That's why north is the only place you find all the tribes in Nigeria. Northerners are sincere and accomodating.

Abu m nwa afo igbo. But the way igbos hype the Queens language is sickening. You hardly hear an igbo indigent conversing with the language in public. Even In the place of work, they will back up their silliness with the excuse of English being the official language. I remember accompanying my sister to her place of work in one of the South West States... The way the yorubas were communicating with their language excited me. But when my sis wanted to collect something from her igbo colleague, she used the almighty "official language" and it was a Saturday o.
The way we are going, I won't be surprised if the coming generation gives igbo language a run into extinction. Igbos must embrace their language. The next generation must embrace it.ethnicity is becoming entrenched in Nigeria and igbos can not be left out.

People are feeding their families from their knowledge of English language. We should feel sorry for the majority of Northerners who are missing out on these opportunities

Just like we should feel sorry for the majority of Russians, Chinese and Germans who are unable to speak English and therefore cannot feed their families right?

This is what bigotry laced with chronic inferiority complex can do to the brain.

Never mistake nor tie the level of proficiency in the English language to economic empowerment. BBC did a documentary titled Forgetting Igbo (which l had saved into my phone while it was airing) which reflects how the Igbos are loosing their linguistic identity.

I and my siblings were born and raised in Lagos but my parents ensured that what was spoken at home was only Igbo and that instilled deep proficiency of both parents dialects. Growing up we the kids only got to communicate in Yoruba and English outside our home, having neighbours from Mbaise, Mbano, Owerri, Nnewi, Orafite and Onitsha enriched and diversified our spoken igbo.

My proficiency in both the Igbo and Yoruba languages has opened doors for me outside Nigeria. There is nothing wrong in understanding and communicating in English language but not at the loss of one's linguistic identity as Italian, Japanese, Spanish, German etc will never give way to the English language.

The last time I passed through the East all I heard was Igbo, every single person was speaking it. Your assumptions are exaggerated, please visit any town in the East and see for yourself

Something I I've noticed about you people from the North is that you seem to enjoy the fact that majority a/the majority of your brethrens brethren are not learned and cannot communicate in any foreign language.

I hope you know that the world is now a global village and those who know at least one major foreign language fluently are earning $$$ from it. Besides this, if you can fluently communicate in it your opportunities are endless

But I am not surprised that as usual you will see people defending something that should be a cause of for concern. How many of your people have you encouraged to go to school? Hausa can be learned in their homes but why is it that majority a/the majority of your people cannot even communicate in the simplest English?

A person who cannot speak English is unlearned? What school(s) did you attend if any?

Go and also learn to write, speak, and communicate in English correctly before you admonish others to do so.
