Letter 'b' shouldn't have been included because it is silent.

The issue here is that English is a language that is derived from many other European languages including French, Latin and Greek.
In colonial times, The British that came to Nigeria used to teach Latin in Missionary schools.
You understand Latin, you under English better and you have no problems like this.
But with time, Nigerians have dissociated themselves from European culture and just isolated English alone.
And hence everybody is now confused.
You took language and discarded its roots. Hence all the headaches and disbeliefs.

But you are speaking it right now.
And it is what you use to reach out to other Nigerians and foreigners all over the world.
Your own local language will only connect you to a handful of people.

Yes but they made it so of which I don't like.
An ordinary Chinese and Russian citizens prefer their own language than English language why not here too
