English language was created by illiterates who couldn't speak French, Spanish or German. That's why it's such an illogical language, actually one of the worst language on earth.

It originated same way our Pidgin English is today. It was only in 1362 that English became an official language.

This's why we need to standardize our own Pidgin English and make it our official language in Nigeria, because that's exactly what the British did in 1362.

You are just spewing nonsense. All languages are complex. The fact that you don't understand it does not make it any less valid or acceptable.

Chai I agree with you ooo...if pidgin English is legalized then we don't need to focus much on French and other regional languages in most part of Western Africa cos alot of Citizens from Western African countries xan aure communicate in pidgin English...imagine an hausa man,yoruba man,igbo man,Cameroonian, ghanian,bene man et.al communicating in pidgin English..I'm sure they can flow well.

Although being an economist and a computer engineer among other things, I find teaching English to be the easiest of all the other subjects I have taught in the past in London, UK. Today I'm making a very good living teaching English in the Middle East. The pay is quite good and it's entirely tax free.

You are just spewing nonsense. All languages are complex. The fact that you don't understand it does not make it any less valid or acceptable.

I've noticed these days you're all over the place quoting me on ''one liners'' and insults. It defies all logic why someone would appear out of the blues insulting someone for no reason whatsoever.

Please note that I do not respond to one liners or insults as that's only symptomatic of people who can't hold intellectual debate. You can pally with literally thousands of members on here who can relate with you, but I'm not one of them.

The fact of what I said about English language is known fact among linguists world over. In fact, one of the video I posted made it clear that English was originally spoken by ''peasants'' who couldn't speak French, German or Spanish. And these are British historians telling their own history.

Of course, all languages are complex but some are more complex than others.

Lol.. .at the guy claiming to be an intellectual but applies little or no logic or intellect to his arguments. You always like to twist facts to suit your subjective views which is why i quote you so as to stop you from creating more s.tupid people. None of aspersions matter. What matters is that the English language is the most recognized and used language in the world of finance, economics, sports, etc claiming that because it was created by peasants does not take away it's validity or importance. Everything starts from somewhere.

People like you who think with their ''eyes'' instead of your brain are largely to blame for where Africa is today. What a shallow being!.

And there it is. I have countered you with logic and common sense and as usual you have nothing to comeback with. You say the English language is not what it claims to be and and useless but yet you have been using it to communicate your views. Lol....i always enjoy our little spar. You always come out looking s.tupid. You know what would impress me? starting voicing your discontent for the language by responding with another language other than English and lets see how far you'll get. Did you see that? A light bulb just went up in your brain saying "damn, this nigga's right? How does he do it? I'd better shut up now"

You are welcome. grin

As good as that sounds, it is not feasible in a country like Nigeria. It has too much diversity, as there are hundreds of local languages, so how does the hausa communicate with the Idoma etc.

There would probably be an ethnic civil war if Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa gets declared an official language.

He doesn't realise that English is the world's foremost language. Whether we use it or not, we must still have to learn it otherwise Nigerians can't relate with people in other parts of the world.
