Their official language is mandarin which is fourth on the list.

Mandarin and spanish are amazingly highly spoken..there are more speakers of each of these two languages than english.

Guten Nacht

Thank God I used the first month of the ASUU strike to learn German.
Unlike the stupid ones who sit at home watching movies, doing irrelevant things and blame ASUU for all their life woes.

Re: Foreign Languages That May Help You In Business by bjseun: 11:32pm On Nov 03, 2013
Good post op
That should send a msg to Nigerian grads & intending grads on the importance of languages in jobsearch.e.g if you're a job seeker,who says you MUST stay here? You might stand a good chance of being hired by a multinational in a Francophone country around if you can speak French & English languages...
You need an edge,& a foreign lang could be one.
For Nigeria,think French & Mandarin top d list
God bless.

When next you buy your electronics or auto spare parts,come back here and ask that bad belle question.

You are the type of person guys ji egbuto.. wink..and you cant hide cos those traders you ignore speak fluent hausa,yoruba,ashanti even french and spanish and mandarin.
