Politics / Re: No Leader Has Spoken For Africa Like President Tinubu Did At UNGA, Says Agbakoba by PurestBoy(m): 4:38am On Oct 01, 2023

That's a fantastic idea!

The way the Chinese and Japanese solved that problem is that they first developed a MODEL for translating Western scientific words into Chinese and Japanese, respectively- such that whatever new scientific word they couldn't find in their language, they simply use that model to create new word for it. That would be a short cut instead of starting from kindergarten, although the words that would be created may be too mechanical instead of natural. But that's a different discussion.

Let me say, nobody is advocating to ban English language as it's an essential language in the world we live in today. But it's a culture made up with human being like ourselves that achieved that feat. A linguist friend of mine, Noam Chomsky, told me that ALL languages are equal and the same. I wish I could show you what I asked him and what he replied. If you want I can screenshot it.

When we prioritize our native languages in school, English would become a subject you can choose to study or not. That's the way it's done in China, Russia, Japan.
Only those interested in English language should study it.

You may have an African William Shakespeare or J.K Rollings in Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Gikuyu, Shona, Wolof, etc. But under the present system of education, we'll NEVER be able to discover them!! Many literary giants have died unknown simply because we've accepted someone's language.

A child may be very good in writing Igbo but not good in English. A child may be very good in writing Yoruba but not good in English, etc.

Again, how to begin is to prioritize our native languages in school or create a model for translation as I said earlier. It should be compulsory to get a credit in our native languages, then at least a pass in English. That's actually how it should be if we're in our right state of mind.

Hello Chief, I'm your strong follower on this space and I want to tell you something I noticed about the Hausas on social media. They usually post in Hausa language and comment too including their influencers on Facebook

no be to punish. U see any coach wey no fit shout for players for pitch wen they are playing rubbish is not a coach.

You must be very ready to scream and yell at players, else dey won't perform. This is what Pep does, Arteta learnt this as well. Putting hands in ur pocket won't do any magic.

Ancelloti and Zidane are the few I know who achieve great without yelling at players. Successful coaches yell and scream.

Pep that will still be complaining to the players to give their best even while leading with 2 goals margin

United had an opportunity to stop City from doing a treble & tallying their record but they were not dogged enough to stop it.

Can Inter do me the honours?🥺

It was easier for United to stop City than Inter.

Man City is good But Real Madrid is like a Army Battalion of War Veterans.
Old Die-hard Warriors! smiley cool

The Only Thing I like about you is that you Support my man, Messi. 😊

First of all, I am Not a Man Utd fan.

Secondly, EPL teams are Competing better in UCL than Spanish teams. In the 3,4 years, La Liga teams have been floppy in the group stages. sad

Thirdly, Spanish League no be EPL mate @All. La Liga is a WEAK Non-competitive league. Even Pedro said that his 2017 EPL win with Chelsea is GREATER dan the 4,5 la Liga he won with Barca.
See how West Ham gave Arsenal problems. And I will tell you that Man City will struggle and Drop points against the likes of Brendford and Brighton.😒 embarassed

Lastly, Man City will LOSE against Real Madrid once again. Madrid will use Their Experience to trimph over City. 🙂

City will oust Madrid, let's place 100k bet with the sport moderator or Seun?

However, as an archival XYZ I dont know what these kids do on campus anymore. They have destroyed jollification that was one of the avenue of reducing campus stress through the weekly gyration day-d. Only in Uniben do you see kegites members being gunned down this way. For instance in 2013 Ebose evans a.k.a papilo, Chief du azonoto, was also gunned down.


Don't mind him, kegites in my school days are intelligent folks and always jovial, I don't understand all there daysis language but had to be learning it small small by being close to them, very funny people and never fought anyone or one another, we gist, sing and vibrate palmie. Very easy going people. So why is Uniben different?
