Listen, it's a shame that your measure of literacy is dependent on how well you speak another man's language. If Yoruba language has truly been added to BBC service, it's a good thing and I will advocate for Igbo language to be added too, 'cus that is one of the ways to establish your language as a major international language.

nwanlecha: If they broadcast in Igbo, would you listen to it? How many Igbo language movies have you watched? Or do you think the British are dumb? If you want your language to become international, get Biafra and make Igbo an official language. As of now, we are English speakers. 1 Like |

So many Yorubas and Hausas/Fulanis have grown up in Igbo land. Why on earth do you think it's only ndị Igbo that migrate to other people's lands? You need to change your thinking brother. MegaMan1987: 1 Like |

MegaMan1987: I think you're exaggerating. No, actually, I know you're exaggerating because the stereotype is even that an avaerage Igbo can't speak Englis without adding Igbo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHv4iyB4MnA 1 Like |

You probably take more pride in English, well I don't. And as for how many Igbo movies I've watched, they are so many of them that I've even lost count. If there's BBC Igbo service, I'll definitely listen to it & I am sure there are so many others like me. Obiagu1: 4 Likes |

ezeagu: I'm not exaggerating one bit. infact I'm taking it easy. Igbos I know act like they don't even know Igbo. Maybe they don't. But they can speak Yoruba/Hausa at the drop of a hat. Maybe you don't want to believe what I'm saying but it's the truth. 3 Likes |

nwanlecha: Good for you. Well, the British will not waste money to transmit in Igbo when more than 85% Igbos understand English. By the way, I don't take pride in English language one bit, as far as I am concerned, Igbo should be an official language in Igboland. 1 Like |

nwanlecha: Who watched them? You Igbos prefer English Nollywood. You don't respect your own language. Us Yoruba have our own movie industry with our own language. It might not be as big as ENGLISH SPEAKING Nollywood but it's still our own and we support it. Igbo language speaking movies? Please 5 Likes |

jstbeinhonest: You won't believe it but Youth corpers from other parts of the country struggle to teach in most secondary schools in Yorubaland because of the inability of the students to understand english language. Now add millions of touts that didn't go to school, then you'll get the sense of how grave the situation is in Yorubaland. 1 Like |
