We must change our official language to a better language. Maybe hausa or Swahili.

exotik:

why not igbo?

exotik:

lol, so u honestly believe because we speak different languages is the root of our problems? and when we adopt one language, we will all be united against our so-called enemies and our problems would be resolved? that’s a rather simplistic approach.

and u are propagating this because you don’t like the english definition of the word “black”. so how about you just stop calling yourself black, and start identifying as brown or yellow or whatever color you deem fit? don’t you think that will be better instead of adopting another language entirely and doing away with yours?

and oh, i guess u dont mind identifying as nigerian even though the word nigeria was derived from the word niger which is another european-word meaning black? so maybe we should also rename the entire country as abokiria derived from the hause word aboki meaning friend?

exotik:

ok then, nigeria should be renamed abokiria, and henceforth we should all be called abokis. is that cool with u?

igbo2011:

Yes let's do it.

sara j:

Good for you! I take this wll be your last
time uttering or writing another word in
English.

sam4all:

if we dont take time our language will die because we now use now used, foreign language to teach our children more than own own.
thank

igbo2011:

Thomas Sankara changed the name of his country to Burkina Faso which means land of the upright men. Nigeria should do the same and do it in a hausa word.

ezeagu:

Where exactly are you from?

Booshman:

Non-Nigerian here. What's "Abokiria" mean?

igbo2011:

As long as we use black and dark to describe us this is bad for us. We must change our official language to a better language. Maybe hausa or Swahili.

phreakabit:

Umm, That part . . . . . I dont see the connection besides theres no way on earth I am going to start speaking some Hausa crap as my official language when I know how to speak the most beautiful language on earth already (and I dont mean English) .

igbo2011:

As in better language I mean AFRICAN language. We need to unite with one language. I don't care if it is Hausa, Swahili, Yoruba, Igbo, Xhosa, Aashanti, etc. We need to unite.

redsun:

The only time black is positively used is when it is got to do with bank account. An account in black tend to be credible. Another good use for black is black gold-oil. Oyinbo language is the bane of blackman disillusionment.

PAGAN 9JA:


define Africa. does it include the arab areas like libya, egypt, etc


also unity in language can only be truly achieved with geographical unity. and we might have to invent a new language, because, say me as a Haussa would never agree Yoruba to be the official language of Africa. it is just unfair.
