His imprisonment makes him a hero. Even in prison, Sunday IGBOHO is a rat to MNK.

There is a language extinction crisis brewing in Nigeria. But those who should notice it are too busy chasing ephemeral things.

There are three major languages in Nigeria. While the ethnic population of those who are born to parents who speak those three languages as a mother tongue is increasing, only two of those languages are growing in terms of number of speakers.

The third one is actually dying. Like Latin, in fifty years, the tribe with that language will still be one of the majority ethnic nationalities in Nigeria, but their language will become a minority language.

Sadly, many of the younger generation of that ethnic group can actually speak one of the other three major languages of Nigerian origin, but not their native language.

Even more tragically, the educated elite amongst them see English as a yardstick for intelligence and sophistication, which has trickled down to their grassroots and is creating a disturbing phenomenon where they prefer European names over their native names.

And they are essentially blind to what is happening to their culture. Many of their youth find it amusing that other people cannot speak English, which means they are illiterate. And surprisingly, for a people who have taken to Western education like a fish takes to water, not much is done by then internally to codify and expand their grammar, lexis and structure.

Some of us in the Nigerian project are unaware that culture can produce money, but money cannot generate culture. Commercialism is not culture.

As Marcus Garvey said:

"A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots."

I choose not to mention the name of this language, but UNESCO has recently and officially released a warning that the language faces a risk of extinction in twenty-five years.

Only one of the three major languages has been red-lighted by UNESCO. If you Google it, you will know the language being referred to. But no be from my mouth you go hear say emir die!

I want to help that language grow so we do not lose it. But I do not have the energy to receive insults and threats. So, let me just mind my business.

However, before I go, let me add that Yoruba elders deserve much praise in that they have been able to pass on their culture and language to the next generation to the extent that Yoruba is now one of the world's fastest-growing languages. It is being spoken actively in Brazil, Nigeria, Benin, Togo, and Sierra Leone and is an increasing feature in music, movies and television worldwide. Well done!

slimfit1:
Take this to Abuja where it can be affect the people holding him if you are very brave.

PANDA2:
This woman too fine sha

Peacemaker5128:
this is the one of the reasons why Tinubu will never release Nnamdi Kanu

LegendHero:
What IPOB is trying to do is to equal the number of massacre Ojuku of cursed memory brought on his people.

So IPOB action is to keel as much Ibo as possible. So don’t even think they are stopping soon.

If you love your life, never go to the SE for anything . That is part of the 1000 ways to die.

If you are looking for evidence that the average member of the Association of Professional Criminals or Association of Prostitute Clients (APC) has an IQ lower than that of a dung beetle, please gather here.

KingKO22:
IPOB only have power to kill their people.

They can't do nathing to rescue Cownu MNK

Nonny95:
Even IPOB defeated your origin. Imagine dumping your Ola-Ode name to Okoro

ican2020:
When will you grow up ode

YorubaDemonswag:
May Edumare continues to bless them

Holluwhakemmy:
Tinubu oko iya gbogbo won. May God help him to do the tasks ahead of him.

IGBOSON1:
'okoro' (and i'm sure this is another trolling alternate moniker of yours), you mean YOU and your ilk will kill more innocent Igbo and turn around to blame IPOB!

Was anyone really expecting the evil Fulani/Yoruba hegemonic alliance, that has a firm grip on the judiciary of Nigeria, to sit back and not interfere in the judicial process that was poised to free their worst nightmare?

Typing trash with your keyboard, if e easy they would have done it since..... one man with 9 life

Omodua:
You may be a target if solutions are not found. So ethicizing the the problem won't help you and others with ethnic bias.

The quickest way to end this country is by killing him. Let them try it.
