He is Krio. All slaves in Sierra Leone, including the Ibos and the Akus, condensed into single ethnic group called Krio (Creole).

So he was Krio. But looking at his name, you can tell what part of Krio he came from.

Igbos in Equatorial guinea have been there before 1960 and are now registered as indigenous group there, consisting 5% of the population there.

I dont see Yoruba recognized officially as an ethnic group in Togo.

As for Sierra Leone. The Yorubas were as much as Igbos there. The two groups were rivals and well balanced.

Bendeco2020:



U're just feeling Inferior..... since u won carry the matter go America.

let me inform you, the total numbers of Igbo's in North and south America is more than yorubas in those continents. you can make research and educate yourself.


Brazil is not the only South American nation.

Sammy07:

So you believe Hausas outnumbered Fulanis??

The kind of people I interact with on Nairaland is alarming

Salewa97:


You guys don't know jack. Yorubas are an official ethnic group in Togo called the Ana-Ife. They are also called Atakpame .

Below is the official CIA ethnic demographics of Togo and you can see the Ana-Ife people are there.

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

CAPSLOCKED:

EVERYDAY NONSENSE IGBO AND YORUBA ARGUMENTS ON THIS FORUM.

THE SHAMEFUL THING IS THAT THE ILLITERATE MALLAMS HAVE BEEN IN CHARGE OF THIS COUNTRY SINCE DAY ONE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY WILL ALWAYS BE.

Bendeco2020:


How will they know.


Illiterates that see themselves as educated people.


Many educated illitrates in Yoruba land.... I swear

Bendeco2020:


For you to believe this confirmed the illiterate I called you.

Iamgrey5:
Even in your supposed Evidence

There was no mention of igbos among the Krio but Yorubas Oku was mentioned several times

MetaPhysical:


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.
Fulani - Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger, Mali, Ghana, Guinea,

When you are reading a wikipedia group called Okun. Why do you expect Igbos to be mentioned there?

Iamgrey5:
I clicked on Kiro page oh bro

And it's Oku not Okun

Okun is a Yoruba group in Nigeria

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.

Sammy07:


You know their problem?
If they see some Igbos doing business anywhere outside Igbo land, they'll assume that Igbos are many and populous.

They even claim Igbos are the largest group after the indigenous in any state in Nigeria.

AhoadaRivers:


[s]Shut your dirty mouth, If we add the Igbo DNA carriers in the carribeans and south America. The Igbo population will dust yoruba population by million.

You want to pretend that most African Americans are not of Igbo heritage, you want us to fill this thread with pictures of AAs rediscovering their Ibo roots? Most Jamaicans are of Igbo descent, the Jonkunu yam festival in Jamaica and Carribeans stems from the Igbo culture, do yorubas celebrate yam festival?
The word 'Unu' in Jamaican patois and Carribean pidgin is an Igbo word derivative. The first black president of Haiti was a former slave of Igbo descent.

So if you yorubas want to go that lane, be our guest, as we all know that it if we factor in Igbo-descendant population in the Americas and Caribs and add it to the local population and in diaspora, 200 million will be a conservative figure for Igbo global population count.[/s]

I don't know what you are on about.

See page on Krio here. Igbos are obviously there

Ibrahimmrfish:

Every person with a functioning brain know Hausa outnumbered Fulani.

compton11:
he is talking about indigenous ethnic not ajala travellers

Salewa97:


Stop saying nonsense on a public forum!

Ibrahimmrfish:
Arabic then Swahili Hausa is probability number 3,while Yoruba 4,5 or 6

Iamgrey5:
Screen shots the igbos there

AhoadaRivers:


Travelling to Papau new guinea doesn't strip me of my Ibo heritage. The list said 'most populous African tribe' not 'most populous African tribes resident in Africa'.

So all African tribes but at home and in diaspora are factored in. Get it?
