Eat it! Go to Ezi Anam in Anambra state, they can't speak English there.
I was there for around two days. To buy things, we had to point to them, they don't know the English of even water! I even saw a young boy and called him because I knew he would be a student, to help us interpret but boy only understood us and couldn't speak any meaningful English.
We walked all around the street before we could find a young woman who could speak Pidgin. And I'm sure there would be many of such place in other Igbo lands.

flokii:
What manmer of fuckery is this?..
I speak proper, crisp English and I'm pure bred Yoruba (100%).
Please stop generalizing.

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

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.

Afonja44:
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.

Is English their mother tongue?




Are you perfect in your own language?

lonelygem:
Why are u desperately struggling to create content?? You aren't making any sense. You are myopic and primitive in your thoughts.

It's obvious you are just about starting your journey to exposure but thinking you were there already.

You shall know better as you grow older and just then, reality will dawn on you bro.

It’s surprising to see some Yoruba people getting upset over a straightforward question I asked. Many Yorubas often struggle with speaking English properly, mixing up past and present tenses.

On the other hand, it's rare to find an Igbo person who can’t communicate clearly in basic English or pidgin. I’m not talking about accents here. Typically, if you come across a Yoruba person who speaks English fluently, they probably have a privileged background, perhaps having studied abroad or in one of those elite British schools in Nigeria. Abeg face it..
