I've lived in the east for sometime, precisely between 2005/2006, but in my experience, I found it difficult to learn igbo language even when they are willing to teach me. Most of the words are difficult to repeat after them.
For instance, I've always heard that hausa language is very easy to learn and I don't doubt that, even though I've never really made an attempt to learn it. I've come across some hausa people in lagos, even lived with one and the truth is each time I tried to pick on some of their words, while they are talking, asking them for the meaning, it was never too difficult to say after them.
Now I've seen a lot of hausas speaking yoruba and a lot of igbos, among other tribes, speaking yoruba both one-on-one and in movies too although I used to think this was because most of them live in lagos, until my experience in the east. That was when I started thinking that apart from me being yoruba, yoruba language is easier to learn; hence its popularity among other tribes, and hausa language follow suit. Hardly seen another tribe speaking igbo.
What's your opinion on this?

How many years are you my senior?

How do you expect the U.S to have a leg-up, in fighting "FUTURE TERRORISTS", if they cant even speak their language!
How will "intelligence" produce result when you dont have you own "insider" speaking the language?

These are some of the lessons that were "learned" in Iraq, Afghanistan, e.t.c

At least now we know them, we can keep a better eye on them!

Exactly d situation

Dis may sound irrational but considering d way d notherners have always been hostile 2 other tribes living in their land on several ocasion (because of their religion) even b4 boko haram came wen many yorubas n igbos had 2 flee d north because of d killings, I think d hausas should be sidelined in dis practice of state of residence, if it must b. Let it b practised among other tribes of nigeria except d hausas, n mayb if it works out well, d hausas would b provoked into jealousy (serving as punishment 2 them) at d level of unity tht exist btw other tribes, n wanting 2 belong, they wil learn 2 live peaceably wit others n let go of their swords. But if sidelining d hausa tribe is seen by d lawmakers as dividing nigeria into two, then state of origin must continue.

agree or not; believe it or not; call him illusionist or not, and whether this is real or not should be determined, without sentiments, if u ever believed in a similar story before. In other words, if it was done by 1 before, why not with another regardless of whatever means, be it magic or whatever. Many of those who do not agree do so simply because the man is a magician and they are fighting for God because they believe He is against magic whereas they themselves are trying to make a magician out of God by the reason of the kind of miracle they are expecting from Him.
