It is not adviseable to start learning Igbo language on youtube moreover there is no kids here. We don't want foreigners to disguise as an Igbo and start teaching us Igbo language, it is not hard to see. We wanted Igbo novel not for child but for adults Google did not show one then i began to think if there was no Igbo nevels during our school time.

[@lawrencee99]

It's not enough to just be Nigerian, you have to be specific. There are 200+ ethnicities in Nigeria. Lagos is in the South West and despite having a large Igbo population in some areas...is mostly Yoruba. They mostly speak in this order Pidgin (everyone understands this), Yoruba, English, and in some areas Igbo. Igbo is spoken predominantly in the South East.

[@BB-ji3bb]

Awwn, that's cute But Igbo isn't the language of Lagos. It's a cocktail of people from everywhere. I think Pidgin, Yoruba are the main languages
