TELL HIS EXCELLENCY - BY John Chizoba Vincent

When you get to Aso Rock Help me inform his Excellency that I do not dislike him so much, just four   things he  made made me hate him: His change has change my boxers It made me change the Green Boxers   that Maria bought for me and now put on   the Black dusty one abandoned many years ago. His policies has taken all the yams in my   barns and left the place empty with scars To remind me of when I was who I was In the past of my past with a future of it. He allowed hidden hands the right to build   massive barns in a far land like a proud   possessors of big bags yet they have nothing but revival of pains hidden in people' pride. Tell him to bring back our corruption and   Take back his change that has looted us   We can return all his polished tall brooms Let him leave us to perish more in our doom.   (C) John Chizoba Vincent       Voice Of Vincent 2016

Is the English Language a Curse or Blessing to Nigeria? by Olaniyi Abdulwaheed

Image
English the language of the colonial masters in Nigeria. Colonial masters bequeathed English to Nigeria as part of the ways of making Nigerians adopt their culture. Since language is part of the culture and culture is part of the language, Nigerians overwhelmingly adopted British culture and viewed it as the best gaze in the mirror. The prestige attached to British culture cannot be confiscated in English, the British language. However, many scholars with different opinions have argued on the existence of the English Language, whether it is a curse or blessing for the country. Some argued that, embracing English language is a curse to Nigeria, whereas some believe that it a force of blessing for the nation.  The growth of the English language in Nigeria can be traced to the heterogeneous nature of Nigerian society. Nigeria is a country with many languages with at least of about 400 languages. Most of these languages are not mutually intelligible, that is, speakers of one la...
