Yes. You can learn by living in the East. Many Unilag students learn Yoruba just by living and interacting with people in Yaba. Nobody forced them to take lectures in Yoruba.

You can also make Igbo a compulsory subject and that would help too

I agree with you .

Many Nigerians are willing to learn Chinese when they want to go and study in China, or learn German when they want to travel to Germany for business or pleasure. However when a Chinese man or woman comes here, we speak English to them and kowtow to them. If the Nigerian Government is serious about serious development for the nation, the teaching of our local languages and culture should be massively promoted in our Primary and Secondary schools.

texazzpete:
There is no difference between

“Everyone must speak Igbo in school on Wednesday “

And

“Vote APC or we throw you into the lagoon”

Both espouse intolerance towards diversity.


If you want to ‘save the Igbo language’, make it a compulsory subject and teach it rigorously in school. Same as how we do for English.

Forcing non-Igbos to wear Igbo attire and speak Igbo language...that’s nonsense.

If you are not Igbo, but you school in the East, you should not be forced to wear Igbo attire. However, schooling in a Igbo State should be seen as an opportunity to learn the Igbo Language. My mum is Yoruba. She grew up in Calabar. She speaks Igbo, Yoruba and Calabar dialects including Efik.

mvem:
No!...Japanese and Chinese because of pride speak their own language...you don't see Japanese prime minister speak English in the UN meeting even if he can. See! igbo is dying. I see many Igbo youths that can't speak igbo, forming phonetics. Unlike Hausa and Yoruba that is taught from childhood. Many igbo parents sometimes willingly refuse teaching Igbo to their kids because they want them to appear more western or civilized which is very wrong. See many igbo brought ups in Lagos, Kaduna, kano etc can't speak igbo. In the North even in official setting they joyfully speak their hausa but in the east it is not the case. I don't know why many igbos sometimes pretend they can't speak igbo and this is rampant among young youths and those slay Queens...The language will slowly die with this mentality erasing our culture. We should encourage igbo to be spoken and no one should be shy to speak it. We igbos always try to appear more western which in the long run will affect our heritage.

Well said and spoken. God bless you.

samwash:
Oga!!! Ur argument is baseless, those countries u name above speck a unifieing language, which are Chinese, Japanese, Dutch , Korean etc. And there citizens speck English at the international stage. Nigeria is a muti-legual nation, English is our unifieing language.

Hmn. Says who? In the Netherlands, they have more than one national language. They speak flemish and frisian in the Netherlands too. What happened is that the government promoted dutch as the main national language. Same thing can happen in Nigeria with 3 major languages being promoted as the national language- Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo. With government support and mutual understanding, this policy will work. We need to start from somewhere.

If you train our students with native language, how do you think we can cope with international debate or expressing ourselves in an interview or relating with investors in nigeria. While Korea and rest of the country u mentioned are like that is because their government did a lot for them, empowering everybody with the skills and intellectuality without going to foreign land. I bet Nigeria can't do that. Even our politicians send their kids to foreign land. There's no empowerment. And that's why we need to empower ourselves by learning the foreign language. That's our last option

We are not going to develop properly as a Nation until we adopt our languages as the language of teaching. The Japanese have English as a 2nd language mainly for trade purposes. Japan won't be where it is today if the Japanese adopted English as their first language. Same for South Korea and China. We can create and develop curricula in our native languages if we are determined to do so. Language is a powerful tool of development.

Tayeni:
As desirable as it is to teach science and other forms of education in our mother tongues, it's not feasible in a country that's not homogeneous .
. Not even in Africa as a whole. We are too fragmented along language lines. Too many languages.

I don't agree with you. Many Northerners understand Hausa language to an extent. Same with the Eastern states. Many Igbo people have their dialects of the Igbo language, but the average Igbo person understands the commonly spoken Igbo language. Yorubas understand one another, though the Yoruba Language has several dialects. China has many tribes too, and they speak about 5-6 languages in that country. However, most Chinese people understand Mandarin or Cantonese, which are used as the languages of instruction in their schools.

IGBOmarryme:
IMO already started it first with Emeka Ihedioha.

Really? That is good then. Yoruba states need to follow suit. It is a good way of boosting the domestic fashion industry and also promoting our various cultures. I have always pushed for policies like this online. It should even be enshrined in our constitution.

Xclusiveme:
They should have an igbo speaking day once a week, the rest of the days English. English is really important in training a child. Children these days don't really know how to express themselves in English because of native lang upbringing. Our mother's tongue is necessary too but we need to be advanced in English first than any other language.

