I am not your coeval

omonnakoda:
Honestly I have ONE vocabulary. I assume the spelling is a typo but it should be vocabulary and not vocabularies anyway.
I am also a master of the Yoruba language as well.
I consider myself educated not because of what I know but because of my thinking power there is a huge difference.........
I do not need to know anything more than which questions to ask

Your first paragraph assertion is so wrong. That the child would not do well in school because all subjects are taught using the English does not apply to every country on the face of the earth. Let me also add that the OP's question is not limited or restricted to Nigeria but to every country there is. Hence, there's a need for us to critically exam how these countries have fared with or without the English Language.

China remains the world's foremost production house of the world, yet most Chinese don't even understand the English language. Interestingly, Mandarin (Chinese langiage) is the world's most spoken and most popular language.

That English is our lingua franca does not mean it is the true test for intelligence or brilliance. We were colonized by the Brits, hence, the heavy influence of their language on us. Furthermore, here is a country with over 250 ethnic group, the 'cheapest' unifying language considered was the English language. Quite unfortunately, we cannot bulge since it is the language of instruction.

Linguists would tell you that the mother tongue (L1) is innate in a child, and the urge to learn another (L2) is highly available. When this happens, we say such a person is BILINGUAL; possess the ability to effectively read and write in more than a language, and last I checked, bilingualism was never a test for intelligence as there are varying factors which could impede some persons.

My argument
Most Chinese are not bilingual. They are deeply rooted into their culture and traditions that they do not feel there's a need to learn some other languages of the world. If you meet a well placed Chinese man, you'd discover that he readily has an interpreter at his disposal, yet, as a people, they hold the world by the balls, technology and production wise.

I can effortlessly speak the Urhobo language (L1), the Yoruba Language (L2), the English language (L2) and a fraction of Spanish (L2) and that might not necessarily make me excel within the academic sphere so long I don't develop INTEREST in my academic quest.

About 6 years back, I had some course mates (females) who would speak English like they were born outside Nigeria but would readily disturb you to explain tons of things to them before exams and you'd get to ask if the English language is not sufficient enough to save them.

All in all, academic excellence is not dependent on the English language and vice versa. As a matter of fact, students all over would excel greatly if taught with their mother tongues (L1).

Thanks

But Lithuania, Belarus, and Sri Lanka among other countries speak their languages, yet they are not developed AT ALL.

How do you explain that?

What makes a country developed really is how serious the people are not necessarily the language, because there are MANY countries in this world who speak their "own" languages yet they are not developed.

Kasich:
Which role did you specifically apply for, because the least years of experience of all the jobs is 3 years... Seems they don't have entry level jobs

orlahtohbadt:
I am experiencing the same, my date of birth is 26th Aug and it keeps shifting back to 25th Aug... Even my mother's occupation keeps showing "Mother" instead of teaching that i rightly put there... I know it is a problem from their part but those things can disqualify someone even before trying
