lexylaw40: Nigerian border? Yoruba that is spoken in Brazil, Cuba, the Carribean, Colombia, Argentina etc. Please, lets give our Yoruba people their laurels. Our culture is very strong. Definitely, the strongest in Nigeria. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

plaindealer: ^^^ This is false. There are millions of Nigerians outside Western Nigeria who do not speak or understand Yoruba - and they are getting by. They communicate and interact with one another - with family and friends etc. and not one word of Yoruba enters the mix. They entertain themselves, read, socialize and in summary, live their lives - and its all done in several languages other than Yoruba. You are stretching the truth by miles with this preposterous claim that Yoruba is becoming a standard language across Nigeria. It simply isn't true. plaindealer: ^^^ ![]() Again, there are millions of Nigerians who don't know anything about 'Don jazzy', 'marvin people' ![]() ![]() plaindealer: ^^^ ![]() This is again, false. And you know it. There are millions of Nigerians who are not enthralled by urban Nigerian popular culture. It is highly presumptuous to think everyone in Nigeria lives only for music and movies. People have real lives to live! plaindealer: ^^^ ![]() Netflix series? Call us when the Mossad or the FSB consult this series when making policy. Projecting Nigeria to the outside world? Who is doing this projection and on whose behalf? ![]() plaindealer: ^^^^ The same can be said for Hausa, Igbo, Ibibio, Tiv, Ijaw, Igala, Idoma, Bini, Urhobo, Berom, Jukun etc. |

We've seen several 100% Yoruba-speaking movies on Netflix, but never igbo or Hausa movies, in fact, Netflix signed contracts with Ebony Life and Kunle Afolayan to produce movies and TV Shows for Netflix, meaning Yoruba movies and TV shows projecting Yoruba language and culture. Imagine igbo speaking show on Netflix, it won't sell, the language is not sweet, it's not welcoming, and it's just too harsh to the ear. Same with igbo songs, won't sell or go mainstream. 16 Likes 4 Shares |

Paretomaster1: Apple and orange comparison. Swahili and Hausa languages are predominant languages in tens of countries in Africa, not just in SA or Nigeria hence the need to kill 2 birds with one stone to reach several Hausa and Swahili-speaking countries. In this context, we are talking about Nigeria, not other countries. Do they speak Hausa or Swahili in South America or the Caribbean? No, but they speak Yoruba and Yoruba culture is dominant also. You made zero sense with that argument. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

plaindealer: ^^^ This is false. The dominant culture in South America is not Yoruba. The dominant culture in the Caribbean is not Yoruba. Get your facts straight. Yoruba is spoken in these places but it is spoken by a minority of the population. Another poster on here - clearly more informed than I am - aptly described it as being relegated to a liturgical language. 1 Like |

1Sharon:I didn't mean to imply that. I was using that to allude to the fact that Lagos is a megacity where influx all over the world is on a daily. This has made competition for control of helm high whether politically or economically. Several tribes are laying claims to it too; some historically, others politically. |

They have nothing in common apart from the fact that it's spoken in Nigeria just like Yoruba. Read what I said again. Your BBC comparison was baseless. 8 Likes 2 Shares |
