The likes of Umeonyirioha, Okonjo-Iweala, Nwankwo, Okocha, Chimamanda and co who who have chosen to do something good with their lives and make NIGERIA proud, we will always celebrate and support.

But those ones who have chosen to become the proverbial prodigal sons and sons of anarchy, like Invictus, Kanu, Evans and co, we will also help facilitate their downfall

dominating everywhere and everything.
I don't blame that Rev. FR. because igbo domination is like a wide fire.
it'll start little and before you know it, it'll spread all over the place.
so he was only trying to stop the inevitable cheesy
Hehehehe
the blessed tribe
the most intelligent tribe in Africa and beyond
the most successful tribe in Africa.
you wonder why the enemies hates this glorious tribe so much.
it's because you can only hate something or someone better than you.
you don't hate someone you're better than.
but we're used to it, infact it's the major source of our motivation to keep soaring higher like Eagle.
God bless Umu Igbo world wide

The first paragraph is correct while the second is trash. Take note.

This is one of the rare good news you'll hear from Britain. But while you all rejoice, note that it was Britain that destroyed our native languages in the first place.

Beyond this, what African writers and educationalists need to do now is re-do the 1962 Makerere conference in Uganda. It was at that conference that Britain and the CIA fooled Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe to prefer English. Ever since, we became trained to see our native languages as inferior.

For details, see how Britain and the CIA deceived Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe to destroy African languages in literature

That meeting must be re-done and it should be made clear that the choice of Soyinka and Achebe has destroyed African languages, and therefore was the wrong decision.

Our native languages must replace the English language in schools and society- in all things. We must speak our native language, we must write in our language, learn in our language, believe what our ancestors believed and refine it. When we do that, our eyes will open and we'll discover who we really are. Only then shall we become free.

Wow this is actually very outstanding.

We used to fear that the language is a bit dying off, but thank God for the resurgence that kicked off about 6 years ago. The youths started becoming more proud of their language, making it hip, giving it life on social media etc.

Asụsụ Igbo ga-adịrị...

Good one. But how do you conquer Nkpuru nmiri and ESN back home.

Some people must have run to Google hoping to search out results for "the first person in my tribe to teach our language in Oxford University".

Hmmm.
