Not true. Yoruba people speak Yoruba more than Igbo do speak Igbo

Does faith belong in the public square? At Truth & Liberty, we say yes. Follow us for bold conversations about faith, freedom, and family values.

Fallacy, I've lived in Kaduna, Abia and Imo, am igbo and I know lots of igbo persons born and brought up in the East that don't speak igbo, me that grew up in the North speak better than them. I think the statement was supposed to be for the Hausas

An Igbo man will marry a white woman and force the woman to speak his language and learn his traditions and culture. Some even bring these white women to stay with their mothers in the village but hardly will a Yoruba do same, instead he will adopt the white woman's culture.

Is not true! Yoruba’s speak Yoruba more than Ibos! My view

This is subjective. What I do know is that a lot of Lagosians speak ‘weak’ Yoruba, more like an everyday lingua. Most of us speak a simplified or less traditional version of the language

Very subjective. 98% of Yorubas I meet abroad uphold their aboriginal names. If the name is tough to pronounce in full, they use the first syllables only. 10/10 I meet a Nigerian abroad & hear Olivia, Lucy, George, I know where they from. That’s diluting “culture” to me.

That's pure fallacy, Yoruba ppl know how to speak their language more than than we igbos! My eye see my mama tell me say I be Igbo back in school wella! Make U dey speak Igbo make person wey U dey speak am to dey look U like zombie

Lol how na???

We the Igbo are also going through it

I think it’s a general thing, most of our Lagos-born Igbo’s don’t speak the language fluently. Their own is cut and join igbo.
