sure, being able to communicate in the language like the Asians and North Americans is different, but we nigerians have killed and are still killing our local dialects for English language, the inferiority is so great that someone who cannot speak English properly is seen as uneducated as if being able to speak English language fluently is correlated with being literate
yeah and iam simply pointing out the door cause. poverty makes one inferior. abi how many first worlders do you see fighting to get this world visa. even Chinese are learning the English for the same reason. Who wan associate with poverty

THOSE ARE NOT IGBOS THAT U MET! if I have met 100 igbos in my life, 95% bear igbo names! Even me as an igbo guy, I DON'T HAVE AN ENGLISH NAME!
So go get ur stats right!

Baba that's you. Most Igbo's I have met hardly have Igbo names. It's Usually English and its very common.
