Yorubas don't always have to speak Igbo (although I'm quite sure many do), as long as someone somewhere can translate and transcribe the language (ie what was overheard via phone), it doesn't have to be a Yoruba person. Igbo speaking Yorubas tend to be low profile about it, as in folks might not realize they are multilingual. The google translate though, can it be worked on? |

selemempe: I don't think I gloated anywhere here. Just stating unemotional facts as I see it. Igbos don't have a monopoly on misfortune. It's a cross cultural Nigerian thing. One of the reasons I don't condone the "woe is us" attitude of the Igbos 2 Likes |

gidgiddy: There has never been a universally accepted Igbo leader who did not speak Yoruba. All your political leaders and even some military leaders in Old Eastern Region spoke Yoruba well. Azikiwe Mbadiwe Ibiam Achebe Ojukwu Nwachukwu. Some of the above spoke both Yoruba and Hausa, in addition to their Igbo ethnic dialect. I do not know of any Yoruba leader in Old Western Region that spoke Igbo. If any Hausa leader in Old North spoke Igbo I do not know that as well. I thought Obasanjo speaks Igbo, does he not? 3 Likes |

Well, how would there be many Igbo speakers among Yoruba or Hausa when the Igbo themselves are not really accommodating? In Yoruba lands, we have many Igbos and Hausas here who engage in one business to another, so it's a necessity for them to learn the language.. I'm not sure you can say the same about Igbo land. Same thing with Hausa land, we have many Yorubas who understand Hausa language and can speak fluently, this is because they are also accommodating.. I served in the South southern part of Nigeria, it's the closest we can put side to side with Igbo. Only I and others know the discrimination we faced as Muslims/ Hausa / Yoruba.. They don't really know about the culture of others. They think the world starts and ends in their abode. An average child in Akwa ibom state knows a mosque as "Hausa church", that's how unaccommodating they are. Now, who wants to be there to learn such language? 3 Likes |

Lol OP you have no point. The same reason English speakers don't go out of their way to learn other languages. Why? Cos English language is the winning language that takes you places. Yorubas dont need to learn Igbo because it doesn't benefit them. Igbos dont speak their own language, so why expect others to? If you don't love ur language, why expect anyone else to? 1 Like |

It shows that Igbos are not accommodating. They are not interested in teaching others Igbo Language unlike what an average Hausa and Yoruba will gladly do. Hausa and Yoruba will even ask and take time to teach you unlike the Igbos. ya mere na ndị mmadụ anaghị asụ asụsụ Igbo 1 Like |

This shows that in practical terms, only the Igbos practice "one Nigeria" within Nigeria. An Igbo man will go into a forest in Kebbi, settle there, learn the language of the local people within record time. Someone else will say he cannot go to Igbo land because they are not accommodating and their language is of no benefit to him. Yet the same person will carry "one Nigeria" like a loaded basket on his head far more than the Igbo man who is making far more effort to integrate. You say you are one with Igbos but cant say up to three words in the Igbo language, yet there are thousands if not millions of Igbos who speak your language You say you are one with Igbos but you can never go to a forest in Igbo land and settle, yet there are thousands of Igbos in the forests of your own land developing the place You say you are one with Igbos but you dont know anything about them or their culture, but the Igbo man knows much about your culture There are millions of Hausas and Yorubas out there, not up to 100 of them can speak Igbo. But there are millions of Igbos that can speak Yoruba or Hausa or even both This exposes the fact that Yorubas and Hausas only 'mouth' the ideology of "one Nigeria" but dont practice it |

Afospecialk:Igbo isn't synonymous with Chinese just say many yorubas don't like the language or they lost interest in learning it. One good thing about the igbos although not all, they easily adapt to the environment they find themselves. An average Igbo speaks the language of the locality than any other tribes. This has made them to penetrate many areas where others couldn't. |

asuustrike1: I learnt Igbo here in Yoruba land. Although I later forgot due to the fact that I lost contact with the people I used to speak with. But I can still remember some. I served in the north, but nothing interests me about the northerners. I refused to learn their language. Learning a language is very easy for me. |
