Every true African at heart must see to it that they prevent their local indigenous (and very rich languages at that), from extinction!!!

How can we claim to be free, self reliant and independent from foreign colonial domination, when we DO NOT Even Eloquently SPEAK Neither WRITE in our NATIVE TONGUES?!? 50 years after independence the vestiges of colonial domination and colonized minds still control the African folks. Time to reclaim pride in what is authentically African...That is, our indigenous local African languages!!!

Yes, since no man is an island, we no doubt, can master foreign tongues for purposes of international networking, but that should not be at the Expense of Mastering our Our Local Mother Tongues...!!!

It is high time the UGANDAN EDUCATION POLICY Changed to address this important Need and Looming Threat!!!
