The popularization of Swahili was largely due to tourism and Western exposure of African countries like Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Congo. From the Safaris, to lake Victoria, to Nairobi to Mount Kilimanjaro to Rwandan genocide all have intrigued the Western desires as well as influence perspectives for ages so it's no surprise Swahili came to the spotlight. Swahili was further popularize in movies and especially by Western companies like Disney. It also makes sense when you think about the fact that a huge number of African stereotypes that have come to describe Africans in general come from East Africa like the "African" accent, rural Africa, beautiful nature, poverty(which is find all over Africa), warlords(mainly from the Congo-Rwanda area), fast runners, and yes that includes Swahili. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying poverty or many of the things I mentioned don't occur elsewhere in Africa.I'm just saying that a lot of the stereotypes were based off of East Africa and Congo area. Also stereotypes are plainly subjective so they can be good, bad or neutral in a sense. ... For instance, In the American movie, "Concusion" that detailed the discovery of a degenerative brain disease by the Nigerian doctor, Bennett Omalu, the American actor Will Smitt, played his role. Throughout the movie, he used the stereotypical African accent which is the East African accent. He himself acknowledges this mistake. A lot of Western perception of Africa boils down to certain parts of Africa. For example, a lot more Westerners have been to Kenya, Tanzania, Egypt, and South Africa than Mali or Sudan. |

NairobiWalker:Yes I know all of those things lol. Other languages like Fon, Akan, Yoruba, and Igbo also have notable recognition in Latin America and are studied in universities across the world. Also Arabic is the most widely spoken language in Africa as well the most spoken in terms of first language in Africa with international recognition and widespread influence. Does that make Arabic the most important language in Africa? |

freshest4live: just a small reminder , India has indigenously designed, developed and operates its own nuclear submarines Brazil is developing its own nuclear submarine i hope it gives u a idea of the technology these countries have.............and what about ur country ? so dont have a OSTRICH + DODO attitude, every country small or big is worth competing with , and only those who r ignorant about their own country will only talk rubbish about other countries. development is always a work in progress..........sometimes one country will be ahead, and sometimes another country will be ahead. 1 Like |

TayserMahiri:Hahaha,wriggling lying worm.I said they went to somalia for money from alshabab then come back to bomb their motherland.At least boko is a Nigerian group but it's shameful when kenyans have to run away to somalia for terrorism training and then attack kenya.Na wa o!Somalia?For how much?And you have the nerve to mock nigerians crossing the sea and desert when your own boys are running away from hunger in kenya to somalia?SMH at your hypocrisy. |

nemesis2u:I do not see the relevance of your comment to my quote. In terms of having things indigenously designed, Nigeria is more promising than Kenya, and the Government has set 2021 as the target for the nuclear submarine due to more pressing problems. I never said we are equal to India and Brazil just yet, but in terms of developing economies we should be looking up to compete with them rather than this talk of Kenya, not because Kenyan population is small, but because the Kenyan economic rating is still far behind, and the Chinese and foreigners play more sensitive roles in Kenya on average than they do in Nigeria. |

9jakool: Arabic is mainly spoken by Arabs. Let's talk of real African languages. If we talk of non-African languages then English takes the mantle. |

9jakool: It is the MOST important. Which other African language (excluding Arabic which I don't consider African) has brought several countries together and continues to grow the way Swahili has done? Which other language has caught foreign interest as much as Swahili? Which is the most recognizable African language? 1 Like |

freshest4live: no disrespect intended with my previous post i am batting neither for nigeria nor for kenya what i want to emphasis is....... 1.look for the good in other countries and try to emulate it or even better it. every country has bad points, but that is nobodies concern except for the citizens of that country. 2.dont make sweeping statements , nobody is qualified enough to do that. the parameters involved r huge and not humanly possible to quantify and judge without prejudice. note: ur talking about comparing ( looking to compare ) Nigeria with Brazil / India (no problem with that) but the honest question u should ask yourself what good will it do when both Brazil and India r totally dissimilar with Nigeria in terms of culture , history , life style , economy , governance , Geo-politcal status , education , geography etc. u have almost nothing in common which u can extrapolate to arrive at a beneficial and importantly COMPATIBLE solution with respect to ur countries needs . but if u compare ( good points only) with African countries with whom u share many common points than u stand to benefit from each other , as a good working solution in any domain ( economy , education , governance ) effective with one African country with be easily implemented in another African country with minimum changes and near 100% effectiveness due to high compatibilty in terms of close culture , governance, similar education pattern , inter related economy ,geographical proximity, geo political similarities etc . but that does not mean u stop comparing (good points only) with other countries like Brazil china India Singapore Europe etc. the point being one must get his priorities fixed. this is a African forum so majority African guys from different African countries who will be in a good position to address each others issues easily rather than issues involving Asian/ American /European countries vis a vis African countries. on a funny note do we wear our formal clothes first and underwear later ![]() or underwear first and clothes later on. ![]() getting our priorities straight is very important in personal life as well as in national / intra national issues i apologize for any misunderstanding for me every country is worthy for doing great things but within their capabilities which is always a work in progress , importantly a happy country is a powerful country and not a giant or a midget ![]()
FYI any country looking to develop her own nuclear submarines from scratch will need approx 20-30 years to do so, if not more and approx 20 billion dollars investment over the said period of development. 1 Like |
