FG Vows To Protect Nigeria’s Languages by Ayekotoo(m): 8:58am On Aug 31, 2013 |
THE Federal Government has pledged to protect the country’s multiple languages from going into extinction, just as it vows to continue to encourage the study of French as a second language in Nigeria. http://www.tribune.com.ng/news2013/index.php/en/news/item/20340-fg-vows-to-protect-nigeria’s-multiple-languages.html |

You want to protect Nigeria's languages by encouraging the adoption of french as a second language. What an irony. 4 Likes |

Ayekotoo: From a largely careless public. Many Nigerians with knowledge of their native language don't speak it to their children, speaking English instead, and expect such kids to know the language, then wonder and worry that their languages are zipping down. I know this since I'm a child of such Nigerians. |

Vowed to protect Nigerian Languages by introducing French in UTME? That is not even the case, after UTME, what next? Where will the students be admitted to? The closed universities? Una better think well about this ASUU strike |

I think it is the duty of every ethnic group to promote their languages. Nigeria is multi dimensional, the best we can do is to train our children to speak and write our languages. Government has a role to play but with the government on ground, i dont think its possible. They re just full of promises without any or little to show for it. Yoruba, hausa and igbo are the major indigenous language that cannot go into extinction, the rest re at the mercy of government. |

There's Nothing They Can Do About It. Young Parents Would Keep Bringing Their Kids Up With English Language Whether The Parents Can Construct A Simple English Sentence Or Not. It All Depends On The Environment The Kid Is Being Brought Up For Him Or Her To Understand Native Languages. Even Me Sef, I'll Bring Up My Kids With English Language. I Can't Lie. |

Mass failure in English language examination, let alone English & french. |

I think General Abacha declared french as our second national language. But problem with nigeria is that there is always problem of inconsistency of policies. nigeria is a fake country. One nigeria is the problem Professor Rufa’i, said the study of French Language in Nigeria, was particularly key, considering the fact that “ all our neighbouring countries are French-speaking” and that apart from English Language, French Language is of the key international languages. She commended the French government for huge investment in promoting the language and development of Nigeria’s education sector. Speaking french is necessary because many of our neighbors speak french. 1 Like |

what a useless leadership mtssw they are talking languages and forget education hmm. we just need good leaders we must dump pdp and go for the better alternative. APC by gods willing will win 2015 for us to have a better leadership |

Afam4eva: Yes and yes. French Language is a key international language as stated by the minister and it's highly important and necessary for us (nigerians) to be able to communicate with our neighbors. If we have viable nigeria, interaction with our neighbors would be much. 1 Like |

Mtchewww no be nigeria we dey? This is just cheap words from the federal government to confuse the public so as to think they are really working. How does french promote our language? Thanks to the south west governors for Considering Yoruba As Language Of Instruction in schools. I think these are people with vision and agenda to save the nation, culture and tradition from going extinct. GEJ, SHEPOPOTAMUS, FEDERAL GOVT AND PDP SHOULD GO AND SIT DOWN. They are confused and got nothing to offer........2015 mission.....sweep animal out of government offices |

While I think that we should adopt a language that will unify us as nigerians.....since it is obvious we can't choose hausa igbo or yoruba, why don't we just take pigin instead. Everybody speaks it and is also unique to us...Abi how una see am. My opinion,you're entitled to yours 1 Like |

juman:We should learn to fix home before fixing outside. Let's harness our own languages before adding insult(french) to injury(english). If anybody wants to learn french, the person should do so but it reeks of 1diocy for the government of the day to tell us to learn another foreign language as a second language. Why don't we promote Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba and export to the world. When will we stop importing and start exporting. |

juman: Why shouldn't we learn mandarin( a Chinese language) too. Afterall, It is the most spoken language on earth. What is even the advantage of nigerians speaking multiple languages? how does it benefit us? I know that it divides us. Can someone tell me what benefit we get from speaking different languages? |

I wish Franch was the firs to colonize Nigeria! This is coming rather too late. Anyway, better late than never. But please we should try to atleast know how to say "come" and "go" in our local dialect even if the government does not want to believe that our local dialect is gradually going into extinction. If this is a way to harmonize Nigerians, i think there will be no more conflict btw d SW and the SE, d North and the Sw & SE, and finally, which is the most important, between d SW, SE, North and the rest. |

WTF is French? Please try save my local dialect, it's almost going extinct. I don't think the speakers presently are up to 300,000 people majority are the old fellas. #savemylanguagealert |

The Article is not about protecting Nigeria's languages, but about adopting French as our second language.Only the first paragraph spoke about protecting Nigeria's languages.The title is misleading. |
