On Edo Language Seminar By Nebotv

 ON EDO LANGUAGE SEMINAR BY NEBOTV






This is good and I commend Nẹkpẹn Obasogie for all her effort promoting Edo.


I know honourable Commissioner Dr. Joan Oviawe. When she was made Commissioner of Education in Edo state, I had a breath of hope.


Calling a conference or seminar  for standardization of orthographic of Edo language (ABD) is just too little for gathering of such great minds.


Have observed, many Edo scholars or writers duel too much on ABD EDO.


When was first invited to Edo language scholars presentation at institute of Benin studies 2010 by Prof Uyilawa Usuanlele, though could not attend for health reasons, I gave my contributions. Many papers wẹre presented but remaining taking actions on many ideals presented.


Edo born are incharge in Edo state. Nobody stop  Edo people from doing what is right for themselves in their mother and fatherland.


Here are suggestions that could be taken or focus for the seminar:


1. Establishing an Edo language broadcasting cooperation or sponsor programs in ITV, EBS, AIT and NTA in Edo state to reading news in Edo and other programs in Edo


2. Make Edo language a compulsory subjects in all schools across Edo state


3. Sponsor and train teachers for Edo language across the state 


4. Call up awards to those authors who have writing quality books on Edo language, including those who made apps, websites and others making  online broadcasts promoting the language.


5. Award creativity, innovations and translations in Scientific books and articles.


Edo can no longer blame yoruba or Britain for not implementating Edo language in Edo state where Edo people are at helm of affairs


Its time to get into deeper waters and catch good fish. Not more ceremonies but implementations


Lets get one thing done and well done.



Thank you
