Hausa is mainly spoken in Northern Nigeria
Yoruba mainly in South Eastern Nigeria
As there are 17million Hausa & 10 million Yoruba I would guess there is a fair chance that there are speakers outside the homelands of the tribes that speak the languages.
However there are not enough speakers for them to be truly international languages

Mainly Nigeria, but Yoruba is also spoken in southwest Benin, Ghana and Togo. Hausa is spoken in Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroun, South Niger, Ghana, Chad and Togo, so yes, both languages could be considered to be international. If you are anti-Semitic, you might like to know that Hausa is a Semitic language - related to Arabic.
