good one! I have spoken on this several times, written about communicative competence of Nigerian graduates. an average Nigerian is trilingual, yet 80% of Nigerians under 30years cannot use our indigenous languages(what we call mother tongue!).
So what is this brou hahaa about French as a 2nd official foreign language at 56 years! how did China become a major world power? through a 2nd,3rd official foreign language?
Anwuka should stop selling us this dummy!!!
Any language is vital to our global visibility, however, what we should rather implement is developing our indigenous languages and encourage our youth to be FUNCTIONALLY BILINGUAL in French or any other foreign language.
