 It Is Sad We Relegate Our Local Languages With Our Own Hands - Odumeje


Because of my limited proficiency in English, some people label me as illiterate. It is disheartening that Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo speakers, who have their own languages, consider someone illiterate simply because he cannot speak English.


From my perspective, there are no educated person in Nigeria. How can you claim to be educated when you lack basic necessities such as clean water, well-maintained roads, and reliable electricity? 


In countries with educated populations, they have the ability to solve their own problems. However, here in Nigeria, being able to speak English fluently and possessing a certificate obtained through monetary means does not equate to true education.


Europeans do not possess vast oil reserves like we do, yet their educated citizens are able to manufacture electric cars. As we boast about our education, we fail to address any of our pressing issues.

The day I truly believe that there are educated people in Nigeria is the day we begin actively solving our problems.


Despite your education, you are unable to resolve the issues of insecurity, poor road conditions, and numerous other challenges plaguing our nation. Travel to places like Dubai, Europe, and America, and you will witness how educated people live and conduct themselves.
