What language do you think all these people will be speaking at this meeting? Hmm, we have Yoruba man, Efik man, Ibibio man, Hausa man, Ikwerre man, Igbo man... So i guess English! I am not a fan of English (i rejected studying it as a course when I could not get my desired course in my desired university at my desired time) I have never been to England I do not pledge loyalty to the queen Nor do i claim allegiance to colonialism or neo colonialism But see now, they cannot speak Yoruba here now Can they speak Igbo here Or can they converse in Hausa Even pidgin they no go fit Why then do i get disturbed and attacked when I travel to any part of Nigeria and can't speak their language? The worst places are places with the 3 dominant languages in Nigeria. It irks and irritates me. We who do not belong to any of the 3 are not minority or sub human or sub Nigerian now I am trying but I don't know if I have the gift of languages, why do people show great hostility and lack of hospitality in those places with the 3 largely spoken languages in Nigeria? I ask those who are Yoruba that serve or get transferred to the East if they learnt Igbo and they can even spit at the idea. I ask Hausa/Fulani in the West if they can speak Yoruba and they turn their faces in disgust at the question. I ask the Igbos who stay in the West (and who may understand Yoruba a little) why they don't speak Yoruba and they curse and swear and quarrel. I give up. When people ask me about my tribe, I say I am a Nigerian. If that does not suffice, walk away permanently. Don't be deceived majority of Nigerians do not believe in one Nigeria and it's getting worse. Even among those who inter marry it is chaotic i tell you. # think Look for the old song, Lingua franca by Evi Edna Ogoli, you will stop asking the unnecessary question of, where are you from? Do you understand so so so language |
