Hausa, Yoruba & Igbo – Which Of These Tribes Neglect Speaking Their Native Language To Their Kids?

By

Nigeria is the most populous, popular and powerful country in Africa and it well blessed with resources and wonderful people like you and me 😀.

We have thousands of tribe and over 500 languages in the country and the major language we all know right from basic are Hausa, Igbo and the most popular language in Africa ‘Yoruba‘.

Our indigenous languages have become endangered and would probably go into extinction if nothing is done to save the situation.

The young people who are supposed to champion the preservation of the indigenous languages are mostly not in tune with their native dialects.

The English language has become the language in many homes to the detriment of the indigenous language. In primary school, I remember being told not to speak Yoruba or risk paying a fine or getting whipped.

I also remember when I went to meet my aunty in Lagos I tried to watch my favorite DSTV channel ‘Africa Magic’, my aunty beg me not to, because of his Children. She does want them to learn our local language and this is very common among Lagosians.

Today, someone with an undergraduate degree in Yoruba or Igbo is considered a failure or a misfit because our society believes those who have undergraduate degrees in local languages were not smart enough to study ‘better courses’.

The rate at which Africans are abandoning their indigenous languages for foreign languages is way too much and something need to be done about it Asap.

Now, the question is 👇🏽

ISRO shortlists 15 firms for transfer of EV battery tech This move could make EVs cheaper, since imported Li ion batteries constitute the big expense factor of EVs. Isro has shortlisted 15 firms to transfer the manufacturing technology of lithium-ion (Li ion) batteries for electric vehicles (EV). This move could make EVs cheaper, since imported Li ion batteries constitute the big expense factor of EVs. “We have communicated to the shortlisted firms that they will have to give a one-time fee of `1 crore. We have avoided firms with exposure to foreign equity in identifying the qualifying industrial houses or start-ups,” S Somanath, director, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), the rocket sciences node of ISRO, told FE. “The final move will depend on their response,” he said, declining to name the firms.

Sóller hike followed by a healthy vegan lunch

By
We got a group of friends together (of various ages and fitness levels) to hike around the hills surrounding the Mallorcan town of Sóller, in the northwest of the island. There are many quite easy trails but usually, it involves a bit of hiking up and downhill. We began our walk at the first roundabout after the tunnel and climbed for about 25 minutes uphill after that it was reasonably flat for the next hour or so. The final part was decent into the town of Sóller where we had booked a private vegan brunch for our group. Barbara and Martjin opened Ecocirer in March 2018 as a vegan hotel with 6 bedrooms in the town of Sóller. It is the ideal accommodation for a family celebration if you would like to enjoy healthy vegan food with plenty of activities to get you out into the beautiful nature surrounding the picturesque town. The expe...
