How Many Languages Does An Average Nigerian Speak ? by Fundamentalist: 11:04am On Sep 30, 2014
Nigeria is a multicultural society with different dialectics and language. The average Nigeria understands and communicate in different languages, depending on where he/she is brought up. From my findings the average Nigeria speaks at least two languages i.e His or her native
language and English language (lingual franca) as well. As For me i speak and understand four of such languages i.e English, Hausa , Yoruba (native) and Arabic. So as Nigerian how many languages can you speak ?

average is two ... Dialect and english !

I think Government through the National Orientation Agency should create a Nigerian Language school which should be similar to French Village in Badagry to enable each and every citizen being able to communicate Nigerian Dialect effectively and promote unity !!
