Only few will relate to the message i portrait, am not against teaching in Mother tongue, 3v3n public school in lagos uses Yoruba to pass messages for better understanding, as a teacher back in the north I have to learn basic Hausa so as to teach to better understanding.. But now it's not official to teach with mother language why teach with it 100%, will they write there mathematics, English language and other subject in Hausa expecially external exam..
Kindly get my point

Sir I get your point but I tell you we can as human do anything to suit our need, the WAEC can be writing in different language that portrait different region in Nigeria except otherwise, this we bring education to a begar on the street, that lovely kids that only understand Yoruba, or Hausa, Efik, Kanuri, Igbo, and many other language can easily understand better yes if such person want, more,then English will be needed,

My brother school in France, He pay more,to receive lecture in English Language but if you have lecture in local dialect you pay less,

I have some friend in china schooling, these same thing is apply, try to buy any mechanical equipment from china, all their labels will be in Chinese, because they use that local language to explain to them so it part of them

1, Let's Assume That British doesn't have the chance to Colonized us, Which Language would you adopt as your National Language ?.

2, Do you also think that there's any Country on Earth that Have Only one Tribe or Language ?

3, How did They solve their Problem ?

4, Do you also Think that Nigeria languages are not capable of staying on Their own educationally

if NO,
from The above what are the benefits of being or bearing such languages?

If the British did not colonise us, WE WILL NOT BE TOGETHER.
There will be NO NIGERIA
NO NAIRA CURRENCY, NO CENTRAL BANK, NO PRESIDENT, NO GOVERNOR, NO DEMOCRACY.
NO Airport, NO cars, No sea port, NO Schools. No books, No internet, No phone, NO Road. No Machinery,
NO Technology.
Each of our tribes was not communicating with each other before.
We did not have scientist to develop technology for us. Everybody was comfortable in their villages, climbing palm tree.
And that's the problem we still have in Nigeria. People mess up the government service, steal money and then....
.... RUN BACK to their VILLAGES to hide.
... And there's NOTHING IN THAT VILLAGE. No single technology, No invention. Not a single factory.
Without English, all our cities will collapse and everybody will just go back and farm in their village.

harjay1986:


that is where we get it all wrong in this country, so let say we have chemistry writin in your language , yes you will still infuse some terms, in chemistry that are english or some other but the base language will be your local language , it part of the reason we are not goin anywhere as per development because we concentrate more on another person knowledge neglecting our own,

Where you taught in your local dialect? If no, how come you know so much and can express yourself so well?

you that you are asking someone what is atom in their own lauguage, can you explain the origin of atom, just because you read it from book doesnt means you know it all,

Funny question but I'll answer you. The origin of the atom is at best inconclusive because different schools of thought have different claims. Some say it was created by an almighty creator, others say it appeared out of nothing because of surrounding forces.

when the IGBO people build armor tank during the civil war you think they are speaking english abi,

No they weren't. But they achieved so much because they didn't need to share ideas. These days, we need to share ideas. The IUPAC nomenclature in chemistry for example give universally acceptable names to compounds to make it easy for scientists to relate globally

we need the local language if we really want to develop as a country

This is not necessary. Most teachers already "mix" languages to explain to their students. We don't need more.

So let them all speak their indigenous languages.
This website is made by Seun, a Yoruba guy.
He has to reprogram everything into Yoruba.
Then only Yoruba people can use it. The rest of us will have to go and form our own website and see if we can get any users.
There's 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria. So one website for each group.
One English website will be divided into 250 ethnic websites.
Then this unity we have now, because of English, will be disbanded.
Democracy will have to end also because they speak English in Aso Rock. We have to break that up. Each senator will speak his language
and Buhari will speak Hausa.
Then nobody will understand each other and that will be the end of Nigeria as a Nation.
In the Bible, the Tower of Babel came to an end because the construction workers were imbued with different tongues.
Enough of all this.
People keep on refusing to see the the positive side of the English we speak in this country.
Oya, don't speak again. I too will stop speaking. We end all communication.

Most of you haven't step foot in the North thats why I can't blame you.
The North has budget for education than any other region but backwardness won't let dem shine..
The library they haave in the school I served enn, have never come across such in a public school down south and still the only thing the student comes in to do is glance tru picture and laugh, even teachers can barely express dem self.
Long story jare

I have to quote you to respond and enlighten you about the problem in the north generally. You say what you want to say but I am not a fool.

There are people with sense and there are foolish ones, and the reasons for their foolishness is not lack of education but religious fanaticism and ethnic polarities which cause division and conflicts in the region unlike in the west, east and south south, you guys have one common tribes and religion in each region, can have inter faith or religious marriage, a man can be Christian and wife Muslim and vise versa but in the north, not same. So they (I am part of them, because I am from north east) tend to have problems especially in assigning who to do what, when, where and how due to these aforementioned factors, and leading to nepotism where by the hausa people believed they are born to rule and they, the hausas don't have the qualifications and competent, and the other tribes are not given chance.

Addressing your point of teaching in hausa language, that's not an issue, in other countries I went among are france use french in their schools, Malaysia use Malay, Tamil, chinese from kindergarten to secondary depending on the race you belong to because they 3 doninate race and even in universities, they use malay in which you can meet professors who can not read and write in English. Thus, if the north teach the children the right education in either hausa or english by giving other tribes who competent, you will insult and say what you are saying about the north, because few northerners do betray their brothers like the way other part of Nigeria do. Example, you can see you guys political godfather Tinubu, he sold you guys to northern fulani man Buhari, the south eastern governors are betrating their IPOB brothers who are agitating for self actualisation, in which they know vividly that if the resources that fund Nigeria economy is from the north, our northern leaders could have disintegrate the relationship called Nigeria, you can see the case of gold from zamfara.

