I researched a bit into this today and was mind blown.
Taraba, Plateau, Nasarawa, Adaminaby, Bauchi etc. There are like 100+ languages(not dialects) between them.

Why is it then that the Southern dialects are the most magnified here, other social media sites and in general?

Na today you know?

Na people wey get easy access to technology go dey popular. When Atiku said majority of people in the North don't have access to the internet, did you think he was joking?

Still yet they all speak hausa as their central language. So how will people get to learn about these different languages?

Those dialects in the North are magnified and used always but in the South we are crazy about English.
Our mother tongue dies daily but we celebrate English.

For political reasons, Nigeria isn’t honest with the nature of the diversity and similarities between ethnicities.

Even this North/South Zoning thing doesn’t make sense because a good number of “Northerners” have more in common with Southerners than with other Northerners and vice versa. After BAT, would we have a Christian Northerner as APC’s candidate?

Educational exposure is the one reason things like this are promoted in the South as compared to the North.

About 305 active languages and dialects exist in the North, plus English and French. That's about seventy percent of the 389 active languages and dialects existing in the country.

Though Nigeria was long chronicled to have about 525 languages and dialects. Some have gone extinct while others are just negligible variations of the recognised 389. Like my dialect has about 5 variations, so they're all just categorised as one.

Nationally, the most deficient region in terms of languages is the East. Outside English and Igbo, I think they have just about 4 other languages spoken sparingly.

Yet, it's always politicised to make it seem as though the east are fragmented linguistically and culturally. Quite sinister!

This. Nigeria has done so much wrongs.

In the north, they are homogeneously Human.

In the south , we are plagued with having the missing link amongst us.

Which is?
I thinks it's all politics.

It's down to genetics .

We have bipedal humanoids in the south who keep acting like proverbial village people and they are actually village people in all ramifications.

Lol.

Politically motivated ambiguity.
The East is unarguably the most united region, if Language and culture are to be used as measurement yardsticks.

Outside Igbo, I think there are three other languages spoken in the East. Aduge spoken in Anambra, Mbembe spoken in Enugu (shared with Cross River), Nsukka spoken in Enugu (shared with Kogi). And those three languages have less than 100 thousand indigenes who speak them.

Because the main goal is to divide the EAST and continue to cheat THE EAST in Nigeria.
There is no "South". There is Yoruba and East in southern Nigeria.
The day easterners will understand this, and unite the better for them.
Most of those pushing and magnifying the division in the East are Yorubas.

Sorry to say, but many of the people like making noise for no relevant reason.

its funny how with all diversity in the north, there is still a general sense of direction much more than the south where the 2 parties are always in a d*** measuring contest.
