Ronu people will still wail telling you how igbo youths don't like Igbo language. Inside they will be wishing that this wonderful man is a Yoruba man that will help them translate their own

An Igbo linguist has begun translating a physics textbook into the Igbo language.

The man, Maazi Ogbonnaya Okoro, stated on social media that the work would be completed in 2024.

He stated that once he finished translating physics into Igbo, he would start working on chemistry and biology.

He wrote:

“By 2024, I should be done translating Physics textbook into the Igbo Language. Once I am done with Physics, I will go over to Chemistry, Biology and other STEM subjects.”

In a separate post made in 2021, the scholar said he had done other major works in the Igbo language.

His words:

“Now I have over 25 published books in Igbo and total of 58 published and unpublished manuscripts in Igbo Language. Translated the BBC guidelines in Igbo before the launching of BBC Igbo Service; translated Igbo for the UNESCO.”

Wonderful

Igbo language is going into extinction next 50yrs since 1967 today we are still speaking Igbo and Igbo Physics text book on the way maybe Reno de mad man should focus on their own Culture.

modernWays:
Lolz, wasted effort, he should have rather done that in pigin because an average Igbo kid don't like speaking their language, let alone reading it in textbook.

Igbos, especially those living outside South East should try to preserve their language by speaking it to their children.

Reno has configured your brain, sorry you need brain surgery

Allow us to bother about that. Is not like u like us. U are only saying this because your funny speaking Yoruba language is not the one this handsome man is translating. This one pained you 😂😂😂

Ikennaford:
Nonsense ,that shit can never be understood ,cos igbo language no get all words in English ,,

We already know your tribe, 2moro now someone from your tribe will like to imitate him and you people will come here and say Yoruba started first.

This is a great one and should be encouraged

Beautiful!

We should do this in the major Nigerian languages. A Muslim brother told me in the States that he did not really understand Islam until he came to Chicago. He said they taught him Islamic teachings in Arabic, a language in which he and many others are mostly illiterate.

It was not until he came to America where he found and began to read the English Koran that his eyes were opened, and he became educated to the knowledge of Islam that had been distorted by Nigerian Islamic scholars using a language he was illiterate in, Arabic.

This is the state of our education in Nigeria today. Anyone who has paid attention will find out that all achieving and inventing societies study the 4 major subjects, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics, in their mother tongue. The Germans, the French, the British, the Chinese, the Japanese, etc.

We must indigenize our knowledge base to grow.

This is good

Nigeria get brain sha. Now our criminals politicians destroy our image

nairalandankrah:


It is a welcome effort... Igbos love their language.

just ignore d cretin

Beremx:
Very good one Sir.

But I have always disliked physics in school and the only subject I had a Pass in my WAEC result.
I hope mathematics and chemistry s translated too because those are best subjects.

Igbo Amaka.
Ndi iro ajoka

Igbo amaka indeed

The truth is, most Igbos will struggle to understand the physics in Igbo. Some can't even read the Igbo language properly talk more of reading and understanding a physics text book written in Igbo. The language has to be assimilated first before it could be used in teaching. English language has done incalculable damage to most Nigerian native languages. It has to start from families, through the kindergarten and primary schools. Native languages should be used to teach pupils.

Na only u won translate all black man other go translate chemistry

Why are u bringing yoruba to this equation. For your information, we yoruba value our language and there is no home in yoruba land that their children cannot speak yoruba. No matter how rich and educated u are, the first assignment is to teach ur children yoruba. Kindly focus on ur ethnic group and leave yoruba out of it

you didn't see the stupid comment made by your Yoruba brother?

Waste of time and stepping backwards
instead of forward.......

Simplifying the language may not guarantee universal understanding, as some individuals might still struggle to comprehend, even with straightforward wording.

Throughout my primary school l was thought in Igbo

obembet:


U are wrong, many of us would have learn better if they teach us all those subjects with our local language.

Kudos to him.

Igbo to the world

This is a misconception I have often seen.

Tell me, can you read in your local language better than you can read in the English language?

If the English language is easier for you to read, what makes you think you would have learned better if your textbooks were in Igbo?

Most of us can't even write properly in our local languages. So how are you going to learn a complex subject that is written in this language that you struggle to read and write in? How many of us can casually read a simple Igbo news article without struggling? Or you forget that we do most of our learning by reading?
Now imagine having to not just read but study a technical textbook written in this language.

If at all, for this to work, our indigenous languages would first have to take the place of English in the country. You can't be a good student if you don't have a firm grasp of the language of instruction both in the spoken and in the written form.
So, for instance, Igbo language would have to be mandated and prioritised above all subjects starting from primary schools like we do with English language. If you don't pass the subject, you don't get promoted. This way, by the time students are at secondary level, they can read and write properly in the language. Then, perhaps, we can start considering using the language to learn science subjects like physics.

Lies. My friend here who was born and bred in Nigeria up till age 24 cannot speak yoruba and has even adjusted his surname to sound a bit like English so westerners can pronounce it.

Snell's law in Igbo....common!!!

Very good idea

Sadly genz can't read lgbo, Yoruba , isoko, Edo, ljaw, or any indigenous languages

I say that as an educational administrator

. Good efforts! Nigerian languages should not die. They must coexist with English.

You just don't know anything at all. So u know more than Yoruba people. In USA today, only Yoruba language is picked to be studied in American university. Why did they not pick igbo language. I don't need to argue with u

Nice job, with ai, such work can be made easy.

You are very ignorant and stupid.

Colonised mumu.

Speaking and learning in YOUR OWN God-given language is “backwards”.

I mean, some of you are so thick and stupid, it’s incredible.

Whoever messed up your heads to hate your own identity in this manner has a lot to answer for.

Don't kill your self, Igbo can borrow words from other languages. Besides English is the master of borrowing words- from Latin, German, French etc

What are you talking about ?

I just refuted your first post , you’re coming with another topic .
Behave yourself and stay on topic .
Not every yoruba person that grew up in yoruba land speaks yoruba. You can say most . But not every . He understands perfectly though but doesn’t speak it

Antivirus92:
just like Yorubas, the average Igbo kid doesn't like speaking his language

Gini??

That's a lie, unless the kid doesn't know how to speak it.

yes ur right most kids born in Igbo land don’t even know how to speak Igbo, it’s a very shameful thing to Igbos