Yes, Igbo Language should be spoken on the same day traditional clothing is worn to school. However, I don't agree that English Language should be given more prominence than our local languages. The Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Germans do not speak English as their first language and they also do not teach with English language in their schools. English Language is a 2nd language in China, Japan, South and North Korea and Germany. And these nations are far ahead of Nigeria in so many things. I believe we will produce more intelligent people in our schools if we teach students with Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. Cheers.

Very good move. I'm loving this. This policy should be adopted by all the States in Nigeria. A day in the week should be chosen for Primary and Secondary school students in Nigeria to dress in traditional clothing to attend classes. This would keep tailors and fashion designers working to produce different styles of native clothes all year round. It would also boost Nigeria's fashion industry. The Anambra State government has made a good move with this directive. All other states should adopt it. Nice One .

Nerro042:
Numerous opportunities in this country but alas it's filled with unpatriotic citizens who'd bash and elope the country in a flash.. It's a shame really this Nigeria holds too much potential to remain like this.

Very true. If you are abroad, the person or persons you are sending money to monthly is/are feeding better than you. They can spread that 10,000 to 25,000 Naira thinly and feed well than you, because they know where to get cheap foodstuff. They are eating Semovita, Amala ( both black & white ), Eba, Pounded Yam, all kinds of soups, They buy chicken, fish, meat, snails etc to spice their soups. You are in Europe or America working your ass off to pay bills etc. When last did the people you send money to in Nigeria send you a gift? When last did they buy common garri for you? Do they even ask about you and your welfare at all? Some of them are secretly building their house while collecting 10,000 naira from you monthly .

Sammy07:
Lol, honestly I don't know it's name.
But we saw clearly that it carried mat...

One of my friends died in the process, he was slapped, he and the security man sha.
They were smoking cigarettes in the middle of the night. (the bush sha)

The security man used more than 3 months in the hospital.
My friend died on the spot...

Till today, all the security men stays indoor...

Hmn. I am interested in stories like this. I believe you because I have come across a creature in the forest in 1995. Very scary creature like that. My cousin and I ran for our dear lives that day. So, what do you think slapped your late friend and the security man? Is it the crying demon or another creature lurking around that night? Did the security man die too ? The farm must be located near a forest, I think. Let me hear from you.

More money for global health organizations. Without all these outbreaks of viruses and epidemics, WHO, big Pharma and Scientific organizations will have their yearly budgets and funding reduced. The media is co-opted into the drama to raise the stakes and blow up the 'epidemic' via consistent news broadcasts about the current virus and China.

I just sneezed Let me go and take some paracetamol. God forbid bad thing o.

uuzba:
Europeans, Westerners all live on credit.
Their bank account is 0.00. They use credit card for everything. Food, Clothes, Car, Phone contract, mortgage.
And then they spend their lives, working and paying back the credit, month after month.
In that type of life, one can barely save anything. That's why they pay monthly rent. They can never save money like us to pay yearly.
We Nigerians do not have credit system.
Nobody here will give you Food, Clothes, Car, Phone contract, mortgage on credit.
Go and earn your complete money first, before buying anything.
So somehow, we are better at saving money.
We can save to pay annual rent.
But believe me, if you allow your life to go down the path of credit-credit-credit.... you can never gain it back.
Majority of British students take out a student loan to even go to university. And this money is deducted from their salary if and when they get jobs
after graduation.
Many get seriously depressed becuase of this. If they don't pay, it is recorded as a bad credit rating and they can not take more credit for any other thing.
Some just gather small money, enter aeroplane and run to Australia (a country made or formerly British citizens) and start a new life there, never to return to UK.

@uuzba, you are absolutely correct. Spot on . When Nigerians demand money anyhow from their relatives abroad, I just shake my head. The person that can send you £50 or $50 has tried for you because nobody will dash him that amount of money in Europe or America. Yet, you see Nigerians complaining about their friends, siblings, relatives and cousins in Europe being stingy. You that just ate Semovita, vegetable soup and meat as your dinner , will now pick up your phone and ask for £100 from someone in the UK who is buying chicken and chips from a fast food joint on his street as his dinner- This person is also thinking of how to pay his rent for that Month though he has a full time job. Some of you need to come and work in Europe and America so that you can understand the 'Billing Lifestyle and System'. May God grant you the visa you are praying for. Amen. I am not saying Nigerians are not making it in Europe and America, don't get it twisted. What I am saying is that you should not always think the Grass is Greener on the other side of the Fence. This assumption is relative.

Kelechi009:
Yeah, this is why people in the west live from paycheck to paycheck. Once job is lost, they are dead.

