        BBC Hausa was launched in 1957, launching BBC Yoruba and Igbo services 61 years later is an attempt to rebrand/redirect the neo-colonialist project of the British Empire (now UK govt), you have to know the colonial history of Nigeria to understand.

        We the Igbo people emotionally and passionately welcomed the white man’s religion, while the Hausas & Fulanis loved their Islam

        We the Igbo people embraced Western Education, Hausas & Fulanis refused it. We the Igbo people accepted and copied Western culture & dressing, the Hausa & Fulanis opposed it.
