Re: Swahili As Nigeria's Official Language by WoeBetide666: 9:33am On Jan 06 |
illicit: Good point; that makes sense. But, some might argue that Hausa is not neutral enough. I see your point that Swahili is not our language sha |
Re: Swahili As Nigeria's Official Language by illicit(m): 9:38am On Jan 06 |
WoeBetide666: Yeah sure I don't understand what you mean by neutral tho That's not how languges operate, what matters is usability Hausa is the most widely spoken language in Nigeria already, even in West Africa Ok I see what u mean, in Nigeria we have many tribalists and they tribalism first in everything, but language is a phenomenon Unofficially, Hausa is a lingua Franca in Nigeria already |

Apart from English it's impossible to have any other official language. Only thing that comes close is Yoruba because of the music/migration to their land attached to it or Igbo because of their nationwide spread: Hausa to the do themselves themselves Fulani is terrorist language |

IjawUnited: I don’t like Yoruba. It is too kpakoish. My butter mouth won’t be able to handle it. Igbo is out of the question, even worse. |

BloomingDale: lol so you'll prefer which one? |
Re: Swahili As Nigeria's Official Language by WoeBetide666: 1:15pm On Jan 06 |
IjawUnited: That's a very bold claim. English has been an official language for less than 100 years; anything is possible |

Felix6:How?! |
Re: Swahili As Nigeria's Official Language by aswani(m): 1:22pm On Jan 06 |
WoeBetide666: Against because we already have pidgin English which has a decent enough language structure and is understood by a good chunk of the population. |
