Upholding tradition okorocha bars rulers from speaking english at functions
It appears that you're referring to a recent news article about Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, imposing a ban on the use of English language by traditional rulers during official functions.
According to reports, Okorocha has directed traditional rulers in Imo State to only speak Igbo language during official functions, including ceremonies and events. This decision is aimed at promoting the use of the Igbo language and upholding the state's cultural heritage.
While some people may see this move as a positive step towards preserving the state's cultural identity, others may view it as an attempt to restrict the use of English language, which is widely used in Nigeria and globally.
It's worth noting that this decision may have implications for the state's international relations, trade, and economic development, as English is widely used as a lingua franca in global communication.
What are your thoughts on this issue? Do you think the ban is a good idea, or do you think it restricts the use of English language unnecessarily?
