Nigerian has three major languages namely Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa. The
thing is not a large number of people can communicate in these three
languages. This is perhaps because English is our main lingua franca.
There are so many benefits of speaking these three languages. It is,
noteworthy, to say that even though we are encouraging Nigerians to
speak these three languages, more and more citizens are moving away from
even communicating in their own mother tongue. Below are 7 (seven) benefits of speaking the three major languages in Nigeria.
You will have more job opportunities
There
are certain jobs you cannot apply for if you cannot speak these three
languages. And you know that these jobs come with fantastic salaries and
bonuses. For example, you cannot work for BBC Hausa, if you cannot
speak Hausa whether you are a veteran broadcaster or not.
Improve your competitiveness
Speaking
a second or third traditional language makes your curriculum vitae
stand out and can boost you to the top of the interview list with
potential employers. You are very competitive.
Can earn more money.
The
financial returns of learning an extra Nigerian language can help you
earn more money. You can freelance as a translator thus making more
quids on the side.
Get to try on different personalities
You
cannot be pigeonholed if you speak these languages. Hence, You can
easily shift from one personality to another depending on which language
you and your friends are speaking. You will have an all-rounded
personality.
Opens up social and cultural opportunities
Speaking
another language allows you to interact with different people and
understand the perks of other cultures. This means that you have better
chances to make friends, explore different ways of life and be able to
blend with different lifestyles.
Improves problem-solving
Being
multilingual in traditional languages can improve your brain functions
like the ability to focus attention and perform mental tasks. Thus,
people who speak more than one Nigerian language can process information
more efficiently.
Help keeps you safe
Have
you been in a dangerous situation in which you do not speak the same
language with the people involved? Well, persons who are multilingual do
not need to worry because their ability to speak and understand
whatever they are saying can save you. However, do not be too hasty
to respond because this can also be fatal.
