Achebe was asked whether he thought in Igbo or English; the answer was obvious. Anyone who reads his books quickly realizes that Achebe is "speaking Igbo in English". We often do the same, unconsciously - like whenever we "hear the smell".

Loss of a language is loss of an entire civilization. He who does not speak his language erases his own civilization.

This is also why I have dedicated my effort for 3 years now to teaching Igbo Language on http://Verbling.com and Instagram @igbogebi.

Say it louder to those who don't see the value of all our languages, be they spoken by tens of millions or just tens of thousands. We can't take pride in the Nok civilization yet attach little importance in the languages of Southern Kaduna.

True. This is why I've decided to invite an Igbo friend to practically speak to my students on "Things Fall Apart" in relation to African studies. Context matters, and language is crucial to enhancing that.

I think this tweet right here is worth ti be made a portrait.... "it's an entire system of thinking" maybe this is the reason we are having unequally yoked Igbo Youths now unlike during Achebe's days where a young Igbo man envied for his sharp mindset, now we have young men..

That has lost that "system of thinking" simply because they can't communicate in Igbo language, they can use the Proverbs of their fathers, Ndi "my mama say I be Igbo". This just gave me a new view about the change in thoughts among some young people now.

Studying English composition one, my teacher was Dr. Russel Fountain. His first objective was to make us (those who spoke English as a 2nd language) begin to think in the English language!
