ArodeTsolaye: Actually this is a victory over Igbo's dying language. Igbo is restricted to SE Nigeria, and even then, they've acculturated themselves with pidgin and Yoruba language. Yoruba is not only spoken in English, it's even being taught in USA/Europe, so why should BBC ignore Yoruba? Tell me why igbo people are crying on BBCAfrica about not having BBCIgbo? 5 Likes 1 Share |

Lol! I don't see it that way though. If they decide to broadcast in Yoruba, it's a good thing 'cus it will help promote their culture just as they've been doing for years now with the Hausa service. I hope you know it's not a thing of pride to value English more than your own language? Obiagu1: 3 Likes 1 Share |

superstar1: Igbo is an actual recognised language of Equatorial Guinea, an economy whose per capita income is almost four times of Nigeria. Even though there's massive inequality, their HDI is several ranks above Nigeria. http://www.refworld.org/cgi-bin/texis/vtx/rwmain?page=country&category=&publisher=MRGI&type=&coi=GNQ&rid=&docid=4954ce2a2&skip=0 Sorry, it has nothing to do with culture or history, but money influence and most especially power. 3 Likes |

Musiwa419: lmaoooo na him go jam the radio more than Yorubas sef ArodeTsolaye: There in the East, Igbo language is dying. Igbo people even speak Yoruba more than some Yoruba people. So why should BBCAfrica ignore Yoruba? There's another Yoruba radio station that Gani just started airing...... and you're telling me I shouldn't be happy that someone is reviving and spreading my language? 5 Likes |

IlekeHD: Swahili is a lingua franca for a diverse people in east Africa, many of which do not speak English much. The same for Hausa. BBC is looking for ways to spread their influence so they'll spend their money on things which can which is why "A TV service will be added to the existing service for Somalia." |

nwanlecha: 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. 2 Likes |
