Where do you live?

Dcass:
it's funny to you but you have no idea you are making fun of my pain because you live in your comfort zone.

You don't know we where killed chased out of our homeland and everyone either lose loved ones or scattered everywhere just to survive

How about those who needs to travel out and no access to forex? You didnt see the news of Nigerians in UK struggling because of that shallow decision?
You dont have any iota of sense on you

Ttalk:
Those that rely on importing fake products are the one responsible for weak naira. When your Pandora failure was busy importing foreign wine, pastes, toothpick and all form of jargons that the country can produce, your dumb mind didn't tell you that it would weaken the Naira.

Just dey there they expose your stupidity

Why do you people live in obvious denial of the truth

Couldntfigurean:
I know many Yorubas that learnt Igbo language without even stepping a foot in igboland,leave ogbomosho and explore the world,many grew up with Igbo kids and now speak impeccable igbo

misano:
Egyptians were once known as world power. Where were the Yorubas?

Imagine Lagos is Mixed. A state where most of the street names and locations are typical Yoruba names is what he called Mixed! This people actually needs a brain check!

Christistruth03:
Lagos is Yorubaland

There are many native People in Lagos State who speak no other Language except Yoruba

To think that you are comparing a region with a country of at least 120 million people shows how shallow you are😅

misano:
If Yoruba is bigger than Africa then it automatically means Yoruba is bigger than Egyptians and Ethiopians.

We both know that the Egyptians are known in every country of the world but Yorubas are known mostly inside Nigeria. So therefore, Yoruba can't be bigger than Egyptians.

Lmao.,,, Maybe you should argue with Wikitionary
OGA is a typical Yoruba word same as Japa and every other relative Slags most people use in the Country. When it comes to catchy phrases, slangs and Entertainment in General, I dont think any other tribes comes close

Abagworo:
Oga as master is an Igbo thing borrowed by Yoruba. Yorubas use more of Baba than Oga but languages do grow and you as a newer generation now believes it's original . Wahala too isn't Yoruba but borrowed from Afro-Asiatic but it has so eaten deep that I don't even know the alternative. It's same way some Igbos now think gan is an Igbo word whereas the original word is kponkwem.

Why do you have to live in Denial? Tuface Only me is typical yoruba song, Psqure, Rema, Buju and most of None yoruba artists have in different occassions speak Yoruba in their music. I cant say thesame for Yoruba artists speaking Igbo or Ibibio convincingly in their songs. You can deny it as much as you can, but you and I know the reality

Abagworo:
Every artist mixes languages including foreign ones like Twi and Swahili. Rema's 1st song Dumebi is Igbo , Burnaboy's Odogwu is Igbo, Omah Lay uses more Igbo same with Tuface and others. Being able to speak a language means ability to relatively communicate in the given language not infusing of words.

I dont care either, just stating the obvious.
If you think I should support you and bring you along as your boyfriend in Canada but you dont think thesame if you were to be there, then you have the typical low mentality of most Nigerian Girls if you see payback/supporting as jelousy!

Mjshexy:
Whatever suits your mouth you can say, i dont know you from Adam

Can you prove this?
These are core Yoruba words

Oga - Master / Boss
Oga - Chameleon
Oga - Tall
Ogaa - be deceived

Abagworo:
Oga is Igbo not Yoruba.

JAPA
SORO SOKE
WEREY
OMOH
OGA
I was even suprized to see an Ugandan and zimbabwean say Omo and Oga effortlessly! due to the influence of Nigerian songs. They know these songs more than you!

SW speak Yoruba

Igbo in Lagos speaks Yoruba

Other SSners in Lagos speak Yoruba

Igbo in other SW states speak Yoruba.

Foreigners residing in SW speak Yoruba

Beremx and princeoflagos and other Igbo nairalanders speak Yoruba

having lived or schooled in SW

Every Southern person who listens to Afrobeat speaks Yoruba.

Most slangs adapted into speech today emanates from Yoruba. e.g 'soro soke'

Thanks for this analysis, the OP is just bein myopic

Don't mind them, Yoruba language that is Nigerias National anthem. Anything Afro beat is Yoruba Language
Even non yoruba artists must incorporate Yoruba to sell. The likes of Rema, Tu face, Burna, Omahlay, Buju etc had to use Yoruba to sell and be known.

blabulu2000:
Because of some of the Ace musicians who has decided to implant Yoruba dialect in their songs and Lagos state influence being the state which is predominantly Yoruba people....Yoruba language has been exported to.differnt part country and the continent...i was in Canada when one Oyinbo was singing Asake song which is more of.Yoruba language....

