It's the same way Ijesha is easy for you and hard for me.

iamoyindamola:
Okun is easy almost like normal yoruba

larride:
I wanted to learn Igbo when I was in Ebonyi, I was told their dialect is different from the mainstream igbo. They said I should go learn mainstream Igbo (whatever that means). Even Igbos that we were posted to Ebonyi struggle to understand those Ebonyi dialect.

People have no idea how multi lingual Nigeria is.

larride:
Ijesha Yoruba hard.

While I was serving in Ebonyi, the LG I was is called Ohaozara LG. The town I was posted to was called Uburu (David Umahi home town), the town beside it is called Okposi. Uburu and Okposi in the same local govt speak different dialect of Igbo language.

popizaino:
Yes ooo plenty pass wetin i write down. The numbers of dialect in Akoko ondo alone no be here.

[color=royalblue]All they do here is bully everyone into thinking this nonsense makes sense.

An Anambra man will struggle to understand the native language of an Ngwa man, and both will struggle to understand an Izzi man, all in the same SE.

We are just setting up more barriers with all these.

Our indigenous cultures and languages must be upheld, but we need to settle for a universal one primarily. Na the truth be that[/color]

Lols, everyone can't be under your slave masters, the English people.

kkins25:
I agree with this.. For a country like Nigeria, having information in a unified language is better. Seperating them will create more divide.. Infact, the Whole of Africa should do same... Our division in the continent is too great.. and we're suffering it..

An American has access to virtually every corner of the world, but an African can't even do business with his neighboring country.

A001:
This post addresses your question already.

In an area with multiple languages, each tribe adopts its native language as the primary mode of communication and learning. In such areas, they'll use the popular languages there as the secondary modes of communication (other popular native language, English, etc.).

Even in such areas, what you find is that the people there already speak more than one language.

A001:
Read the post you quoted again. The answer is stated there clearly: Each ethnic group uses its native language as the primary mode of communication and English as the secondary mode of communication.

These are simple issues really, and this is the standard way of doing this in many non-English-speaking countries around the world.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]No sir, we cannot be practical.

We will rather use countries where they have 5 different languages as samples.

A001:
These are real, practicable ideas which many educators and students adopted and have been using in other non-English-speaking countries, not lofty ideas like those in your religious texts.

For Nigeria or even Africa, there's no need to develop or adopt any new language as a lingua fraca for the continent.

Africans just need to develop their native languages and create or adopt local words for concepts and principles in philosophy and STEM so the continent can move with the times and stay relevant.

If not, African languages and cultures will die in the near future. A culture that doesn't move with the times will lose relavance and die sooner or later.

Each ethnic group or tribe should develop their own native language and adopt it as the primary mode of communication. And everyone uses English as a secondary mode of communication.

Simple. English language should only be a primary mode of communication for the people of England unless you want to go back to the colonial era.

The French, the Chinese, the Germans, the Polish, and many other progressive societies around the world use their native language as the primary mode of communication and English as secondary.

That's the reality of things. No one is discussing lofty ideas here, but real, practicable ideas.

In Switzerland they have 3 cantons and the language of study in each Canton differs according to the ethnicity represented by the Canton, Canada has French and English speaking parts, so we can also replicate same here with conscious efforts and strategic planning.

Amoto94:
How so?

A001 this should interest you

larride:
The truth is that you are very very ignorant. Especially how translation from one language to another is.

I pity those that engage you.

raumdeuter:
They also came as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Israel, and hours after Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, in a telephone call with his Syrian counterpart Bashar al-Assad, called on Arab and Islamic countries to cooperate in confronting Israel.

Anywhere you are stay safe tomorrow

raumdeuter:
While its obvious that I don't like Obi

I will say Atiku has conducted himself as the real opposition and politician here

He lost an election he went to court, He wasn't rabble rousing all over the media, he kept quiet, looked for a weakness he can exploit
he put his resources into Chicago findings, After results came out, he picked the part that looked like a weak spot and Called a press conference and told others to follow him

He has effectively established himself as the opposition leader with an issue that can be chased legally not just going online to insult
Right now most of the Obidients are using Atikus findings, talking points and are looking like they are fighting Atikus war because Obi doesnt have much materials to make his claims

So all the gains of Obi is likely going to Atiku and this will upset Obi

What this shows is the difference between well organized political machineries and hurriedly assembled rookies

Which is why I always worry about Atiku candidacy and not so much about Obi

Olowunl01:
Lets not major in minor, equitable is fixing the country, eradicating poverty in the land. If it would take heads of bodies being those that have directline to the president to effect the change needed; it doesnt matter where these people are from; if Tinubu chooses to spend his mandate and employ into very critical areas his trusted allies; Nigerians that voted for his should trust his judgement and then judge him on the outcome.

Olowunl01:
Check again, He is folashade Tinubu-Ojo husband.

larride:
I'm hearing NFIU will be Kasimu Olanrewaju sef.

A40:
Northerners do more than this when in power. Have people forgotten already or what?

Olowunl01:
Chairman what do you people want sef? Buhari did his own - Let Tinubu do his own so far they perform should be the koko?

Tunji Ojo is inexperienced as per Naija parlance to be Minister of Interior; his strongest CV is being Tinubu son inlaw, however in his less than 3months stint he has shown potential to out perform Aregbe who came to same position with 8yrs commisioner experience + 8 Governor experience...

So let Tinubu appoint who ever he wants, if they mess up is on him, and I would blame him squarely unlike those who would rather excuse Buhari for the mess ups of his appointees.

DissTroy:
You think this is funny?

You do realize of all professions, asking that Peter Obi considers a career in proselytism is actually a completely because he's preaching peace?

Now ask yourself who would say the same about Tinubu given his utterances of hate, incitement, and being a magnet for the worst characters Nigeria has on parade?

Thanks for confirming one more reason millions of logical Nigerians got attracted to Obi in the first place.

larride:
Na why Northerners no dey complain right now.

Remember our discussion of this topic, I told you whoever get there will appoint his people into top position?

raumdeuter:
Shey Buhari never do am already?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]It is disturbing.

A Southern turn, but na only SW full am.

I really pity us when the North takes over.[/color]

Melvyn11:
You are basically saying if I own a company and I want to employ someone to run the operations it should be a Lebanese/Indian because they are effective in what they do. That's what am getting from your post. The blame is not on the company but our greedy leaders. Most of our own Nigerians are also board of directors of this so called Chinese/Lebanese companies. Our own people are involved.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]It happened last year, i think.
Addo road, Ajah

People move about with so much anger these days. I don't know if it is the country or that is their default mode.

Imagine if one of them had a gun.
