What is your indigenous language, is it your country's official language, and can your kids speak the language?

I am a proud indigene from Nigeria, My indigenous language is Eggon, and it is a language among the sub-languages in Nigeria. Eggon people's state of origin is the Nasarawa state of Nigeria.

My indigenous language is English which almost all the citizens of Nigeria understand. Apart from the indigenous language, Nigeria also has three major languages and many sub-languages.

I am not yet married but when married someday, I will teach my children my indigenous language irrespective of their father's language because I am so proud of my language, my language is my true identity, my origin, and my pride.

What are some of your country's traditions and how do you preserve them orally?

Every country has tradition, the essence is to give the citizens of a country a sense of belonging and identity and as such, my country has traditions that help in adding values e.g integrity, good education, freedom, personal responsibilities, the value of being selfless, etc in the country.

Tradition is very essential in our societies, thereby bringing families and friends together making people understand their place, etc.

Traditions in Nigeria
There are many traditions in Nigeria vary in the different cultures and these traditions are:-

Respecting Elders This is a very strong tradition in Nigeria, Youth must respect their elders and this has helped the citizens of the country to teach the values of empathy, kindness, morals, and compassion in the country and even outside the country.

speaking the truth speaking the truth is a tradition in Nigeria which is why order is established and maintained in Nigeria. Truth matters to us as individuals and to our societies as a whole, being truthful means Nigeria citizens can grow and mature by learning from each other

It is through this tradition that today Nigerians are living in peace and unity.

studying hard to become useful studying hard for success is very important in life, it enables the citizens of Nigeria to develop critical thinking skills that are required for success, and it also helps in building our manner of thinking.
