Donzie being the exception as he supposedly lived in Lagos for a few years and never knew what "oniranu" was until 2 weeks ago.

Boogles my mind that such people exist.

Stop arguing over things that are easy. I lived in Lagos myself along with many other Igbos, I do not speak Yoruba. I know alot of Igbos who have lived in the North shorter than I have lived in Lagos, they all speak Hausa.

Infact ask anyone who speaks multiple Nigerian languages, they'll tell you, it's not even an argument, the easiest language to learn is Hausa.

How would you know? Have you ever tried learning either one? Silly people!

who was disputing Hausa?

well i have tried and since jss2 the only thing i can remember is Onyiochi Oyinra onyeberibe- i just hope that has a meaning

babyoshi ---> Ewu

who was disputing Hausa?

I wonder what point you were trying to make by backing up someone who was disputing Hausa.

where was he disputing Hausa?

He just said Yoruba seemed easy for people he knew. Didnt say it was the easiest now did he?

He was saying that in opposition to what I said about Hausa. . .Go figure.

Most of those Igbos were probably born in Lagos anyway so why wouldn't they be able to speak Yoruba? Just like Edo is easy for some of my friends who were born in Benin.

The ones I'm speaking of were not born up North, they migrated there at age 15,16,20's. . .they speak Hausa fluently!

yea Donz cos everyone lives to oppose your views


Egomaniac!

That's the way it often is!

anyway what does onyiochi mean?

This is why Igbo is the most difficult to learn. . .It's onye oshi, a thief!

I think it is Hausa cause I served in the north for 1 year and could speak some when I came back though I am losing it now. Igbo?? requires a lot of energy to speak and Yoruba has a lot of intricacies the signs, the tones you must get it right.

l think the easiest is Hausa l stayed there during my primary and Secondary school.Hausa is written the way it is pronounced. Igbo languaga is also easy but some vowels and consonants do swallow themselves and some will become silent. For Yoruba ehh No go area.

ibibio is the most romantic and easiest lanquauge to learn

It is a known South Eastern myth that Ibibio and Efik women are the most romantic and down to earth women,have never heard that about the language though.
It sounds way too nasal to be easy.
During my grandpas time,"Calabar women" were the desire of many Igbo men.
They were said to be great in the kitchen and "fantastic" every where else.

For europeen people every one of the native languages is absolutely hard to learn. In Europe it gives only a small amount of letters which you build in the throat. But all the native languages have lots of them . For Yoruba i know for example that i could live over years in nigeria and native speakers would hear the different by `"gb" Its not possible for me to pronounce it well. the same like africans can`t pronounce "ü". They need many years for it. And to learn a language means to live with the people because to learn it only from books doesn`t mean anything.

Yoruba is the easiest language 2 learn.

Yoruba is the easiest language 2 learn.

Yourba is the easiest language to learn.

hausa first, follow by yoruba, and igbo is at the bottom of the list.

They're all easy to learn.
it all depends on how you socialize with people that speak it

there's hausa on bbc what about igbo and yoruba.

pidgin english

Pidgin followed by Hausa.

babu wahala

Hausa.

YOUNGDICE$:

there's hausa on bbc what about igbo and yoruba.

That is because the Igbos and Yorubas can understand the regular BBC.

no that's because the british cannot stand the igbo and yoruba language.

let me tell you something you may not like to hear@youngdice
The British regarded Hausas the least intelligent of the three major tribes,easier to manipulate,will not ask questions and sell their country for even a plate of gworo.
There are well documented articles on this.

They could not stand Igbos and Yorubas because they were obviously better educated and more likely to read between the lines.
The Hausa were said to have signed papers they couldn't even read.
The Oyinbo man preferred to deal with them.