Very true. Many Nigerians don't understand the systems in the western world. Due to Rents, Mortgages, Bills, Council Tax etc, there is not much left of people's Salaries and Wages. That is why people hold on to their jobs with all their might because of the monthly payments they have to make. This is why Africans in Europe and America, Canada, Australia etc need to create multiple sources of income. Nigerians need to come and work in Europe for a year to know what people are going through, so that they will stop demanding for money anyhow. If your car has a fault or breaks down, God help you with repair fees . And when you start popping kids in the white man's land, na huge FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY be that o. God help us all. Amen.

bunto:
I can so relate to this. Way back in 2005 I started a food packaging business. I promised all my employees that they would always receive 13th month salary. They also went home every month with products that the packaging had been damaged or returned by customers.
Between 2005 - 2008 they received tje 13th month. I thought they were loyal, not knowing they had become a cartel to milk me dry. In 2008 I had to take a loan to finance the business still. Not know they were stealing. They got so comfortable stealing that people later said they were using "juju" on me. A lot of other people saw them stealing and ruining my business but you know Nigerians, nobody said anything. By 2009 I couldn't repay the loan so I lost my collateral. By the end of 2009, when I couldn't pay the 13th month, every single one of them left.

I used all my gratuity from working with an oil company to set up this business. They just came to ruin me and left.

On the flip side, I have a friend that wouldn't pay her staff for months, her children school abroad. Yet her staff stay for years, they dare not steal from her.

Honestly, Nigerians are the cause of their own woes. Businesses pack up daily because Nigerians care so little about each other.

They don't seem to realise it affects every part of their lives, their children's lives and future.
We are tearing this country apart through nonchalance and greed.

I don't know a more disloyal citizenry than Nigerians. It is all quite unfortunate because together we could make a phenomenal nation.

Hmn. Very deep testimony from you. Dishonesty and Greed is very rampant among Employers and Employees in Nigeria. You employ someone and that person wants to buy a Jeep through your business at the end of the year. You can be a good and generous employer but very calculative and firm at the same time. You need to commit your business into the hands of God and scrutinize daily operations carefully. Don't waste time in sacking any dubious, lazy or unproductive worker. Do spot checks with your customers to actually know how your employees act when they go out to supply goods to them. Don't be careless and too trusting. At the end of the day, it is your Company and you are responsible to make it succeed. Cheers.

The whole picture of immigration into and life in Europe and North America was not given to Africans by the western media and our people who live in the white man's lands. On the other hand, the whole picture of life and living standards in African nations was not given to Europeans and Americans, Canadians, Australians etc by the same Western Media. Africans themselves do not know much about their countries apart from the States and Regions they live in or their States of Origin. Many Nigerians have not lived in or visited more than 3 Nigerian States in their lifetime. Everyone is at fault here. Africans prefer to go on holiday to Dubai or Florida when we have exotic countries like Cape Verde and Seychelles in Africa. Kenya and Tanzania also have good tourism spots. The truth is Africans don't value what they have. The Asians understand Africa better.

BreconHills:
Not completely true. Certainly if you look at Europe the Middle ages or some call it Dark Ages lasted from the 5th Century to the 15th Century. That is a heck of a lot of time! But we could have leapfrogged all this in the same way Dubai and Singapore have done so why havent we?

The main reason is we are a country with an extraordinarily high friction rate. It's difficult getting things done but we a lot of this friction owes to the fact that you have over 50 different nationalities bunged up together with differing views, outlooks and culture. Friction filled tribal relationships have not helped.

But why am I so hopeful.

An entirely new country is being built around human capital, technology and innovation. Nigeria is the clear leader in numbers of innovation hubs, tech funding is huge and most of it is local. The new wealth isnt crude oil but people. Why isnt it changing things? Well, a lot of graduates are badly educated but entitled. They want the old economy where you go and work in a company or they become life coaches spreading ignorance and narrow perspectives in their trail. They wont get it. It's gone, dead, kaput!

Sure weve had horrid leaders but that doesnt completely explain why we are where we are. I wont go into that.

But we have made progress - huge progress. Think of Nigeria 30 years ago with an archaic telecoms system, low bandwidth, relying on 100% fossil fueled domestic energy, ( today some of us are off grid using solar), crumbling state schools and almost no private hospital system. There was no HMO, international travel was restricted to very few privileged people and income mobility was extremely narrow. Today there has been progress, not as much as we would have liked

Initial progress in any country like Nigeria is private sector led. The malls are redefining shopping, cinemas lifestyle, payment systems are creating frictionless transactions and housing developments are moving from grand luxury to income directed accomodation. You no longer need to know the bank manager to access credit.
What needs to happen is that Government needs to expand opportunities for private sector by opening up the country with rail and motorways. This is exactly what is happening.

I am a pre independence person so heck I might not see as much of the future as the really young people but believe me you are staring at a much brighter horizon than say 40 years ago. But it wont come on a plat you have to know your sectors and build the appropriate skills and networks.

