Nigeria must change its Official Language away from English to Nigerian Pidgin Naija.

The world must struggle and pay to hear us converse and communicate. Britain still make us pay to prove to them that we can speak a useless language they forced on us and has now served as a measure Of intelligence of our people. No matter how sound you are, if you’re not able to speak or write English language properly, then you’re dull!
Even the mediocre English man, doesn’t believe that we can speak his language. He makes us pay to prove to him we can write and speak it.

President Tinubu must add this to his THINK NIGERIA FIRST INITIATIVE and commence a process to replace the English language with Naija in all official form! This will boost patriotism, originality unity and respect.

We need to start dropping the colonial masters footprints on us.

If the National Assembly requires me to draft a Bill on this, with justification and also its economic potential, I gladly will do!

We can transition within five years or even less.

Okay. Pigin english still dey use the 26 alphabets of english language. Why not something different

Supported. We will simply adopt the most popular language fufulde

It doesn’t matter if the alphabets are adopted.

The language is coined from English but it’s our own and the world has to learn it.

And just me one invented in your local language except wicked juju and burantashi. Gerrraout

Urhobo must be the official language

He that pays the piper dictates the tune.
Considering the fact that the Fulani, Hausa, Yoruba have nothing to offer Nigeria except unproductive population.

Considering the fact that the ijaws, itsekiri, urhobo, Efik, ogboni and minorities are the tribes feeding this nation

Only then minority tribes has the right to dictate what language becomes the official language for Nigeria. If you must adopt our oil, you must adopt our language and culture as the official language

I recommend urhobo, Efik, ijaw, Ibibio as the official languages for the nation. The language of the people who feed the nation

This will only work when the nation divides

Naijja wey never fit do these small things, na dem u wan make dem change English. 😆😂

Naija haven't done these yet and dey need to
Change Portharcout back to its original name
Change Lagos Back to Eko
Change Crossriver back to its original name

No be only fufulde, garride. Why not add Tuareg while we are at it.

Shey Oyinbo sabi speak English ni? Ask your brothers in UK, you will be surprised that about 90% of these Oyinbos cannot differentiate between Present, Past, Future or Past Participle

Mr Op u never serious yet. Na thesame Oyinbo English wey u call useless, na still that same English u type give us for here😂😂
So i ask mr op, wetin be dey colour of ur problem?😆😆

Is pidgin not a form English Language? Abeg forget that thing.

You know your suggestion na jagajaga.

You just want talk

If not for any other thing but that useless IELTS, I support you.

I paid 90k in 2023 for this test and aced it completely with 9.0 in Reading and 8.5 in Listening. Also had 8 in Writing and 7.5 in Speaking. Yet, I couldn't use it for the purpose I wanted to and now I am compelled to rewrite the useless test again. This time, coughing out as much as 270k (thrice as much) to register.

God will punish all those people milking us dry through these schemes.

Let's adopt pidgin or the 3 major indigenous languages as our official language. Heavens will not fall. That way, I won't feel bad paying so much to prove I am actually proficient in English Language.

Na only you talk na only you dey laugh.

SMH

Nigerians of the future will speak Swahili as the official language.

That’s the AU lingua franca, and it will be made compulsory in every African school in the coming years.

It will be so great! 😄

Africa for Africans. 😊😎

As u follow me speak pigin now e no sweet you?

Swahili will never be Nigeria’s first language.
We will have our own and not adopt anyone’s language.

Let the East Africans adopt it in their region first because only Tanzania 🇹🇿 and Kenya 🇰🇪 speaks it in the region.

I don’t think it’s open to debate..

It’s already a done deal. It’s just a question of when they will roll it out…

If you can speak English, French, Portuguese, and other colonial languages without problems, you can speak Swahili without problems.

Nigerian indigenous languages will also be promoted.

Are you aware that the AU has full Continental Unification in its Charter?

In the future Africa will be a single country with a single President, military, currency, language, etc.

The current nations will be states of the African federation or confederation.

I support this motion.

We should adopt Hausa like Niger

God forbid. Let it be the original languages then.
