An open letter to you
My best greetings to You Sons and daughters ...
I can not hide this truth to you my Sons and Daughters because I love you so much.
Question of the mother tongues,
An illiterate britisher speaks english fluently,
As an illiterate french man speaks french fluently ,
As an illiterate portuguese speaks portuguese fluently ,
As an illiterate spanish speaks spanish fluently ,
As an illiterate Yoruba speaks yoruba fluently,
As an illiterate Vira speaks Kivira fluently,
As an illiterate arabe speaks arabic fluently ,
As an illiterate chinese speaks chinese fluently,
They all feel comfortable when they speak their mother tongues.
Who can be comfortable when he " she" is imposed to learn his " her"History in strange language ?
... No one ....
I can be so happy to meet some britisher professors who teach their history to britishers in Isizulu , or Swahili, or Igbo , or Yoruba, or Chewa, or Nyanja, or Yao ,or Kiganda , or Kinyankole ...etc.
or Some french professors of who teach their history to french in Swahili, or Kivira , or or Lingala, or Kikongo , or Tchiluba, or Kibembe, or Kirundi ,or Kinyarwanda, or Igbo, or Yoruba...etc.
There is more power in loving so much your mother tongue.
Save this letter into your mind,
Think of those expensive words every day and night,
Share this important letter with your children, grandchildren , great grandchildren...etc.
I love you all.
Yours
Alfonso Warally Chris
