This's probably the best news I've heard on Nairaland this year. And the government should make sure it's not just about learning Yoruba as a language, but using Yoruba to actually acquire knowledge in schools. Replace English with Yoruba, and teach and learn in Yoruba. This would be a big leap towards true independence.

The benefit is huge!!. It will eventually return us to our selves- our culcures, our natural way of learning, give us back our identity as African. The benefits are endless.

The current brainwashing model of education we inherited from Britain makes English language a prerequisite for knowledge acquisition in our schools, therefore, it cuts off a large population of the African people from knowledge acquision.

No matter how intelligent a Yoruba boy, he cannot be educated under the current model of education. No matter how intelligent an Igbo girl, the current system of education cutts her off from knowledge acquisition.
e.t.c, .e.t.c. So, as you can see, we're the one stopping our people from being educated!. We're now the one enslaving ourselves!!.

This's is a very laudable policy and should be replicated all over Nigeria, all over Africa.

People are trying to be global compliant you are becoming isolar and clannish


OK one question

Can people tell me Yoruba word for software , atom, cell and even download

Tell me Yoruba words for these then I know that this project will be suitable for this ICT savvy world


Even Chinese with their technology are leaning global language

Yoruba language spoken by 30 million people
English language spoken by over 3 billion people

I think I rather learn English


One reason Igbo took over nollywood wasn't that they couldn't act in Igbo ..they learnt that they had to potrya their culture in a language million can understand which is English

Yoruba should up their games and becoming competitive instead of becoming isolar ..this is advice

They are not helping issues here


Thank day parents are teaching English, French and mandarins with local language ...it positions the kids to be global citizens

If you can tell me we have judaist Igbo I will agree because Igbo have Jewish leaning but Muslim Igbo I laugh

Where will they even practise their allaa akunba seff

What are you saying? So you want an Ibo Muslim's contact so as you can curse and abuse him? Throughout your posts here, you've been displaying desperation, you and your cohorts have been abusing Islam and Muslims for no just reason. Sha continue, your rants can't stop islam from growing and it'll get to every household and there's nothing you can do about it!

You can't even give a name ....even in my own whole village at nnewi I haven't seen any Igbo Muslim

Maybe these your Muslim are facing extinction or endangered

Troll!



Are you pained?, cuz i wonder what connection gullibility has to do with my post.


Demmzy15 these guys cant live with the truth that some igbos do convert to islam after the truth had been made manifest to them.

True they conversation in droves but I haven't seen any and I am talking from experience or are these Igbo Muslim hiding ?

Lol
Tete a tete bro


One thing you should know is that Islam is the worst thing that has happened to the world ...the average Igbo or Anambra man detest Muslim ..we have Igbo practising Judaism ,Christianity and traditional religion and we don't have problem with that ...but Islam isn't a way

In short I am waiting for the day we will see an Igbo Muslim ...I haven't seen and when they tel me that Igbo is converting to Muslim I just laugh I am in my mid 30s born raised in East and yet I haven't seen

Pls show me those Igbo Muslim ...let me gave thoer contact

Demmzy15:
You've really fumbled, I must say, are you telling me you know all the 2 million people of Anambra state? So you know all of them to the extent you can distinguish those who are Muslims? Gullibility at its peak! I'm opening a thread about Ibo Muslims, it wasn't written by me but an Ibo Christian PhD holder!

But if Igbo Re the Muslim you said in my village and that of my mum village I can't see not even the smallest mosque and I haven't seen any Igbo Muslim till now from Anambra ..pls show me any.

Maybe you know my village and state more than me


Suit yourself

There is this short igbo guy in my dept. He embraced islam right there in Unilorin...when i asked him what kuniya(nickname) does he bear, he said Abu Chukudi ....Masha Allah..he accepted in 100level, and he do attend a madrasa organized by MSSN at the mosque arena, and i can tell you today that he is so knowledgeable in islam, he has zeal to learn islam, lol....his trouser does not get to his ankle and he grows his beard trimming the moustache...he is from anambra...so this guys can keep hating and deceive themselves while people are getting to know islam as the truth.....forget the media and propaganda, no religion makes more sense than islam...why is it that people are so fixated on islam? The answer is simple, islam is light and truth, and most at times, people try to hide the truth, but by Allah, no one can off the light of Allah, Islam

Gullibility is bliss

I am Igbo and I noticed that MUSLIM are gullible and so have my brothers noticed


If you can give me contracts I can bear a Muslim name to satisfy your gullibility and stupidity ..that's not meant that my heart is Muslim ..it's business and that's what we know


So don't go hurray for Igbo Muslim because they are business men and Muslim mentality is a niche market..we must conquer that market


If you wan catch monkey act like monkey

Op why do you choose here to expose your ignorance. The largest islamic institution in Africa is established in the SE, many prominent igbos are collecting money to convert to islam, some towns in Imo State, Abia State and Eboyin State are predominantly muslims and ruled by islamic kings.

