Children should be taught in their mother tongue..... If you have a school with mixed languages, you can use English language but Nigerians should stop using fluent English speaking as measure for intelligence.
There is no urban area without schools with kids of mixed languages and then you have the problem of standardization. WIth over 500 languages, how are you going to set and maintain standards in all the languages

If China, Germany, Russia, France can excel and become world powers teaching in their native languages, I don't see why Africans will continue to confuse their children with lingua franca. It is so bad that the ability to communicate in English is the only test of intelligence in Nigeria and not brain function

If you people don't mention Yoruba una lives can never be the same. You and your foolish comment! Bloody tribalist! Don't you have your own language? Did anybody says you cannot use it. People like you are slaves and will remain slaves to another person language. To show your low IQ you just jumped into conclusions that the person is Yoruba. Kids on Nairaland!
You are disgusting!
irrational and erratic behaviour, uncouth and gutter languages is some of your traits

So what did Igbo think and wha did Hausa and Fulani think because you opened yourr lousy mouth talking without thinking. Did they said the teaching with local dialect only applicable in SW? So China, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Netherlands, England, France, Russia etc that use only their mother tongue are you better than them?

This same silly talk that make Saudi imposed their Arabic on their mohammedism followers and never allow other language to teach islam in their language.
Lagos state already enforced teaching with Yoruba language in public schools every Wednesday or so. In your other Yoruba states you can do the same. Ban English and use Yoruba for official communication and for classroom teaching. You must not make it a national policy to drag others backwards. We don't want to be part of your retarded behaviour and retarded thinking

Your last sentence nailed you completely as the most exceptional retardee of the universe, you are so retarded and mentally myopic to see through the wall that countries using their mother tongue rule the world technologically, politically, stability and progressives.

I'm really ashamed of you to think English is better that Igbo, Hausa etc no wonder fools like you claiming unity begging Jewish my a s s. Be proud of your eritage and stop being fantastically retarded.

Hello I'm not from SW so get that to your skull and hold your peace.

You will be alright, ndooh!

Which stupid reversal is this?

They should stick to the English, when they get home their parent will teach them their mother tongue...

I was just informing my wife last week that should should inform my kids teacher not to allow my kids speak yoruba, and not to also allow the other kids speak it in class..

When they get home, they should speak it, English should be a solid foundation when they are growing up, so that it won't be difficult for them when they have finally grown up
.

I advocate for speaking all the languages you can speak anywhere and everywhere, as far as you are speaking it to someone who understands you. I will encourage my child to speak his mother tongue, pidgin and English language to anyone who can understand and speak it back anywhere and everywhere.

What of students that arent Yoruba, Igbo, or Hausa?
In the region u want to live or living the native language is compulsory in school, thats how its done here in abroad!!!! England kill a lot of our people by forcing their culture on us!!! The painful thing the colonialist will still ask a Nigeria for english test in order to apply for studies at a university. If you think by speaking or writing english make u a smarter person that means all England people that speak english are smart which is so hilarious. I love to hear our native languages even though most of it i dont understand. its so Beautiful unlike english man that told us, an hour but a house. does that make sense?

TOEFL, IETLS and Duolingo English language test would still be required from them if they want to study abroad, while they rather hire translators for Chinese students that don't know how to pronounce come or go. Mumu people.
If you're not using your mother tongue to teach your children in school, you'll always remain underdeveloped.
Check every third world countries, the use of foreign languages as a primary language of education in their schools is the common denominator.

na woww oo. See mentality of an African man thinking less about himself. In Germany, language of study is German, in france is french , in Switzerland German region is German, french region is french while Italian region is Italian. lets elevate and be proud of our native language and stop this colonial mentalty mindset plsssss!!!!
If you are intelligent, you won't be comparing a country with just one language to Nigeria that has multiple language, you be confirm olodo...

So if I as a Yoruba man enrolled my child in a school filled with Igbo, the child should be speaking yoruba while others speak Igbo...

Please don't mention me again, you don't worth my time

This will only divide the country even more, it would have made sense if only we had 1 native language but we don't.
Imagine studying in kogi or benue, you will be taught is a language that is not widely spoken in the country.
I studied in india which this system is practiced, the north and the south are divided. They can only communicate in English. To make it worse Indians can't speak properly English making communication even worse. At the end of the day the southern Indians don't mingle with the northern Indians.

No division amongst them, but you can't deny there isn't a division amongst us, Nairaland is enough proof.
Nobody wants to learn in another native man's language
