It is obvious that current social and economic elements favour English in current global affairs. However is important to emphasize the value of multilingualism, like speaking both English and other international languages including Nigerian languages. This should be encouraged, especially by Nigerian parents. This is important for preserving our wonderful cultural heritages. Some ways to encourage this include:
Taking Pride in Speaking your Nigerian Language: Be proud to speak your native language, even when abroad.
Consistent Use at Home: Parents should actively speak their native language with their children during daily interactions, meals, and playtime.
Nigerian Music: Play Nigerian music and encourage children to learn traditional songs.
Digital Content: Content creators should be encouraged to create and share digital content in Nigerian languages.
Promote Language in Public Spaces: Encourage the use of Nigerian languages in local businesses and public announcements.
Focus on passing the language to younger generations: Encourage interaction between elders and young people, for example, let your children to speak to the Grandparents, Aunties and Uncles in native language.
A screenshot of Johns Hopkins customer services in Igbo Asusu and Ede Yoruba is attached as one example that Nigerian Languages have some levels of international recognition.

Please how is this part of the free education this government promised?

Having read and listened to many materials on success, I have come to discover a fundamental truth about success. The truth? Have a goal OR have goals- that is it. What is your goal in life? Who do you want to become? What do you want to own, what do you want to have? Imagine a football field/match without goal posts. That is exactly what a life not dedicated to the passionate achievement of a goal looks like. When you achieve a set goal, you have succeeded. Why not set goals to get that skill you think will enhance your financial independence, set goals to start that business, start that NGO that will make the world a better place, why not set goals to get that degree, release that single, write that book?. PMB’s goal in the last decade was to lead Nigeria- he has succeeded; now we can say he is successful. “The world make way for the man who knows where he is going”- Ralph Waldo Emerson. Set that goal, pursue it and when you achieve it, you will be celebrated—even on Nairaland.

For Reverend gentlemen (tomorrow's Bishops and Arch Bishops) and Pastors - and you know how many of them we have in Nigeria today- Religious studies, History, Philosophy and Humanities are very relevant for them, they should spend money and time on them, I tell you.

This is very cool
