Officially adopted, if not we all aware of Hausa as language in aso Rick, effc and other organizations

Was shocked when plenary session was held in Hausa language in 2009 at Gombe State House of Assembly

I'm yet to see those MURIC dogs on this thread.

It's a good idea but as long as English is our official language den use English sir

Is that not what he wants?

Totally in support of this..it should even be made the first official language in the state. Other tribes and states should emulate it so that those prodigal sons and daughters who don't speak indigenous language won't have any business in government.

They did it because a lot of them entered with primary school certificate and can't speak English, that's why they adopted hausas so that they can cover their goof.

This I have seen.

Let them continue

Unsurprisingly so because you certainly can’t find 5 among them that can speak passable English.

Na Hausa state na, what do you except.
Other states can follow if them like am.
Honourable court member, order sir 😂

Matters arising..,. We are getting there.. 🛣️

I can't find fault in this, let everybody elevate his indigenous language abeg

LOKOJA,ILORIN,KABBA...LOADING!!!

Our fulani brothers will be driving all the trucks coming in and out of dangote refinery.. Lekki.

Wailers can wail but insha Allah we shall get there..

Lol!

Instead Aboki will be making progress, Aboki is regressing.

I’m sure they must have a lot of illiterates in their midst which is why they deemed it necessary to lower the standards to accommodate them.

They might as well incorporate their different dialects as well.

Ndi ala😏

It's only a matter of little time all Schools in Bauchi State would adopt Hausa as official teaching language.

Bauchi assembly to adopt hausa language as mode of communication will favour me and my family

Rubbish! It can’t stand the test of time. Isn’t that against the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?

Should it be allowed?

A subtle message to the Fulani people. Fufudi the official language of the Fulani must be wiped out. Nnamdi Kanu opens their eyes.

Hmmn.

It is finished. They can’t speak English in the first place and now adopting Hausa as an official language It will preserve their language quite alright but how are they going to be integrated into other region of the country?

English is your official language, their own is Hausa. They are Hausa people and you are a slave, so there's a difference. You're not expected to understand.

A good one!!

The next approach is to raise the indigenous Hausa king over the Fulani Emir

That's OK. Let's embrace our local language.

How does adopting local language becomes lowering standards? By ur definition, You r illiterate as well

Imagine some illiterates above are hailing them as if this is not against the constitution. Is funny how people that fight for one Nigeria are the ones that is bringing law like this. You can’t eat your cake and have it. English language is the official language for Nigeria and all official duties should be conducted in English language. In Bauchi, there are many tribes and languages. It’s not only Hausa, what of Fulani speaking people or minority tribes. These is just a trample on their rights. If people are not ready to be in a nation and abide with the constitution, why on earth do you fight against referendum?

Let other regions follow suit. Our indigenous languages must thrive.

They should sha interpret in pigin language abi if you pass a law and I say ba Hausa, ba turunchi if I break the law will it be my fault.

SEE MUMU WHO DOESN'T KNOW THE MEANING OF ILLITERATE..... They think that illiterate is someone who can't speak ENGLISH Chai who do us this thing ahbeg..., pls check your dictionary for the meaning of illiterate
