After English language and pidgin language, what Language Is Most Spoken In Southern Nigeria and states where they are spoken ?

At the topic, the most spoken language in Southern Nigeria is pidgin language, spoken by majority of southerners, then English langue then followed by Igbo language spoken in 7 states and beyond, then Yoruba llanguage spoken in five core Yoruba states.

I created this thread in reaction to those that think they can catch up with Igbos in language spread by adopting their local language in Alausa..

This is one of the reason that gave rise to mid West agitation in 60's where they exhibited their bigotry with archaic and ridiculous law

Broken English, Yoruba and Igbo.

Point of correction, Igbos are not refeguess in Lagos because I have never seen where refeguess are living in a good house while the owner of the so called land is managing tents..

Check the percentage of people living in a good house in Lagos compare it with your kinsmen that dominated huts in Mushin, agege and iyanipaja

Keep deceiving yourself...Meanwhile @ your post........


Is it not because of refusals of Igbos in Lagos to blend with you in culture and langue that is causing problem in Lagos ?

You hardly see Igbos speak Yoruba in Lagos except few Igbos that are in Yoruba dominated areas, that why you hardly see anybody speaking English language in places like Agoor, Ajao Estate, Festac, Isolo, Amuwo Odofin, Abulado, Ejigbo some parts of Sululere, In fact Yoruba language is going into extinction in Oshodi/Isolo areas. ...,people in these areas communicate with Igbos more than even English language as if they are in the east, and Yoruba language is almost into extinction in the aforementioned places.. They communicate with Igbos in the market and other places..

This is why your people are bitter towards Igbos, at a point SW people started feeling insecured and dominated because Ibos refused to mix with you.. Places like Leekki and and some parts of island that is dominated by Igbos communicate in English for obvious reason including some few yorubas in those axis as well..

Igbos are not minority tribe that will easily bled due to environmental factor.. They must stick to their culture and belief no matter what.. Any Ibo man you see speaking Yoruba is a thing of choice, not conditional.. Learn how to travel to learn some things and quit lies..

U can lie for Africa

You are the bigoted one lout!!! Yoruba is mostly dpoken in the west, middle belt and south south - Edo, Delta. Even in southeast many igbos speak yoruba as evidence of having lived in Lagos. Igbo is a language threatened by extinction.

Pidgin of course

Oga Lateef which kind lie be this na? Yoruba mostly spoken in SS? Who told you Igbo people who have lived in Lagos speak Yoruba in the SE? I speak Yoruba fluently but I have never spoken it outside Lagos. Who do I need to communicate Yoruba language in my state of Imo?

That guy is very daft.. There is a reason why I don't want to reply him.. I don't even know where to start curing his ignorance.. He even said I am from South East, meaning that every Ibo man on nairaland is SE..

Apart from Five Yoruba states, others speak mixed language...
Core 5 Ibos State communicate with Igbo alone.. while SS communicate with pidgin language and Ibo in some cases

One clown said that all Igbos in Lagos speak Yoruba..

The itshekiri and Urhobo have yoruba origin, same with Benin and Ijaws living in these areas. I have seen igbo speaking yoruba in the east to deceive other igbos who have not gone to southwest before.

How do you now proof to them that you’ve been to Lagos?

In another news, Yoruba is a language that is bigger than Africa. Even in Nigeria, you have Yoruba speakers in Kwara, Kogi, and Niger who run into several millions.

In Africa, you have countries that speak Yoruba. In South America, you have countries that speak Yoruba, and etc.

Igbo should go and compete with Ijaws. Yoruba language is bigger than Africa.

You created a thread to lament about Yoruba people trying to promote their language in their state? Who do you Ibo people like this?

Below is Igbo language made compulsory for student in your own land. Even tho that school is a federal school, how many Yoruba have you seen opening senseless thread to wail?

u igbos should rest now

Even if this guy dey pepper u well calm down



Emeka forming aisha

More Igbos speak Yoruba than Yorubas speak Igbo.

In fact, Yorubas who can speak Igbo without any form Igbo ancestry are almost neglible.

All hail piiiggs...

If only language can solve the problems in Nigeria

Our dynamic languages use to be our strength in the past but now...

I don't hear the french or other language speaking countries ask these questions

They make rooms to accommodate you no matter who you are or where you are from

Many of them do not have half of the resources we have in this country and they cater properly for their citizens and non citizens

They always thinks of ways forward through forward thinking conversations

But here, we keep allowing minions to divide us along the religious, politics and ethnic lines

It is well!!!

Preach to your fellow clansman that created this thread. You people think about yoruba all day, no wonder you have to forge results and NYSC certificates to gain employment. Too much fugazi activities coming out of your region.
