I have always admired the Igbo people. Unlike my Yoruba people, Igbos are very good at passing on their language and traditions to their children wherever they live. Hardly can you see an Igbo child who will not understand and speak the language at age 6. Not like the Yorubas who view speaking Yoruba as a sign of backwardness. We sure have a lot to learn from the Igbos on this and other issues.

Please let a course on the Rise and Fall of the state of Biafra also be compulsory. it's good Igbos know their 20th century history as well as their language.

Serendipity: I am Igbo, but this is the apogee of rudderlessness. Igbo is a microscopic langiage and the knowledge of it is more or less useless. This is truer given that the majority of pupils that will attend that glorified secondary school varsity are Igbos who in most cases were taught the subject in high school and have thus gotten a smattering of the language.
you're a lost soul, Even white Men cherish ur language (Igbo), Idoit.

Okay. We have seen you. Because you cant speak yoruba doesnt mean I cant speak it. H



In a nutshell, you are saying, Hardly can I see a Yoruba child who will speak the language at age 6?

It isn't a bad idea....

My only problem is that the teaching of Nigerian languages in this country is done in such a way that it is sometimes difficult for beginners to learn.

If the University can divide learners into beginners, intermediate and advanced classes, it would be much better.

Other universities should do same.....

Are we truly sure that this man is a professor? Introducing language as a compulsory course at university level? I think that should be the case in both primary and secondary school levels in the entire region. Why would anyone try to make life difficult for others? Language as a subject is not what one can master in just one year. Or, is professor saying that the students will study the course for their entire stay in the school? We have too many people in this country who couldn't reason well. No management will endorse it, no student will find it funny.

I'm igbo but don't support this. Why not the usual 'Nigeria Peoples and Culture' that is compulsory for all year 1 students. And even igbo language will be compulsory, why not in year 1 instead of 2?
Well since aragbesola said he would make Yoruba language the language of instruction in all osun schools, then I see nothing with this except that it should be for all freshers not yr 2

the best at it is the hausas. No matter the affluence, you see Hausa children born even in Europe and America speaking their language fluently. Some affluent igbo families don't allow vernacular in their homes, but the good thing is that they mostly go home for Xmas or easter, and the children mingle with their mates and learn a thing or 2.
English is not our mother tongue, let's teach our children our language.
Remember that the author of Roots was able to trace his original home back to Gambia after 7 generations because of the local language that was passed from generation to generation

NnamdiN: Shouldn't be compulsory. Imagine a yoruba/hausa person carrying over an igbo language course ? It's weird. French was compulsory in high school, how many of us actually know french ?

why do you fail to see the bigger picture. We are talking about language preservation and your more concerned about pleasing outsiders. This speaks of your self worth

Measures to ensure they speak Igbo are more paramount than those of SEners.
