I think Spanish and French are similar because of the masculine and feminine nouns and pronouns.

Another factor to consider when learning a new language is the population, business and interest but business takes precedence.

I might be wrong, though.

They are similar not because of the masculine and feminine pronouns, they are similar because they both came from Latin

French is another widely spoken language after English. You will go places with it as you will have advantage over others if opportunities come your way in any french speaking country

As a hobby? Maybe yes, but if you are on the hunt for economic opportunities, better Spanish as the majority of Francophone countries are terribly poor. Besides, it is easier to learn Spanish than French. Also, the knowledge of Spanish helps in understanding Portuguese. So two languages in the bag. French is just too useless. Even Asians strive to learn English, not French. So why should an English speaker learn a language which most speakers are poor?

If you are in Unilag, Learn Chinese(Mandarin) language.
Other Universities, Major in French and minor in German.

I think Spanish is much better than Chinese.

While the knowledge of Chinese limits you to China and probably Hong Kong, there are a bunch of countries in South America and Europe that speak Spanish. Lest I forget, there are millions of Spanish-speaking US natives (Hispanics).

Yes, I learned Spanish in Barbados while in nursing school, and it helped in communicating especially when traveling through Brazil, and the Panama route but personally it helped my communication with fellow Spanish nurses. I don't know how it could benefit more in Nigeria but outside the country it is.
are you a nurse

Learn Russian. Although it might seem difficult for an English speaker but you can do it . This is my 14th month learning and speaking Russian; it’s best learnt when you’re among Russian speakers☺️

That's another angle. Italian and Portuguese came from Latin too but don't have that similarity.

That masculine and feminine sets them apart.

Are they speaking Spanish language in neighbouring African countries? No!

Equatorial Guinea is the only African speaking Spanish country in Africa.

I think French will be the best option since you can easily travel to neighbouring countries ( Benin, Cameroon, Cote de voire and Togo) for vacation, business, education, religion activities and so on.

French, Spanish, and German. Prioritise them.

If you have something seriously needed in Saudi Arabia, Dubai or Kuwait (you're a petrochemical engineer, teacher of English Language, etc), study Arabic .

You will thank God you did.
