Anambra To Punish Teachers Flogging Pupils For Speaking Igbo by Ctorch: 4:44pm On Feb 01, 2020
The Anambra State Government has asked teachers in the state to reinvigorate the teaching of the Igbo Language in schools.

The state government warned that teachers fining or flogging pupils for speaking Igbo would be dealt with.

The state Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs, Culture & Tourism, Ms Sally Mbanefo, gave the warning at a workshop for the revival of Igbo in Awka on Friday.

She reminded the teachers of the law making it compulsory for pupils in the state to dress in traditional attire and speak Igbo in school every Wednesday.

Mbanefo  said Governor Willie Obiano was out to save Igbo language from extinction.

It annoys me when teachers say no speaking of vernacular in class, as in ehn, our own language o. We should kill our mother tongue just because of one foreign language called English. My name enter list of noise makers because of my own language angry

This is a welcome development. In the core north they teach English language and mathematics using hausa language.

Why our people like foreign things too much to the detriment of their identity is what I don't understand.

Was speaking with one the other day she called our language "vernacular". Wetin pain me pass be say even the English she no sabi, oya pidgin sef, the worse, nonsense. I don't blame them, na low esteem dey do them.

Especially all these lagos brought up, they hardly speak our language, they even prefer yoruba. Igbos are fast losing their identity.

It's not about killing the Igbo language. There's nothing wrong in speaking Igbo at home and English in school. This will help the kids immerse themselves in both languages. Regardless of how much a language is taught in class, one can never reach fluency until they use it in their day to day activities. Speaking Igbo in school will only deprive the kids the opportunity of constant practice.

I am strongly against pidgin being spoken in school, or anything different from the language that is taught. Like it or not, Nigeria is a multicultural entity, and as such we need a unifying lingua franca to better understand one another. Hence English. It annoys me when I see people speaking the English poorly. middle class citizens mind you, not necessarily the poor. Pidgin or vernacular is a poor man's language, and the sooner we stop representing that in all our media the better. Improving our mother tongue is also commendable. nothing wrong in that. In a class room setting where English is the language that is being taught, any other language should not be tolerated.
