Your blog makes me think. If I remember it right, someone also published a blog here on Home Edders with a similar subject matter. On the said blog the author emphasizes the importance of the mother tongue being taught to kids. I am curious and concerned at the same time as to why some families (like you are saying) that they prefer to teach their kids Queens English instead of their mother tongue. In our country, most of the kids speak our national language (or mother tongue) at home and at the national level which is very patriotic if you ask me and only speak English when needed. I am afraid that your mother tongue will lose its importance in the long run.

In Africa, we prefer to be like others instead of cultivating our culture. I wonder how the next generation will when they don't understand their mother tongue.
Thanks for stopping by. That's the situation of Nigerian culture.
You're welcome, I too am wondering how the next generation will become if they don't understand their mother tongue.