Japa Slogan is Yoruba language slogan....

Fira09:
Why did you add half part of Edo & Delta state to the southwest zone? Do they speak Yoruba?

Thats your answer, you can do your own research

Yes, some parts of edo and delta speaks and understands yoruba, It's just a pictoral representation. it dosent change the fact that there are Yoruba speakers in Kwara, Kogi, Edo and Delta.

I won't bother you with the details of how a single mum arrived at my apartment.
Na epileptic power supply cause am.
So the thing is, I was trying to flirt with her, my hands already reaching her hands ..and she was pulling away and accusing us men of only going for sex and nothing more. .I told her I liked her a lot from day one. And that I emotionally blanked my heart from any lady after my fiancee slept with my best friend(lies) .....it was at this point I remembered our drama days in school
I come pot into character by remembering my dad that died in motor accident.. come see tears from no where.. lol
This lady was freezed to the spot ..as I was saying I need to be loved again, I need love again.... my hand went into the bemunda triangle, na so so loud moaning

That's not jelousy! A man is expected to assist a woman if they have a breakthrough. When a woman breaks through, they see the man as below standard, I dont blame them, I think that's how most of them are wired. Only the ones with fear of God and a good hometraining will stick with the man and elevate him.
I think you are like the later, you see supporting a man as jelousy

Mjshexy:
So what led to the break up, jealousy?

Count your loses and move on, more reason I think very well before assisting a person I am dating, If it's not negligeable, I wont do it.

What I Just Discovered About Women

A woman loses respect for a man or her current boyfriend once she starts getting intimate with someone that is richer and more well to do than him

This is your answer OP.
The remaining regions speak Igbo, efik, ibibio, tiv, igala, ebira and so on. Do you need to compare anymore? SW is a region of not less than 50 million people btw

Ezeama400:
After English language and pidgin language, what Language Is Most Spoken In Southern Nigeria and states where they are spoken ?

Lagos is mixed you say ?

Ezeama400:
How many states speak Yoruba ?

Just five, Lagos is mixed

So you are comparing a region wih about 30 million people with a region of 50 million people and you think Igbo language is widely spoken throughout the South
I have seen a couple of Igbo people speak yoruba flunently, I havent seen so many yoruba people who speak Igbo fluently, if there is, then its very strange unlike okoro and chukudis speaking Yoruba like its nothing!

Ezeama400:
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

How about Lagos civil servic?

richidinho:
Tinubu's special advisers are all yorubas, 21 out of 28 security heads are all yorubas in a country of about 350 ethnic groups

He has already ignored the Federal character that is boldly captured in the constitution of the country, his predecessor whom you so much adore did worst than him

Igbos are all over Nigeria buying properties Yorubas and Hausa just sleep at home, they don't work, infact Yorubas are the poorest tribes in Africa
You can check the economic index. The Lagos you developed seff, Yorubas and Hausa had the largest investments in Lagos. You are so engrossed in your okoro and baba chukwudi's shop

Obinwenite:
Go and become one yourself. Abi your legs are broken or are you forbidden from becoming one.

You guys talk like people without exposure.
Go to bauchi, Kano, kwara…. Go to all parts of Nigeria and you will count thousands of igbos with houses and shops but the same can’t be said of other regions. During my NYSC in Bauchi state, you will see igbos with their plazas and houses scattered all over the state ,everywhere but you can’t say that to others.

Joe igbokwe and likewise somany igbos has been actively involved in politics in Lagos from ages despite the obvious tribalism. You are not doing them a favour!.
It takes guts to buy form and contest elections in a toxic environment.

Do you think igbos really care about you joining their politics?…. Nobody cares.
Tribalism is what you guys breath … nothing else. See how you guys wants to create tribalism in an innocent list.

No one forbids you guys from buying forms from political parties.l and contesting with your money. Are you the one that borrowed them the money to contest?.

Igbos are all over Nigeria buying properties, building houses and risking their lives to join politics and you stay in your house to write nonsense. Nonsense

Is this supposed to be an excuse?

No, Niger delta dont have as much gas as Imo, this is not about crude oil

HeartlessMan:
You mean Niger Delta's gas?

I support.

LegendHero:
I kinda like this.

We must make sure Yoruba become the second official language in the South as a whole.

Ever since I watched the Netflix documentary “Bigger than Africa”, I just suddenly got this extreme proudness in me for being a Yoruba man.

Afro beat language is already Yoruba, why can’t the whole Southern Nigeria adopt Yoruba as the second official language?
