Please, read patiently...

I visited a private school recently where my colleague's son attends and discovered how the teachers and students/pupils were straining themselves unnecessarily in order to speak like the English man! It was just so annoying how they were trying so hard to speak through their nose!!! Do we really need all these? Must we speak like the English man before we assume the form of real humans? Knowing how to construct your grammatical expressions perfectly well and the rules of English language, for me, is sufficient! We Africans must not speak through our noses!

Regions of the world are different and so are the people living in these regions. We all possess our various languages which are unique. When will Africans take off these ill-fitting gowns of neo-colonialism garnished with inferiority complex? Do you see the Chinese, they cherish their language! Even the ones that speak English do so in their own unique way . They don't try to twist their mouths...yet, in terms of development and technology, they have left us, millions of yards behind! Most of these countries that do better than us economically study these technologies in their own local languages. Yes, they do!!!

Now, these same kids that are seriously taught how to speak through their noses don't even know the name of their local government area, talk more of their community or village! They can't even speak or understand their mother's tongue! Only yesterday, I called a boy of 12 and asked him which state he is from in Nigeria. Lo and behold, he could tell me! He didn't even know what his name 'Ejowoke' means in Urhobo language! What a pity!!! Most parents are really messing up when it comes to teaching their children their language and culture! They wouldn't do that! No. They prefer to see their kids speak through their noses like David Cameron or Michael Smith ...and so, they end up paying huge amount of money as fee for their kids to speak elocution!

God bless Kobina Sekyi even in his grave for that book 'The Blinkards'. Reminds me of Mr Okadu, Mrs Brofusem and Mr Tsiba.
