Peace Family💖 I am excited about this video Thank you Bayo Adio for sharing it I'm totally interested in your farm land offer, I would like to learn more about it, so I'll be contacting you later this month Love to you and yours💖
Everything he mentioned is FACTual. For us born in the early 80s or before and had our primary and secondary education in Nigeria were taught all of this in history classes as well as social studies spanning from primary one up until primary six and a bit more up until JSS3. The only thing that’s new to me is the wall of the Benin Kingdom which I just myself discovered a couple of months ago via instagram. Also, according to UNESCO Nigeria has 397 languages but I think he’s most likely right about it being more. The land encompassing today’s Nigeria was a great land before it became the Royal Niger company and subsequently amalgamated becoming Nigeria. Nice one Mr Peter Okopi. Kudos 👏🏿👏🏿
Thank you @MartinRoyproductions! It is important we know the rich history of our land. We are trying to educate Nigerians and the world about Nigeria in interested engaging ways.
I'd like to argue that even if some words are different between dialects that is still all the same language. There are many words that are used in uk that aren't used in other english states like us and Australia and vice versa. "Rubbish" will only be called rubbish in uk but not in the us. As long as the basics within the language are the same and you can understand each other its the same language but different dialect. Also it's my theory that these words that aren't shared are proof of intermarriage between ethnic groups over centuries. Which is proof that we aren't as divided and "tribalistic" as they want us to believe
Someone had post on fb asking how people call some small purple fruit in their language. Some one said ude mgbe, someone else mgbe mgbe, some said ode, etc. At least to me they looked similar

How come y’all don’t include all Africans? The only way that Africa returns to the superpower status of our history and destiny is when Africans unite. Personally, it kind of hurts my feelings when Nigerians separate themselves from other Africans especially us American Africans when y’all are in the US. IJS 🤷🏿♀️ Is that wrong?
Please Bayo, do not call other languages in Nigeria random. No language in Nigeria is random. That is so insulting. Never say something like that again, bro. There is no one language in Nigeria that is more important than the others, in Nigeria. These people were individual nations before the British contact, and eventually forced them to join to form one country. It is a shame that black people are quick to quote and worship western history, yet they often have little or no regard for their own. So, please, Nigeria is not just Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo. Do not make that mistake with other tribes. Even Yoruba (which is general slur and a nickname giving to them by the Hausas) have different dialects too like the Ijebu, Aworis, etc. Facts: In addition to what the gentleman said, The Benin Kingdom founded and established Eko, (Lagos). They were the ones who settled there first and named that land Eko. It is fair to say Lagos is an extension of Benin Kingdom, going by History. The Benin also established the Monarchy in Lagos. The first Oba of Lagos was the son of Oba of Benin. That Benin bloodline continued to run deep till this day with the current Oba of Lagos. When the Portuguese first arrived, they encountered the Benin people first. In 1975 when the former Dahomey Republic decided to change its name to Benin Republic, they sent emissary to the Oba of Benin, Oba Akenzua ll, seeking permission to rename their new country in honor of the Benin Kingdom, since the Bight of Benin was also named in honor of the Great Benin Kingdom.
