She is amazing because she lives in the Southwest and speaks Igbo well. How many Igbos living in the Southeast can speak fluent Yoruba?
Don't be silly, there's a place in Ukala in the southeast the unofficial language is Yoruba. The head of the clan "Ogbe" are called "Baba". I knew this when I went for a friend father's family.

She is an Igbo lady that speaks Yoruba.

Why i said so is; Igbo language is the most difficult amongst the 3 major ethnic group, when it comes to spoken language.

Before a non Igbo would be able to speak the language, he or she must have resided in the South East over a period of time.

So forget the way she wrapped a head/hair like a Muslim, she is an Igbo girl.

She is "amazing" because she speaks a Nigerian language for her own good. Igbos who speak several languages must be gods then.

Only ibos speak ibo language.
Nobody lives in ibo land except the ibos.

Other 5 regions in Nigeria accomodate non indigenes except ibo land.

Even the ubiquitous investors like Dangote and BUA avoid that land like a plague.

Comprehension = zero

Most Igbos who speak several languages do so cos they have opportunities to travel or live in those cities

My brother a lot.

If Igbos are 100 in South West, about 30 can speak Yoruba language.

No matter how many Igbos live in a particular area, a southwesterner living in her own region isn't "living among Igbos", it's the Igbos who are living among Yorubas.

I ask again, how many Igbos living in the southeast can speak Yoruba fluently? Before you downplay her skills, how many languages do you speak, apart from English and your mother tongue?

What skill did he down play?

Of course, many Igbo returnees from the South West speak Yoruba. The problem is rather who to speak it with.

By the way, my junior sister (Igbo) wrote Yoruba in her WAEC here in Lagos

Multilingualism at its best. But my reservation is that she must have been exposed to Igbo language from very young age to have acquired a near native proficiency in the South East language.

This video is a depiction of all what Nigeria should be about tribally, but what do we know?

At least there's been no tribal fights on this thread so far.

Southeast has the largest number of multilingual nigerians. What the lady does is normal as she is probably living among Igbos in Lagos.
No, what she does is not normal and deserves to be appreciated. Ibos speaking Yoruba and Hausa languages is very understandable because most ibos aren’t living in their native lands because they mostly move to more prosperous regions.
The woman is most probably living in the southwest for the most part of her life. Why is the comparison even making sense to you? Na so you dull reach?
It’s comments like yours that make me seriously question the intellectual capacity of folks from the SE.
The thing is: How many ibos living in the SE can speak Yoruba or Hausa language fluently without leaving the East?

shocked it obvious many of you don't travel within Nigerian,there's a place in the southeast called Ala ndi Abapka (Land of the Yoruba) the head is is called Oba, Yoruba is the official language.

They are many Yoruba traders in Ariaria Market in the Aba
