And you have to give it to the ibos.......

In the SW, a good number of ibos speak youruba
In the North, the blend in to speak hause quite fluently

But there are only a handful of yorubas/ hausas resident in the SE who have even made an attempt learn igbo.

And listening to the words of Ojukwu, you'll know ibos are a unique breed.

Buchukwu:
It's Igbos not ibos. You yoruba folks should learn how to pronounce. Illiterates.

The both are correct. One is used for tribe while the other is for language.

There's something unique about Igbos and the tendency to assimilate in a new environment with ease particularly learning the language of the host. There is something in their DNA or culture that allows them to do this with ease. This is not only in Nigeria, go to spain and see them speaking Spanish like the natives.

Igbos are the most language stingy ethnic in Nigeria !!!
An average Igbo find it difficult to teach you his language and Igbo is also one of the most difficult language in Nigeria because it involve some Nasal pronunciation or some words that requires squeezing your face/forehead !!!

Many Igbos ain't eager to teach you their language even most times they communicate in English among themselves , some condemn the usage of words by fellow Igbo despite Igbo Izugbe being the generally acceptable !!!

Ojukwu attended CMS grammar school, Lagos. His age then was age one can learn and understand language very well. there are many Igbo around me that have been here for years but can't speak Yoruba clearly because they are old before coming to Yoruba land.

Spain too far na. Come to Akwa Ibom na? 90% of igbos living in Akwa Ibom cant speak like the natives oh. In fact, its very easy to identify an igbo man in Akwa Ibom, no mata how long he has lived there.

Or will you deny dis one again?

Igbos are able to do this bkos their tongue doesn't have the influence of accent in it,and moreover the language structure has all the letters necessary eg
1] M group: b,p; f,v
2]N group: ch,j; d,t; g,k; h; l,r; s,z; w; y

When you look at other languages like for eg
A)Ibibio-Efik: when you look at Mmoño, you'd notice the lingo doesn't ve g,l and z sounds.
B)Ijo/Izon: when you look at Izon, you'd observe that the lingo doesn't have ch and z sounds
CH)Yoruba: when you look at Yoruba,you'd see that ththe lingo doesn't have ch,h,v and z sounds.

When you look at these languages that have these missing sounds,they pronounce it like the other paired eg yorubas pronounce v like f, Mmoño pronounce z like s while I've not interacted with Izon peeps to know how they pronounce missing sounds.
The missing sound phenomena gives rise to accents,and Igbo doesn't exhibit such phenomena its very easy for Igbo speakers to learn other languages.
