PAGAN 9JA: I don't want to be identified by my peers, although it might be too late. I shouldn't even have said that out of the major Indian languages I only know Bengali. It's a language that's spoken around Bengali speakers. |

I dont see learning a new language as a sign of low self esteem.Our Nigerian language may not be of much help outside this country.so i dont see much reason to bother learning yoruba,housa,efik and the rest as an Igbo guy. |

Adamskuty: mumu,confused deranged hypocrite.. Ignorant lil fellow Nope. I'm an Atheist. I am the Atheist that is also a Pope( the ultimate Paradox). I have no time to worship any Violent Arabic God or pay homage to that Pedophile called Muhammad, or scream praises to the blue-eyed Jesus. You are nothing but a SLAVE, you insult me for questioning a Religion that was imposed on your Forefathers. If you must worship a god, why not worship our African Gods? you fools left our African Gods to go and worship the Arab god known as Allah. Confused Idiot! 4 Likes |

IGNORANCE! Do you know how the greatest economies and nations got to where they currently are today? I'll tell you, they learnt from each other, throughout out the course of history different culture mixed to get what we have today, Look at the Americans, Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Germans, French and many others they didn't get where they are today by resisting change. Learning from other cultures that are evidently more successful than your own is not a bad thing, you don't have to completely discard your own but you can mix it. Culture is the way of life of a people, if that culture no longer serves the needs of the people then appropriate modification is in order. 4 Likes |

Op your assertion is flawed,however I believe you're right to an extent. But learning foreign languages doesn't connote inferiority complex or low self-esteem..Then don't generalize,your assertion doesn't apply to every nigerian. |

Scorpionking: most African cultures and traditions are backward and incompatible with first world development and progress. embrace the truth and it will set you free. I encourage Nigerians to adopt only the positive american and european and japanese culture. Inferiority complex, thanks for further proving my post |

GooseBaba: Any Nigerian that DEMONIZE his/her ancestral lineage history,culture, language or belief is a simpleton with a heavy dose of inferiority complex, rationalized stupidity soaked in the stinky juices of low self esteem.. Thank you my brother |

Fulaman198: Can they speak the native language or not? There's absolutely nothing wrong in learning a new language it can only benefit you. |

I feel especially sorry for the women. As one pointed out earlier, they have the lowest self-esteem. Many of them try so hard to imitate celebrities. In fact, I abhor it when I see a Nigerian woman trying to talk like an American or something she is not. Or when a Nigerian woman doesn't even know her own language. |

Scorpionking: Black people are a very s.tupid people honestly,Only black people make these s.tupid thread and oppose progress. The japanese borrowed and embraced the positive white culture but black people are still yapping about slavery and colonization. More inferiority complex and perpetuated self hate.
