Philistine: This shows that in Yoruba land, education standard is degenerating to Hausa level with mass illiteracy now equaling what's obtainable in the North. A local language program is needed by a foreign organisation to keep millions of ever increasing illiterates in Yorubaland informed on global matters. 8 Likes 1 Share |

It won't be long before the world Igbo council threaten to sue the BBC at the world criminal court for discrimination over a local language service they are already mocking now to be for illiterates. Their wailings over the Hausa service as a discrimination against the Igbos is still very much in memory and can be reproduced when the time comes. 9 Likes |

(remember DSTV) or how BBC are jealous of Radio Biafra & Radio nnewi But since its not BBC Igbo now. its NONSENSE* Cry Cry babies. Wait for 2040. Don't blame the Yorubas, how many people this days speak Igbo? Even Igbo's themselves prefer speaking Yoruba than Igbo. Igbo language isn't appealing at all. Dalu 7 Likes 1 Share |

Obiagu1: So BBC that speaks English suggest that English speakers are illiterate? That you don't preserve your language or take pride in it kills your language itself. That's the igbo language's undoing. So what will you say when BBC Igbo comes out in 10 years time? 6 Likes |

Hahahaha! See as Yoruba people are rejoicing thinking they've got one up on the great Ndị Igbo. This is inferiority complex at its peak. For your info. BBC will only be launching a Pidgin English service in Nigeria. There's no mention of Yoruba in the article. The person who posted this article is deceptive as hell. Well 'am not surprised. Anything to try to measure up with Ndị Igbo. SMH 3 Likes |

IlekeHD: The reason they use pidgin is to 'expand' to people who don't understand standard English properly or at all, which is why the main articles says: "The government is to invest £85 million a year in enhancing BBC services around the world including in Russia, North Korea, the Middle East and Africa. The money is to help "build the global reach of the World Service" to half a billion people and "increase access to news and information". (...) "The World Service is one of the UK's most important cultural exports and one of our best sources of global influence. We can now further build on that."" 3 Likes |

IlekeHD: Organisations don't waste money on irrelevant programs, they are not charities! They transmit on Official Languages only, but when the Official Language is not understood by millions of people they intend to reach out to due to mass illiteracy, they transmit in a second language. Hausa language program has been the only non-official African language program on the BBC for years due to their inability to understand Nigerian Official Language, English. Now Yoruba has been added to the list. Not a good sign, girl. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Obiagu1: What do you expect? when yorober and foolery is like bread and butter. They couldn't see through the real issue before jumping for 'victory over Igbos'. Oil prices are plummettng.There is no more free oil money for osun, oyo and the rest to pay waec fees. Demographics also show that yorubers are the least educated in the south. They have the lowest cutt off after the illiterate north. Now a simple test, what do these group of people have in common?- Hausas, Somalians, Eritreans, and now Osun, Oyo and co 1. ) illiteracy? 2.) poverty? The British are trying save them from having a 100% almajiri situation, yet they think they won one over the Igbos. 2 Likes

Obiagu1: NAaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. They broadcast in language of influence that offers rich history, culture and heritage. That is why you have BBC Swahili, hausa, Yoruba and pidgin. This is not a station for hate preaching, war mongering and violence instigation. We can all remember your SOS call to Multichoice, before they pitied you and dashed you a station. 7 Likes 1 Share |
Re: BBC To Launch Pidgin And Yoruba Service by Nobody: 10:27pm On Nov 23, 2015 |
But come to think of it though, all it will take is for ndị Igbo to demand for BBC Igbo and we'll have one too. This is not a big deal now. Nawa for some Yoruba people oh. 2 Likes |

superstar1: It has nothing to do with history or heritage. The BBC is a form of British soft power which they use to spread their influence in whatever way they can, they literally said it in the article. "The World Service is one of the UK's most important cultural exports and one of our best sources of global influence. We can now further build on that." The BBC or the British do not care about your culture or heritage. Lol. 3 Likes |
