Yureyes: Oga what the FG has done is what is obtainable in every developed country elsewhere. If you are a Yoruba man and you school in Malaysia, you will be taught Malay. The government of Malaysia have no business teaching you Yoruba. In the same vain if you are in Ile Ife, whether you are Yoruba or not, you will be taught in Yoruba. This applies everywhere in Nigeria 3 Likes |

FreeStuffsNG: India has a single language (Hindi) that cuts across and is their second official language with English. Nigeria does not have such. Trying to restrict to three major languages of Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo is already a problem not to talk of when other languages are considered. The comparison to India isn't exactly proper. 2 Likes |

Do understand that English is Not our language and it can never be. English belongs to White people from England, USA Canada etc.. We are african and have our on tribe/ language here in Nigeria.. A Yoruba man can never become an English man, or Irish or welsh.. Same as an English man can never be a Yoruba man.. All other developed and advanced country use their own language to teach, communicate and as an official language.( such as Germany, Japan, china, etc) It’s still a form of colonisation to be using your colonial masters language.. I hope the policy will be extended towards secondary and tertiary institutions as well as work place.. it will be great for our country.. yemmit90: 3 Likes |

gaddafe: Lol. It doesn’t make any sense. Malay is the official language in Malaysia. It makes sense to learn Malay in Malaysia. English is the official language in Nigeria. Make Hausa the official language in Nigeria and we’ll all learn Hausa. You can’t tell me to learn a language because it’s someone else’s mother tongue. If that language is the official language used by the government and other institutions, then it makes sense to learn it. 2 Likes |

cocolacec: By citing those examples, it is obvious you don't consider "multi- ethnics" nature of Nigeria. About 90% of those countries you mentioned spoke common languages or have almost 100% common social life and cultural values. The same can't be say about Nigeria. Besides, there is different between formal and informal education. A wise parent or society teaches their citizens informal education in their mother tongue, while former learning can be carry out in various capacities depending on acceptable standard. And contrary to your opinion, Chinese, Germans, Indians and other non speaking English countries are not better than well fluent English speakers in Nigeria let alone those staying abroad. Kids of these days are very fluent in English because we introduced it to them early especially pupils in private primary schools. Mother tongue as teaching instruction can only work effectively in a Mono- ethnic nation. 1 Like |

Yureyes: Thanks for your write up and the perspective. Those natives you mention are still fighting for their rights to be recognized and for their language to be recognized. To think that britain a notorious colonizer is always pretending to be in nigeria as a civilized big brother championing democracy is concerning. The western european is a savage in need of native american and african civilization. |

cocolacec:Is Nigeria the only country of many nations? How do you acknowledge Nigeria is a country of many nations and yet do not want to let the nations independent. My point still remains, you can’t say Nigeria’s official language is English and still force my child to learn a regional language that’s irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. If I learn Yoruba because I live in the west, I’ll still need English to communicate with someone who lives the North or East. If Yoruba is the official language, then we’ll learn it because the man from the North, East or South will have to learn the official language. English is the official language. If an indigenous language was the official one, that’s when it makes sense to use it as means of instruction. I’d rather my child learn the official language rather than a regional one because a government official felt that’s the right thing to do. Return to regional government has nothing to do with using local language as main method of instruction. What happens to the region where they have multiple languages? Broken into small regions? 2 Likes |

BigBashiru: Different from what I am saying. My point is, the main method of instruction in schools should be the county’s official language. Not a regional language. If we so hate the colonizers, then ditch their language and make yours the official language but we can’t because there are several tribes in the country. Compelling people learn a regional language when the official or national language is something else doesn’t make any sense. 1 Like |

yemmit90:. The colonial lumped us together and forced English on us, but if you go over to Europe you will hardly get to see a nation with more than 3 languages and if you see the language of communication in any community is the immediate mother tongue of such community English can be use as must for federal service while each state can make it optional |
