    There are over 525 native languages spoken in Nigeria. The Nigerian official language is English, the language of former colonial British Nigeria. As reported in 2003, Nigerian Pidgin was spoken as a second language by 60 million people in Nigeria.
    The major native languages, in terms of population, are Hausa (over 80 million when including second-language, or L2, speakers), Yoruba (over 50 million including L2 speakers), Igbo (over 30 million, including L2 speakers), Efik-Ibibio cluster (over 15 million), Fulfulde (13 million), Kanuri (8 million), Tiv (5 million), Nupe (3 million) and approx. 2 to 3 million each of Karai-Karai Kupa, Kakanda, Edo, Igala, Idoma and Izon. Nigeria's linguistic diversity is a microcosm of much of Africa as a whole, and the country contains languages from the three major African language families: Afroasiatic, Nilo-Saharan and Niger-Congo. Nigeria also has several as-yet unclassified languages, such as Centúúm, which may represent a relic of an even greater diversity prior to the spread of the current language families.
    If you are interested to see your native language/dialect be featured here.

    Looking forward to hearing from you!

    Thanks for this video, we all learned that these three languages don't have anything to do with each other.

    In Brazil, Yoruba is used as a liturgical language in Afro-Brazilian religions, such as Umbanda and Candomblé.

    I have thought that Yoruba and Igbo are much closer each other.

    As a speaker of a Semitic language the only words in Hausa I recognize are 4, 6, and sky. (mulki, duniya, and amin are loanwords)
