I only subscribe to the second to the last point. Which also applies to learning any other language apart from your mother's tongue. It helps the brain.

Olaola25:

Nonsense! 3 major languages my foot.
More like 3 major ethnic groups that have spoilt Nigeria.

bizhop01:
I speak 5 nigeria languages & 3 international,
i want to learn more

Opinionated:
Nigeria has three major languages namely Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa. The thing is not a large number of people can communicate in these three languages. This is perhaps because English is our main lingua franca. There are so many benefits of speaking these three languages. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares these benefits. It is, noteworthy, to say that even though we are encouraging Nigerians to speak these three languages, more and more citizens are moving away from even communicating in their own mother tongue.

You will have more job opportunities

There are certain jobs you can not apply for if you cannot speak these three languages. And you know that these jobs come with fantastic salaries and bonuses. For example, you cannot work for BBC Hausa, if you cannot speak Hausa whether you are a veteran broadcaster or not.

Improve your competitiveness

Speaking a second or third traditional language makes your curriculum vitae stand out and can boost you to the top of the interview list with potential employers. You are very competitive.

Can earn more money

The financial returns of learning an extra Nigerian language can help you earn more money. You can freelance as a translator thus making more quids on the side.

Get to try on different personalities

You cannot be pigeonholed if you speak these languages. Hence, You can easily shift from one personality to another depending on which language you and your friends are speaking. You will have an all-rounded personality.

Opens up social and cultural opportunities

Speaking another language allows you to interact with different people and understand the perks of other cultures. This means that you have better chances to make friends, explore different ways of life and be able to blend with different lifestyles.

Improves problem-solving

Being multilingual in traditional languages can improve your brain functions like the ability to focus attention and perform mental tasks. Thus, people who speak more than one Nigerian language can process information more efficiently.

Help keeps you safe

Have you been in a dangerous situation in which you do not speak the same language with the people involved? Well, persons who are multilingual do not need to worry because their ability to speak and understand whatever they are saying can save you. However, do not be too hasty to respond because this can also be fatal.

First of all, our lingua franca is Pigin, not English. The indoctrination we got from Britain is the only reason Pigin takes the back seat like our various native languages.

1. The benefit of speaking our native language is that it would help you understand the linguistics of other languages.

2. It makes you a human being, since you can't claim to be a human being, if you don't have a language.

3. It qualifies you to beat your chest and say "I' am from so so ethnic group", because you can't seriously claim you belong to any ethnic group, if you don't speak their language.
