Even though it seems inevitable but why do you get so cocksure about it? Don't you have the slightest sense of culture and history at all? Nawao, so you just dey enjoy this cultural/language appropriation by the almighty English Language. I love the language though but not so much as to wanting my language/our languages to go extinct.

Indigenous languages will die off and that cannot be stopped.

1. Hausa
2. Yoruba
3. Igbo
4. Fula
5. Kanuri
6. Efik-Ibibio

10 languages will survive in Southern Nigeria and 14 (i.e. minus Yoruba) in Northern Nigeria.

I agree with you about Yoruba and Hausa but Igbo are seriously lacking in that department.

In fact many see it as a badge of honour or a sign of sophistication that their child can’t speak Igbo.

They are happier to see their child speak perfect English than even one sentence of Igbo

Pathetic!

This, I am sure, is what Paul and Peter of P-Squared are like.

uglodoh:

Do not be surprised if Davido and Wizkid children can speak the language. Yoruba and Hausa languages are the only languages that may not easily go into extinction especially because of their high illiteracy level.
Many rich folks here in Lagos contract Yoruba teachers to teach their children at home. The parents communicate with the children in Yoruba although some of the children answer back in English.

High illiteracy level among Yoruba?
Seems you've always lived outside Nigeria, Aunty

Personally there's no Yoruba spoken around me I can't hear even though I haven't been to The South West before.

Individual level of assimilation differs, some think I'm Yoruba but if I tell them I'm Igala they will calm down...

I think we can easily hear but can't speak fluent Yoruba like the Yorubas and Okun does.

Note:
There's no Yoruba spoken around me that I won't hear but I'd rather reply you back in English language
All my Lagos driver's in my line of business speak Yoruba to me likewise some customers, sometimes I fell like being blunt.'Emi Oshomo Yoruba' but since I can hear them I just remain calm.

That’s fine but it’s nice when people try to unite on common/shared ground rather than letting tribalism get in the way and refusing to admit that there’s beautiful diversity in every corner of the country.

The way you've spoken here shows you need to be schooled somewhere with fasting and prayer.

In the first place, what is tribalism? Why is the term in your mouth and why do you see yourself in an environment where it can occur? Why is there no tribalism in the Western world but you have it in Nigeria? My friend, you have been zombified to think in a predetermined way so that it is easier to use you without tethering you.

As far as I'm concerned, every human is my neighbour and deserves my respect. I have no reason to discriminate against any human whatsoever neither should I be made subservient to anyone no matter what. The first task of every human is understanding who they are and how should they live their life within the boundaries of liberty ordained for them by God Who must remain the first in their life. The second task is love your fellow humans as yourself irrespective of who they are. That kind of your darling country doesn't help to facilitate those things. Outside, those two things, you will live the way some people want you to live and serve them till you leave the planet.

You see God made me a Yoruba man, put me in Yoruba land and surrounded me with all that I need to live a fulfilled life and satisfy the desire of God. Let me tell you no matter how much you gain from today's politics, you are a defeated creature juts like a caged animal. Finish! Germans have the best of life in Germany, the French live like in paradise on their own soil, and the English reign in England. Their cultures are thriving, their languages are spreading across the world to conquer more lands exonomically and politically. They don't think in a mother tongue and then struggle to translate or interprete in a foreign language like you and I do - the Chinese, the Japanese, the Arab, the Koreans, even the the Israelis and many others are not subject to the virus that put tribalism anthem in your mouth. They are free and developed, and are not on japa mode like you and other members of different nations fused together as Nigeria.

If you think you are going to gain anything from the current political dispensation in Nigeria and fail to open your eyes and think differently, please think of your unborn descendants who will definitely curse you tomorrow, because what you refuse to know they will know and they will not wish you well for failing to maintain a difference. Your fulfilment is in your own natural identity, language, culture, and land. Nations can come together and form a partnership, federation, confederation, or whatever you wish to call it, where they all derive mutual benefits but not like the albatross on your neck called Nigeria.

As it is today, you are a slave in the 1999 constitution-operated system called Nigeria.

Being proud of who you are, keeping your identity with dignity and not being a dumb wannabe (who thinks by not speaking your mother tongue or any Nigerian language makes you "civilised" or "cool" ) makes you a more valuable black person in general.

Bless you for this. I don't undestand what it is with the mordern age Nigerians that only speak english to their kids and totally neglecting their own language. Only God knows how they spread the stupid mentality that your child will speak bad english if you continue to speak your native language to the child.

The whites really fuked with the black man's brain, to the extent that blackman wants to lose his complete identity. As for me, I speak and write yoruba fluently with a little bit of hausa. All my kids will bear Yoruba names and will understand at least 1 Nigerian fluently.

IJAW but I hear little yoruba and Edo .

I watch youruba movies alot

I will love to learn how to speak Hausa too I love that language I call it the big boys language 😉

I love it when they use words like Tor, Magana

LOL , you are very funny. I don't know where you're from but one thing I can tell you is that
Y oruba isn't dying in the next 50 years , neither is Hausa or Igbo . Check the data on the number of people who speak each of these languages and check the data on the languages that have phased out with the past century .... Do you know how many people will have to die within the next 50 years for any of these languages to " die" according to you .

Your comment reeks of self hate , you can speak english all you want but that won't make you an english man . So come to terms with reality and stop all the nonsense colonial mindset.

By the way , show the data source of 80% of Nigerian youths speaking "English only "

Yeah, very good at it, even when we talk on video call or normal WhatsApp call, I use the language, Belmira speaks English very well but we don't communicate in that, we rather communicate in Portuguese, that's what helped me build up.

My bro that's studying history and international relations, I'm the one teaching him these 3 languages.

Learning languages is very good, Romelu Lukaku speaks 9 international languages or so and that's very good for him.