Meanwhile, the Nigerians itself are not united like before and the leaders are taking advantage of that to use this division and religion as menace to the society. When I was doing my first degree, I remembered, the lecturers do tell us that, the government do give them a whole roasted chicken twice in a week, 4 tin of milk and ovatea during breakfast everyweek in all the universities in Nigeria and all this is from the resources of Nigeria but now, even rice and bean, they can not offer to primary school kids.

If you want to know about the north very well, go and stay there for atleast 2years but for now I will not advice you because even me, I left north to stay in maldives pending when you guys remove Buhari and Tinubu from controlling the resources of Nigeria because I don't vote for Buhari.

You guys should continue to enjoy the chanji dole.

thanks sir, I like the fact that you break everything down for me one after the other

first I happen to be a product of mix language,

if we have to judge by the way we are taught in school then, we are goin to loss it, society now have to be taking with different approach if the old ones are are not working,

as the case of Nigeria Uni, that dish out half bake graduate every year

I understand the sharing of Idea that you mention but not when I understand a,subject matter that I will be able to exchange any usefull idea about it ?

the introduction of local dialect to teach is for us to really impact knowlegbe since that is what our local people understand,

Communication means ability to understand,each other, with this we have solve 50 percent of the problem

School with nobody to attend.

Nice structures but I feel these investments is misplaced. Like Hollawayn05 said on the first page, there’s no visible improvement seen on the people from that region education-wise even with all the heavy investments in infrastructure.
Yes, English is not our mother tongue but it is our official language for crying out loud. So it is for majority of the countries of the world.
I’m thinking that majority of these heavy investments in infrastructure should be channeled to human capital development and training of teachers or more importantly even, converting most of their texts that are written in English to the language they understand and teachers trained properly to teach these subjects in their own language.
If Bibles can be translated to different languages with different versions, why not educational materials?
I feel Northern elites are willfully or ignorantly focusing on the wrong things as far as development is concerned.

These infrastructure are needed more in the South because it’s lacking while human capital development/proper training and adequate educational resources are lacking in the North.
My humble submission.

@ the bolded. "Mixed language" worked for you right? It's working for others too. The only thing we need to add is to try and make teaching and learning as practical as possible. Besides, a lot of people don't really understand their local dialects as deeply as their parents anymore.

You think English Is Holier To you.

Mr Almighty English.

Remember that No Single Country on Earth That developed with Foreign Language.


England Teaches with English
French Teaches with French
Russia teaches with Russian
China teaches With Mandrin
India Teaches with Hindi or Bengali or telegu


only in Africa that Abandoned their Mother Tongue and Became Proud with Explorers/Migrators/Refugees Ones and also make chase beating with it.

So you're supporting that they should be taught with Hausa language?

Ok. After teaching them in Hausa language, will they write professional exams like First school leaving, common entrance, junior waec, senior waec, neco, nabteb and GCE in Hausa language? The answer is NO.

Those countries you mentioned above have their official languages which is being used to lecture students and therefore they have no issues.

But Hausa isn't Nigeria's official language neither are igbo, yoruba and efik.

CamusMidas:

They can give it a name and call it whatever they want.

No words are added every now and then to the dictionary.

That will be how many steps backwards?

In case you don't understand my question, I'll explain. So someone gives it a name. Some people agree, others disagree. Then they debate it until a compromise is reached. Then they pick the next term and repeat the process again. On and on until the thousands of scientific terms have been named. By your own estimation, how long will that take?

So I ask again. That will be how many steps backwards?

Amazing structures.

The new Mega School Located at Jimtilo Kano road Maiduguri will by far be the largest primary school in Borno state, when completed.

The ultra modern school is being built with following components:

• 60 Classroom capacity.
• Administrative buildings.
• computer laboratory.
• Staff Quarters
• Dinning hall
. Digital Education aids will be deployed

Boko haram will soon comman drop one small missile and boom, d school is deserted and begins to delapidate. Don't quote me

When are bandits and boko haram coming to kidnap students from this school?

That’s the business in the north now.

Meanwhile, Miyetti Allah is warming up for another negotiation.

you are the biggest fool I know, enemy of progress... So because during your time things were not good so things will remain like that And will not get better... So because when you were there it was bad so they should abandon the schooling system And let them remain illiterate.... Olodo... Small sense you dont have.

The structure there are far better than some state universities in the South.

My concern mainly is the quality of learning. School is not just the structures and buildings but the standard of teaching and learning. I served in Kano and saw fantastic public schools but the quality of teachers and students were far below sub standard sef.

My father learned in a very small shanties and buildings in the 50s but they were tutored by seasoned teachers and missionaries as schools were in the hands of the Roman Catholic Church.

They are just all noise, wasteful and lack any sense of priority and purpose. So much disconnect between them and the people they govern. Always executing bloated projects without real impacts on their people. Zero interest and understanding of the need to invest in human capital. Only empowering thugs, social misfits and nonentities as SSAs, SAs etc.

There is nothing like having a governor with an intellectually sound mind, tenacious focus and impeccable self discipline.

There is no doubt that Zulum is an amazing governor.

Borno will certainly rise again and above its peers, from what we are seeing.
