favour32:The issue here is that English is a language that is derived from many other European languages including French, Latin and Greek. In colonial times, The British that came to Nigeria used to teach Latin in Missionary schools. You understand Latin, you under English better and you have no problems like this. But with time, Nigerians have dissociated themselves from European culture and just isolated English alone. And hence everybody is now confused. You took language and discarded its roots. Hence all the headaches and disbeliefs. |
