Time for the usual "vote for my tribes superiority" thread.

We clearly know the answer is Hausa.

if you talking in terms of the population of Yorubas and that of Hausas, then it might be Hausa. but i think overall, more Nigerians speak/understand Yoruba including some Hausas and Igbos

There's no way Yoruba and Hausa compete in Nigeria. Yoruba is spoken strictly in south western Nigeria by one ethnic group, where as Hausa is spoken among different ethnic groups all over the north and north central.

Yes, but that part of the country also has the largest city by far, where many migrants have learned the native language.

I still think it's Hausa though.
