Too much of Pentecostal churches is also a major hindrance to language development in Nigeria... 80% of Pentecostal churches in Nigeria preaches in English...
it's only Catholic, Anglican and Methodist are otherwise especially here in the East

Hausa is the must simple and easiest language to learn.

But i am not happy how it makes other languages go extinct.

Hausa is not responsible for that; the original speakers of those other languages are responsible

Many north central(middle belt) states are gradually replacing their languages with Hausa some more by accident than by intent.

Especially states like Plateau, Kogi, Niger, Nupe tribes etc. They all wanna feel sophisticated speaking Hausa. Hausa is actually sweet to d hearing tho.
