Yoruba is a lingua franca of more than 3 west african countries.

Yoruba is one of Africa's most widespread languages.

So stop yarning dust.

Africans and slavery. I'd rather preservation of my language than English.

What countries? Please don't say Benin or Togo.

Most igbos I know speak Yoruba and Hausa better than Igbo

Obiagu1:
No, they are not!

Yes they are.

Do you know several european countries now have Yorubas in their curriculum? Yoruba language classes. And more than 47 USA universities teaches Yoruba.

So once again, why should BBCAfrica ignore Yoruba?

More than 47 USA universities.

Beninoise have richer and well documented history than the the Equinox or Equitorian Guineans. The Dahoey Kingdom comes to minf and rsonate all over the world.

What is EG known for?

No one cares fancy history from about 100 years ago. About 100 years ago France was overshadowing Germany. I'm not going to explain to you why Equatorial Guinea is more strategic today than Benin, it's pointless.

Because a non-Igbo speaker would know how much an Igbo speaker can speak Igbo because? Clap for yourself.

IlekeHD:


We don't understand igbhoe in Yorubaland either.

But the world is trying to understand and spread the Yoruba language

Igbo is spoken in Eq. Guinea and recognized in their constitution as an official language. We didn't have to sell the highest number of slaves like the yorrobers did to achieve that in Eq. guinea. Ina nu m?

ezeagu:


What countries? Please don't say Benin or Togo.

Benin, Togo, Ghana, IVC, and Sierra Lione have Yoruba groups that speak Yorubas.....so yes son, I will say it.

LMAOOOOO the Igbo language is dead in Eq Guinea as its dying in Nigeria

ArodeTsolaye:


yorubas are inferior and they know it. Explains why Igbo is the S.I unit to measure relative superiority for them. lol

Girl stop!
Simple google or wiki can help you.
Stop spinning what's obvious.

Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba are not and never have been official languages in Nigeria.

Obiagu1:


No, they are not!

Dont get emotional bro,yorubas are regarded as the biggest ethnic group in africa with over 30m people.Use google.

Look 'am always happy when African languages are recognized on the international stage. But on the other hand, you and so many Yorubas on here are behaving rather childishly by ridiculing the Igbo Language, just because you feel your language has been recognized. How about the Hausa service that has been there for ages? Igbo may not have been added now but you and I know that it will definitely be added at some point 'cus we are a major African group too.
And by the way, Igbo language is not dying it is very much alive. I don't know why y'all derive joy in peddling lies about anything Igbo.

IlekeHD:


Good girl

Don't worry, your brothers are just yarning dust for now. They know what this means, so they'd rather talk trash here and beg on BBCAfrica

Igbo can only be added when we become as illiterate as the Hausa and Yoruba.

or if we get Biafra and Igbo becomes an official language.

Oh, come on, Igbo is spoken in more African countries in larger numbers than all Nigerian languages because of trade, yet I cannot honestly say Igbo is a lingua franca of Gabon, even if people greet 'Igwe' in Kenya because of Nollywood.

You are right on this one,but saying igbo has more speakers than yoruba is false.

They are talking because they don't know the criteria.

People will always speak the indigenous Language of the place they grew up in. Don't you know that the Yorubas and Hausas that grew up in Igbo land speak Igbo Language better than some Igbo people? This is not something to brag with now. Can you guys just stop this!

It's just common sense that an Igbo person will not speak Igbo to someone that doesn't understand it therefore that person will think the Igbo person speaks their own language less. They're actually being courteous.

I'm being serious. Ask them to speak Igbo and they either say they can't or struggle. Yet they can speak Yoruba/Hausa fluently and do so at will. Especially in Lagos. Igbos will speak Yoruba like they're descendants of the place.
