10:18Now PlayingNigeria is possibly Africa’s most linguistically diverse nation, home to over 500 living languages. However, the United Nations warns that more than half of these languages could vanish by the end of the century if no action is taken. This would result in the loss of cultures, histories, and indigenous knowledge systems.
After 65 years of independence and many challenges, like the government introducing Mandarin in schools. Nigerians are not asking an important question: What does it mean to be independent if people lose their own languages?
This story shows indigenous languages not as outdated traditions, but as valuable tools for improving education, building unity, and boosting global influence.
