There's safety in numbers, should Igbos leave Nigeria the SS would remain the only region with Christian majority, I don't think the SW would mind adopting Hausa as their lingua franca.

The population of Hausa speakers in Nigeria has reached about 120 million, a colloquium has said. This was contained in a communiqué issued on Thursday at the end of a one-day colloquium organised by the Department of African Languages and Cultures, Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria Kaduna State.

The communiqué, which was signed by Dr Balarabe Danladi and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said numerical strength, was a major consideration in which language becomes official. “This is because, it has speakers all over the world and the speakers are grouped into native and non-native speakers. “In Nigeria, native Hausa speakers exceed 70 million and non-native speakers who use Hausa as second language are likely to be between 40 and 50 million on a conservative estimate,” it added

The communiqué said it had also been observed that more than one-third of the total population of Nigeria, understood Hausa language, and that for being widely spread, within and outside Nigeria had established the fact that “Hausa is a lingua-franca in Nigeria. “This position has made it easier for Government to promote Hausa to the level of an official language in Nigeria

The argument is that a language that acquires lingua-franca status demands little effort from the government and scholars to qualify as an official language”, it noted. It said Hausa language is used in Mosques, Churches, business transactions and a host of other social and political activities. The communiqué said Hausa language had international recognition which served as a good index to initiate the process of making it an official one. It said Hausa had been recognised internationally in various spheres such as Microsoft, foreign universities, international media, Face book and other international works, and that adoption of indigenous language, particularly Hausa, would facilitate national growth and development.

I just read something stupid. We never learn Igbo finish na Hausa we go learn.



Where can Hausa take anybody to in this world? US, UK or China. Who in their right senses want to go to Boko Haram Country?



Hausa remains a language for the Hausa man, maybe his yoruba slaves or sidekick but leave us SS AND SE out.

MadamExcellency:
Thank goodness this can't happen while the Easterners remain in Nigeria.

Sharia war taught us lessons we shouldn't forget so easily.

Hausa-Fulani is not even majority in Nigeria. They are less than 40% hence can't impose their language on 250 different native language speakers.

You are ignorant and base your rants on emotions. There should be at least 10 million Igbos residing in northern Nigeria who speak fluent Hausa. Nobody forced them to learn it, they did, so as to acquire another weapon for survival in a different environment. For your information, Hausa is the most widely spoken indigenous language in sub-Saharan Africa

Stupedinluv:
You are crazy

yemaldo:
Will they force us to speak the language?

ZKOSOSO:
Me think Yoruba is.
All well known Nigerians in arts speak or use Yoruba as selling point.

Stupedinluv:
I prefer hausa, an indigenous language to be lingua franca than english, a foreign language forced on my ancestors


This is the best news ive heard this week.

Way to go

Going to perfect my hausa.

ShootToKill:
We yorubas really need to change our lingua franca to Hausa. It's an easier language. God bless the Caliphate and Emirates on our land.

waternogetenemy:
If dem like make the whole North and South west speak hausa, this generation of igbo youth and the future leaders of tommorrow have told dem that on Biafra we stand.


U kill us, our Children will grow and repeat it again, that we want Biafra.
