1.Not enough nursery schools up North. Kids are just rushed into Primary one sans nursery shcool. Nursery school is where you learn the rudiments of English.... 2.Northern schools have a high student to teacher ratio. A TV crew once visited a school a rural area. There were 400 students in two classrooms and 3 teachers. Not enough teachers, not enough time to learn English 3.In the South, english is used on a daily basis. 4.I blame the colonialists. They also kind of discouraged Western education for a while up North, which contributed more to the education gap. Also, indirect rule was a thing in the North..meaning that English was not necessary for administrative purposes....until close to independence. In the South,. English was more necessary due to rule being more direct. 5.Hausa is a widely used language across the West African continent. It is what is called a trade language...kind of playing the role Greek used to play in large areas of the middle east for centuries, for example. One can travel across wide swathes of West Africa without using French or English...just Hausa. 6.Lack of interest in Western education.(Boko did not come from the sea). The Colonialsits too also played their part by restricting establishment of mission schools in Muslim areas. 7.Let's be honest, poor teaching of the English language. To learn any language effectively, you got to immerse the kid in that language for hours. English is not taught well in many schools in Nigeria...and it gets worse up North. 8 English in itself is a foreign language. The harsh truth is that many kids learn better when taught in their native tongue, but for the purposes of national integration(and better interaction with the wider world), we have to teach our kids in a foreign language which most of us struggle to learn, Hausas included. 36 Likes |

let me start by quoting Thomas Fasokun he said "we all know that literacy has been internationally recognised both as a human right in itself and as a crucial instrument for the pursuit of other rights" ... in the north, there are two predominant literacy, Arabic education and hausa languages. The little northern kids has early access to the former and acquire the knowledge easily since it is a precursor to their morals and religion. So you can't much blame a kid in primary/secondary schools in the north who is unable to speak fluent English compared to the southern kids who's primary school students even speak better English than the teachers who taught them. if all things were perfectly balanced, people wouldn't demonize a Western Education. We would be learning Greek, English, Arabic Yoruba Hausa and Igbo The child was told to speak in hausa so that he would be able to explain himself properly to avoid speaking in tongues .

I am a Yoruba Man, but let's be honest here. I will speak in regards to the SW, our colonial master did not They let us believe English is superior to our local dialect and we believed it dogmatically. They looted out resources, looted our brain and made us believe we are superior to others by losing our core identity, so in order not to look foolish alone we crucify those who kept theirs. Who made us believe speaking English equals to being educated, our brothers in the east with little academics education excell excellently in businesses and the academically elites are making waves globally. They their, they speak English, while people are making difference, contributing to humanity. Finally those people who doesn't speak English determines the destiny of this country, and they control you and I who speaks English with our degree. 4 Likes 1 Share |
