samwash: Hmn. Says who? In the Netherlands, they have more than one national language. They speak flemish and frisian in the Netherlands too. What happened is that the government promoted dutch as the main national language. Same thing can happen in Nigeria with 3 major languages being promoted as the national language- Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo. With government support and mutual understanding, this policy will work. We need to start from somewhere. 1 Like |

samwash:No!...Japanese and Chinese because of pride speak their own language...you don't see Japanese prime minister speak English in the UN meeting even if he can. See! igbo is dying. I see many Igbo youths that can't speak igbo, forming phonetics. Unlike Hausa and Yoruba that is taught from childhood. Many igbo parents sometimes willingly refuse teaching Igbo to their kids because they want them to appear more western or civilized which is very wrong. See many igbo brought ups in Lagos, Kaduna, kano etc can't speak igbo. In the North even in official setting they joyfully speak their hausa but in the east it is not the case. I don't know why many igbos sometimes pretend they can't speak igbo and this is rampant among young youths and those slay Queens...The language will slowly die with this mentality erasing our culture. We should encourage igbo to be spoken and no one should be shy to speak it. We igbos always try to appear more western which in the long run will affect our heritage. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

There is no difference between “Everyone must speak Igbo in school on Wednesday “ And “Vote APC or we throw you into the lagoon” Both espouse intolerance towards diversity. If you want to ‘save the Igbo language’, make it a compulsory subject and teach it rigorously in school. Same as how we do for English. Forcing non-Igbos to wear Igbo attire and speak Igbo language...that’s nonsense. 1 Like |

texazzpete: If you are not Igbo, but you school in the East, you should not be forced to wear Igbo attire. However, schooling in a Igbo State should be seen as an opportunity to learn the Igbo Language. My mum is Yoruba. She grew up in Calabar. She speaks Igbo, Yoruba and Calabar dialects including Efik. |

tobstarizhia: What do you have to say about these countries with 3 or more official languages; 1. Singapore: Chinese, English, Malay and Tamil. 2. Switzerland: English, German, Italian and Romansh. 3. Belgium: Dutch, French and German. 4. Bosnia and Herzogovina: Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian. 5. South Africa: Afrikaans, English, Zulu, Sotho...(11 official languages). Our diversity is not our problem. It is the greed and lack of empathy in our leaders and even ordinary nigerans to do the right thing that is the problem. Students should be allowed to speak languages of their choice among themselves. Why is it annoying if a middle class speaks poor English? It could be confusing but not annoying. Speaking a language well has to do with kind of experience that person had in his or her early years in that language. A child of the middle class spends considerable time with a nanny and parents that speaks poor English for a long time, may pick up the bad English while a child from a poor home that spends time watching cds not dstv of batman, Zack and Cody plus other american shows and reads for fun all those comprehension stories in English textbooks, such a child will most likely speak very good English even when the parents cannot speak English. 2 Likes |

Redman44: Igbo, Yoruba & Hausa has already be promoted in Nigeria by the government. For example wen the federal government want to make an important anoucement , they also relay it in the various major Nigerian languages.it will be pointless making the 3 major languages a national language. My agurement is that at least all Nigerians should be able to express themselves in English language both in speaking or in writing, not neglecting our local language. For example I meant a student of SS3 in one of the wester state, he couldn't speak English not to talk of expressing himself. I was so mad at him. I asked him does it mean if he leaves the Yoruba speaking state,so he can't express him self? 1 Like |

mvem:are they as diverse as we are? does japan or china have over 250 languages within its boundaries? if we all encourage our local languages over english then how should the country be governed? if buhari today can only speak fulani fluently and osibanjo only yoruba how are they going to communicate with each other and moreover the over 250 other ethnic groups? and should the government make provisions for maths, biology, chemistry to be translated into the over 250 ethnic groups individually? the problem of choosing to teach in our local language will bring far more problem and disunity than the common english. 1 Like |

Many Nigerians are willing to learn Chinese when they want to go and study in China, or learn German when they want to travel to Germany for business or pleasure. However when a Chinese man or woman comes here, we speak English to them and kowtow to them. If the Nigerian Government is serious about serious development for the nation, the teaching of our local languages and culture should be massively promoted in our Primary and Secondary schools. |

Redman44: Yes. You can learn by living in the East. Many Unilag students learn Yoruba just by living and interacting with people in Yaba. Nobody forced them to take lectures in Yoruba. You can also make Igbo a compulsory subject and that would help too 1 Like |
