I get your point but the difference in Yoruba is in accent not meaning like in Igbo. The Yoruba moved from a central place and trace themselves back to same origin unlike in Igbo where some are not even ethnically Igbo but you lump them up as Igbo because they are located in South East. These groups ,like the Igala in Anambra, Enugu etc, even tell the whole world that they are not Igbo.

The Yoruba are significantly monolingual and monocultural

martineverest:
most Edo north surnames starts with 'osho'

santaclaws:
Yoruba language is fast becoming Nigeria's most popular language...

The Yoruba land is gifted not just for its own people, but for the acceptance of others. I hope politicians and die-hard tribalists won't tear us apart as Nigerians.

God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬

SQLmastar:
Yoruba is the de facto official language of Nigeria. Spoken by 65.66% of the population. It should become adopted as the 2nd official language.

Other languages spoken in Nigeria are irrelevant. They should be jettisoned.

Until when it's time for elections.

Where do idiots like you and LeonSaab get your statistics from?

If an Igbo had said this, you people would have been foaming in the mouth. Nobody except Yorubas speak Yoruba. Few Yorubas speak other languages the way few people from other places speak Yoruba

HeadNigga:
Hmmm...this is what gets oba of Benin angry. If he speaks now one Lagos oba will retaliate. CAF, osimhen is an Edo boy... typing that thing in Yoruba suggests he is yoruba but he is not.

Type am for pidgin instead...

Isobug:

Incorrect......Oshomole nko? Oshomona nko?

I know Asisat Oshoala is Yoruba though

That's the link to a 2022 write up by an Indian based publication on India Africa trade relations....the magazine itself is a diplomatic attache to India foreign ministries across the world so you can't say I went and edited like Wikipedia....like I said earlier I'm here for you.....just admit you're a ignorant and your education can begin.

Gamesmart:


Reeetard is using evidence of an unknown Indian publication against Nigerian Immigration data and Indian government data, which put the figures around 40K.

Your stupidity is the opposite of Einstein's intelligence!

Guy, keep quiet. Every Nigerian language is a representative of Nigeria. If tomorrow they type Fulfulde, irhobo, Igbo or even Alago it's all the same.

Purely low IQ statement!

Same in UNIBEN. Unless they tell you their surname, you wouldn't know their ancestry is not Yoruba.

Lagosian Igbo's for the most part hang around their fellow Lagosian Yorùbá's. In fact, they solely speak Yoruba to other Yorùbá's from other towns and you know what, no one bat's an eyelid about it.

I myself have never asked any Lagosian where their ancestry is, if it ever comes up in conversation, it will be them that volunteer to tell you.

We had an Owerri boy on the same course, the day my Lagosian Igbo friend told me he couldn't totally understand his Igbo shocked me. This is the same guy that has no problems understanding heavy Ekiti accents.

the ijaws in ondo are Yorubas right?

The badagry people in Lagos are Yorubas right?

Always talking rubbish!

CrossRhodes:

If he comes to contest now, you same people will tell him to go to edo

FreeStuffsNG:

Always insolent and ignorant. Smh

Who told you that the Ijaw are aboriginal to Yorubaland and did you bother to study the origin of the Badagry?

I know that you are Igbo so I don't blame you. All you know how to do is insult other Nigerian tribes.

Who told you that the Ijaw are aboriginal to Yorubaland and did you bother to study the origin of the Badagry people or you think they don't understand and speak Central Yoruba?

Even the revered Akran himself bears a Yoruba name and speaks Yoruba. Check most of his interviews on YouTube, they are done in Yoruba Language and they are not second class Yoruba.

I know that you are Igbo so I don't blame you. All you know how to do is insult other Nigerian tribes.

I am happy for Osimhen so don't derail the thread. He was born and bred on our soil and we love and appreciate him.
