[civsoc-mw] Use of indigenous languages

[Martha Kwataine]

That's why we dont progress- look at the French or the rest of Europe, USA-
it is either French or English with one being a second language to cater
for those from non French or non English speaking countries.  Kenya-
despite their other languages, they adopted Kswahili as an official local
language then English cos it was commonly spoken in Kenya, Tanzania,
Somalia etc and that makes it easier.

Let us spend our energies on what can take us forward but this language
thing mmmmmmm- every time it has come ali yense amafuna kukokela kwake and
it ends up dividing us.
