Oh, come on, Igbo is spoken in more African countries in larger numbers than all Nigerian languages because of trade, yet I cannot honestly say Igbo is a lingua franca of Gabon, even if people greet 'Igwe' in Kenya because of Nollywood.

lmaooooo even igbo musicians are singing in Yoruba

To reach out to more African nations, you need Yoruba

lmaooooo

Obiagu1:

LMAO!
You know I got you there.

Got me where?

Ngga, your people are currently on BBCAfrica begging for BBCIgbo..... they must be illiterates too

Obiagu1:


Igbo can only be added when we become as illiterate as the Hausa and Yoruba.

or if we get Biafra and Igbo becomes an official language.

Igbos can only be added once the language stops dying

Extinct languages in Nigeria : Igbo

ezeagu:


Yoruba is a lingua franca of Ghana?!!! Don't make Ghanaians come and hear that one oh! LOL.

Yoruba is a lingua franca of Ghana how Igbo is a lingua franca of South Africa.

Yoruba is a language SPOKEN in Ghana....

Obiagu1:


Girl stop!
Simple google or wiki can help you.
Stop spinning what's obvious.

Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba are not and never have been official languages in Nigeria.

Which are the lies?

ArodeTsolaye:


Igbo is spoken in Eq. Guinea and recognized in their constitution as an official language. We didn't have to sell the highest number of slaves like the yorrobers did to achieve that in Eq. guinea. Ina nu m?

LMAOOOOO the Igbo language is dead in Eq Guinea as its dying in Nigeria

ezeagu:


What countries? Please don't say Benin or Togo.

Benin, Togo, Ghana, IVC, and Sierra Lione have Yoruba groups that speak Yorubas.....so yes son, I will say it.

Obiagu1:
No, they are not!

Yes they are.

Do you know several european countries now have Yorubas in their curriculum? Yoruba language classes. And more than 47 USA universities teaches Yoruba.

So once again, why should BBCAfrica ignore Yoruba?

More than 47 USA universities.

ArodeTsolaye:


[size=18pt]We don't understand yorober here in onitsha.[/size]

Teacher: 'Nneka Okafor'

Pupils: 'Obiaro'

Go find your imaginary chidozie friend.

We don't understand igbhoe in Yorubaland either.

But the world is trying to understand and spread the Yoruba language

ezeagu:


[size=18pt]Swahili is a lingua franca for a diverse people in east Africa[/size], many of which do not speak English much. The same for Hausa. BBC is looking for ways to spread their influence so they'll spend their money on things which can which is why "A TV service will be added to the existing service for Somalia." Does an emerging country like Vietnam, miles ahead of probably the whole of Africa have a BBC Vietnam?

Yoruba is a lingua franca of more than 3 west african countries.

Yoruba is one of Africa's most widespread languages.

So stop yarning dust.

Africans and slavery. I'd rather preservation of my language than English.

Obiagu1:



Swahili is an Official Language in many countries just like English and French.

Yoruba and Hausa is one Nigeria's official languages.

Africa's most widespread languages.

Africa's most priced languages.

Obiagu1:



Swahili is an Official Language in many countries just like English and French.

Yoruba and Hausa are also Nigeria's official languages.

Africa's most widespread languages.

Africa's most priced languages.

nwanlecha:
Lol! I don't see it that way though. If they decide to broadcast in Yoruba, it's a good thing 'cus it will help promote their culture just as they've been doing for years now with the Hausa service. I hope you know it's not a thing of pride to value English more than your own language?

Good girl

Don't worry, your brothers are just yarning dust for now. They know what this means, so they'd rather talk trash here and beg on BBCAfrica

Musiwa419:
The idiot that you quoted had is secondary education in Ibadan, he speaks Yoruba language fluently more than his own dying ibo language

lmaoooo na him go jam the radio more than Yorubas sef

ArodeTsolaye:

Here in the east, i hardly hear Igbo school children speak english but they still thrash yoruba children in national and international academic competitions. Igbo language is VERY MUCH ALIVE than you think.
Teacher: 'Nneka okafor! '
Pupils: 'Obiaro'

There in the East, Igbo language is dying.

Igbo people even speak Yoruba more than some Yoruba people.

So why should BBCAfrica ignore Yoruba?

There's another Yoruba radio station that Gani just started airing...... and you're telling me I shouldn't be happy that someone is reviving and spreading my language?

ezeagu:


Do Swahili speakers in French countries like the Comoros and DRC understand English? What about the millions of people who speak little to no English like even in Nigeria, evidently.

Swahili is one of the widely spoken languages and one of the most studied languages all over the world, that's one BBCSwahili exists.

BBC Hausa
BBC Swahili
BBC Yoruba
BBCPidgin


Pidgin is also spoken by lots of SWern Africans, no?

Get the drift?

ArodeTsolaye:


yorubas are inferior and they know it. Explains why Igbo is the S.I unit to measure relative superiority for them. lol

Yorubas are superior and you can only try to catch up to them.

Yorubas are silent giants and pacesetters.



BBCAfrica knows that no one is gonna listen to BBCIgbo

Don't worry, you can count BBCPidgin as an Igbo own.

