Hindi and English are the official language. At least, these languages are used as uniting factors in spite of over a hundred native languages being available.

But tell me, which native language can be picked alongside English in Nigeria that would not create serious problems?

we can use the 3 major languages... Those that can't speak should learn... South Africa has more than 3 official languages. What's bad in having such here? Tiny Belgium has three.

You are not being realistic at all. How many of these countries still struggle with ethno-religious crisis like ours. For now, English is serving us well.

We should stop making excuses. No one has stopped anyone from speaking their native language. But we should stop making excuses for those who can't express themselves in barely good English simply because English is a foreign language.

The India you are talking much about is highly indigenous. Hinduism is widely practised. Unlike Nigeria where our traditional religions have been demonized. It is hypocritical to condemn our reverence of the English language and say nothing when we lift foreign religions over our own.
