Good morning guys..I hope you had a nice night. Today we will be talking about the rate or the prestige given to English in Nigeria
Ever since the colonialism in Nigeria. English has taken a turn and has been the most prestigious language in the country,it is used both as a foreign language, official language and mostly as the mother tongue of many Nigerians.
#Effect
One of the effect of this is that most of the indigenous Nigerian language has gone into extinction and are not recognize and giving way to our culture been jeopardize
Another effect of English in Nigerian is that most Nigeria parents don't not want their children speaking indigenous Nigerian language. Those children on getting to the outside do not know how to interact with their peers
The English language is also given more prestige in the educational setting where by student are sometimes flogged for not been able to speak it or sometimes are asked to pay for not been able to speak the language . This can cause most students not to be able to perform or contribute to the class activity
Most students don't like this and sometimes develop hatred for the teacher who beats them for not speaking the English language
#way out
The most important way out is that both the English language and indigenous Nigerian language should be used to reach in the educational setting.
Also parents should be encouraged to teach both languages and should not discriminate any language
We hope and pray for the possible way out.
