Learning is a gradual process... you know what you learn, you were not born with knowledge, you seek for it.

Oga i'm versed in sciences and our local dialects. In chemistry alone, we have roughly 2 million words with no native interpretation for these words. Will you create interpretations for these words? Rather than go back, should we not be matching forward? Tell me of what use will this be when people graduate? The ones that learnt in english a language they understand are still mediocres, you want to now worsen the situation. Phew

willzx:
Its too late... this would have worked in the 60s, 70s... now we are ALL English... local language is dying and will die. Serious. Its English all the way...

What value do you get speaking your language... only to your parents and siblings... you can't speak in at work, unless you work in a local place... lol...

we need to promote our languages.i am a yoruba man nd nothing cn stop me from speaking my language which is yoruba.#omo karo ojire

Wasting ideas & time..
The ones we have learned in English what have we done with it, so fg pain is diversifying into traditional method of teaching.. Imagine my son comes back from school and said he was taughtmaths/English in izon, yoruba, Igbo etc language

DrObum:
No be indigenious language those SW teachers dey use teach everything including english language

So, how's this news?

perhaps you grown up in Lagos, native Igbo lang is what they used in most Anambra private sch even the principal I worked with then will be warning the students to stop speaking vernacular in Igbo language. no sw private sch tolerate that, and I can say it boldly that the public sch I went to, I was taught in English lang thru out except Yoruba lang


so what's your point man?

mrkunlex:

Language promotion is already in our curricula, every school practices Wednesday as our national day, we havelocal languages what more? You want to force it down people's throats?

Confusion at it's peak!

This is what you have when the president surrounds himself with people with no track records. Everything is trial and error!

No seriousness here.....

OUR LANGUAGE, OUR PRIDE!

Your pride, your kingdom.
We only use English in Nigeria because this is a uniting language.

Without English, there is nothing uniting us. You may gain great knowledge in your own local language but your understanding is useless to the other guy who does not speak it.

You will create even more conflict than we have now. And people will generally move back to their villages. We can no longer share a common currency...

Basically.. Nigeria will come to an end without English.

I will advise you learn in your native language so that you that know the difference between 'its' and 'it's' better.

Teaching in local languages will not affects the original terminolgy used in each subjects, rather it will create atmosphere of better understanding.

They should stop all these frivolous inclusions.Abi how would describe kinetic energz,quadractic equatn,H02,Matrix graph,exponent,obtuse angle,logarith antlog sine consine tan alfa for me Yoruba..leave that thing bros

Stuuuupid prehistoric idiots in government coming up with stuuuupid prehistoric ideas.
These fools labor to reinvent the wheel.

Nigeria doesn't even have enough teachers of basic science in basic English, let alone in in local languages.

And by the way, considering that we have 250 indigenous languages in Nigeria, are going to attempt to teach science in 250 different languages ?

Garbage in government = garbage ideas out.

help me ask them o.

they should tell me the meaning of surd, atomic energy, proton, neutron, nuclei, probability, statistics, intersect, methane, ph level in any nigerian dialect and i will kip wayet

CodeTemplar:
Work places will now have to use politics to chose language of communication.

Hausa language is the "official language" of NNPC Abuja and the Villa..

nairavsdollars:
X raised to power Y. How can you say that in Indigenous language?

That is a small thing nah, in Igbo...

X e buliri na ike nke Y.

Just imagine...This stupid regime will really go down as wasted years in the development of Nigeria.

Were you born as a English man? if not, its not a crime to know how to speaks more than a language.

I work as a full time editor and have worked with over 120 Nigerians in the past 18 months, see out of the 120 i worked with, not more than 3 impressed me as intelligent minds, though not even geniuses self, they were just there, the remaining 117 could barely put ideas together and convey them in english, what happens when we stretch tins further and demand interpretation in local dialect that would necessitate more mental activity? tell me

ALAYORMII:
Who are those that are going to teach it??

Science class will be like

Ti e ba mu hydrogen pelu oxygen papo a fun yin ni omi

Are there terms for alkanes, alkene, alkynes, sets, in our local dialect?


We should move forward and not backward for God's sakes. If it's not enough to make fulani invaders kill people anyhow, this administration wants to take this country back to the stone ages. Phew, even Modern day Chinese many are shying from theirnative language.

You maybe right, but that shouldnt stop students from learning in local languages.

i cnt stop laughing when i hear teachers telling their students to stop speaking vernacular

Smh.

They want to start something that they can't finish.... Political gra gra

mrkunlex:

$ 1 Billion on boko haram waste

$ 5 Billion on Ajaokuta wasted, now been put up for concessioning

over $15 wasted on refineries over the past 16 years

Power, over $16

Crude oil research in North over 120 Billion alone in the past 3 years wasted

Now, what have these guys ever started and finished?

Now I can see they have nothing to offer, just throwing us stupid things to distract us.
