scholes0: This report is about the [b]most spoken, not necessarily the number of igbos or Yoruba's in the US. I married a Yoruba but my kids don't speak Igbo. They speak Yoruba, and l am in Lagos oh. All my childhood friends who live in Australia, Canada and the US, none can boast of have children who speak Igbo even when they married Igbo's too. |

[quote author=Jimasun post=107537081] I don't even argue with them. I always laugh at them[/quot 10 most spoken may not mean Yoruba's are more, but that Yoruba as a language is spoke more. Bear in mind that most Igbo's won't speak igbo. My kid don't and l am only in lagos |

Igboid: What kind of nonsense is this for heaven sake? The OP made a chart of the data from the USA census bureau so as to make the information presentable to the audience. I bet you if he’s just uploading only table, people will get bored and that much info won’t be easily contained or sorted by order of largest to smallest on here. This is simple as ABC. Below is an example of what I’m saying. Check the datapoint in the image below from the USA census bureau website. Nigerian-461495 Ethiopian-321742 Kenyan-91455 Now check the bar chart the OP uploaded. You can see the number tallies from the label of the bar charts. Nigerian-461495 Ethiopian-321742 Kenyan-91455 On Nairaland, out of all the Ibos in here, you’re the one that I at least always engage because I think you have something upstairs which is why sometimes I mention you. But for you to purposely feign ignorance on this issue by lying the data is fake now make me think you are just as comical as your kinsmen on here. That means I will start engaging you as a troll too then. 14 Likes 2 Shares

RockhouseCafe: 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? 15 Likes 2 Shares |

Jimasun: Because we always ignore Ibos is why their propaganda usually sell. You know we Yorubas have this mindset of not caring much about stuffs and we easily move on to other things. That’s what the Ibos have been exploiting in Nigeria. Take the case of Ojuku released Awolowo for example, most of the Ibos continue to parrot that nonsense because we Yorubas did not set the record straight as we hear it. It is not until when I opened multiple thread with evidence that the narrative died down. Ibo will always lie, lying comes to them generally because that is the only way they can sell the logic that they came back from war bla bla bla to brag. 99% of what they say need to be validated: 16 Likes 5 Shares |

Philipponzaghi: There's more of them, I'm not sure about any of the other stuff you've written. When we think of Nigerian-American representation, we very rarely see Yoruba people, which is why people assume there isn't very many of them. That said, this has always been my line of reasoning. That Igbo people are just more visible (not more numerous), because on average we're more successful. |

LegendHer0: Good point. I live in the US. At least 50% of the recent immigrants here (past 20 years) that I interact with lived in Lagos before coming to the US. That makes a difference in OPs data. |

rdokoye: More successful in what in the USA if I may ask? Beside sports which Igbos play like the USA football and basketball what else? The main reason why Igbos always claim USA is because the Yorubas have an edge in the Uk so they naturally use the argument that Ibos are in USA and Yoruba are in UK. They also use the argument of Azikiwe and how Igbo people value USA more than UK hence they are more. That’s where the propaganda started. —Even in that USA sport, which Igbo is as successful as Hakeem Olajuwon and Adetokunbo brothers? —In politics in USA, the Yorubas are more successful than the Igbos. —In Entertainment in USA, the Yorubas are more successful. —In Eduvation, the Yorubas far outnumbers the Igbo in universities across USA and that is a fact! —In the Tech industry, the Yorubas in USA have two unicorn companies in USA which is worth over $3billion dollar. Calendly and Cityblock. Google them. —In corporate America, the Yorubas are very well the most represented tribe in Nigeria. Check the company Skype/Employee profile of any corporate American company, you will see the Yorubas outnumber other Nigerian ethnicity. —In the food restaurant industry, using ATL for example, you will see more Yoruba styled restaurants than those of igbos. I’m sure that’s how it will be in other states. I kinda like you tho, you at least find another excuse and did not call the data on this thread Fake, So we are getting somewhere. Lastly, please answer the question, how are the Igbos in USA more successful than the Yorubas? Also know that, I Legendhero always validate claims so if you think you can lie to me, you are wasting your time. 16 Likes 3 Shares |

LegendHer0: 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. 1 Like |