ArodeTsolaye:


What do you expect? when yorober and foolery is like bread and butter.
They couldn't see through the real issue before jumping for 'victory over Igbos'.

Oil prices are plummettng.There is no more free oil money for osun, oyo and the rest to pay waec fees. Demographics also show that yorubers are the least educated in the south. They have the lowest cutt off after the illiterate north.

Now a simple test, what do these group of people have in common?-

Hausas,
Somalians,
Eritreans, and now
Osun, Oyo and co

1. ) illiteracy?
2.) poverty?

The British are trying save them from having a 100% almajiri situation, yet they think they won one over the Igbos.

Actually this is a victory over Igbo's dying language.

Igbo is restricted to SE Nigeria, and even then, they've acculturated themselves with pidgin and Yoruba language.

Yoruba is not only spoken in English, it's even being taught in USA/Europe, so why should BBC ignore Yoruba?

Tell me why igbo people are crying on BBCAfrica about not having BBCIgbo?

Obiagu1:


[size=18pt]Organisations don't waste money on irrelevant programs,[/size] they are not charities!

They transmit on Official Languages only, but when the Official Language is not understood by millions of people they intend to reach out to due to mass illiteracy, they transmit in a second language.

Hausa language program has been the only non-official African language program on the BBC for years due to their inability to understand Nigerian Official Language, English.
Now Yoruba has been added to the list.

Not a good sign, girl.

So Swahili people don't understand English? So Swahili people are illiterate?

Do you see how foolish you sound?

Musiwa419:
My sister, go to the twitter page of BBCAfrica. The ibos have started to ask for theirs

Lol they're pretending here on NL but whining on BBCAfrica?


Here are the BBC Languages I know:

BBC Hausa

BBC Swahili

Now Yoruba has joined

Obiagu1:


No it's not.

BBC programs are done in Official Languages as well as second languages where there are mass illiteracy and inability to understand Official languages like Hausa and Yoruba.

So BBC that speaks English suggest that English speakers are illiterate?

That you don't preserve your language or take pride in it kills your language itself. That's the igbo language's undoing.

So what will you say when BBC Igbo comes out in 10 years time?

WIZGUY69:

. iya agba!

You won't believe I don't even know the meaning of abiama, is it their god?

LOL ko matter. Yorubas don't pay attention to dead languages.

ezeagu:


Who is consoling who? [size=18pt]This thread has nothing to do with Igbo people[/size] but every comment is in reference to Igbo people revealing massive insecurity.

Then gerrarahia!

StOla:


That is what happens to a cry cry baby.

Everybody gets a chance to mock such emotional wailers.

They cried about MNET not having an Igbo TV station, while in another breath they claimed that Africa Magic actually shows more of Nollywood movies which they dominate.

[size=18pt]They cried about BBC having Hausa language station, forgetting that Hausa like Yoruba is an international language not limited to just a tribe in Nigeria, but an international tribe across West Africa. They even claimed the legitimate and civil toned BBC Hausa service is enough justification to have a pirate radio that advocates for national terrorism and anarchy.
[/size]

They are now crying over infrastructural development in the East, while also claiming that the Eastern region is more developed than the North and the West.

Do you now understand why emotional cry babies are always mocked with their own duplicitous wailings?

It won't be long before they surprise you with cries of this marginalization on this very plan by the BBC. But like the Igbo that you are, you have not surprised us either. BBC is petty now until they have an Igbo language station, right?

The same way the Nobel prize in Literature is an irrelevant award as already alluded to by many Igbos here, until an Igbo finally win it, right?

Very predictable clansmen.

Our resident chestbeaters think Yoruba is spoken only in Nigeria.

WIZGUY69:

LMAOOOOOOOO!!!!

[size=18pt]Why can't you guys tell this to Benin Republic[/size] and Boko Haram? And don't forget Fulani marauders. They're currently hammering you from all sides. Thanks.

Igbo women picked up cassava sticks and whooped the British and their minions back to their island. Anioma people whooped the British ass for 20 years before Hausa soldiers were used to subdue them. Nnamdi Azikiwe is the hero of Nigerian Independence.

Are Biafrans fighting with Benin Republic now?

Igbo women are still in Nigeria nau......

*FAINTS*

ezeagu:


30 years of fighting to lead to Nigeria's independence. The world powers had to combine to keep the Igbo in Nigeria, and they're trying to get out again now. You might have heard.

When were you fighting to lead Nigeria's independence? I keep hearing about the world powers, but they were trying to be humanized during the war. You wonder why it took one man, awolowo, to strategize and end this war? Should there be a war today, there will be no mercy. Technology has evolved beyond cassava sticks and AK-47.

Musiwa419:
how has bbc hausa service, using your own word, 'further programmed the mind' of the hausa folks up north 'in a form of neo colonisation' ?

IlekeHD:

How has radio Hausa brainwashed the Hausas?

Thumbs up!

superstar1:


It is really not a great news because it will end up being a tool for mind conditioning and further programming of the minds of the blacks, in a form of pseudo-colonialisation.


The pros are that it will keep propagating the language, promoting our rich culture and heritage our forefathers handed down to us. It will alos give us an international pedestal to tell our story in our own way.

How has radio Hausa brainwashed the Hausas?
