Yoruba is the most liked and most influential African Language. And should be adopted as all african languagea

1. Yoruba, when spoken, sounds like music to the non native. So it a language that can help calm the nerve.

2. Yoruba language is very easy to learn. New learners can start speaking it just in days of learning.

3. Most influential African music are written in Yoruba.

4. When Yoruba speakers speaks, non speakers ussually feel its the original language of their great parents of African root.

5. Yoruba is spoken in the West African countries of Nigeria, Benin Republic, and parts of Togo, Ghana, Sierra Leone, parts of the Ivory Coast and the Gambia, therefore constituting one of the largest single languages in sub-Saharan Africa. Outside of Africa, Yoruba (Lucumi/Lukumi) is indigenous to Bahia in Brazil, Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago, and some parts of Jamaica—specifically Abeokuta. It is also the official language of the Yoruba descendants/people of "Oyotunji" village in the United States of America.

6. Yoruba is official language in some Brazillian states and municipalities. Yoruba vocabulary is also used in the Afro-Brazilian religion known as Candomblé, in the Caribbean religion of Santería in the form of the liturgical Lucumí language and various Afro-American religions of North America.

7. Yorubas are one of most accommodating, friendly and most spiritual people you can meet. They have the culture of respect, honesty and integrity (Omoluabi).

Yoruba should be adopted as the general spoken language of Africa

That's one good thing about the language. It's ORIGINAL and does not try to immitate any other language.

You as a person may not like the originality, but millions of other like the language for that single reason.

Language you mean? Why bringing Yoruba's noise to it?

In Africa, it's either Swahili or HAUSA.. period..

Seems like most Africans will prefer Swahili and Hausa, they are already the most spoken native languages in Africa

Hausa, and Swahili are the 2 most spoken languages in Africa , with many claiming Swahili to take the lead, but I disagree because of all the African countries I have been to, am yet to see people speaking Swahili the way HAUSA is being spoken.

Last country I was is Niger Republic, and I tell you I only blend in because I can speak Hausa, and the people don't speak English but French...

There is hardly any African country you go, and don't find Hausa speakers.

World renown media Houses in US, Britain, French, Germany etc have been transmitting in Hausa since before Nigeria Independence .

Why did you think the Hausas are usually vast in current affairs, and politics even with little education?? They are always glued to their transistor radio where they listen to world news, and events broadcasted in their mother tongue...

I do love Yoruba language like listening to their music, I thought that's how original and unique it is until I went for NYSC and camped with them.
My first day in camp, I saw two guys shouting on top of their voices, I intervened thinking it will lead to exchange of blows, only for me to be told, that they were exchanging pleasantries.

In the night in our hall, you need to sleep with noise canceller.
One voice of a Yoruba dude equals 40 of Okoros.

You don't need a trumpet to end the world, you know the right tribe that will whisper and the world will hear.

Lol, it shows how versatile the language is. You can even use it to sing reggae or opera, seriously.

True, the language is good for music.
Maybe every Yoruba should be walking with a talking drum.

This is not a Yoruba culture probably you are talking of igala people and eboes.
