I can relate, we don't speak our dialect if my in-law is around us so he doesn't feel left out even if d convoy doesn't include him.
ReplyDeleteThe commissioner is not wrong. Its an office for crying out loud, a corporate environment. That's the excuse some people will use to misbehave all because 'he is my brother'
ReplyDeleteUncle Omeh go to a Yoruba man's office that has subordinate as Yoruba. Your eardrums go malfunction because of the language by all
DeleteMy office is 70% yorubas and for some reason yoruba language ha become a linguafranca in our visinity. Its the same when you are in an office that house just about 30 or 40% hausas. These two tribes speak and appreciate their language freely and are happy to teach you if you are interested.
ReplyDeleteHardly an igbo man! And to say the said office is located in Anambara state, not Abuja or Lagos. Shame on him.
GOD bless you anon.
DeleteYou have said it all
Let's be proud of language, especially my igbo brothers and sisters
Gbam!
DeleteI support Yul 💯!
GBAM! Yoruba people don't joke with their language office or not. In my office, yorubas converse in their dialect, but the Igbo will be there forming I sabi English. You hardly hear Igbo when the Igbos converse.
DeleteGod bless you for helping me write
DeleteNo Stella I don't think anything is wrong with Yul, even if there are non-Igbo with the said Commissioner, nothing stops him from communicating in Igbo or must the said guests be involved in the discussion?
ReplyDeleteI think your own mindset is wrong Stella.
In such an environment he has no business speaking igbo
DeleteIgbo language has never opened a door for me b4 even tho my name is clearly igbo. But i learned yourba as achild and i will say the yourbas have favoured me for this reason. I served in Makurdi and i once greeted a tiv man i met in an elevator in his language in the US and this man opened doors for me while a wall quickly rolled up one time i went to see a certain Head of FA to help in a job payment i had completed. My biggest mistake was that i spoke igbo to him. He was so unfriendly and hostile and refused to respond to the language.
Delete"Vicinity"
ReplyDeleteNothing is wrong in what he said. Shame on the commissioner. Because here in Lagos, Yoruba's speak their language in the office as if Yoruba language is our official language.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that they do such doesn't mean it's supposed to be so
DeleteYul, should go work in a corporate environment and learn that the means of communication is English. I have worked in an organization people are sanctioned for speaking other languages not English. Our L1 is English Language for goodness sake. Yul shame on you that was an office, it doesnt matter if its in the North, South or West. My current office is predominately Yoruba, I'm the only Igbo. They speak yoruba, i plug my ears with my pods and listen to music,when i'm called to contribute i reply politely i cant because i didn't follow the discussion from the beginning. Now to expand the business,we are going out for presentations, 97% of the Engineers can't communicate in English. There's a policy now at work, SPEAK and CONVERSE in ENGLISH. Its a struggle for them and very unfortunate. I have suggested training.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy i speak a bit of yoruba, Isoko and Igbo, I want to learn more! Yes if i see my fellow Igbos i converse in English.
Cooperate naija delta gal leave that bullshit.even in uk,the owners of the language the 2 Italians in my office communicate in their language,Yorubas are so excited to speak their language wherever they see each other and u are in naija delta speaking cooperate english.i greet u.landlord abeg travel and see.u dey naija dey speak English pass the English people themselves n u are busy talking about cooperate bullshit
DeleteYoruba will not care whether you understand or not. That why 50% of Yoruba graduate can't construct one line of English.
DeleteSame in my office. The french talk to each other in French, even in loud voices.
DeletePlease google what L1 and L2 mean as regards language. See confident rubbish
DeleteAnon 12.09/12.38 Correct me if I'm wrong, but French and Italian are recognised languages in a formal setting just like English language. One can't equate speaking them with vernacular abi? We as a country refused to allow our three major languages as means of communication in such settings.
DeleteYou show the level of your complexity, an Indian man speaks his language in Nigerian office & you are here showing your itk mentality
DeleteAnon 12:09 and 12:59. You need gallons of COCONUT OIL. L1 is a speaker's first language/Mother tongue. Happy Now? Guess No, Please we have coconut oil sellers, buy from them or engage the services of prayer warriors. When you go travel or interact with people please speak your dialect and have a conversation with them. The Italians/French doing it doesnt make it RIGHT. If they get to meet the PRESIDENT of NIGERIA, they will speak ENGLISH. Even if the understand and speak HAUSA fluently.
DeleteA CORPORATE ENVIRONMENT IN NIGERIA should speak ENGLISH. When you are involved in Trade please start speaking your Igbo or Yoruba or Hausa.... When you reach your Obi speak ENGLISH.... YUL you can menstruate under my comments. SHAME ON YOU! CRY. With your dead before arrival political career...mmmmssstteewww
My dear English is our official language. Yul shame in u for saying rubbish. That people speak their native dialect In corporate settings doesn’t make it right. U think this is Okonkwo and things fall apart. Mscheeew. Trying to be relevant.
DeleteNaija delta english ambassador, U must be kidding by thinking some of them will speak English to President of Nigeria they rather use an interpreter.mrs doing the right thing do u know in advanced countries most cooperate offices use an interpreter.even in Nigeria I didn't appreciate my mother tongue till I started travelling alot and found out that most people can't give up their mother tongue for any other language.if u feel so bitter about his political career why not come out and campaign to be the president yourself if u feel so cool,.am pretty sure he speaks better English than u
DeleteNothing is wrong with Yul Edochie mindset. His points are valid.
ReplyDeleteSo, because he is a commissioner, no body is allowed to speak their dialect in his office again? The commissioner is the one with the wrong mindset.
