Globalization,Terrorism,and the English Language in Nigeria
This paper examines the concept of globalization in relation to terrorism,and argues that the ”imposition” of the English language on the world,Africa,and in particular Nigeria (through the media,information technology,and other means of propaganda,and under the guise of globalization) is a form of linguistic terrorism.It consequently views globalization as another name for imperialism and domination by the West,and argues that the continued use of English in all spheres of life will make the Nigerian state stagnant,if not indeed retrogressive,rendering growth and development elusive.As a step in the direction of a cure,it therefore advocates renewed interest in the adoption of an indigenous national language for Nigeria.