Whatever you smoked is really working wonders

Keep it up. Bipolar disorder is a bliss

Seriously, it happened to my neighbours son, i stopped typing so i can go confirm his name and get the details. I wil codedly ask him to recant the episode.

I will recommend that they cook you and know the kind of brains you have

Go to Ngwa at night, lets see if you make it out by day.

Lemme tell you a true life story.

My neighbour is from Abia state, Ngwa part.(dunno if its Isiala, Osisioma or Obingwa, never cared abt the details). My neighbour doesn't take his kids home for anything, he hardly goes home himself. His son regularly goes shopping in Aba, Once while in Aba, he decides to visit his dads village in Ngwa. He asked for directions in Aba and a bike man decided to take him down.

They got to the community and the bike man dropped him and sped off. He walked to the nearest compound to make inquiries. The people he met there welcomed him, and gave him seat. They asked where he came from and he explained, they told him to wait that someone wil come pick him up and escort him to his fathers compound.

Now, i have to say that this youngman is very Plumpy and "wellfed". While he sat waiting, little did he know that they had put water on a huge pot and set it on the fire to boil. He said he noticed the way the were talking in hushed tunes and looking at him. After waiting for more than 15mins he got up and walked towards them to ask why its taking so long for someone to taking so long for someone to take him down......

The story is too long to type..later.

Oya correct me na, Mr. I know it all.

To think that you don't know me, but claim I not Igbo because I don't think it agree with your views? .

Sorry o, but there are MANY Igbo people who don't agree with your views either. That does not make us non-Igbo or saboteurs like one was calling me the other day.

You just have to deal with it.

Well I believe people have right to their views mana don't call others stupid in they hold contrary

Thanks for your post.
I checked mine it is 32psi at the front and 30psi at the back. When I had a flat tyre yesterday I instruct the guy please inflate 30psi m I confirmed before leaving
.inaddition I was asking a vulcaniser last two months (before I went to infinity to change my tyre) to show me how to read tyre expire date he gladly told me
Ahhh Bros tyre no dey expire na. N i took my time to explain him with utmost seriousness he said are you saying the truth!

Nice one ....the front tyre should always be lesser

spookydee:
when am driving within Lagos I keep my tyre pressures at 45 cos of the incessant rough road and bumps but when going interstate, between 35 and 40 is what I do..

but u are right with the perfect tyre pressure which is 32

That's wrong .....the front tyre should be lesser depending on the body weight and engine size ...once your in motion the gas expands


It has nothing to do with bad road even a well pressured tyre will absorb shock easily than a very full one

Simple physics

DeRay98:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO ALL VEHICLE USERS!

Good morning everyone. Many people have been wondering what could be the cause of the incessant tyre burst accidents on Nigerian roads. The major cause is that we put to much pressure in our tyres. How did I know?

I was preparing for a journey, I changed some of my tyres and I asked the vulcanizer that ' what is the recommended tyre pressure? ' He said 50. I said alright, he should inflate it to 50 all round.

When I got to where I was going, I was discussing with some ppl on the issue of the minister that died on the road due to a burst tyre and wonder what could have happened because nobody could imagine a minister would be travelling with expired tyres as many would think is the major cause of tyre burst.

A man ( lived in US for many years ) said that the major cause of tyre burst in Nigeria is that we put to much pressure in our tyres and that each car has recommended tyre size and pressure clearly written on it by the manufacturer. I was surprised and begged him to come and show me where it's written on my car. To my greatest surprise, it's by the drivers door which I enter everyday without noticing it. By the time we checked, the recommended pressure for my tyres is 32! and I just traveled with tyres on a pressure of 50! He took me round his compound and showed me that of the cars (which includes a jeep and a sienna) there, the highest was 32. some were even 29!

He further explained that tyres are made of rubber and expands at high temperature. So, when yu are travelling in the afternoon when the asphalt on the road is hot, the tyre will want to expand. If the pressure in the tyre is to much and wouldn't accommodate the expansion, a burst is likely to happen at that time.

Pls check the recommended tyre pressure for your vehicle and others you know.

