I heard this last 25yrs ago. Reno hate and his asslicking will not allow him see or hear that Igbo language dominate gospel music in Africa. Igbo Language is the language of business in Nigeria. Yoroub language is in those counties because they have aborigines who are historical yorouba migrant. |

kettykin: Leave mumu people to keep mumuring up and down...You hardly see an Igbo musician, use Yoruba in his music, especially Igbo hip pop artists. But Yoruba musicians will always use one or two Igbo phrases in their music. They many, Simi, Teni, Yemi Alade, Davido, Adekunle Gold etc. The undisputed truth is, apart from Hausa in the north. The most widely spoken language in Nigeria is Igbo. I have my reasons. 1) There are more Igbos in South South and other regions of the country than there are other tribes in other regions. 2) Owing to business, education, religion and tourism. An average Nigerian have come in contact with more Igbos than other tribes outside his own. 3)Igbos high standards of living, domineering nature, makes other people try to know one or two Igbos words. Some claim they learn Igbo words so as to know when Igbos wants to outsmart them in business transaction. 4) Today there are many Igbo skit makers and comedians in the content creating Industry than other tribes. Both on Facebook and TikTok. They use Igbo more often to bypass Facebook ban and Facebook community standards... because they have discovered that there's money on social media. 5)The Christian religion in Nigeria are dominated by Igbos, and an average Christian church all over Nigeria use Igbo worship/Gospel songs every Sunday So tell me how the language will die Reno Omokri himself understand many Igbo words than Hausa and Yoruba words. 7 Likes |

Odin13: You will never speak sensibly even if you live to age 500. What concerns Yorubas with this when ordinary commonsense a ten year old should possess tells us that a people consistently raising generations after generations away from their traditional domain stand little change of preserving their language and culture? As things are going, more Igbos will speak Yoruba, Hausa and the languages of nations like Ghana and Cameroon in futurw than the Igbo language because of Igbos ‘go anywhere and live anywhere, refugee nature. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

If you land in Onitsha today, just by speaking Yoruba language, you dont even have to be Yoruba, na so Ibo girls go rush you, flirting and giggling. When Ibo go home for holidays girls no believe they are from Lagos. So they test them to speak Yoruba. If he pass test, na everyday pussy till he leave town.

If he is thinking it is Ibo, then he is wasting his time. Ibo language is now being concretized in their music, folklore and movies. Ibo-teaching schools and blogs are popping up all over US, Canada, and Europe.. Even kids born in the US, and Europe to Ibo parents and have never visited Nigeria but speak Ibo, go to youtube tiktok and see them. Reno will re-incarnate as a rat in year 2503 and be disappointed that Ibo is the major language of trade in the area around the Niger and benue. 1 Like |

abdeefggh: Name five Igbo hip pop artists in Nigeria and five of their songs with Yoruba lyrics Igbos scattering all over the country no mean they will throw away their language and speak that of the locals. There are Igbo communities in Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Benue, Cross River, Delta, Edo States...and they also speak the language and other Igboid dialects In Benin City, Asaba, Warri, PH, Lagos etc Nigerian Pidgin English is the language of Communication. There's no Igbo city or town where Pidgin English is widely used for communication. You must learn and understand Igbo. Unless you are just there for business or on a short trip I know three current State governors outside Igbo land that clearly speak and understand Igbo language. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

abdeefggh:You are the delusional one. Its a normal thing for igbos to learn other peoples language and still retain their language. It's Even worse up north, yet, igbo children born up north speak better igbo than those born in other places in Nigeria. Yoruba dominate Nigerian secular music, igbos dominate gospel music. Igbos has been scattering since 1930, yet, the one outisde igbo land defend their heritage than those at home. |
