Yes, it's very important to learn english as a second language as does most nations in the world.

It's true that english is a global language and personally I hope it stays that way (it's easy to learn, etc). But it must be noted that NO country in Europe beside British use english as main language of instructions. ALL THE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, yes all of them, use their own language as medium of instructions and everyday life, same as Asian countries such as Japan, China, South Korea, etc. We're talking about well developed countries such as Finland, Sweden, Scandinavian countries in general, France, Germany, Italy, Czechoslovakia, Russia, Israel, etc.

So yes, English is a great global language, but it is used and learned as a second language (bilingualism, multilingualism) in most of Europe and elsewhere.

I have thought about Russia and Japan using another language apart from English and still they are developing but then I realised somethings -

*almost all the African countries are created by the colonial masters. What is the relationship between Hausa-fulani and Igbo for example? Irrespective of our tribal differences, they forced us into one. Countries like Japan are bilingual or monolingual but a small society in Africa is multilingual. How then do we select a language out of the array of languages as a language of instruction?

The linguistic situation of Africa is like a mace, there is mutual suspicion as to linguistic domination and marginalisation. This takes us back to where we started. Our political leaders are benefiting from our backwardness. They travel to Europe and America see development but come back home and play to our fantasy. #let us believe in God, we shall be there one day# The question is, do they mean it?

If the problem of Africa can only be solved when we adopt an indigenous language as a medium of instruction, the problem will never be solved.

If language is the bane of development in colonized nations, what of Ethiopia that was never colonized and was one of the emancipated ancient nations?

With the language of the colonial masters, Africa can be what she ought to be if the leaders are disciplined. Don't forget that English language has become a global language.

See hin face, oniro. Abuju woooko woooko. Celebrated thief. Ole buruku, God pass you oh

you have gotten me wrong, I only mean at the end of the day, opposite sexes will work better together

Ok

This same Nigeria? I doubt it ooh. Nigeria where the real indigenes are marginalized.

After world war III may be.

That your church must be infected with wrongrammaticalogy. It made me smile. Thank you

at the end of the day, males will still be attracted to females and females to males

Are you insinuating that I want to bleep married women? You must be joking. I just gave my testimony, that doesn't undermine the fact that there are wicked female fault finder bosses

I know this a long time ago but never been lucky with them. Women are complicated than matrix joor

Don't marry for beauty, it will fade
Don't marry for love it will fade
Don't marry for money it may go

Marry the one you understand, because when love and beauty fade and money go. Understanding will make you know more.

Comfortable jobless ladies? They are not in the market again oh. Move close to some ladies and see their visions, so cute. All they need is your support.

Nigerians aren't lazy.

When did he write the ministry? If he did it just of recent, it's the confession of a dying man, it is valueless. If he has done that for a while.... I wish Mr open teeth the best.

By the way, these politicians should stop playing to our fantasies joor. Buhari can't afford 27m from his investments and part of Petroleum Trust Fund he embezzled? Oniro osi

pashaun:
Why don't you guys try to "impeach" them? Or rally?

rally? Who wan die?

What is her pet monkey doing? She should give the monkey joor.

Next!

There should be heaven oh because if not... people like this lady will just suffer for nothing

I thank you, I appreciate your pride in the lost glory of Africa but how can we escape from the claws of bad leaders and take our place in the world?

Literacy started from Egypt Africa
Mathematics from Ethiopia, Egypt, Swaziland.... These are good stories in their time, not now. Our leaders are killing our tomorrow.

I'm proud of Africa but tired of mediocrity.

Lovely.

quite unfortunate that I know little. Still happy that I can give something.

Teaching people the little I know. I often feel happy while teaching that I won't want to leave the class.

I have worked with three female principals in private schools, I must admit that they are all wonderful people. In fact, non of them ever raised voice on me. Though, some of the teachers were treated with disdain but I never was.

I sometime went for an interview and faced all male committee, you need to see how those old jerks were talking to me. A married lady that we went there together was given preferential treatment, because she removed her wedding ring. They thought she was still single.

I like female boss die

surprised!! check my profile....

I duff my hat, you are.... I don't know what to say

Mprex:
there are a lot of possibilities:
-maybe she saw it coming, considering the fact that she knows you have been staring @ her for a long time and she just wanna play the hard to get game

-maybe the lady you got her number from is a jerk that told her something negative

-maybe she is been very cautious considering the fact that you guys attend the same church.

But what ever the case, its not too late to make ammends. Talk to her when next you see her in church with a free mindset. Tell her you were just calling to apologize for getting her number from someone else instead of her.
Tell her you just wanna be friends. Start from there. Let things escalate @ a steady pace. There is no rush. Another important thing is this, dont avoid her in church.. This might give her a wrong notion about you.


Goodluck.
sorry for the looooonnnng epistle
-

Thank you, so much

[quote author=Mprex post=27448652][/quote]Mprex I enjoyed your encouragement but there is something I still don't understand in her reaction. I couldn't pin down yesterday because of her unit in the church. She left when I was still attending to somethings.

I eventually got her number from a lady who may tell her I did. When I called her she picked but didn't talk. I was just talking like radio, this made me presume the network was bad. I decided to text her, which I did. Since, she got the text, she stopped picking my calls completely. Seriously, I need your opinion, I don't want to come of as a desperate jack

jovalkom:
how dem dey do dat one abeg yarn me

Ah ah! You think I de joke?
Buy recharge card of different networks and start selling

Or
take a jerry can to a nearby filling station, give the attendant like 100 naira egunje and buy. Take it home and start selling a litre 150 naira as against 97 naira you bought it.

You better ment the crack on your wall before it is too late. The uniqueness of P-square is what we know and familiar with not Peter's

Begonia:
Why would you think we'd insult you? There's nothing wrong with your post. In fact, this is an insult to all sensible nairalanders.. lol
@topic; you don't love her. It's not possible to love a girl you know nothing about. Too many Nigerian guys have abused the word 'love' way too much. I really don't get why chatting her up is a big deal. You don't have to tell her 'you've been staring at her for three years'. That could even creep her out if she never noticed you. If she's single and you're ready to date again, go for it. Dealing with regrets can be nasty..

As for the insult, I have read a good deal of innocent questions by seemingly helpless people on Nairaland and truckload of insults as comments. This made me feel reluctant to ask question in this forum.

As for knowing her, I know virtually everything about her, not directly from her though. Ordinarily, I am shy, timid and dread rejection, these coupled with my devotion to .... kept me at bay.

I do love her, if you will believe me. She has caught me staring at her time without number. In fact, she has vented her annoyance on me one day. She happened to be one of the ladies that serve food at a dinner, she brought two plates to a table for three, serve two other people on the table and left there. She never came back to that table that night, I had to call another lady to serve me.

This made my intention looked like an after thought. I love her, I seriously do. Believe me if I say I do. I feel sick I waited this long
