Would have appreciated this post if it was written in Ibo, Hausa or Yoruba.

That your third point is not correct tho.
Singapore educational system is in English and not Chinese .

Le Kwan Yew made it that way.

Developing is about being a serious people, not really the language per se.

Add "mixed marriages" to the list. I am my wife are from different ethnicities. Our son speaks neither of our languages

martineverest:

Even after speaking all the English language at school. That doesn't stop you from learning how to speak your mother tongue.

But if you 're allowed to use you native language in school, I'm very sure your English language speaking and writing ability wouldn't be as good as it is now.

Whatever they did then, was for your own good.

BUTCHCASSIDY:

Begged you?

that's not the point.. Tattle tale

Anyways how u na? hope say u do am well well?
I think I've exhausted the pidgin that's applicable in this conversation so I'm going back to English

Its late and I wanna run around a few more threads before I sleep. bye an stop bein' a snitch

Benjom:
Can't really blame the decision to embrace English language above others. It's a universal language... and so should be given that primary position. Even you, OP will prefer your child to say "Come here" rather than "Bia-neba" or "Zo mana koi".

I don't think so tho...

I think it depends on the family as a whole, because if only the mum is the one speaking to you, and your dad does not, his own side of the family does not, and the child does not see the need to communicate with his siblings in that language, it is a list battle.

U dont have to blame buhari on diz, i think am d one at fault.

back in dose dayz when i was a class captain in my pry school, i r'mba mr suraju would give me an order to write d names of vernacular speakers....
power was in my hand, my classmate go begin dey beg me buh at d end, dem go do d needful by dropping 5box, bribing...u may call it, buh i dont blame dem, who get mind to face mr suraju double headed cane bonded with rubber band??...
it's a matter of, u pay me or u see pepper...
after few weeks, story changed, regular customers no dey roja me again, class go dey silent as if recession grip my classmate vocal cord, traces of staggered english began to emanate...

after some month, my mate kum begin dey tear english lyk bro soyinka...
na so diz guyz spoil market 4 me o...
had it been, i ain't collecting bribe and mr suraju's order was ignored, native language would have been dominant.
sorry, y'all can put d blame on me..

Audrinakane:

This is so true, I really hate it. I am Igbo and you see most Igbo's raising their children with English, it scares me that in the nearest years we will lose the beauty of our language.

NarnieSnyper:


That's why I don't Mingle with my cousins or uncles because they'll definitely start teasing me or when we go for occassions, they'd be like "who's this one forming for us with Asusu beke" and I'll feel so embarrassed. Seriously I feel sorry for the fact it[igbo] will soon be extinct.

By the way, u sef be "my mama say I be igbo"?

asuustrike2009:

So how do they understand each other? Remember countries speaking single language are more bonded that those speaking various languages.

Audrinakane:

Am trying to understand your last statement but if you are trying to say I might be one of those that were raised with English( I stand to be corrected ) nope, I read,speak and write Igbo fluently.

alexistaiwo:
Despite repeated warnings from people around me that I am not suited to the task. I have been thinking a lot lately about life and death.
So I thought if truly 90% of human population will end up in hell. Maybe ending up in hell wouldn't be so bad.
Especially if most of our former military heads of state Babaginda, Ojukwu, Obasanjo, Buhari, Abacha, Ironsi and Co will be there.
With those fellas around, we might just plan a coup, overthrow the devil and take over hell.
My only worry is that they will loot it dry.

NarnieSnyper:


Exactly what I meant, sugar . TBH, I will surely Marry a woman who's fluent in igbo to ease up things.

Wait oo u Just came to mind #gets down on one knee#

Audrinakane:

am shocked. Let me do fasting and praying first

NarnieSnyper:


Wait fess, U want me to remain on my knees till u pray and fast ? Haba, but I have already fasted for both of us na

orlahtohbadt:
Thats cos u didnt try to speak the two languages to him while growing up... The baby's brain can easily assimilate things in such a way that he can even learn a hundred languages at a time... I was born into a house like yours and I can speak 3 languages,Yoruba, Igbo and English... So its really no excuse

Audrinakane:

Sorry my bad. Get up dear, I have accepted . When are you coming to see my papa

NarnieSnyper:


I don't want to derail but be sure to see me this weekend. I need see Pa Orji for palm wine and other things.

Nne, I'll make u the happiest woman on earth. Our kids would be made of chocolate and vanilla just like their mother. this I promise
