If u travel to any nation the first question their citizen will ask u when you tell them that u're from Nigeria is "Are you Igbo?"


Most foreigners have not come across Yoruba man. They are only aware of Igbos.

Raydos:
The total number of Yoruba in Brazil is 80million, which means there are more Yoruba living in Brazil than Nigeria sef!

The number of Yoruba living in Brazil alone is more than all Igbos both home and abroad!!


I haven't even mentioned Benin republic, Cuba, Liberia, Togo and some other African countries oooo!

It is clear that illiteracy is in your gene.... That's why u're not aware that Igbo's are more in number than yorubas outside Nigeria.


Tribal illiterate

Bendeco2020:


Yorubas can also be found in foreign country but Igbos are far more than them in foreign countries.... Talking from experience. Maybe u have not traveled to any Asian or Europian country that's why it's hard for u to understand. The only European nation u can find Yorubas more than Igbo's is England.

Even in South and North American nations, Igbo's also outnumbered them by far.

lexyking:




Oga say what you can proof with statistics I beg, yes Igbos are definitely more than yorubas in Asian countries, but in north America and Europe with the exception of Germany and the eastern part of Europe where the economy is not that big there's no any other part of Europe that you don't find Yorubas and Igbos in good numbers.

As for north America, the two tribes are well represented so except if you're just being bias, there's nothing to prove that any of the two tribes have more numbers than the other.

This is my own first hand experience not hear say.

Actually there is.

All ethnic census conducted by British have always put Igbos more than Yorubas.

1921, 1931, 1952 census all had Igbos more than Yorubas

I hope you know that in 1952 Yorubas in Benin and Togo were not counted with the Nigerian population?

I responded to his claim that they are more Igbos than Yorubas in the diaspora.

Nnamdipapakanu:
Igboes and chest beating

There are no indigenous Yorubas in Togo.
The Yorubas in Benin wouldn't have made up the deficit Yorubas had against Igbos in that census in 1952.

Iamgrey5:
There are indigenous Yoruba in Togo

https://punchng.com/in-togo-atakpame-keeps-yoruba-language-alive/


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ana_people

They are called Ana Ife

They have been in Togo since 17 century even before gun moved to Badagry

The Yorubas in Benin republic is third largest ethnic group in Benin republic and are currently close to 2 million.

pazienza:


Well, that would be hard to determine sha.

lexyking:



My point exactly, the truth is that without any statistical database, no tribe can claim to have more population than the other.

Most of this figures that is being churned out are nothing but mere projections.

pazienza:


Well the Igbos in Equatorial guinea will cancel them off.
Yorubas in Benin up to 2 million?
If they are assumed to be 2 million today, which I doubt, it means their population in 1952 would be like 285,000 in 1952.
Which would not be enough to make up the deficit Yorubas had on Igbos in 1952.

Iamgrey5:
Which igbos are in Equatorial guinea?

They went to Equatorial guinea after western civilization had come to Africa

In any case, the whole population of Equatorial guinea is not more than 1.2 million as at 2015.

PS: We have large numbers of Yorubas in Ivory coast, Ghana, Sierra lone, Liberia and Gambia.

pazienza:


The Igbos in equatorial guinea like Yorubas in Togo are recognized as indigenous group.
They have been there long enough to earn indigenous status.

Igbos are in Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia, etc too.
Not only Yorubas.

AhoadaRivers:


Igbo is found in large numbers all over the world mr yoruba man.

There is no country in the world where you don't find an Igbo man. We all know this.
Stop pushing it, propaganda days on your newspaper are over.
