Does anyone know of any Bantu languages in Nigeria? If so, and are you fluent in Bantu and Atlantic-Congo languages, could you please tell me which one is easier to learn?

@OP,You need Musiwa/Becomrich.Track him down and all your Bantu problems are solved.
Re: Bantu Languages by BlackLibya: 4:23am On Nov 06, 2011
Lol so out of the hundreds of languages in naija, there is no area where bantu and atlantic languages occur next to each other?

Igbo has a mix of semi-Bantu groups, so in another sense Igbo is close to Bantu than any other Nigerian group, but Igbo language is not Bantu language.

I would say that they must not teach you guys about bantu languages in Naija, except for the fact that nobody else has come in here and said that except for you.

Now, none of the major languages in nigeria are bantu languages. That is why I started this thread.
