{ninetofive's Hard Talk} Nigerians Study With Your Languages, Don't Be Fools

925,

I do apologizing for believing that the same "real spit" you feel you can give to your Nigerian brothers and sisters, is the same "real spit", I feel I can give to you, my Black Brother.

I ain't trying to fight with you. Just trying to revive your hope.

Drussilla,



me too my Sister, and I understand what you mean , don't mind me, I was just tripping.

925,

Thank you for your gracious response. Smile.

Reach One, Teach One.

925,

I think you misunderstood Donzman. I guess he was speaking about children of Chinese immigrants, children born in a foreign country and having all their education in a foreign language while speaking Chinese at home.

Sure. It's similar with me. But we are talking about education in a foreign language. These Chinese kids are an example that you can both cultivate your native language and learn at school in a foreign language achieving good results.

There again is the white lady, who has proved that only after one hour of telling someone that they are inferior, you can change their test scores, so they come out looking stupider than when they originally took the test.

Returning to your own language, is a way of saying, we and our things are NOT INFERIOR.

925, I do understand. But what have you done yourself?
I translated quite a lot of useful stuff into my native language and posted in on the Net (nobody would publish a paper version and pay me for it anyway ) and I know that it is used. Internet is a great tool and more and more people have access to it. If you rant about lack of books on whatever subject in Igbo, translate, publish and let people know that it is there. Or add more articles in Igbo to Wikipedia.

blonde1,




 


Is good you understand what I mean at last.






Is funny when you are in a thread I created on the very subject, asking me what I have done, is just too ironic.





I wont be standing here to give you accounts of all I 've done, while touting is equally acceptable, am more into campaigning for this changes on state and national level.

You are talking of resources as if they are lying some where and you just have to go and pluck it, is people that creates resources, is very noisome that you people always have this mind set like somebody should make those resources available for you. If as a group of people you make the right choices and impart knowledge the right way in your people and allow it to grow, then you are that way creating resources, because all the resources we need are there in our heads, we just need to trigger it, some times is so abstruse for me the way you guys reason, and it makes me mighty mad, what is such a big deal in translating texts into native languages? when people are already planning to travel to mars in about thirty years and are now beginning to cary out actions that would make it possible, what happened to doing things gradually,  if you don't learn how to stand on your feet, the possibilities of walking is gloomy.











if our leaders knows the value of education, they wouldn't have set up an education system that would be easily written off as nostrum, and people that are smart and passionate enough to know the value of education would have seek the most effective way of educating their people, which is the mothers tongue and would have equally searched for a way of making it available to the people, which is by making it free, by the way education should be free at all level, Awo did it in the western region and that shows that every thing is possible, Nigeria needs more leaders like Obafemi Awolowo, the problem most people have with him is the fact that he is very ethnocentric, but you don't blame him because his see's the Yorubas as a nation of its own, though he pusillanimously did not stand on that during the civil war which makes him an opportunist, we need leaders like him without the opportunism.









The problem with you is that you spend so much time thinking about the problems, without thinking of the course of the problems and the solution, and that is where the difference is, because NINETOFIVE don't think about problems, he see's problem think of the course and the solution, If the system [ ie if I can call what we have system ] is disjointed from the incipience you can not perform magic, to deal with a problem you have get to the nucleus of the problem, I don't see anything here but a lubricious bromide rhetorical gymnastics, I hear this every day and it lacks a lot of fore sight, nice trial though.








food for thought; some ones reality is a result of his/her yesterdays action,, you have a good heart but you are afraid because you still want to cling on to some very superficial things and is unfortunate you a not alone, most Africans are like that.

Donzman,

Very typical, you could not come up with anything intelligent, resulting to mud slinging is not the way out, am still waiting to hear anything worth listening to from you, very funny indeed, i 've not seen you trying to counter anything, all you depend on is your stinking mouth, I never told you am learned, you are the one who think I am,  ehm, on the contrary I don't think you are, try not to digress a lot next time, cause I could not care less.

reeks more of agreement laced with jealousy than disagreement.





Donzman,

Ogwo nsi na ja, you are the kind of people that  poison's and kill off the few brain people we have, I thought that when the older generation more like you  are gone, we would be done with idiots like you, but is pellucid I was wrong, you are so phucking jealous and very delusional, the more you talk the more you expose how low your IQ is.

There's nothing to say really

There are more concrete and explanatory reasons why Nigerians might not be doing well in school than it being because they learn in a foreign language,







Very Ironic.

very Ironic indeed, How can you say that there are more concrete and explanatory reasons why Nigerians might not be doing well in school than it being because they learn in a foreign language, when you don't really have nothing to say, more like you don't know.

Yeah, translate all the books from English to the 250 identifiable languages and IQ's will rise to 120, oh really?. . .It has nothing to do with a rotten education system or unqualified teachers, it's all about language, daftness at its best!

I suppose Nigerians like Wole Soyinka or Chike Obi have some extra chips embedded in their brains, arrant nonsense!. . .I suppose the same theory explains why African Americans are not doing well in school, their first language is ebonics, not English, you people amuse!. . .If we translate the textbooks to "You was chillin in ya room", their scores on the IQ test will rise by 40!

Infact Chike Obi had his math textbooks translated to Igbo before he could comprehend, how interesting, I just discovered that. 

The question is not whether we can translate the textbooks to our languages, the question is whether this translation will lead to an increase in IQ from 72 to about 100+ everything else being equal. Donzman thinks translating textbooks to another language is useless and will only satisfy ethnic sentiments, there are grassroot problems when it comes to education in Nigeria, unless we take care of those, changing languages means jackshit.

thank you , I know those who can think, would definitely understand what am saying.
