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 22 Likes 2 Shares |

SwissMass: 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 28 Likes 4 Shares

Ezeama400: 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. 28 Likes 3 Shares |

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.. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Beremx: 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. 24 Likes 4 Shares

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!!! 2 Likes 1 Share |
