Who compiled these nonsense? In Nigeria alone, what's the population of Yorubas that we have 50milliom speakers in Africa? Not to talk of other African countries, Cuba and Brazil |

ThatFairGuy1:The list is likely right He said in Africa and outside Nigeria, all those other Africa countries we can find Yoruba don't have big population. |
Re: Top 10 Most Spoken Native Languages In Africa by ThatFairGuy1: 5:31pm On Jan 26, 2021 |
Iamgrey5:Even as that, in Nigeria alone, are Yorubas not more than 50m? |

Sammy07: 1st of all bro, I never said Benin was any number of population, but those digits above is false. You don't even know wether am From Benin or Benin Esan or Benin Afemais? 2nd Benin is Benin, Esans are Benins Afemais are Benins. Lemme ask you this will you deny your child cos he speaks French? 3rd what census did you carry to ascertain Benin population 4th In Yoruba there are different languages yet you all say Yoruba so don't try to divide us, you don't hear us say Ijebus and Ijesa. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Re: Top 10 Most Spoken Native Languages In Africa by Sammy07: 5:48pm On Jan 26, 2021 |
staetic: This figure is false because Yorubas in Nigeria are more than that |
Re: Top 10 Most Spoken Native Languages In Africa by ThatFairGuy1: 5:48pm On Jan 26, 2021 |
Sammy07:Benin is not up to 2 million. The biggest ethnic group in Edo is Esan followed by Afemai. [s] EdoDefence:[/s] What are you smoking lately? Go to Uromi and Auchi and vomit this nonsense if they won't roast you |
Re: Top 10 Most Spoken Native Languages In Africa by EdoDefence: 5:49pm On Jan 26, 2021 |
Sammy07: 2. Do you listen to those paid to scatter Yoruba people? I guess your answer is No. In reality an Esan is as Benin as a Benin man. 3. An estimation? Lol bro estimations are not facts |
Re: Top 10 Most Spoken Native Languages In Africa by Sammy07: 5:49pm On Jan 26, 2021 |
