I think we all pretty much understand. Trouble is, there people for whom it's a touchy subject. They react predictably. They list all the different languages in the world in addition to the over 240 ethnic tongues spoken in Nigeria.

But I fail to see their grouse. Rather, I see someone fighting a losing battle. Competence in English will always remain a symbol of the class of education one has in Nigeria. Whether you like it or not. If you go through Nursery, Primary, Secondary, & University & still can't get your tenses right, then your overall IQ needs to be questioned. Why? Cos English features in all levels of our academic lives. Physics, Biology, Mathematics, Literature etc are all taught & learned in English in this country...& before you can attain any degree of competence in those subjects, you must have a decent grip on comprehension of English. Why? Cos textbooks for Nigerian students are written in English not Igbo, Hausa, Ijaw, etc.


This whole disdain for English is the greatest enabler of the low performance in schools today. Chinua Achebe was powerful in his use of his local tongue, but that never dismissed his equally powerful handling of the English language. There's no crime in being bi- or even multy-lingual. Matter of fact only those with higher intelligence can handle more than one language.

Its amazing how some people are indulge in nonsense. I guess cos most people that sees English language as their saviour never leave Naija then u will be dissappointed cos in England no matter how good ur English is if u don't speak it in their accents, I swear u will be shocked d way u will be looked at as if u not making sense! It will be awesome to speak our own language, maybe we just take pidgin English that never discriminate anyone regardless of their education background.

Google my foot

Pls Bro, can u enlightened me? I am open to learn. What is nonsense talk I uttered b4 Pls?

Leonbonapart:
Islam and Muslims are the anti-christ that was spoken about

Any spirit that deny that Jesus Christ is the Son of God is anti-christ

Jews is anti Christ not Muslim. That's why I was surprised seeing Ipob leader portraying himself as jew. Jew mostly attack xtian during Xmas time in Israel, u can Google it. Then our so called pastor donating bus to them lol. Ignorance is a disease!!!

Y'all need to stop saying this. English is a respected language all over the world. Let's say we decide to stop speaking English in Nigeria today, what language would we choose? Is it the Yoruba or the Igbo language? The thing is this English is the common thing to all tribes in Nigeria. I don't understand Igbo when it's spoken but if you say it in English, I would. The Kenyans have Swahili, the common language outside English

Respected language forced on people by killings, raping and maiming. English is just like any other language, agbero, thief, rapist and all in London speaks good English cos it's their language. It doesn't make them a better person mind u!

Leonbonapart:
Jesus is Lord that's all

Allah ain't no God

Mumu, that's Arabic word for God. I'm sure u don't know that there's Arabic Bible and Arab xtian. They too say Allah. Allah is written in Arabic Bible.
Ignorance is a disease!!!

Imagine if hes black, muslim or minority.


THE AIRPORT BOMBER FROM LAST WEEK YOU NEVER HEARD ABOUT

This last week Friday morning, at 12:39 a.m., security footage from the Asheville Regional Airport in North Carolina showed a man walking through the front doors wearing black clothing and a black cap, while carrying a bag. “Based on a review of the video, the individual walked near the entrance to the terminal, went out of sight momentarily, and was then seen departing the area without the bag,” according to the criminal complaint.

Following the Transportation Security Administration’s protocols, airport security allowed a bomb dog to sniff the bag for explosives and the dog signaled to the team the presence of dangerous materials in the bag. The concourse was then shut down. The street leading to the airport was shut down. And Asheville Regional Airport officials found themselves in a dangerous emergency situation.

What investigators eventually found in the bag was AN/FO (Ammonium Nitrate/Fuel Oil) explosives that, according to the criminal complaint, have been used “in a number of terrorist-related incidents around the world. When AN/FO comes into contact with a flame or other ignition source it explodes violently. Nails or ball bearings are often items added to the device so as to increase the devastation inflicted by the explosion.””*
