New Nigerian Official Language - Wazobia? by LePhilippe(m): 10:52pm On Mar 24, 2007 |
Wouldn't it be wonderful if Nigeria had a language which everyone could speak but English. All this tribal mess will stop!! Who agrees?? |

No. Language is your identity. Nobody should give away their language. The successfuly nation/people are those that keep their Language in-tact. Nigeria should learn from Switzerland, they have four officiall Languages. The most important: education & mutual respect |

babasin:@topic.dat wud be great, at least a nigerian can feel another brotherhood/sisterhood with a fellow nigerian with from another tribe. @quote dats not gonna cause an "identity crisis". my ethiopian friend speaks 3 languages. english, amharic (there national language) and then her "tribal" language. it the midst of all she can speak english. when she doesn't want a non-ethiopian to understand her, she'll speak amharic, and if she's amonst other ethiopians and wants to speak just to her family, she can speak her tribal language. sometimes i wish we had something like dat because i was with my yoruba friend and i wanted to tell her something dat i didn't want the person next to us to hear, but it wasn't possible. sure we got pidgin but still, it wud be nice to have a common language exclusive to nigerians. |

Let's stop comparing ourselves with others. Most Nigerians born in Nigeria already know how to speak their native language and a little bit of pidgin already. |

Pidgin should have grammar and stuff and more original Pidgin words. its way to easy to b understood by the 'naked' ear. *naked ear - Non Pidgin Speakers |
