Hausa (Africa, Nigeria) word "mai" [oil, butter, fat, petrol, petroleum] comes from Bashkir word "май" (mai or my) [oil (any of numerous mineral, vegetable, or synthetic substances or animal or vegetable fats), butter, fat, tallow].

Not necessarily. Words for mother and father have similarities throughout the world, because babies' first words, the first syllables they're capable of pronouncing, tend to be "ma" sounds and "ba" or "pa" sounds. "Father" in bantu languages is also "baba", but that doesn't mean that Bantu is part of the Nostratic language family.
Get a grip, OP.

Yes.
Bashkir language is the parent language of all peoples.
Are you Russian?
You're missing the fundamental principles in the theory you're espousing. You have to be able to distinguish loan words (naturally, Russian was inundated with Mongol vocab, for obvious reasons) vs. a genuine linguistic sub-stratum. Have you even had in-depth coursework in linguistics, or are you quoting from a book or newspaper articles, or from a popular series of lectures at your local university in Bashkiria? You didn't respond to my post like a linguist would; rather, you responded like a dogmatist.
Are you trying to make a case that all world languages are ultimately related? That English and Vietnamese have a common origin?

No, that's not what the Nostratic language family theory is. It proposes a macrofamily (one among several in the world) that unifies many, not all, languages in Eurasia. (Sinitic languages (Chinese-related), Austronesian, and SE Asian languages aren't included.) Some proponents of the theory include North African and Arabian Peninsula languages. Sub-Saharan Africa isn't included, Australian aboriginal languages and Pacific Islander and New Guinea languages aren't included, nor are languages indigenous to the Americas.
The whole concept of macro-families is controversial, which is not to say that it's entirely without merit. But linguists say that even Sergei Starostin, who was one of the main proponents of the theory, tended to confuse loanwords with vocabulary that evolved from a common root.

Scottish Gaelic word 'iul' [direction, a course] comes from Bashkir word "юл" (yul or youl) - road, way.
What about English?
Other Turkic Languages.
Azerbaijani "yol" – road, way, direction.
Turkish "yol" – road, way, course.
Mishar "юл" (yul) – road, way.
