Mother tongue or not, English has come to stay. Mother tongue is the problem we are facing in Nigeria today. Think about Nigeria with only one General Language? hopefully 'mother tongue' will fade away. 'Pigin' or Correct English will be our General Language.

One of the lost Africans.... thinks knowing english is intelligence. English is not a test of knowledge? Somebody can be a genius in mathematics and logic and be very poor in learning languages.

Japanese speaks japan
Germans speaks german, French speak French, china, singapore, korean all speak their languages, yet u know nothing compare to them. If u are in a class with a korean, he wiĺ be speaking his poor english, but at the end he makes his distinction.
so stop decieving your self with your english skills, in doesn't count in the world sphere of interlligence.

Yes it does sir. English skill is necessary in an English speaking country like Nigeria. If we was in France, Germany or japan, i'll still correct your sentence structure. English is our first language in Nigeria.

On another hand, maybe people go fly from 'so ugly' cities and we'll have more space for enjoying them. wink

we can have different culture but still speak one general language. But unfortunately, English is our first language. Even though am fluent in 'OKPE' i still might not graduate if my English is poor.

Lets just Embrace the fact that English is our first language. Every other languages remains a Second language.

The problem is that people still use corrugated iron to roof buildings. If ceramic shingles are too expensive, then buildings need to start having cement rooftops, which is what makes this city look clean:

$2000 = N390,000

And the article said one can rent a 3 bedroom flat in Enugu for N390k/month.

This alone tells me that the article is not well researched and therefore declared null and void.

Remove the log in your eye....
Your sentence lacks proper capitalization and punctuation.

Actually, you are wrong, Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba are recognised as national languages and the constitution and some other important documents have been translated into these languages. Furthermore, English is only the official language de jure, Most Nigerians cannot understand and do not speak standard English.
