murmee: We are saying the same thing. If my children speak 10 languages fine. All I want is for these 10 languages to put food on the table. I don't want them to waste valuable time learning a language that its only benefit is to gossip with their mother when a visitor is in the house. 1 Like |

DocHMD: As for the mud house,, though I don't lived in osogbo,,, What makes some of your igbo states better than some of Yoruba states is Money from petroleum and Money ritual... as for language... it's hardly you find Yoruba speaking igbo... it's vice versa,,, even some igbos speak Yoruba better than some Yoruba |

Sammy07: So you really believe money ritual can make a state develop? with the way you yorubas hunt human heads with reckless abandon on per second billing, shouldn't you be more developed than America and Britain since money rituals 'develop cities'? ![]() Afonjas daft no be small. ![]() 1 Like

Chidizman: The person you quoted may be generalising but you are certainly doing the same. I'm one of those whose name begin with Olu and I wouldn't trade that name for anything. As a matter of fact, I take offence when anyone calls me by my religion-inspired name. |

Sammy07:educated hausas add english to their language as well. Yorubas add english in their conversation more than Igbos. Aside most traditional nollywood movies which are Igbo in culture their are many nollywood movies which are complete Igbo. Watch African magic Igbo. I will begin to dismantle lies here 'cos there are turning into propaganda. |

mikolo80:sure, being able to communicate in the language like the Asians and North Americans is different, but we nigerians have killed and are still killing our local dialects for English language, the inferiority is so great that someone who cannot speak English properly is seen as uneducated as if being able to speak English language fluently is correlated with being literate |
