There are so many benefits especially if you're based in that city ..... Speak Hausa to an Hausa and he/she will surely be happy with you and sell things very cheap for you even dash you things join As an Igbo chic, speak Igbo to an Igbo guy who's based in the North or elsewhere then you don enter one chance be that....he will cut your throat with price Speak Yoruba to a Yoruba person , the gist will take a new turn with plenty more gist to follow yet you will still buy at the actual price. No reduction even with all the gist and time #MyLittleFindings 4 Likes |

robosky02:The number of Igbo speakers alone is more than all of those put together... Not to talk of Hausa or Yoruba. |

ammyluv2002:Wow that's an eye opener. I never knew how other tribes treat people that can speak their language, but as an Hausa man, I concur with what you said. When I was in the south vendors would just package whatever they are selling and give us just for hearing us talking in Hausa. #Somuchlove 2 Likes 2 Shares |

First of all, our lingua franca is Pigin, not English. The indoctrination we got from Britain is the only reason Pigin takes the back seat like our various native languages. 1. The benefit of speaking our native language is that it would help you understand the linguistics of other languages. 2. It makes you a human being, since you can't claim to be a human being, if you don't have a language. 3. It qualifies you to beat your chest and say "I' am from so so ethnic group", because you can't seriously claim you belong to any ethnic group, if you don't speak their language. |

robosky02:Hausa, igbo and Yoruba are our major indigenous languages in Nigeria. A large part of the population speaks it so it would be beneficial to learn to the minorities ethnic groups to learn these languages. But again what stops others from learning the minorities languages? Are they saying that most persons from the minorities group don't have business that favours their own people too, take for example Ait is owned by an Edo man. If what op is driving out is because of job opportunities, then we have a long way to go in this country because those from the minorities will start emulating what the majorities are doing. Infant it has started already in most minority states e. g Edo state |

ammyluv2002:Absolutely correct. Igbo own worst, speak an igbo language to an average igbo person in an organization and watch them reply you in English language (Although not all persons but most of them exhibit this trait as observed by me). Yoruba is OK but Na gist upon gist as highlighted by you but not all of them |

musicwriter:Hmmmmm but officially it's English. There's something I noticed during advertisement on popular TV stations in Nigeria. Aside English, they advertised more using pidgin language as the message is spread across compare to the three indigenous languages. I begin to wonder why they do that since they claim we have 3 major tribes aside English language. Do you have an idea why it's so? |
Re: 7 Benefits Of Speaking Nigeria’s Three Major Languages by Nobody: 3:18pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
slyd90:Yeah your contribution as refuted what op is saying pertaining getting jobs. Infact as time goes by, the above highlighted wouldn't be in vogue when most persons start speaking the above languages 1 Like |

musicwriter:Our lingua franca is English not pidgin o and it was English we learnt first before corrupting it as Pidgin. I just pity us if we allow our major languages to take the back seat because if these major languages are not protected there's no hope for the language of the minorities be dat |

senatordave1: The sweetness of language is relative to the speaker shaa.. But I just think Hausa is like music to the ear.. My opinion though |
