I am Waiting patiently on top of mango tree in north Korea, for bitter and hateful people to invade this thread with insults and false narrations as usual .

🤣🤣🤣Come down from that mango tree now or else, lol. Those people are pained liars, they claim Yorubas don't travel because we don't value traveling withing Nigeria, everyone likes to travel to a place that offers better living than their own land and in Nigeria no other region can attract Yoruba more than our own south west so we look to the overseas when it comes to traveling because developed countries are the only place better than Yoruba land, and we have been traveling out before some people learn to wear clothes

what you are celebrating is insignificant. I can walk up to DMV on Tuesday and apply to have igbo, ijaw or Hausa added there. Translation is now digitized and it will cost me absolutely nothing

The reason it was added was because of the US census bureau data. You can see that on the main post.

Fact:
—The USA state of Maryland added 9 new languages

—Yoruba language is the only West African Language in the list

—Reason why Yoruba was selected was because according to US census bureau data, Yoruba had the highest number of West African tribe in USA.

—This validate the thread that was created on Nairaland last year by “Scholes0” about Yoruba being the largest Nigerian tribe in the USA based on data from US census bureau.

No data to back up this claim I’m about to make but from empirical evidence I say; even in the UK, the Yorubas have it.

It's just a natural thing for the Yorubas to triumph and globally recognize in Artistry and their Language as long as it's in excellence accreditation, intelligentsia and absolute educational pursuits. Here in US, Nigerians are well recognized and given kudos but YORUBAS are just excellently pronounced and exceptional....Often, you want to be a Yoruba so as to feel a sense of belonging. That tribe just have a spiritual something in them that makes people of other ethnicity in the US etc.. to love them and want to relate with them....

😁😁😁, Thanks

Well, considering the fact that almost all the embassies are in Lagos, its nothing you should beat your chest about. Any individual from the south west can easily come to the embassy on a daily basis and does not hesitate to re apply after being denied visa.

So its not surprising that the Yoruba's have the highest population in the US.

There is data to back it up.

The UK and Canada usually publish population stat for non-citizens and they categorize by tribe. I’ve seen them and Yoruba people have the highest number from Africa living in those countries.

You can also easily go to their census bureau website to validate.

Yoruba is a universal language.
I will burst into Juices and get wet instantly if tinubu can call me "onitemi"

Sing a love song to me in yoruba at night I bet you won't be able to go to work the preceding morning.

As a typical benin girl I must confess that the yoruba language is a powerful and beautiful tool for global communication.
It's my favourite language because it opens up a world of opportunities.

It is not just a Nigerian language but communities in the Caribbean, South America, and the United States also speak it.

In fact, the Yoruba culture is rich and vibrant, with a long history and a strong tradition of art, music, and storytelling.

The Yoruba language is vibes.
It's rich.
Its rich in proverbs, folktales, and oral histories.

In fact, the Yoruba culture is a fascinating tapestry of art, religion, social norms, and language.

If any sugar daddy decide to sponsor me in school again I will study yoruba language , Its global influence underscores its richness and resilience, and studying it provides invaluable insights into African cultural diversity.

I love tinubu.
Tinubu please love me back, I want to show you something.
Abeg do small small make this love for Tinubu no injure you.

Are the Yoruba called a West African tribe by your source or yourself? In the west, they are very careful and wouldn't describe the Yoruba or any other civilised people as a tribe. They would rather use people, people group, ethnic group , and ethnicity. Let's stop descrbing ourselves as a tribe.

The Maryland Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle istration said it is expanding accessibility services as part of Gov. Wes Moore's focus on equity and access.

Here are the new languages offered:

—Yoruba (West Africa)
—Tagalog
—Amharic (Afro-Asiatic language)
—Arabic
—Russian
—Urdu
—Hindi
—Farsi
—Portuguese
—American Sign Language

The new language offerings were determined with U.S. Census data.

"Improving accessibility for the driver's knowledge test and study materials is critical to serve Maryland's linguistically diverse population," said Motor Vehicle Chrissy Nizer.

The current languages offered include English, Spanish, French, Nepali, Korean, traditional Chinese and Vietnamese.

I the below thread where some people opined that Yoruba are not the largest Nigeria tribe in the USA. On this thread, we reiterated time and time and time that Yorubas are by far the largest group of Nigerians in USA, UK, and Canada based on available data from the government of those countries.

This new decision by the state of Maryland validate this fact.
