This is really good for people like me who is an advocate of native language you know….

In fulfillment of promised made last week when he visited Nigeria, the world most populous black nation, the social media giant, facebook founder, Mr. Mark Zuckerberge has added and Igbo and Yoruba languages to Facebook language options

Until now, it has been only Hausa Language included in Facebook Language options.

During his visit to Nigeria, Zuckerger said social media application currently allowed the use of Hausa language on Facebook.
He said: “I am glad we support Hausa and we are planning on supporting a lot more languages soon.”
Zuckerberg also expressed his willingness to work with local content providers in bringing Nigerian communities to the internet.
He said having local contents on the Facebook platform would ensure that more people were connected.

According to him, in the next 10 to 15 years, Facebook hopes to get everyone in the world connected online.

Checked this morning discovered Yoruba Language has also been added.
Yoruba language option on facebook has partially become functional, but Igbo yet to be. probably both are still on developmental stages.
But so far, so good, its a good omen for our local languages.

Some people will sleep well tonight

Most of the people asking for the native languages cant even read or comprehend them.
They just want it there so they can use it to gloat

Nija division is so thick.

Everyone still chats in English, so what's d point?

I only saw Hausa, no Igbo no Yoruba.

Just checked.....didnt see the yoruba and igbo.



But i did see pirates english, y'all should try it out

OP it's Igbo not Ibo. Even Facebook got the spelling right but fail an.

Mazi Mark! ibu ekwu eme
