French is such a simple language, students spend 6-7years learning it in pri & sec schools yet most of these students can't speak NADA!
Teach them what they need to know not chung chiann ..

You don't have to learn their language just because you want to be like them..
before you know it, the teachers would clap for students speaking chinese but if they ever catch you speak yoruba, you'll be forced to pay #20 vernacular fee.

Ndipe: And will the chinese be told to adopt any Nigerian language/dialect in their educational curriculum? Kolomentality.

I really don't see any big deal in what fashola did ..afterall he didn't force it down anybodies throat ( though am a fan of all fasholas policies )
The fact that students will start learning chinese doesn't mean they are gonna forget their local languages... .take french as an example ..I remebered in my secondary school days I learnt french and am sure its like that in most public school but how many people speaks french today especially thru what they learnt in their secondary school days... Let's just see it as one of those policies to encourage the chinese to invest more in lagos and nothing more

Fam, that's the truth - China's buying everything up, and it's only a matter of time before they take over from Anglo-american dominance..

Their military is getting stronger as well - and their military doctrine is top-notch...

The Chinese are not playing..

No matter what, it will take them 25 years to meet up current US military level. See d cat and mouse both are playing in d Pacific. The US still remains on top for a long time to come.

I doubt that... They just tested an ICBM that can carry multiple nuclear warheads(the only one in the world) a couple of weeks ago... Their aircraft carrier should be ready soon - and the J20 stealth fighter is already superior to F22 - the Chinese are not playing..

It's just a matter of time brother, not 25 years... They have already started talking back to the Americans - and the Americans are getting scared of them by day... The fear of the chinaman is the beginning of wisdom, US can't afford a confrontation with China, and China isn't rushing for now - they're using the Sun Tzu doctrine..

Paul John:

I'm surprised at people's comment too. I learned french from my primary school till my SS classes, o boy I can't make a statement. Then I don't see why this is a big deal. All is to promote mutual relationship.

kmariko: TO THE MYOPIC NAIRALANDERS;

Please answer these questions

1. why do you on average only speak no more than 2 to 3 Nigerian languages fluently.
2.Have you protested that physics or chemistry was not taught in your native language- whatever that is but in English.
3. Why is common literature or and your OWN history not taught in your native language.
4.Why does America, Russia, Japan, Australia spend enormous amount of money to teach their kids Chinese.
5. Why does China, Japan , Russia and Brazil spend enormous amount teaching their kids english language.
6.Why does America spend enormous amount of money teaching their kids spanish.
7. Teaching your Kids other Languages does not negate the fact that your primary medium of communication in your country has been settled.

You guys should be thankful that you have a forward looking governor who understand that beneath it all it is all about the money.,., it is just the way the world works.

If you guys want to change it start with yourselves and make things people will crave to have. You do not ned to have the government to make it for you.
