I really struggle to believe there are more Yorubas in the USA than Igbos.

I am suspecting maybe Yorubas just teach their kids their indigenous language more than Igbos.

There are more Yorubas in the UK than Igbo. I struggle to believe that is also the case in the USA.

There are more Yorubas in the USA than Eboes

Typically average Yoruba man is motivated by education and status in society. The average Ibo man is motivated by money. Respect in Yoruba society is not achieved by money but by having a Nobel profession. The average yoruba man seeks to have a Noble profession and it is usually their wives that are the hustlers…probably explaining why yoruba women are very aggressive. Most of the best yoruba brains produced between1970 and 1990 are unable to practice their highly sought professions in Nigeria so it is no surprise many yoruba professionals are abroad. Doctors, engineers etc. professionals also tend to be a quiet reserved group. So unless you take a poll you may not know how many actually exist as they are not given to noise making.

casualobserver:

Ibos are loud in everything..plus they have a habit of going to other peoples’ land and making noise bragging about their “achievements in other peoples’ land whereas Yorubas respect themselves as visitors. If you count the number of Nigerian born mayors or politicians in America I am sure there are more Yorubas but the way Ibos carry on you will think every black mayor of politician in America is an Ibo man.

DaTruths:


Yorubas are more corporate, hence the reason why they are more officially inclined.

But by outright population, Igbos are more in number both documented and undocumented.

Bishopsgate:


It's not so implausible that there are more Yoruba speakers in the US than Igbo speakers because quite a higher percentage of Igbos in Lagos grew up being able to speak Yoruba, while there are much fewer Yoruba that can speak Igbo.

So in completing the census info, Igbos who can speak Yoruba will add to Yoruba speakers more than Yorubas will add to Igbo Speakers.

Just come to Lagos and conduct a little sample to check the veracity of my submission and you'll see that it is quite very likely true

It makes no sense. Why should i go to places where my safety is not guaranteed while US dey there? Will you to go to Maiduguri over Yankee because you not lilly-lilvered? Even if you can throw jibe, do it constructively. Yorubas are more strategic than you. That's why you keep chasing yet you have more hypertension than them. You put yourself I trouble and develop high blood pressure.

Some 🤡s like to say "Yorubas don't travel".

We just don't travel to unsafe regions. That's all.

Nwaajasa:
the topic is not about which language is more in number but the one more spoken, you and I know that Igbos don't like to speak Igbo to their brothers and even their children at home like other tribes, so more than 85% of Igbos here don't speak Igbo, Do you know that even in our Igbo meetings here we still speak English

in a way yes, your ability to keep your culture alive beyond your borders determines how well it will survive longterm.....and one of the easiest ways is by language

I wouldn't be surprised.

Germany has not been historically seen as a 'furthering your education' destination or for professional careers by Nigerians, it has mostly be seen as a place for buying cars and selling in Nigeria.

True.

Yorubas definitely speak their language at home to their kids more than Igbos.

In Ireland's 2011 census: 10,093 people spoke Yoruba at home, making it the most widely spoken African language in the country, while 3,875 spoke Igbo.

In UK's 2011 census: 14,914 people spoke Yoruba as a main language, while 7,946 spoke Igbo.

Now in America: 207,052 people speak Yoruba at home, while 117,118 spoke Igbo.

With Igbos at roughly half the population of Yoruba home speakers, I refuse to believe Igbos are only half the population of Yorubas in these countries. They just probably don't pass on their language to their kids as well as Yorubas do. And we also know Igbos are more likely to have and use English names than Yorubas.

This is the benefit of Yoruba pride in their history and culture.

Broo that noise is just too much, Kilode.

The other day one was bragging Igbos are rich and own 90% of private jet in Nigeria blabla until I checked in at Hangar list of Private jets owners in Nigeria and saw only 5 Igbo business men own Private jet whilst Yoruba business men who own PJ are bout 10. Yet you won't see an Average Yoruba brag bout frivolities as such

QueenDima47:

When they say Yorubas don't travel what it means that Yorubas don't add any economic values where they go.

Gerrard59:


I am willing to wager that the majority of Nigerians in Asia are Igbos. By Asia, I mean East and South East Asia. In Japan, the majority of Nigerians are Igbos. The Nigerian Union in Japan is disproportionately dominated by Igbos. I want to believe China, Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan should not be different. That covers East Asia. South East Asia should not be different, I believe.