As many as possible Nigerians needs to read this.
thanks

Kindly share this message.
adopted

His correct .....I always make sure that the normal pressure is been pumped ..it's written by the side door of the car
But if you can't see it ..the secret is that always make sure that your front tyre isn't full so much because when the car is speeding the air becomes hot and it expands so the remain places will be filled by the hot air . but if you don't do this and pump the tyre full there will be not space for air expansion and the tyre can't handle the pressure it will burst

It's simple chemistry but it's unfortunate that people don't understand this basic principle ..and fauknizers ( hope spelt badly) isn't educated either not to talk of sciences

Bottom line people die because of knowledge

nze4al:
With over 1.5 million apps in the Play Store I bet you’ll never download all, but there are just six apps you could live with. So if you limited yourself to only six apps, which would you choose? Here are the only six apps that matter to my Android experience and I recommend too.


1. For communication: WhatsApp
WhatsApp is one of the most popular apps available on Android and for a good reason. This app is where we communicate. Communication is an essential function of the smartphone.

WhatsApp takes care of all of my communication needs and that’s why I chose it as my one of the only apps I need. I can make calls, send text messages, share photos or even documents. All of this on the platform that nearly all of my friends and family have.


2. For browsing the internet: Google Chrome for Android
With my Google Chrome browsers I can do most of the functions apps do. With a browser I can watch YouTube videos, check my email, post pictures to Facebook, search for anything, navigate and many more. Google Chrome does all these things well, which is why it is essential to my Android experience. Of course, I normally use apps for many of these functions but if I only have five apps I would use my browser for them.

So why did I choose Google Chrome instead of a different browser? Chrome is one of the easiest browsers to use and does all of your the essential functions without a stutter. It has a built-in flash player and PDF reader as well as data saving features.


3. For keeping your phone secure: AVG
Without security, all of these the essential functions I need my smartphone for go out the window. If my phone is hacked I lose everything and my phone is completely useless. And though other apps on this list have security features built-in – like encryption on WhatsApp and security on Chrome for Android – the system itself needs to be protected.

AVG is the most popular security app for a good reason. All of the functions for keeping your phone secure are free and easy-to-use. Scanning and securing your device is quick and your smartphone is kept safe at all times. It just takes an update every once in a while.


4. For typing: SwiftKey Keyboard
Google’s stock Android keyboard has gotten much better over the years, but I don’t feel at home in a device until I have SwiftKey in place. Why? Simple: SwiftKey has the best layout, design, and functionality for my needs. Its next-word prediction knows me almost too well, and its swipe-to-type capability works wonderfully when I want it.


5. News and updates: FeedlyReader
I read a ton of tech news and rely on Feedly to keep up with the many sites I follow. But while Feedly’s Web interface is suitable enough, the company’s own Android app has always left me wanting more.

A third-party app called FeedlyReader fills that void with style and grace. With a clean and attractive Material Design vibe and an impressive array of features like configurable left and right-swipe actions within the story list and tons of opportunities for customization. FeedlyReader has almost everything I’ve ever wanted in an mobile RSS client.


6. For file management: ES File Explorer
ES File Explorer File Manager provides Android users with a fully-featured file manager that gives them complete control over their device’s file system. The File Manager can manage onboard storage and external storage such as microSD cards or USB flash drives.

The software can also be linked to users’ cloud storage accounts, with support for most major services including Dropbox, Box.net, Sugarsync, Google Drive, OneDrive, and more, seamlessly integrating cloud file management with local file management.

If you could only have six apps, which ones would they be? Tell us in the comments.

For your information, the south has been in control of this country for the last 14 out of 16 failed years of our democracy.

Jack booted soldiers messing up governance is understandable, but southern civilian Presidents including a PHD holder have governed this country under a democracy since 1999 and we are STILL in this mess of no light, no good roads, no working refineries etc...yet you blame the North?

Your brain must be upside down.

Why are you guys like this

North has messed this country up
No wonder north is extremely backward
Can you imagine people becoming nomaduct in this 21st century

From independence how many Northern rulers did we have

And it's a pity you don't know the meaning of what I wrote, so let me translate for you.
it's my mother's favourite insult

Onye ara =Mad person

Nyighe efe= Wearing cloth

So I'm essence the translation is a mad person wearing clothes

So you don't know what Onye ara means
And you don't know what efe means?

And you say you are Igbo, lol!!!!!!!

Just say you did not understand.

This guy is very daft....is south south a tribe ..tell me the tribe in south south that don't want Igbo

It's unfortunate that Your peeps are detested and treated like a pariah and you can deny that even the ijebus don't wanna have anything to do with you . Benin are clear on this

If SS and SE are in alliance what's your problem with them

But every Igbo man has an Igbo name ..why go to igboist page when you are not Igbo?

You should at least know that
