There are more Igbo people in USA than in the UK, that's why Igbo people "claim" America. It has nothing to do with Yoruba people; we're not thinking about Yoruba people when we make that statement.

When it comes to the issue of success, I'll only accept what you do and not what you write. Yoruba people concede that Igbo people are more successful than them. I mean, I've had countless Yoruba people say it to me.

Whether that reality makes you feel comfortable or not is not my problem. It's your problem; you need to get over yourself. Yoruba people are doing alright, but if you really believed you were "better" than Igbo people, just like Northerner's, you'd be living in your own Odua Republic now.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter where you go, the UK or the US, there are more Yoruba people than Igbo people in the UK and in the US, period, full stop. No need for self-denial or endless argument and essays. Accept facts from the US government and let it go.

What Yorubas are "capable of doing"? Do you have any shame at all? You guys insult and denigrate Yorubas 24/7. You claim they mean you no good and want to harm you.

Yet can I ask you the Nigerian region that is your biggest home, outside SE Nigeria, in the entire universe?

If you answer correctly, i.e the SW, then look in the mirror and ask why you are so malevolent to your kindest benefactors in the world. Yoruba folks.

Perhaps you can see how abnormal you are. This may help you confront the fact the problem is with you and not with others.

In general, I can think of more famous Nigerian American actors, footballer players, basketball players etc, that are Igbo, than I can of those who are Yoruba.

Bro don’t stress yourself too much. Come on clubhouse and gauge demographics.

That’s where you can easily deduce that the Yorubas far outnumber Igbos in well-to-do Western countries. Whether USA, Canada, UK, Ireland and etc.

There are lot of diasporan Nigerians on clubhouse which somehow are dominated by people in Western countries and that’s how you can gauge it by seeing how the Yorubas outnumber other tribes on that app. While this might not be a 100% way to reach conclusion, at least it give credence to our argument on this thread that the Yorubas are more than Igbos in either UK, USA, or Canada:

Well that’s because you live in Lagos. If I live in Enugu and I marry Igbo woman for example, my kids will most likely speak more of Igbo because that is what they will need daily in Igboland to be able to have a convenient stay.

Now we are talking about USA, a neutral terrain where the first language basically is English. The indigenous language they ask people will be their ethnic one whether Yoruba/Igbo/Edoid languages.

Now if a Yoruba man get married to an Ibo man in USA and they ask the child what is their indigenous language, they might say Yoruba &Igbo or if they only need to say one for the sake of data, some might say Yoruba and some Igbo.

Hence, they will neutralize each other on both sides and they won’t still affect this data integrity.

Trust me if it had been that it was the Igbo that had larger presence than the Yoruba from the USA census, you will never see the Yoruba giving all this excuses you Ibos are giving on this thread. We will simply look away or find other countries where we are much too as our counter argument. Have you guys no shame?

Nigerians are more 2 million in the US even though nobody can tell the percentage language distribution. Igbos should be more than Yorubas by ancestral origin but as usual most must have lost their language.

Yoruba benefacting who? The Igbos that go to SW are going there to do business and hence improve the life of the average Yoruba person. Stop twisting reality. Without Igbos there will be no single motorable road in Yoruba land.

Efewestern:
Urhobo/Isoko make up the largest past of those whose origin were traced to Edoid. I understand related ethnic groups were linked together but we shouldn't forget give credits to these Deltans who despite their small numbers have dominated several spots far beyond the shores of Africa.

Bro, while you might be honest about this based on personal perception, but it is a blatan lie because the Igbos have consistently claimed that they outnumber the Yorubas in population in the USA. It has everything to do with the Yorubas. So stop feigning ignorance. Ask yourself why Igbos on this thread have been fighting to call this fake if not because it’s that Yoruba outnumber them. That’s your clue.

Well countless Igbos have conceded to me that the Yorubas are far more successful than them in USA. I’ve lost count. I will give you an example.

When I was still doing my masters back then, I attended NSBE conference then and usually companies come to recruit black engineers by accepting resumes and some times grant on-site interview. You have the fortune 50 companies clearly represented and the interviewers always wear their name tag. Out of all those guys that came, nearly 65% of them are Yorubas, the rest black Americans or other African countries. My Igbo friend that followed me did not know when he voiced out that omo you Yorubas are so successful and he’s asking what is the secret. I’m talking about Apple, Microsoft, Visa, Amazon, and etc. The reason why you have such population being sent is because it’s a black engineer event and normally companies sent black employee to interview people.

What about in corporate America itself, you Igbos know Yorubas are not your mate, forget all this Nairaland chestbeating, ask any of your Igbo guys here and they will attest to this fact. I’m telling you the Yorubas have billion $$ companies in USA, you’re saying rubbish.

Well the North Side of America are doing far better than the confederate south before the civil war and yet the North still fought tooth and nail to keep the South as part of the union. So your argument here hold no water.

The reason why the power that be are not letting the Igbos go is because of crude oil in ND. If any part of Nigeria breaks, whether Ijaw, Igbo, Yoruba, or Hausa, then the rest of the unit break and the sweet crude oil money derived from the South South people will be lost. That is the reason.
