A bit about culture

English is a colloquial language that continued to be the official language after independence in virtually all African countries that were under British rule. In some cases it was retained to avoid ethnic tensions. But in all cases it was retained because its prestige and association with power.
In contrast, the vernaculars were viewed as backward and inferior and so were not developed. Students were made to feel ashamed of their mother tongue and punished for speaking it.
In Kenya, for example, speaking in vernacular was forbidden and sanctioned in schools. One popular method of punishment was to make pupils carry around a skull of some dead animal the whole day as a way for embarrassing the pupil who dared speak in his mother tongue.
Today, it is difficult to use indigenous languages because they have not development been codified and standardised. Hence, there is a shortage of teaching materials and trained teachers in the vernaculars. And this has often been used as an excuse for not adopting the vernaculars in the schools.

(The Guardian Weekly, August 2003)

This text shows a big error. The English can’t be considered the only language in the world. The diversity is the secret between the languages. Each language has your value, your culture and we must preserve all.

“Texts play an important role in our culture; they record and immortalize its events and evolution. Writers express and evaluate our values and social mechanisms. Literature and literacy make democracy bloom. Moreover, a good text can both inform and entertain its readers. The most beautiful texts can even offer us a rare aesthetic delight.”
- Harper Lee -
