I saw an IJAW Girl Recently, who came from her VILLAGE to Warri in 2020,
Got Pregnant for an Urhobo Boy whose Mother is IJAW.

She Gave Birth to a Girl and Fast-forward to 2023, I discover that that She and her IJAW Mother-in-law was speaking English to her Daughter! 😯😒😕

I Painfully Asked Her 'You when be Thick IJAW Girl dey Speak English to your daughter?'.
She now Replied 'I want my Daughter to Sabi Speak Correct English o.
For their School, Any Wrong English, Dem go FLOG you'.

I was WEAK Instantly!

See how PRIVATE Schools are Unknowingly DESTROYING and OBLITERATING our Local Languages in Nigeria!😒


By 2040,2050, ALL NIGERIAN LANGUAGES will go EXTINCT, plus the ever Popular Yoruba Language.

Now, Every Nigerian PARENTS is Teaching their Children 'Correct English'
Because they wants to IMPRESS the Schools their Children Attend.🙁

PRIVATE Schools too, Put Pressure on Children to speak 'Correct English' and even Phonetics to IMPRESS PARENTS!

TWO GROUPS Trying to Impress Eachother, to the Detriment of our LOCAL LANGUAGES.


So I ask, IS THIS TREND GOOD THING?

IS THERE ANY BENEFITS IN BECOMING EXPERT ENGLISH SPEAKERS,
WHILE ABANDONING OUR NATIVE LANGUAGES? 🤔🤨

I disagree. It is what you comsume that affects you. Those tribes in Amazon, are they speaking English?Are they not surviving? Do they interact with the world? It is when you are ashamed of yourself you begin to look outside. Do you think Chinese don't study English? They use their language first but learn English to work with outside world. Nigerians think everything revolves round English. What about French, Spanish. How do people work with them? Was it Hausa that they spoke before they came to steal our gold in zamfara?

You dey mind them. Yet the Indians are top in science and technology all around the world

The issue is. Some of these parents are actually suffering from an intense inferiority complex. Maybe because some of them were not brought up with the best Education or something. They were made to see their language and culture as the worst.

Because I can't just fathom it. I don't live abroad. It is even understable for children born abroad. But you were born here, and your children will not be able to speak my language? Which kind of foolishness is that?

Was talking to one 9 year old on Monday and he couldn't even understand a thing except 'scattered' Yoruba. I actually thought he was Igbo until I asked of his name and was surprised when told me his name. Asked him why he couldn't speak Yoruba. He said his parents used to tell them not to speak Yoruba

I was amazed and perplexed. Very useless parents

Some of them will even be happy about it.

They will say he will learn it later. .

I don't know why you can't learn English in school and learn your language at home with your parents etc.

Bro, it’s really pathetic…. I don’t know what’s wrong with dis generation, they barely speak their native languages. Every tribe in Nigeria wants to be speaking English, even the English dem no sabi speak am well.
I be confirm Edo guy, when I was growing up as a kid, we use to speak our language (Esan) everywhere… at school, at home, market e.t.c but that’s doesn’t mean we no sabi English.

But if you go to village now, Majority of the children and youth can’t even speak their language. It’s so sad.
They are all forming mumu English.

That’s why God would continue to bless countries like Russia 🇷🇺, Spain 🇪🇸, Croatia 🇭🇷, Finland 🇫🇮, China 🇨🇳, Japan 🇯🇵 and Sweden 🇸🇪. They fvcking don’t care about English. They speak their mothers tongue to the fullest, dem no send ur papa. God punish English.

Blackman languages will continue to be irrelevant until Blackman starts impacting the world positively. So far, blackman has little or nothing to offer the world.
So you can't depend on Oyibo technology etc & leave out their language.

If you understood what I submitted, you wouldn’t have felt the need to disagree.

Firstly, i strongly believe that you would rather live in Nigeria rather than in the Amazon jungle. However, citing the Amazon actually confirms what I submitted initially. The survival of those people in ties to their local dialects. Majority of them are not looking to work outside of their clans and jungle. They produce their food locally so everything locally. Even they can tell apart from themselves who a ‘city boy’ is and who isn’t. But that is just the amazon. In the larger Brazil, to become anything tangible, you have to learn Portuguese otherwise you’d be restricted to menial jobs and favelas.

For China you can say the same with additional factors. Firstly, China is a self sufficient country, even we in far away Nigeria import from them. Their sufficiency is local enough to ensure that a person who doesn’t speak a foreign language can survive. The additional factor is that they are a homogenous people (mostly). If you travel throughout most of China, you only need to be able to speak Mandarin and most people you’d meet speak the same.

If you travel through Nigeria, you May need to learn a new language after every two villages.
Survival in the cities require that you understand a ‘universal’ language (English). Otherwise you’d be restricted to menial jobs.

Now imagine having an invention perhaps coded tech that’s useful for humanity let’s say something in the health sector capable of creating millions of jobs and it was coded in the Yoruba language, such that only people with sufficient knowledge in Yoruba can work in that sector can get around it and tap into its benefits either as users or as employees. There’d be a lot of people eager to learn and speak the local dialect because that’s what puts food on the table.

This is how we can save our languages. Tie it to our survival. People protect whatever puts food on their tables.

Many languages in the Amazon have been lost to this fact. Once food and land was taken away from many tribes and they were forced to work in places where if they don’t speak Portuguese they don’t feed themselves and their families, they started to lose their languages.

No serious job seeker will write an application letter in Yoruba except if it’s to be a Yoruba teacher. Which in turn means the language is essential to the person’s survival.

I hope that with this few points of mine, I have been able to convince you and not to confuse you that you didn’t need to disagree with my initial submission. Thank you.

Acidosis:
The diverse nature of Nigerian languages is the major reason many languages will become extinct. The languages are way too many and largely unreasonable.

Many of the people claiming Yoruba language now actually have their local diatects. They've abandoned it for Yoruba. The Yoruba of Ilesha is not the same as the Yoruba of Ijebu, Ekiti, Ondo, Lagos, Yagba in Kogi.

In Kogi state alone, there are over 10 different brands of Yoruba language. How can a generation keep up with that diversity? Almost every town has a local dialect. You may understand what they're saying,but you'll never be able to speak even if you know the generic Yoruba.

Everyone is now claiming Yoruba at the expense of their local mother tongue. Yet, these same people who are completely clueless as regards their native languages turn around to blame English speakers.

An Ilesha man who go about speaking the generic Yoruba language has equally failed his generation. Yoruba is not your first language.

When you combine most of these local dialects, you would realise that Nigeria has over 17,000 languages. Only a useless generation will keep up with this level of diversity. There are better things to do, .e.g. innovations, military sophistications, etc. than learning or interpreting 17,000 languages. No be like this UK, US, and Canada take develop.

The diversity of Nigerian languages emerged from a place of illiteracy, beef, hatred, and disunity. We need a common ground at the end of the day.
