The Doom of African's and the Solution of Their State Bernard Benson Sarfo

Everyone born in this world has a language heritage; it is without your decision, just as you do not decide where you want to be born. You can study, speak, and write somebody's language, but you should not rule your home or nation by the language your forebears do not understand. If you do so, you have sold your dignity to dishonour your mother tongue. The doom of African's as continent today lies in the use of the strange language to rule our nations. Our development is pivoted on the language our mothers understand. The language we use is the knowledge we have, and the knowledge we have stands on the language we use. We understand implicitly by our native language. Our lack of development as a nation today is as a result of underestimating our mother tongue. So, if you put your real language aside, you put your knowledge aside. Any country whatsoever which uses a strange tongue to rule their nation has put aside their knowledge and understanding. By so doing, such a nation has become a servant to the nation whose language is being used. The nation, therefore, becomes incompetent in doing things for herself and blocks the understanding of her people as a real nation.
