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.

A REVIEW OF DENJA ABDULLAH’S PLAY DEATH AND THE KING’S GREY HAIR - By Olaniyi Abdulwaheed

Recession - by Ogunyomi Israel Abidemi

Change!          We grabbed the concept Without probing its content; Hence the rooster barks at night And the dog crows in the dawn. The cat sprouts horns And the bull grows paws. The dribblers of the nation Are a genuine evil genius, Cunning enough to make the green red; Witty enough to carve a night Out of the chest of a bare day. Barns and banks, all are red, Making the earth hotter than hell. Ah! This pertinacious chart Of recession behooves the imagination of humanity, Turning the father his family's foe - The former thundering tumultuously Like disaster over every grain of rice His soles discover on the kitchen's floor - Including those labelled wastes, Kept in stock to stuff the bin's bowel.
