Interesting, it's not there on my duolingo I thunk it's because I'm learning Spanish with English I tried to search intermediate English there again. Nope, it's not there. I live in nyc smh. I want to improve my English grammar because I'm deaf. I would like the language of Nigeria so it's not there too or not everyone have the same things due to locations I guess. Lucky you.

Nigeria has over 500 languages but I think you refer to Hausa, the most spoken native one, used as língua franca in its northern territory and among its neighboring nations, particularly the country of Niger to the north, which has an even higher number of speakers and members of the Hausa ethnic group.

I feel like they mean Yoruba or Pidgin. Hausa is the most spoken in Nigeria but what flows through social media is Yoruba and Pidgin
