WINNERMENTALITY:
Dane argument, how can you compare pidgin with your hausa language. Now I understand why Nigerians Never tally.
Pidgin in countries like Sierelone has been adopted as formal language and English visitors needs to learn it inorder to communicated fluently with the people.
With your Argument it means Nigeria can never adopt pidgin as formal language cos folks like you believe Pidgin is to South while Hausa is to North.

Pidgin can displace Yoruba and Igbo as lingua franca in the south but it cannot displace Hausa, because hausa is a much stronger language which has more speakers.

Yoruba and Igbo are spoken only by the natives of the language in one geo-political zone each, but hausa is used as a lingua franca even among hausas and non hausas in the north.

You're saying horseshit. No one cares that Hausa is a popular language.

None of our local languages have a large and complex vocabulary because we never developed whatever scientific inclinations we might have.

It's simply the truth that Hausa (or Igbo or Yoruba) CANNOT be used to teach science in an effective manner.

Simple proof: state Boyle's law in Hausa language. Or try to label parts of a microorganism in Hausa. And that's just basic stuff.

Neither are there journals or encyclopedias nor is there a large source of knowledge translated into Hausa. This means that those who only understand Hausa aren't privy to knowledge that every other person has access to.

This is EXACTLY why there's a lot of suffering in Africa. Illiteracy and a lack of reading+exploring culture. If the people were knowledgeable, they won't standby and watch the elite rape their future and that of their unborn generation.

Everything isn't about politics and tribalism. We aren't going to develop as a nation if we intend on raising potential liabilities by hiding a great wealth of knowledge from them just because of a stupid choice of language of instruction.

You just argue ignorantly and without direction.
Not even all European languages are used in higher level education for science e.t.c.
The Arabs, Chinese, Japanese and even some Europeans have to learn science in more advanced and developed languages like English, French, German e.t.c.
So, subsahara African languages like hausa does not even come into question.

I can't see where i said that Hausa should become the official language of Nigeria or thr language of higher education. It is the lingua franca of northern Nigeria just like Pidgin is to the south and that was all i ever argued on. Standard english is our federal official language and as long as every southerner is not fluent in standard british english, don't expect every northerner to be either.
As simple as ABC.

Bro, I served in the East and I will tell u that many SS students can't speak English either.
Meanwhile, don't mistake pidgin for English. Pidgin is predominantly spoken in the East and as far as I'm concerned, it is vernacular just the way Hausa language is.

unfortunately the money meant to develop the educational system in the North have been hijacked by their leaders to send their own children to the best schools in Europe and America.
