Does from the south hide their language when they come to north, they don't even want you to learn. Because they want to use it as a tool for olofofo.

MrHowto:



There is only one major. 1 3 and 7 all cannot be major. Except when a question was asked list two major then you can add 7 and 3. And when the question is list 3 major then you can have 7, 3 and 1.



But when the question which 1 is D major language in Nigeria? You cannot list 3, it's Hausa alone

There is nothing like one major. If the federal government states that there are three then you can't say it's only one because you're Hausa. That is not only biased but immature. You can name more than one thing as major e.g "These are the major reasons..."

If this country is still suffering from tribal discrimination, how do you want those whites or asians to stop racial discrimination?

MrHowto:

You're wrong. Hausa is spoken more than English and pidgin combined. Pidgin is not even a language yet.

Pidgin is language and is spoken in many anglophone speaking countries in west Africa. Hausa no doubt is spoken but pidgin tends to be a lingual franca even though is hasn't being acknowledge in our laws

You can continue to argue. But what is major is major, if the country like let them add more major languages to make it 5. It still means nothing because Hausa is the major. That narrate of 3 major is to console you guys that are tribalistic in nature. Even the world recognize Hausa as the major and not both the 3 at same line.

Go kill yourself. But indeed it is.

This pathetic move must be stopped.
If we don't fight this, fulani's and hausa's will systematically and forcefully colonise the south and the entire Nigeria.
We must stop this.

So, BBC Hausa, VOA Hausa, DW Hausa and Chinese radio Hausa all want to colonise we southern Nigerians just because they have been broadcasting in hausa for many decades. Oga this your comment no hold water. Hausa language is the most spoken language in West Africa those broadcasting stations don't care about your tribalism mind.

Happigirl12:
We have three major languages in Nigeria. If one is used I think the other two should be used too. They are also among the most spoken languages in Africa.

It is not about Nigeria alone. Hausa language is spoken in most northern side of west africa

MrHowto:

this is the kinda reply you get when someone knows nothings and all he could do is pretend he does not get your abbreviated talks ��

Make dem no kari that one reach my TV. Oyibo own na em sweet pass

Let me coming into this with my little understanding about dis... I seem to understand somethings about this lang. tins

First of all about BBC Hausa and co... going back to history it was formed because most Hausa pple do not understand English. Not because of anything but because of lack of English comprehension.
As at Independence in 1960 there are more educated fellows in Yoruba than Hausa...

History solves a lot of things pls let us always read history

Now to the Hausa/Yoruba palava... there is a difference between "most spoken" and "most widely spoken". Also there is difference between "most spoken as first lang and most spoken as second lang.

In Nigeria Yoruba is the most spoken language as the first language in Nigeria which invariably says its the most spoken language in West Africa.
If we consider "speaking as second language".. which will combine both the population of pple speaking it as first and second lang.. then Hausa will be the most spoken lang in Nigeria and invariably in West Africa.
Many pple in the North have their first lang... we have fulfilde, Kanuri, etc

Now to most widely spoken. Hausa has it. Most Northern side of West Africa can be seen to have the Hausa tribe resident there.
Hausa is the most widely spoken lang in West Africa.


Like Chinese is the most spoken language in the World because of population. But the most widely spoken lang is English... it cut across many countries.

Finally... outside Nigeria... the Yorubas and Igbos are more popular than the Hausas because... these are the pple doing biz/travelling and who pple in other countries meet...

Fuckyoumod:
Hausa is the official language of illiterates, Buhari and his cows in the north.

So I can understand...

I hope you are seeing this.

Oritzy:

Bros stop fooling yourself, the way you go about this thing shows how sentimental and bitter you are.
first let me school you .
Not all northerner is an Hausa speaking tribe
French is widely spoken in Africa than Hausa that is found in just few states in one or two countries
Portuguese is spoken in Two African countries you didn't even mention those languages.

Have you even left the shores of the your north at all?

People outside Nigeria can relate to Igbo and yoruba far more than Hausa

You only have mouth because the north has a big land mass counting goats and cows as human being to boost your population.

My friend go and make a little research about this. If you go to Cameroun, Malo, Ghana, Togo, Niger, Chad, Sudan and even some parts of Libya you will see that a great chunk of their population speak Hausa. I havent seen a single nigerienne that doesn't speak Hausa as a second or 3rd Language. Here in Northern Nigeria majority of the minority tribes speak Hausa. Which language comes close to this?

Oritzy:
Bros stop lying now there Are no Hausa in Togo , ivory coast and Senegal. Thoae are what am sure of and why did you ommit Sierra lone from the Yoruba list, what about guinea bissau, do you know the Gan tribe in Ghana are also Yorubas?? Have you even asked why Shattta's first name is Wale??


Am a traveller bro. Am not arguing base on what I read I am telling you what I have seen. Maybe the Hausa in Togo are the Ewe's lol

Are you the one that kicked them out of those countries? I swear Nairaland is full of morons. Why can't you make a simple research?

All you wrote are false. Which Yoruba is the most spoken first language in Nigeria? Do you mean the same Yoruba people that speak English to their wards. Oga Hausa are more popular than any other ethnic groups in Nigeria. It is the only language in west Africa recognised internationally. Even most foreigners want to learn Hausa before any other language in Nigeria/West Africa.

My advise for any one that want to learn a new Language. Learn Arabic, English, Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese, Kiswahili and Hausa. If you can understand 3 to 5 of these languages, you are a hot cake.
