A001: Rubbish. All this English dialects will still have every words spelt the same way across all regions of the UK even though their pronunciation differs,unlike the yoruba dialects that will change completely from one place to another. Come will be spelt as come whether in Cardiff, Swansea, Liverpool, Birmingham, Newcastle, Southampton, Northampton, Portsmouth, Edinburgh, Dundee,Dublin same as every other English word. Now compare it with central yoruba and ondo Yoruba were words not only changes in spelling but in meaning and pronunciation. Central yoruba : ni gbogbo aye Ondo yoruba : ni de de Central yoruba : Omo wa gbayi Ondo yoruba : Amanuyi Stop trying to draw a false equivalence here. Concentrate on translating your works in various yoruba dialects first before anything else. 9 Likes 1 Share |

larride: Well, I-DICE-like. Bosun renamed it like I mentioned he has and refused to make mention of I-DICE. Plus what he announced yesterday is a tiny section of what I-DICE was supposed to do. Asides technical talent incubation, I-DICE has provisions to directly fund founders, bridging the VC shortfall. What he announced yesterday is funding 45 AI researchers and startups - a far cry from the initial plan. ----- But I verified 3 things after the announcements yesterday: 1. It zooms in on technical talents; 2. It makes provision for upskilling existing talents with specialties, and; 3. It uses a Nigerian KYC company for the onboarding process so all the data remains with our government. Bosun is beginning to take the reins but he still needs to FULLY implement I-DICE.

A slave of the Arabs dey wail in my mentions. I no get time for mumu people. I'll simply ignore the mentions. I'm sure the idiot doesn't even know his Qur'an has different versions just like Arabic language has different dialects as well. It's not only Yoruba that has various dialects. Some people really mumu. Many versions of his Qur'an sef had been destroyed in the past, yet even today, the versions of Qur'an used by Muslims in Africa than those in Saudi and in other parts of the world. If this mumu see some versions of Qur'an (some Arabic dialects), e no go fit read am. The Arabic dialect Muhammad got the revelations for the Quran in is not even in existence again. People wey no know their left from right. If you know the history of compilation of their Qur'an sef written by the Muslims themselves, you go laff tire and wonder how can millions base their whole existence on a book with so many versions that weren't even compiled in the form of a book by Muhammad, its author himself when alive, but was compiled years after his death. Obviously, the accuracy of such a book is questionable, and that's why so many versions of the Qur'an had been destroyed in the past, and a few versions are even still available now. The version of Qur'an used by Sunni Muslims is not exactly the same as those used by Ahmadiyya and some other sects. He mentioned different sentences in various dialects, but we know they're saying the same thing in slightly different ways. And just like there's a popular dialect of Arabic language used by many Muslims in Africa and those in other parts of the world, there's also a general dialect of Yoruba that many Yoruba people understand in all Yoruba-speaking states. Mumu. I no just get time. I for do a detailed post on the history of compilation of Qur'an with proofs from Sunnah and books written by the Muslims themselves. Time no dey 1 Like 1 Share |

A001:But, this is already the norm today. Staying in Cosmopolitan areas makes people think English is the sole language spoken in Nigeria. Hausa and fulani, use English as secondary language. Same with Yorubas, and igbos. I'd rather have a language foreign to all of us as the primary language, than have to speak Hausa or Igbo has the unified means of communication. We have a senates and House of reps with many dialects. English is better abeg. Nothing will change if we learn Physics in English or Hausa. It was written by English men anyway. If Chinese people are teaching their people English, how much more we. The vast majority of knowledge is in English. adopting other languages will only back-peddle us... Infact, our English is unique and different from that of our colonizers, so, it's not really the language of our colonizers any more. "you are mad" to the colonizer means you have mental case. To me, it could mean three things; you're either mental, funny, or troublesome. 1 Like |

swiz123: Language is more than a means of communication - it's a means of social identification too.
Wrong too. There have been back-and-forths even on this thread in Yoruba and Igbo. I can even quote such exchanges. Oasis seems to initiate some of the Yoruba ones I have noticed here and it catches on.

