hajifaty: When Nigeria becomes a global power then we can talk about other pple learning our languages and cultures. Millions of foreigners goes to China every year to learn the so called chinese language that u folks are bad mouthing. Even Joe Biden, the US VP has a daughter in sichuan China that is schooling there. What happened to american educational systems?

pdone: Forget that. Haven't you heard about the phrase "Country's Interest". If you believe that China donates $20bn to Africa just like without any hidden agenda, then you must be living in planet Mars. My guy everything is business and politics as usual. It is just like campaign, a politician will spend extravagantly in order to win an election knowing fully well that once he win, he will recover the money in one way or the other.

Are you kidding me? Tell me you are joking. Nigeria still remain the China top customers from Africa. You don't need to have the technology before your country is consider economy opportunity by another country. Check the history of United Arab Emirate and its development.
indeed

ballabriggs: There are indeed loads of dolts in Nigeria who give themselves headache over non-issues.

The Chinese and Japanese are learning English today. Why? Because it gives them an advantage in trade. Nigeria today is a big trading partner with China, why should we not make our children learn their language? Is it not for our own advantage? Come to England today and see young people from Asia learning English and studying models to take back to their country.

shymexx: Why is everyone crying foul? Nigerians are not critical thinkers - this is a good development as the world moves into a bi-polar world... China is going to be the biggest economy in the next 20 years, and the Anglo-american domination is on its last lap... You need to thank them for planning ahead - as the world heads towards the east..

China and mandarin has come to stay - don't be surprised when everyone in Europe and America starts speaking mandarin in the next 30 years... I'm trying to learn the language as well... China is just getting its military power together before it kicks America's arse out of Asia - and it already owns US anyway..

Kudos to the forward thinkers!! cool
not many Chinese speak English do you Africans really hate your languages this badly tongue

turl: They are not required to learn our language but for the ones that do, kudos to them, it might be the difference between making or breaking a business deal. now turn the tables around and picture yourself competing for an investment from a chinese business man alongside an american, speak the lingo and you would have already given yourself the edge.
even Alan Sugar said the same here in the UK. we have to make these guys our friends now before its too late.

D sage: Yes, in the sense that importation of culture has a great influence in both economy and social life of the people of that particular society it imported to. Borrow cultures lead to;

* Change in principle and ideology
* change in fundamental vocational skills on which a society was built.

NOTE: The easiest way of introduce a culture is through language.
how many nations borrow African culture(slave trading/colonial nations don't count grin) because not many do sad

you might want to Introduce Portuguese and drop french because Brazil is is bigger than the UK and will take France
Brazil can overtake France and become world's 5th largest economy
The Brazilian economy became the 6th largest in the world last year, surpassing the U.K., and is likely to reach 5th in 2012, overtaking France. The forecast by the U.K.'s EIU (Economist Intelligence Unit) consultants show that Brazil is rising quickly in the rank of largest economies.

"Such development would seem unlikely five years ago, but they reflect how the wealthiest economies were affected by the crisis and how the Brazilian economy has been expanding, boosted by the export of commodities," says EIU senior economist Robert Wood.

"The changes also reflect a stronger Brazilian real." Although the Brazilian expansion in 2011 was considered weak, 2.7%, it was higher that the U.K.'s, 0.8%. Such expansion made Brazil's GDP, measured in dollars, surpass the U.K.'s by a small margin.

The same is likely to occur regarding the French economy in 2012. The EIU forecasts that Brazil will grow 3.3%, while France's economy will be stagnant. Exchange rates will help Brazil surpass France.

EIU forecasts that the Brazilian real will be stable compared to the dollar throughout 2012, while the euro will devalue. With the changes, the Brazilian economy will only have a lower GDP than the U.S., China, Japan and Germany.

norrisman: Nigerians are very myopic. Why would the Chinese need to learn a Nigerian language. Is any Nigerian language a recognised international language of communications. Why do the Dutch and Scandinavians speak almost flawless English whilt most people in the UK only speak english? Because english is a recognised international language. Are the Dutch and Scandinavians better for it, I think yes. Thank goodness they are not mumu like the majority on this thread and say they wont learni english because the English arent learning dutch.

China is becoming a superpower and it is forward planning. The only shame is that this initiative will only exist on paper and we will never see a teacher teach mandarin in a Lagos classroom.
i don't see them replacing there language with English like the Africans do. as long as there in your nation they should learn the local language/s your not going to get far with English in Brazil
