Igbo's are actually far more visible than yorubas in Nigeria and elsewhere.. Except we have audio Yorubas.. . like one yoruba poster said earlier.. That igbos are visible because of gragra and trades Even in the southwest of Nigeria, we have a huge presence of Igbo speakers..,whereas u can hardly see anybody speaking Yoruba in the southeast and most parts of the south south... Let us not even go to west African countries ,..and even the entire Africa as a whole..

Same old jargons

LegendHero:
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?

the most populous in your ewedu statistics. Why were you not the most populous when this one was counted

LegendHero:


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 then was 5.4m. Today we are looking at 40m.
That's like increase by a factor 6.

So in real sense. That 400k difference then, would also increase by a factor of 6 , so that's like 2.4million difference by today.

So using the 1952 census, Igbo population should be 2.4million more than those of Yorubas in Nigeria.

no

Nothing like Okun in Sierra Leone. By the way, all colonial archives called Yoruba slaves in Sierra Leone "Aku" and not Okun, and they were always matched in number and influence by Igbo slaves in Sierra Leone as well.

Today descendants of Igbo and Yoruba slaves in Sierra had been assimilated as KRIOS. There no more Ibos or Aku as groups indigenous to Sierra Leone.

I see no Ana in Togo too.

Oga stop arguing blindly. Seria loane did not put the tribes there. Official language in Togo are French and Yoruba.

What is the population of Igbo traders in Porto Novo?

Can you bring us a reference to show their actual population?

Abi o. He should tell us.

You have forgotten 3 Million igbos died in the Biafra war according to Ipob department of statistics

What about the three million igbos died in the war

Iamgrey5:
What about the three million igbos died in the war

They were mainly children starved to death.

Easily replaced by their healthy and reproductive active parents after the war.

There was a baby boom in Igbo land post 1970.

Bendeco2020:



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?

well you have a point.

nonetheless, the 2006 census says Yorubas are more, same with Inec voters registration, NCC subscribers statistics.


This report is a complete garbage not because it didn't favour Yorubas(population is not an achievement), everything is wrong from Hausas being over 70m to fulani 35m ijaw 15 and placing Igbo above Yoruba.

That's like increase by a factor 6.

So in real sense. That 400k difference then, would also increase by a factor of 6 , so that's like 2.4million difference by today.

So using the 1952 census, Igbo population should be 2.4million more than those of Yorubas in Nigeria.

So according to your professor, population always increases by a constant factor?

smh!

You are so slow bruv

So Yorubas simply stopped making babies those years.

There is nothing to debate here, the dumbest report I've seen so far this year.

post=90066965:

They enjoy deceiving themselves online, across Nigeria during election you see politicians going round begging for Igbo voters, from north, west and south, have you seen any governor in Southsouth, North and East soliciting for Yoruba voters outside Yoruba land .

Off point. Stop acting like agbaya.You get pikin na haba.What are they saying, what are you saying. Why did your election not carry Atiku in. Abi buhari beg you. Even Abiola won despite telling you to go to hell.

Mightyhaiz:
funny request..


Can u bring a reference to show actual populations of your group in your own very country Nigeria?


I encounter lots of Igbo traders in port novo ..far more than any other Nigerians there.. If u have ever visited benin,u can attest too

Answer him na, you dey fear?

AhoadaRivers:


Spread of language is not a yardstick for population. English is spoken in more than 80 countries by more than 3 billion people but the English are less than 55 million people. Kanuri is spoken in Cameroon, Niger, Chad and Nigeria but they are still a minority tribe.

Jukunland is bigger in geographical spread than the South East but the Jukuns remain a tiny minority.

In Nigeria, the Ibos are the most travelled people, they see the whole world as their space and move without hindrance to live and settle in strange lands. That bravery is what makes the Igbos more populous than the yoruba.

Argue as you may, the Ibos are dominant in their land and are the second most dominant after the indigenous population outside their regions within nigeria.

Outside Nigeria within Africa, the Ibos are found in large population in EVERY African country and outside Africa and are easily the most populous Nigerians found in other African countries. 2 in every 5 Africans in diaspora are Nigerians, 1 out of that two is usually an Igbo, the 1 other could come from any other 350 tribes within nigeria.

These are facts laid bare, not your Ewe Ironyin statistical jargon.

No one should take this one serious, he will only end up reduce someone IQ to his own level.

Iamgrey5:

You can't make more than you can raise. Unless you are raising Almajiri army.

Igbo children who died due to protein energy malnutrition.
Were quickly replaced by their parents after the war.
Adults and adolescents don't die from protein Energy malnutrition.
If you had child who died during the war, and you planning to stop reproducing before the war. You were left with no option but to replace them after the war.
It's that simple.

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.

Stop lying.Yorubas are the only people you can find anywhere in the world even the coldest part of the world that an Igbo will never have the balls to go.

AhoadaRivers:


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.

Kikikiki, not only 200million, Na 200billion hehehe

So are you saying igbo children were not counted as igbos in 1952? or igbo Adult didn't die in Large numbers in 1966 Biafra war?

Nope. Igbo Adults didn't die in significant numbers.
Only children died, mostly due to starvation policy and bombing of houses and market places.

That was true.

What about Yoruba supporters of Awolwo and Akintola that was killing themselves during operation Wetie?

Igbo population is a highly replenishing ones because of our traditions.

We lost like two times more slaves than Yorubas, yet quickly replaced them and had more numbers than Yorubas in all British colonial census reports.

Bendeco2020:



leave them.

The so called educated tribe (Yoruba)

They don't even know that Hausa's has more population than Fulani yet they claim to be educated. Disgracing their tribe here

Shut up, nobody is saying Hausa is not more than Fulani, what we are saying is the inflated population Mr dummy.

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.


One of them said that Fulani are more populous than Hausa and I was expecting one of their brothers to correct him but all supported the rubbish.


How can I continue to argue with this kind of people?

Keep quiet victim crier. They have been giving you fact and you are shouting insult. Who is insulting dunderhead like you.

Ibrahimmrfish:

Hausa-Nigeria,Niger,Cameron, Chad,Sudan,Eritrea, Saudi,Ghana, Benin,Senegal.

Hausa is not indigeneous in cameroon or chad or sudan or eritrea or saudi or ghana, not even in senegal.

Most of places you listed are settler communities of hausa traders.

If we were talking of settler communities i would list Yoruba all way to Mauritania and Mali.

Indigeneous only....
Hausa - Nigeria, Niger, Benin.

awgumayor:
" 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.

Oga, both in igbo land and other places. You people are not more than 34million. Fact does not lie.