kkins25:You're contradicting yourself and aren't being factual. Apart from Hausa people mostly, most of other Nigerian people use English as their primary language and their native language as the second or third language after Arabic for Muslims. Most of the Nigerian Muslims sef don even relegate their native language to their third language, after English/Arabic. That's the reality of things. It's not debatable. kkins25:Lols, Physics wasn't developed by the English people. The English people developed the field in their own language by translating books of philosophy written by Romans and Greeks in those languages. This effort enabled Newton and other English people to make key contributions in that field afterwards. However, science is native to the cultures of Africa. Obviously, you don't understand the subject being discussed here. You said nothing will change by learning science in the native languages. Why then do UNESCO and many other expert educators recommend learning STEM in one's mother tongue? Why do billions around the world learn science in their mother tongue? If you're an educator, you'd understand what I'm saying here. People are not really doing science in Nigeria. Na just la cram la pour. You can't be doing science, and yet a simple problem of lack of stable power supply you still neva solve am. How many technologies and inventions have the Physics and Engineering departments in most Nigerian universities made? Lols, they merely regurgitate what others have done in other parts of the world. The current model of teaching STEM is poor and ineffective. STEM should be taught in the local languages primarily and English secondarily. Even na la cram la pour most first and second-class students in Nigerian universities dey do. Ask them to explain most of what they've learned a couple of weeks after sitting an exam, dem no go fit. The English spoken in Nigeria is still English. It's called a dialect of English for a reason, not a dialect of Yoruba or other local languages. I've said enough on this matter. Regardless of your opinion, those of us developing STEM in the native languages will still continue. If you're a science educator, I may even take you a bit more seriously on this issue. But obviously, you're not judging from your posts on this issue. 1 Like |

A001:Except in an educational setting, or one where there are many people with multiple languages, their native language is the primary language. Even in Universities, people teach in English, but communicate in their native dialect or pidgin(Which isn't English per say). You'd not find the common man in Sokoto, Adamawa, Kaduna, Kano, Jos, Ilorin, Ekiti, etc. speaking English......No sir. Language is ever evolving, English of today isn't the same as yesterday. IN 500 years, all languages will change again. Just like they have done in the past. The indigenous people of Europe before the invasion by anglo saxon, vikings, and what have you have all been colonized by before. It's hasn't stopped them from progressing. What you're saying doesn't make sense because 1) English is already our means of formal communication. If not for thieves, the country is doing just fine. 2) If laws of Physics are written in English, then, we must first understand it in English before we can transcribe it to Yoruba, etc. As you know, Yoruba hasn't developed in the same pace as Chinese, German, and so on. 3) India just launched landed on the Moon. What is their primary mode of formal communication? 4) I've already given you a practical example of what happens when one tribe dominates the others. It's no different from speaking English. You fail to see this point. The Twi people hold all the power in Ghana. Turn on your television, and you'd find that the language spoken is Twi. This means the other tribes now have to push their native tongues to secondary, just like we've done with English. I'm not a genius, but I know language barrier create tension. The unification of the Muslim world with Arabic, is what makes Islam a very powerful movement. Not all countries were Arabic, but that hasn't stopped Arabic countries like turkey from becoming world power has it? We have already launched with English as our primary source of information. It's a rocket launch, and there are no about-turns. Is there any country that used English as its primary language, and then reverted back to their native tongue as primary language? If so, what are the dynamics of that society? Are they multi-lingual or uni-lingual? How many ethnic groups are there? 1 Like |

kkins25:I don't have the luxury of time to address your points one by one. So if you want Africans to adopt English as the unified language, they've officially become an English colony again like many African countries were in the past. If Africa adopts English as the unified language, then Christianity will also be adopted as the unified religion. Anyway, that will never happen. Obviously, you don't understand the huge influence of language on a people. I don't have much to discuss with you on this matter because of time constraints. Regardless of your opinion, those of us developing STEM in the local languages will continue as I said before. You've not shown me what's wrong in an African (whether belonging to a minority or majority ethnic group) using their native language as the primary mode of communication and English language (or any others) as the secondary mode of communication. This is what billions do all over the world and are prospering. I don't know what gave you the impression that English language is the ultimate. English isn't even the best language in the world. Objectively, there's no best language in the world because no human language is or can be universal. 2 Likes |
