Why are you using the white man's internet? Why Using his lettering system? Why using paper currency invented by the white man? Why did you go to university, a educational system invented by the white man? Why are you using a phone?

Pls just park for corner.
internet was invented by a mix of black, Asian and middle eastern researchers and then a few whites. they love to claim credit for everything.

You only remember your culture when you want to hate other groups
or it help you oppress your opponents.
The myopic OP only mentioned 3 "native" languages for official. use when we have more than 250 of them.


So if something is not British, it is okay to accept it?
Why not start using Chinese as official language since it is not British.


Kindly look at the mirror.
What are you trying to say?
Did you see me approve the OP's message?
Or what exactly is wrong with you?
@british
The person I replied to was talking about English which is British

Check the first 3 posts you'll see my reply to the OP

Just mind your business
Or better still keep your emotions aside when quoting me
Emotional fools everywhere

Nigeria's Official Language should be all native languages first before English. Nigerians pls reject colonization now.....
Mumu ethicist, an official language is is one that is generally accepted by the people, why did you not type this your useless bigoted opinion in your native dialect?

Tribalism wont allow us.....we are not ripe for that...........................like someone said, will Other tribes accept HAUSA which is arguably the most spoken language in AFRICA as their official language ?

Or will othe tribes accept IGBO or YORUBA as official language ??

Ulunne777:
nonsense and Hausa.Is that why you ppl are rehearsing it with the Army? Why not igbo or Yoruba?Which of them is devoid of history and culture .
The army has Hausa origins... Which you can see in all the things concerning it. Furthermore, the July coup entrenched it totally, as all Igbo officers within it were either murdered or forced to leave... Making the other non Hausa officers subsume their identities under the Hausa one.
Instead of focusing on the army, focus on the deamalgamation of Nigeria. This would take care of all the nonsense that came with it

Look at this idiot. Who mentioned British? Are Brits the only whites?

Go and tell your village people to release your sense before quoting me next time, mumu.

So because we adopted all this
We should delete our culture?

Pretty much.

This country would’ve been so good, and there would have been better unity if we all understand and can speak the beautiful Hausa language. Much love to our brothers up north.
