Why do Eboe governors sponsor Ebo language to be taught in schools and not Hausa?

Golan007:

Point of correction, nobody learns Igbo language in Igboland, it is the mother tongue, I can remember in secondary and primary school it is always enforced hat Igbo speaking is not allowed to encourage us to speak English, what I see here is the kids learning a second irrelevant language, we only study Igbo a bit to pass unity exam, most of us sef don’t study it, mother tongue is that powerful

Which Igbo governor apart from Okowa is sponsoring Igbo language in school lol, Okowa’ case is understood, once you are in Igbo mainland, no one will tell you to speak Igbo

In England, English language is taught so what is your point?

Golan007:

It is not sponsored, it is one of the three indigenous language written in Unity exam, other minority languages are also written but I think Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba is more prominent, no one sponsors that Igbo language be thought in school, Igboland is one of the very place in Nigeria where Igbo is the very language of commerce, most other areas speak pigin. No one is promoting Igbo language in the manner you think.

The point you are making is baseless


Ebo is taught in Ebo land.

Ijaw is taught in Ijaw land.

In England, English language is thought but not exactly to native speakers, you seem to forget that United Kingdom has Scotland, Ireland, Wales etc. and English is one of the most widely spoken language in the world, so there you understand why English is thought over there. Most native English speakers hardly attend those classes unless they want to pursue a career

My brother Igbo language is taught in the whole of igboland right to SS3 class.

Even some schools has made it mandatory that every examiner will sit for Igbo language and it has been ongoing for years...

The era of speaking English and subjugating mother tongue has come and gone in igboland. Even teachers now encourage their ward to speak Igbo.

What ijaw people are doing is highly commendable

Igbo is mother tongue in Igboland, it isn’t thought in the kind of way you are projecting, we learn it from our parents at home, government schools are not Igbo schools, primary school for instance has a lot of influence from the Fed, if they think Igbo is worth teaching in the schools, fine but no one go to a dedicated class to learn About Igbo language in AlaIgbo, if you think because it is thought in schools, where does those who didn’t go to school learn ?

Lol, this is the joke here, the fact that is part of the curriculum doesn’t mean that it is thought in the light you assume, still what they teach in school is central Igbo or Izugbe, now I hope you get why that is, pure mother tongue or dialects are not thought in any school. Igbo language especially Izugbe is a very broad family of related languages.

Mother tongue is not thought in any school, non that I know of,

The Igbo izugbe or central Igbo importance in igboland cannot be overemphasized. It's the chief power of communication in igboland.

An average Igbo man living in the east speaks Igbo not pidgin like other Nigerians.

The Igbo bible is written in Centra Igbo or Igbo izugbe that's why it's taught in schools.

The autonomous community in igboland clan will go ahead and speak their dialect or native language

They speak Igbo as first language continue deceiving gullible ones but not me

Nobody is downplaying the importance of Izugbe however since it has words from every dialect infused and the parent dialect is not learnt in school, it is as good as saying Izugbe is not learn in school, I’m Igbo and I speak both the Ezikoba dialect and Izugbe. Izugbe is not learnt in school, ask any Igbo who went through primary and secondary schools they don’t teach How to speak Igbo whether Izugbe or Olumba in school.

They can teach how to read and write abidi Igbo (Igbo alphabet) with udaume, udaenfe, olilo uduame, awota aza etc. these things are just technicalities that a native speaker or even anyone at all speaking Igbo needn’t take note of, Igbo language is mother tongue, language of commerce and street, if you stay in Igbo land and hope to learn Igbo from school lol.

This one na Finima people..
The main Bonny people are okay with their Igbo language..

Even the King, Imperial Majesty, the Amainabo of the Grand Bonny Kingdom, King Perekule the III cannot speak Ibani but can proudly speak Igbo..

It's time Finima have their own Kingdom let's have some peace here..
