Yoruba As Official Teaching Language In South-west Nigeria by Okikiade(m): 12:51am On Sep 07, 2013
According to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) which reported that, this proposal was part of the agenda at a meeting on Development Agenda for Western Nigeria (DAWN) in Ibadan recently.
Yoruba will be adopted as official language of instruction in primary schools of the South-West geopolitical zone. Thus, bringing back the old days;Ibagbepo Eda (Family Living),Litireso Ede Yoruba (Yoruba Literature),Imo Ijinle Sayensi(Integrated Science), etc.
Is this a development tool that will ensure movement towardself-reliant nation;or an instrument of disintegration? IMO, it will save Yoruba Language from going into extinction and also help to improve some area aspect in our cultural upbringing (as a true African, culture matter)!
I know there will be much uproar but it will help in retracing our lost background heritage values! In his own opinion, Dr Olufemi Ajayi, the Vice Dean, Faculty of Agriculture, OAU, “Nigeria’s multi-lingual nature would constitute a challenge”. Apart from diverse ethnic groups, he said there were no adequate human and capital resources to implement the policy but it would be a perfect idea if Yoruba is the only language in Nigeria! Your takes?

It can be a way out to have a confederal education system as well as system of government! SOS to save indigenous cultural values,norms,good customary preaching,self-estimation of African pride! We can also works toward having our own unifying language like Pidgin English! But Queen's English is a far distant language in achieving self-sustaining nation! IMO
