tpia, very true.

i met a lady both she and her husband are igbo. but they only talk in yoruba. very interesting, when you see them, you'd know that they are igbo but they don't speak in igbo.  she say something in igbo to me though. they both have igbo names. she told me they grew up in Lagos.

very shameful

I guess it depends on different circles. I have some relatives like that too. They either speak English or Yoruba to each other. They only speak their language when discussing with their parents or relatives from home. People just get more comfortable speaking the language they interact with in social settings like school, church, etc, maybe.

Then again, different dialects may also be a factor, because some dialects could be relatively mutually unintelligible even though the speakers might be from the same tribe. If neither of them was taught the standard version of their languages when they were young. Some diasporan Yorubas may have that problem too, since the kids grow up learning the parents dialects and not the standard Yoruba.

How about sauron?
He can't even speak Yoruba  
doesn't understand pidgin  
didn't he grow up in Lagos?

Sauron grew up in Eritrea. You wonder why his head is too big?

that's funny. I know quite a few non-Yorubas in lagos and elsewhere who speak fluent Yoruba- some are more comfortable speaking Yoruba than their own languages.

If Tiv man is speaking yoruba to you because you are yoruba, it doesn't mean he is not comfortable with his own language because that will be rude since you don't understand his language. Do you speak yoruba to oyibo people when you meet them?. Will the oyibo people claim you are not comfortable speaking yoruba language?

osisi, you think so? i don't because we are not in nigeria. even me sef, na english i dey blow for dad and mom

they are really nice pple. their families she said lived in Lagos.

i like them a lot. she can speak Igbo very well. i guess they like it. not my problem so i can't tell them what to do.

Lol this is true, almost to the point that even if a person isny Yoruba but once they say I was raised in Lagos, I pretty much EXPECT them to know the language and majority of them do.

and why shld they leave us alone? Haba dont limit our chances.

Lmao osisi

No one told you to have such a hard language

and why shld they leave us alone? Haba dont limit our chances.

There should be resource control in man sharing in Nigeria, don't you think so?. Before a Yoruba man will allowed to marry an igbo woman, the woman must be a tax paying resident in yorubaland for a minimum of ten years and have no history of any crime.

Are you Tiv, Hausa, Egbira or igbo?

American Latina

It all depends where you brought up.I have met hausa guys that where born and brought up in owerri that can speak the owerri dialect of igbo more than me an igbo boy that grew up in owerri.One nigerian social critic Safinatu Mohhamed can speak the enugu dialect of igbo more than here native yoruba because she was born and brought up in enugu.

Omoge is pretty much every tribe in Naija.

I no understand the girl's blood sef

Yoruba men
Igbo women
What's wrong? if you are a yoruba woman and yoruba men are running from you marrying other tribes, it's not their fault, it's you ok? go ask grandma for villa why it's so.

Gbam. If you grow up in the streets of Paris, you will start speaking French more than the French people. Your accent may be the only issue . Most igbos i see that speak Yoruba do not need to tell me their name before i realize they are igbos because their accent is different. In America, African American kids know kids that have African parents, not from their names but the faint accent that is embedded in their American accent.  As long as you are bilingual, your accent will be unique. Most igbos that grew up in lagos don't speak yoruba but they may understand it but not those that grew up in Abeokuta or Ibadan and the case is the same for yorubas that grew up in Sokoto, they speak hausa more than the hausa. Does that mean they don't like their own language?

Ruby pearl is Ibibio, I think. She is one of those eastside women that are on the prowl for our men. Lucabrasi and Bawomolo are the two most popular target of theirs but we won't let them pluck them away, not for free.

look, what part of my posts dont you understand? Where did I say a non-Yoruba is speaking Yoruba because I'm in the vicinity?

I must say very few people understand your thought process because from posts like these, one has to wonder if you're typing while drunk.

And why are you getting bent out of shape at the thought of other tribes speaking Yoruba to each other? Like i said, it depends on the circle people grew up in and move with. Geddit? If you know of Yorubas who grew up in Enugu, who also speak fluent Igbo, then simply state the fact that you observed so. End of story.

My pidgin is flawless. . . . .ask EarTHmama when i was pimping her ass for Onitsha traders.
