The constant selling out of culture in favour of European culture, the favouritism of European languages on this forum is enough to implicate how lost most Nigerians on this forum are.

I do salute a few people though like Odumchi, Macof, Bigfrancis who keep it real with their culture and are not selling out their culture in favour of another.

You see many threads for Portuguese learning, German learning, Spanish learning, etc however there is a huge lack of African language threads. What exactly does German for example have to do with Nigerian culture. This is a disgrace. Everyone wants to be like everyone else with no pride in who they are. Even Ajuran, has more pride in who he is more so than the Nigerians here.

I just find it disgraceful to learn a language that won't benefit them especially if that country does not like them. Since when have Germans liked Nigerians? Since when have the Portuguese liked Nigerians? It just seems like major inferiority complex.

On what bases are you making this claim.. cause I kinda disagree with you
Re: Nigerians Have Very Low Self-esteem by solowork: 4:10pm On Dec 13, 2013
The notion that learning INTERNATIONAL languages shows a lack of appreciation for your own culture and therefore amounts to low-self esteem is a little warped. If you can speak one or two Nigerian languages already and you decide to learn Portuguese or Spanish just for the fun of it, I don't see anything wrong with that and it does not mean you have low self-esteem. So open your mind, explore the world, learn an international language because the world is REALLY becoming a global village and you don't want to be left out.

First of all, you do not know what "low self-esteem" is.

That aside, next time, DO NOT generalize.

So the desire to learn another language so that you can expand your range of communication is a bad thing? This forum keeps getting dumber by the day.
