musicwriter: I salute ur courage and intellect to speak on this subject matter, in as much our generation is gradually waking up to realize we've been chained by the colonial masters right from our subconscious making it difficult to think freely and forced us to perpetually remain in slavery, I understand we need to go back to our root and make our indigenous language priority in learning. then as a nation, a united Nigeria with diversified cultural background, what do think would be a solution to communicate effectively across different ethnic group without segregation or disintegration? 1 Like |

ezeagu: Nobody has advocated that English be banned completely. Of course, English should still be studied, but not placed above our native languages. That's what I said, and that's the way its done in Asia, except Philippines and India. Over there English is not a compulsory subject in school. Only those interested in studying English do so. And for your information, there's no country in the world as diverse as Indonesia!. Indonesia have over 6,000 islands inhabited by people speaking various Indonesian and Malay dialects!. But, their visionary leaders made the cultural revolutions I'm talking about and was able to get their people study under one language. How about Malaysia? Malaysia has over 300 islands speaking various Malay dialects!. Still, they achieved same feat as Indonesia. They proactively reconstructed themselves and adopted a common native language for knowledge acquisition. You also cited inability to speak English fluently; what about Pidgin English? Are we also unable to speak Pidgin widely? As you can see, our diversity has nothing to do with stopping us study in our native languages, rather we've sunk deep in mental slavery cum intellectual slavery. You see, I've followed this thread to end to see the best argument anybody has against making our native languages a priority in school, but your core arguments has already been disproved, not even by me, but by Asian cultures- proving clearly there's something wrong with black man in Africa. I'm just scared right now about our future. Africa will be re-colonized in the next 100 years, unless something urgent is done. See you later. Goodbye. 1 Like |

bmdflo: Thanks for your concern my brother. Everything we need to do has already been done by Indonesia and Malaysia- two countries that were also once colonized and are much more diveresed than Nigeria. In fact, check my last reply to @ezeagu (just above), and also read the link on my signature. Note: We were getting there in the 80's towards making our various native languages a priority in schools, but suddenly the government changed her mind. It was the same period Malaysia and Indonesia was restructuring their system of education. In those days when we in primary school Igbo was compulsory in school. And the ministry of education used to regularly send Igbo professors to every school in the South East to monitor Igbo education. I think one Mr. Fafunwa was the education minister, but suddenly the innitiative stopped in the early 90's. 1 Like |
