[s][/s]Trash list.

Magrebes is the most populous tribe. Where did your Hausa get 78million. Where ijaw get 15million, who dash igbo 44million. Igbo is 34 million in population why Hausa and Yoruba are 43 and 40 million respectively.
" Igbo is 34 million in population". Because you believed that igboland is only SE. Now that you know there are Igbos in SS can you accept the figure.

Why I hate to argue with an average Yoruba person is that they lack facts and don't argue with points.

They will be wrong and still very loud, vomiting only insults.

The only strength they have is insults.

You mean Yoruba people lack facts? Seems you are new on Nairaland.

Read this thread and you will see we've been bringing sources to back our claims while some of your Igbo brothers are relying on hearsays about the Igbo traders they encountered!

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.

There are only 33,000 Igbos in Equatorial Guinea whereas there are 2 million Yorubas in Benin and 300000 Yorubas in Togo

He is saying 33,000 is greater than 2.3 million.

is it that Igbos have high birth rate (like a nuclear family having 24kids) or what? I actually thought it only Hausas that give birth recklessly.

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.
As it 2018 the total population of equatorial guinea is 1.3 million of which 81% of it are fang tribe. while others share the remaining. So how are you popular.

Yoruba Yoruba Yoruba again!

How could Yoruba be less than Igbos in Africa even with the fact that the Yorubas got a lot of indigenous natives scattered in some African countries and recognized by their government and officially gazetted.

Even within Nigeria, you can clearly see that the Yorubas are the second most populous tribe. So what is actually the drift of the argument now?

Igbos in Equatorial guinea have been there before 1960 and are now registered as indigenous group there, consisting 5% of the population there.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_Guinea

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.
See this thread :https://www.nairaland.com/997451/early-colonial-views-igbos-yorubas

Stop lying Man, igbo is not up to 5% of equatorial guinea population. According to their Wikki, it says igbos and others make up 5% not just igbos.

That is why I said igbos are a loud minority.this attitude exaggerates their population. In calabar,igbos outnumber yorubas by a tiny margin.in my street,5 igbos will be so loud and ubiquitous while they will be six yorubas who are quiet and always on low key

Lol, I don't know their problem swears.

So you mean a population Census of not up to 450k difference that was conducted in 1952 is what you are using to judge the current year 2020?

People already told you of Yoruba population that are indigenous to Togo and Benin and recognized by their government as an official ethnic group. If you were to quantify that it will be more than 450k right? That means I am assuming time remain stagnant.

Who in their right state of mind bandy around a 1952 figure as their proof in 2020?

Population is not about land mass bro

kanuri, Jukun, gwari and some other minority tribes have large land mass than Igbo's... But as we all know, the Igbo's are far more populated than them.


Even Niger state or Borno state is bigger than Yoruba six states combined together...... does that implies that gwari or kanuri that owns those states has more population than Yoruba tribe?

There are no official Yorubas in Brazil.
Just black slaves from all parts of Africa practicing Yoruba traditional religion, as a means to reach out to Mama Africa, since Yorubas were the last set of slaves to arrive South America from Africa, at a time most Slaves from Congo, Igbo, Mandika, Angola, etc who were brought there earlier had all lost their link to Africa due to the slave masters initial strict rules of trying to "deAfricanize" them.
The Yoruba slaves arrived at a time the white slave masters had relaxed their initial rules that stripped the earlier slaves of their Africa names, religion, etc.
This allowed Yoruba slaves retain their traditional religion, while other blacks who had lost their religion decided to copy Yoruba religion and even names in bid to reconnect to Mama Africa.

Not every black in Brazil practicing Yoruba religion is of Yoruba descent.
Yorubas are not the major black group taken to Brazil.
Eyah, sorry, you can proof with fact and not your fallacy. I feel for you brov
