spoken In The United States - 2022 by lawani: 2:35pm On Dec 09, 2023 |
LeonSaab: Zone by zone. It will be SW NC SS/SE/NW NE That will be the distribution of population in Lagos in descending order |
Re: Top Five West African Languages Spoken In The United States - 2022 by Usenokpevbo: 2:36pm On Dec 09, 2023 |
LeonSaab:They might be number 1, as per their tribe across divide, Hausas from Nigeria alone in Lagos state, i don’t think so, just do well to ask them their nationality, you will be shocked that maybe 15% of those population are not from Nigeria, another 10% is from Fulani, kanuri or one other northern group that were not Hausas from the beginning but has been fully hausanized. you working with them everyday for such a long time everyday exposes you to them and might have motivated your ‘bias’ I said i analysed based on the 20 million figure the Lagos state government is brandishing. 15% of 20 million is just about 3 million 1 Like |

Usenokpevbo:your right I worked with people for so long and never bothered to ask where they come from 🙄..... |
Re: Top Five West African Languages Spoken In The United States - 2022 by LeonSaab: 2:40pm On Dec 09, 2023 |
lawani:all you're doing is estimating with no source....... |
Re: Top Five West African Languages Spoken In The United States - 2022 by Usenokpevbo: 2:45pm On Dec 09, 2023 |
LeonSaab:you at most would still ask a fraction of them and besides your workplace is only a fraction of the Hausas in Lagos state, even in Benin city here, i discovered many of them are not directly from Nigeria, the same thing when i was in Lagos, shoe-makers, suya people, bikemen, wristwatch sellers etc a chunk of them are from outside, Niger, Mali, Chad etc 1 Like |
Re: Top Five West African Languages Spoken In The United States - 2022 by lawani: 2:51pm On Dec 09, 2023 |
LeonSaab: Yes estimate is okay. Yoruba are ninety percent of LASG whose spouses are also working. They are maybe 40 percent of Federal civil service if not more. Traders will be like seventy percent if all traders are added together. Artisans will be close to ninety percent Private schools maybe seventy percent Almost all petrol stations More than eighty percent of bakeries Majority of pure water factories At least half of people in the transport sector Hoteliers will be close to eighty percent. Etc etc etc 1 Like |

Usenokpevbo:because it started at my workplace doesn't mean it ended there, the relationships I built there allowed me to interact with better with others I met outside which Is how I know they are quite a lot of them.....yes once in a while I'll come across a Fulani or some guy from Niger but I'll run into five Hausa guys before that one......the relationships u built at work was what started opening my eyes to just how large they are within the state |
Re: Top Five West African Languages Spoken In The United States - 2022 by Usenokpevbo: 3:02pm On Dec 09, 2023 |
LeonSaab:It is so easy for those groups that are not Hausas to easily identify as Hausas, it gives them that edge and protection especially those groups whose ethnic heritage has been written off, and many of these guys from other countries would not open up to you except they now feel comfortable with you They are large quite alright, as a single stand alone group from Nigeria, the Igbo is a larger community in Lagos state 1 Like |

Usenokpevbo:no they are not......not even close...... |
Re: Top Five West African Languages Spoken In The United States - 2022 by Usenokpevbo: 3:45pm On Dec 09, 2023 |
LeonSaab:well to you, i think this is the perfect place to leave this argument since neither of us will not be convinced by each other’s arguments |

seguno2: Peter Crouch said that he knows when people say CR7 is a better player than Messi that their IQ is low. Just like that, I have concluded instantly that your IQ is too low for this kind of discussion. |

LeonSaab: Because mooorons like LeonSaab would make such a claim. Question: Was your approach an intelligent way to show, or does it prove, Yorubas voted massively for Peter Obi? |
Re: Top Five West African Languages Spoken In The United States - 2022 by Gamesmart: 4:25pm On Dec 09, 2023 |
LeonSaab: This total moooron continues to pull statistics from his ass. https://bivnze./2018/09/27/indians-chinese-top-list-as-nis-records-81003-foreigners-in-nigeria/ Did the 800k Indians you manufactured in your ass also vote "massively" for Peter Obi? |

LeonSaab: Such low IQ. So wikipedia is your source and is more reliable than Nigerian immigration data? "Yorubas voted massively for Peter Obi" foooool! |

LeonSaab: Moooron, you are laughing at your own stupidity. So the Indians just grew out of the ground in Nigeria, they didn't pass through immigration and wikipedia is your great source? Or Yorubas voted the Indians into existence in Nigeria, so Immigration does not know how they entered the country? |
Re: Top Five West African Languages Spoken In The United States - 2022 by LeonSaab: 1:26am On Dec 10, 2023 |
Gamesmart:id!ot we are talking about Indians that were born and breed in Nigeria, have children In Nigeria, carry a Nigerian Passport and citizenship not just a visa.....you have proven yourself an id!ot and I pity those who raised you cause they just wasted their money and those who will look to you to raise them will have Fo@l for an elder.....don't quote me again till you have sense......🤣🤣🤣 |