NO Stella I dont agree with you, nothing is wrong with YUL. It is only an igbo man that will do that, no Yoruba or Hausa man will tell his brother that you cant speak our language in my office None.
ReplyDeleteI am working with an Hausa man, but one of my Md is Igbo, but you wont here that man speak Igbo to me or other Igbo stafffs, meanwhile our OGA(the hausa man) is always mimicking him that, why dont you speak igbo to your people abi you no sabi speak your language ni, so imagine that.
.... meanwhile our OGA (the hausa man) is always TAUNTING him,
DeleteNot “MIMICKING” him....
Note the two words
Maybe anonymous meant to say "Mocking"
DeleteIt could be Mimick. ITK anonymous 12:22. What if the oga was mimicking his English.
DeleteMy office is govt. Arabic and English is the official language
ReplyDeleteNothing is wrong with Yul Edochie!!
ReplyDeleteOur indigenous language is our heritage.
We igbo's always like to speak in English language unlike the Yourubas that will always communicate with their fellow tribe in their indigenous language.
You will be in the midst of Yoruba people, that have already crossed our English region into the in-depth of their language.
I support You Ecochie 💯
*Yul
ReplyDeleteThat was so rude of the commissioner. If he doesn't speak the language it would be a different case. I know people will say but it's an office and you have to be professional, in the U.S the official language is English and they're pushing to make Spanish a second official language, but if you go to any office even if it's the presidents office sef and you speak Spanish, French, German,Russia, Arabic, Yoruba, igbo, Hausa, mandarin, or even Burmese they'll entertain the conversation and get an interpreter. Nigerians need to do better we carry oyibo language for head whereas we are a multilingual country, every language spoken in Nigeria should be accepted as a formal means of communication there should be no discriminations whatsoever. There's something about us and this English language thing honestly, westerners wish they can speak another language and they even compensate people who do, for example at my job i get like $200 more than those in my pay grade because I am proficient in igbo, I enlisted in 2013 and till date I haven't done even one translation for anyone but they still compensate me for it.
ReplyDeleteNote: There's no official language in USA
DeleteAnon 13:01 what you said might be true to an extent, but when one goes for the naturalization interview why is it insisted that he or she has to speak and write the English language to pass the test, exception of the older folks? Enlighten me more if I'm wrong cos I have been so many times before. Thanks
DeleteIt Yoruba people I trust. Be in Yoruba land and not know how to speak their language, you are on your own. When I was serving see them holding meeting in Yoruba n not care whether you're there, my friend will be interpreting for me.
ReplyDeleteMy compound nko well learned people oh, I lived in nnpc quarters, we had Dr's, Engr, pharmacist in one compound n all well traveled but any discussion about the compound, meeting like they use Yoruba even when I'm standing there, I will just quietly walk inside the house. Office nko Good morning ma. Oh ekaro. Some will continue in Yoruba. I ran back immediately after service kia
Damn!🤣🤣🤣 didn't know we are bad like this o.
Delete13.28 una terrible pass bad
DeleteAkwa Ibom is the worst, everyone forming English. If you use our dialect to communicate then you're local then. Go to uniuyo and see girls forming English. You can never see two Akwa Ibom people speaking their dialect, igbo do try oh, as in the do try. Come to Akwa Ibom n see something. You will see your colleague next you start blowing dialect things n he/she answers in English. Even a local saloon. It English they will use. Kia I stayed in Yoruba land n Hausa land, you dey speak English to them, when you finish answer yourself.
ReplyDeleteNot true!!! Which english? That akwacross english that often sounds like a mixture of ibibio and efik dialect? Or the first class pidgin english they cant give up for the world? Abeggy....
DeleteThank you Yul my brother. Don't mind the commissioner. Ofu oyibo now o gbaa oso. if you check well now, you will find out he has F9 in English. Ndi osu asu ede ede
ReplyDeleteLMAO 😀😁😀 @ your comment. I bu ezigbote nwafo igbo
DeleteStella, you're wrong. Yes, English is the official language of the country but why should anyone bring the roof down when spoken to in his dialect? That's slave mentality
ReplyDeleteStella nothing is wrong with Yul
ReplyDeleteStella nothing is wrong with Yul. His points are valid.
ReplyDeleteYul is right.Igbos are just like that.I don't even know what to call it.Abi na formings!I can vividly remember my stay in Abuja during my Internship and service year.In my department,my Oga was a Yoruba but he speaks Hausa and Yoruba very fluently to anyone who understands the two languages respectively.My colleagues were mostly from north,and they speak hausa in the office without any shame.But the Igbos in the ministry will be forming,knowing fully that you're Igbo too.You will speak Igbo to him or her,and she will pretend like she didn't hear you.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why one would be ashame of his/her local dialect.Guys its your pride abeg.
You will see a Yoruba or Hausa born and brought outside the country and yet they speak their languages respectively.But Igbos na only English dem dey teach their kids,even those in Nigeria too.Go to Lagos,Ph,Enugu and Abuja,Igbos there communicate with their kids only with English.Biafra Indeed!
Ezigbote Biafra indeed!
DeleteNow I see the reason why nigeria cant move forward. *hiss* Giant tower of babel... make una continue campaign for language barrier. As for me - English in my office or gerrout.
ReplyDeleteSomeone will just see me- nne, kedu? Ogini bu fio fio fio. Because you are so soaked in your language that you dont even have manners to ask if the person is igbo or not. You want to impose it on them. Rabbesh!
Lolz
DeleteYul is correct ,even in Lagos, Yoruba language is official language,same to commissioner.
