ENDTIMEgist: They are actually the type of people I signed up Nairaland account for. I signed up for this forum to be able to see whether I could help many reset their minds from the western world view imposed on us via slavery. But, it's not easy as you can see. |

Onyochejohn: you are right but let me add this .....afonja is more than a local warrior but like the General of the Yoruba army who revolted against the alafin of Oyo and this broke into a great war. For him to get upper hand in the battle against Oyo empire backed by other Yoruba states, he had to employ a fulani man popularly called Alimi and his soldiers who came down to ilorin from the North. However after the battle against the Yorubas, Alimi and his soldiers more stronger and skillful took over the village of ilorin, taught the people Islamic ways, built mosque and in short, took over the village of ilorin. The Ilorin-Yorubas tried hard to chase them back but couldn't so the fulani successfully took over ilorin and became the ruling power as at then.... Afonja was killed in one of the war against the fulani |

I often have this argument with my WhatsApp friends from other African countries mostly Ghana,South Africa and Zimbabwe. They make so much fun of Nigerian English eh, it disgusts me.. English was never our mother's tongue,it was forced down on us by the colonial masters and its such a shame that some African countries (Ghanaians in particular) like bragging about how good they are at speaking English. I wonder what happened to their mothers tongue. We gotta be proud of our heritage just the same way the whites men are proud of theirs.. let's save our culture!! |
Re: Which African Country Speaks The Best English? by Danielnino00(m): 12:10pm On Feb 25, 2017 |
notmyrealmonika: In summary, the "Afonja" is used to make mockery of the Yoruba races because he lost one of the most important Yoruba town to the Fulani for his own greed |

Danielnino00: your opinion tho.... ilorin is still a Yoruba major town and the activities of the fulani has been relegated to the background... Ilorin is never lost and it is still very much part of the Yoruba major town |

musicwriter:English remain our official language. Nobody goes for a job interview and communicate in his native language. As a government official you can only be considered fluent/sound if you can express yourself smoothly in English. Your native Language is important when you want to execute plans but officially English remain the one. I've never heard francophones complain about French so why do we have bias about English being our official Language? Our native Languages cannot go into extinction as far as our tribes still exist. |

The African culture is richer and better than the western culture. but at a time we lost it due to our inability to be united against a common enemy. |

Re: Which African Country Speaks The Best English? by musicwriter(m): 12:43pm On Feb 25, 2017 |
eni4real: I have said severally here that learning English shouldn't mean inability to master our own native languages as is the case today. And no, languages do go extinct if a people don't speak their language for any reason. Popular extinct language is Latin. But, during the reign of the Roman Empire from 27 BC up to about 177 AD, Latin was spoken from the Mediterranean region up to almost entire western Europe. See list of extinct languages at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_extinct_languages_of_Europe See list of endangered languages at https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2011/apr/15/language-extinct-endangered |