Long reply. But what the..

Well Spoken. Thanks.

Ibime:
This is so funny.

This guy face look like he go soon get heart attack. Doing business in Nigeria no easy oh.

Fortunately, he is the type of entrepreneur Nigeria needs at the moment. If you care to know, it is very hard to stay away from Nigeria for too long if you are born in the country. People are investing back home, My brother. Europe and America have a way of jolting you back to reality after settling down there for 10 years and above. If Akon can come back to Senegal to invest in the land of his Father and Grandfather, then many Nigerians abroad should not be blamed for setting up businesses in Nigeria. Bad economy and other negative factors standing against business ventures in Nigeria should not stop Nigerian-Americans or Nigerians from following Akon's example.

I know the dude in the video. His name is Ebun Okubanjo. We attended the same secondary school in Ogun State in the 90's and I was his senior. He was in JSS 1 when I was in SS 1, if I can remember clearly. I doff my hats off to him for having the courage to run a business in Nigeria after living in the USA for many years. I can't remember him being a violent person or rough guy. And he comes from a good and well mannered family- I know his brother and cousins ( We all attended Ijebu-Ode's premier secondary school for Boys ). Women can be uncouth sometimes though I don't know the underlying factors behind the issue at hand. Cheers.

candy15:
My dear I prefer Ibadan to Akure oooo....I spent my service year in Akure and its expensive there compared to Ibadan. The transportation, accommodation, feeding is expensive in Akure and light is very bad at Akure unless you living at govt quarters. Dubious 419 plenty for Akure like seriously. Please go for Ibadan.

Just coming across this thread now. I served in Akure too way back in 2005/2006. You are very correct with what you have just said. Seems things have not changed that much in Akure, Ondo State. Light was very bad then in Akure . I stayed with two fellow corpers in a room at Isolo. Food was a bit expensive too. On accommodation, I can't really say if Akure has more expensive Rooms and Flats to let compared to Ibadan. I schooled in Ibadan but I stayed on the University campus throughout my 4 year degree program. Akure has some positives though . It is a place that is technologically progressive when it comes to internet and cable facilities. You can thrive in Akure as a start-up because the calm atmosphere and quietness to think is there. And I think affordable office space is available too, based on what I noticed in my one year stay in the City. Cheers.

Scary thread .

I also have this green ladies shoe for sale. It is New and very good for ceremonial outings and Owambe . It is size is 37.5 ( Size 7 and a half ).

Liposure:
I'm not surprised at all. Afterall, we live in country where more dan half d population survive on less dan $1 per day.

Can you prove the theory that more than half of Nigerians live on less than $ 1 USD per day? Yes, poverty is real in Nigeria but it is a relative thing. $1 is about 360 Naira. Are you telling me that the breakfast of the average Nigerian is not worth more than 360 Naira? Do you know that someone in Abeokuta or Akure is eating a bowl of eba and egusi soup as his breakfast this morning? How much is this bowl of eba and soup worth if a European chef is made to put a price on the meal? And don't forget that there is a piece of meat and fish in the soup . So the meal alone is worth more than $ 1 USD. Is this guy not working? He has a room he rents on a monthly basis. Many Nigerians live like this man or even better than him. Even the goat seller in Kano has more than $100 USD on him at anytime of the day. Western nations have their deep problems too, including hunger, poverty etc. The only thing is they have a good welfare system.

Ignorance on the side of the Western world and African Governments. It is a two way thing. There are hungry people in the advanced nations too. These people line up to be fed in city centers in Europe by Charity organizations once or twice a week. Even in some homes in Europe, the quality of food they eat is very poor. Food is not cheap anywhere in the world. People are rushing to food banks in the UK. The difference is that there are more opportunities to get a job in Europe, USA, Australia, Canada etc. In Nigeria, people do not know how to make good meals from the crops they see in the Market. Nigeria has a good diet and meals roster. Look at the Northerners in Nigeria . There is absolutely no way Northern children should be malnourished with the availability of Maize, Millet, Sorghum, Acha, Beans etc there. These grains can be processed into different kinds of meals for Northerners. So, I don't always subscribe to data and reports provided by Foreign Agencies about Nigeria. These analysts in western capitals should try and live among Africans and build their offices there. Cheers.

Home grown solutions to problems will help Nigeria in the long run. This Amotekun organization is just like the Bakassi Boys of Anambra State. And it is even covering the whole Southwest of Nigeria. Without security, Nigeria will not be able to make the necessary progress the nation needs. Human lives and Property must be secured at all costs. Lazy bones should go and find something to do, instead of engaging in criminal activities. Enough is Enough.
