Knowledge of a language can make a lot of difference and save your day at critical moments. People tend to hobbnob with those who share the same language with them . To avoid been discriminated against in Nigeria, what Nigerian language would you rather learn first before considering others? |

I am an Edo man. Born and brought up in Lagos but schooled in Benin I would love to learn the Igbo language. My love for the Igbo race precedes a time i can't even remember. It influenced my decision when it was time for NYSC. I learnt the language a bit there. I would really love to be fluent in it. 4 Likes |

I would love to learn Hausa language as a Westerner. Most of my fellow Southerners can communicate in English , but the guys from North are on a different level. To have it smooth with them, you got to roll in their language. Yaya de aiki. - means " Well done" |

Let's see... None of them. Unfortunately, I have always been poor at picking up or learning to speak new languages. So, I don't really bother with stressing myself a lot. So, if you want to 'discriminate' against me simply because I can't speak your language then... BMG. But I kind of like them Efik/Ibibio/ and what do you call'em...? The energy behind those languages, man... kudos to all native speakers. 1 Like |

Edeyoung: Not necessarily, it's simply logical for me to know how to blend with the Northerners as a Southerner. |

Edeyoung:what is your problem? he said he prefers learning Hausa to ibo, why can't you respect his choice? is it by force to learn ibo? anyone can learn whatever he/she likes, be it German, French, Efik, fulani, Ibibio, Tiv etcetera. as a Yorubaman, I'm not planning to learn a second local language, because I don't need it, I only understand English and Yoruba, this is my choice, and I expect people to respect my idea. please act like a sensible fellow. too many dumb fools on this forum, gosh. 1 Like |

LukasPodolski: My question is not centered to him only to all yorubas who are so kin to northerners i dont know why our people so love Northern who dont even see us as brother's We are finding difficultties to unite with other southerners but here we are lobbying the north who are endegering our people How long will yoruba continue like this, is it a curse for us |

Edeyoung:You're still saying nonsense. Yorubaland are so kin on Northerners? I don't understand can you explain this to me? there is nothing like Southern Nigeria unity, SW which is home to Yoruba people is entirely different from SE and SS. Yoruba is a different and unique ethnic group, we have nothing in common with Ibos in SE and SS Minorities. do we? likewise the Fulanis and Hausas up north, we don't have anything in common. why are you obsessed? 1 Like |

LukasPodolski: We yoruba have, am yoruba myself we would rather lobby with a northern than befriend a southerner, we so much love them for no reasons That's why most times i rather align with my edo heritage than that of my yoruba heritage I hate it when we befriend those northerners If i was from another tribe and i heard you speaking i would believe you once, because of my little knowledge, but am yoruba myself and i see it glaring particularly the muslim yoruba who would side a northern than is own yoruba people A nilo yorubaas lati yipada |

Edeyoung:Firstly, Etinosa1234 , valirex , gregyboy , why is your brother not proud of his Bini heritage? could that be because of what Bini is known for? I mean, Witchcraft, Prostitution (both local and international), ilegal migration? what? secondly, how many times did Yorubas vote for a northern candidate over a southern candidate? just once, and that's was in 2015. while the duo of SS and SE voted for a northern candidate over a SW Candidate 3 times. Twice against Awolowo once against MKO Abiola. that's 3 against 1... hahaha but this degenerate born of a wh*re Bini mother thinks Yorubas who only voted for a northerner against Southerner candidate ONCE, Are more of a slave than them that does the same 3 TIMES. Interesting. |

Edeyoung:Attached is a table showing Yoruba and ibo/SS voting pattern since Independence, but one Edo foolish boy who probably got deported from Sicily, Italy is talking trash. The Yorubas have always being in opposition, until 2015. Obasanjo wasn't Yoruba preferred candidate, PA Olu Falae was the preferred candidate, they voted against Olu Falae. Apparently, the only time Yorubas were in the centre government was 2015-- till now.

LukasPodolski: Nonsense list, the person who made that list is a biast, is it only east that is in the south...? I guess not How many times have the yorubas voted for the east for presidency or even a south south person if not for luck goodluck succeeded yaradua, i bet ss would still not have presidency till datw, when it matter most you yorubas voted him out, for a northern man, so that 2023,will be yorubas i can count how many times ibos voted for Yoruba presidency, but the other way round is zero When i saw tafawa balewa on the list i laughed at your screenshot, why was there even a coup if east voted tafawa balewa like your list claim , The coup was plotted by the eastern people because they felt tafawa didn't deserve the seat and here you are bringing rubbish list 1 Like |
