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! 4 Likes

Bendeco2020: Oga say what you can proof with statistical facts 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. 4 Likes |

Iamgrey5: 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. https:///Explore/groupdetails.aspx?peid=13167 9 Likes 3 Shares |

AhoadaRivers: Immigrants are found everywhere. They are talking about language. Even though you travel everywhere you actually help increase the spread of your host language, not yours. Indigenesouly Igbo is only found in Nigeria. Your language is not dispersed across boundary lines. Indigeneously the following are spread across West Africa and their languages are widespread. Yoruba and Hausa languages colonized others. Kanuri - Nigeria, Chad Hausa - Nigeria, Niger, Benin Bariba - Nigeria Benin Yoruba - Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Ghana, Sierra Leone.
