TayserMahiri:It's thesame with the Indians, the official language is English, you do not expect us to have a single indigenous language, given the fact that we speak over 500 languages. But l agree, it is crazy fighting over religion especially foreign ones. |

freshest4live: See, it was about Africa I dont know why you went to India to justify your case. We Kenyans boast of Swahili as both a national and official language. More people speak Swahili than English. In the language aspect alone, we are more African than you are, considering those of you from different tribes have to converse in English (or pidgin, its corrupted version). 1 Like |

Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by freshest4live: 11:38am On Jun 17, 2017 |
TayserMahiri:Lol, we cannot have a unified official language, because there are many languages from separate empires and cultures in pre colonial times. The pidgin example is the perfect way of being modern in our own way. Pidgin is a mixture of Yoruba, Hausa, lgbo,slangs and the English language itself, and it's more commonly spoken than English. So from the above you can see that having English as official language does not stop us from preserving our languages subtly even in thesame English. If you go to the south west, Yoruba is widely spoken, in the south east it is Igbo, in the north Hausa, but if you come to my city warri, it is pidgin and English. The reason is that both urhobo, itsekiri, and ljaw(three different tribes) can lay claim to Warri, hence its' difficult for the largest tribe in Warri(urhobo) to make it standard across the city. |

TayserMahiri: We speak english alongside our own languages. Christianity is not a product of europeans, they obtainned it from the middle-easterners and same middle-easterners today have also adopted western education and civilization to an extent (exchange of influences n cultures). Holly I am not saying that we are/should be 100% free from western influences. We just should not copy everything that they do and completely abandon our own ways. |

TayserMahiri: Nigeria is more complex and bigger demographically than Kenya is. Apparently, not until recently, swahili was not an official language in Kenya. ****Nigeria is an amalgamation of people of entirely different n unrelated histories, cultures n societies. Typically unlike Kenya that is predominantly Bantu. Now imagine if the entire east africa (including Horn africans) were one country. What would have been the official african language? |

TayserMahiri: Holly U n mtis r being crazily hillarious n lousy. Goodluck's full name was Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan. ****yaaaah, some Nigerians love western names a lot buh not all. It's mostly some of the people of the Niger-delta who had a long contact with Europeans since the 16th century or thereabout. And those who were descendants of freed slaves n some few others. A lot of Kenyans also answer crazy western names from the names of the ladies Nairobiwalker was posting.... e.g Corazon Kwamboka (Corazon is a spanish name), how did that come about? |

Nowenuse:In as much as I agree with your points, I would advice you tone down your use of words and mode of approach, let's not turn here to the average bashing threads on NL... Let's just say he is different from the rest, religion is the major tool which their elites use in blindfolding them, imagine using money for capital developments for building mosques, reason they hate Sanisu the Emir of Kano for continuously telling them the truth. |

genieluv: Kenya is Bantu + Cushitic + Nilotic. If the whole Eastern Africa were one country we would speak Swahili. Southern Somalia are already speaking it and soon Ethiopia would begin considering they've began to open up their economy. |

genieluv: Most Kenyans (Christians) have one Western name and two African ones. We don't go around telling other Africans to stop being Western though because we know we too have westernized to some degree. |

freshest4live: You guys with excuses! There is no reason you cannot have a unifying African language. Swahili was not spoken in the kenyan hinterland but the first government made a very conscious and deliberate effort to promote it as a unifying African language. |

Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by freshest4live: 1:13pm On Jun 17, 2017 |
TayserMahiri:That's cool, l don't know about Kenya, but we Nigerians are just too stubborn, hence it would be difficult for a Government to introduce a common language like they easily did in Kenya, not impossible but difficult and would require a wise and trusted leader. Take the North and parts of the middle belt, they are so diverse but Hausa is now commonly spoken, but it would be difficult for Hausa to penetrate other areas same way, even if they migrate here in numbers. So the leader may achieve this in the North and middle belt for example but may find it difficult in the south east and vice versa. |

genieluv: Even untill recently, Swahili was still more widely spoken than English. You are trying to make it sound like Kenya is a homogenous society. We have all major groups in kenya and were it not for authorities promoting Swahili, we would not be as simple as you make it sound. As someone told you, even if the whole of the east africa and the horn was Kenya, we would still speak swahili |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Nobody: 1:16pm On Jun 17, 2017 |
genieluv: In Kenya, with two English names you would find it hard to ascend to presidency. Goodluck would never have been president in Kenya unless he promoted his other african names and discarded the european ones. Corazon is just one name, she has other two African. |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Nobody: 1:20pm On Jun 17, 2017 |
NairobiWalker:Brother, I don't think Ethiopians will agree to use Swahili as the official or de facto language, when eastern Africans become one country. Amharegn/Amharic is too special to us. Even if Ethiopia is home to 80 diverse and unique ethnic groups, Ethiopia indirectly mostly is Amhara culture. 1 Like |

nivlark254: As in? Goodluck Jonathan is former Nigerian president. My point was that those who aspire to take the presidency do not even mention their English names here. Kenyans only knew him as Mwai Kibaki. Same with Uhuru Kenyatta, Toroitich Arap Moi, Jomo Kenyatta and Raila Odinga. |
