Is English their mother tongue?




Are you perfect in your own language?

Chilipepper:
Have you ever noticed that some Yoruba individuals sometimes struggle to express themselves clearly in English? There's a colleague of mine, a Yoruba man, and every time he tries to communicate in English, it's a bit rough.

English is not the mother tongue of Igbos, Hausas, French, Chinese, Russians, Zulus, Koreans, Germans yet they generally speak it well.


How did all these other tribes around the world master this 2nd language without issues?

Is it a result of collective IQ deficiency that a particular tribe just cannot grasp the most common language in mankind's history and keeps using not my mother tongue as an excuse?


Clarify please.

Environment you grow matters. Some people may have problem in pronouncing some english words because of mother-tongue but when it comes to construction (writing) they write better than some people that grow up from cities

blackboy:
If you are Yoruba speak for yourself and your family. Wole Soyinka is Yoruba. Do not assume or generalize.

VeryWickedBro:
They are the reason Nigerians still write IELTS.

illicit:
I don't struggle but I have an accent

I know lot of Chinese,igbos and hausas in my former place of work who can't construct a correct sentence in English but let's pretend we don't know the intentions of this thread. You guys always find a way to insult yoruba people unprovoked on this platform but when they start serving you back you cry tribalism.

Afonja44:
There is no single Igbo on earth that cannot speak English or at least pidgin.

There are millions of afonjahs that pidgin is a big problem for.

Look at Peller and Portable for example
It's very shameful o
