Answer:

The English language is well acknowledged to be one of

the most important legacies left behind by the British in

Anglophone Africa. With specific reference to Nigeria,

Ayo Bamgbose declares: “Of all the heritage left behind

in Nigeria by the British at the end of the colonial

administration, probably none is more important than the

English language” (Bamgbose, 1971: 35). The language

came through the contacts the English-speaking people

had with Africa through different means. These means

include exploration where various explorers like Mungo

Park, Clapperton, the Lander Brothers (John and Richard

Lander), in the course of their business, brought

elements of English to this part of the world through

interaction with the Africans along the coast. There was

also commerce: in which the British, following the

Portuguese and the Dutch, dominated trade in the

relevant societies, both in terms of trade in commodities,

namely agricultural produce in exchange for

manufactured goods, and in terms of trade in humans

(the Slave Trade).

The Christian religion was a major factor that implanted

English in Nigeria. With the roles of the British explorers

and traders, English was essentially a “foreign language”,

in that it was used mainly for communication with the

visiting foreigners or by the few Africans who travelled to

the rest of the Anglophone world. Nevertheless, with the

missionaries, the language became a “second language”

in that there was now a conscious effort to teach English

to the Africans so that it could be used for

communication, not just with the Europeans, but with

fellow Africans, especially in evangelism. Colonialism

brought the implantation of English to a head in that,

besides the establishment of government schools, it also

evolved policies in terms of grants-in-aid often tied to the

quantity and quality of English taught in government and

missionary schools. However, there was equally the

institutionalization of English as a medium of instruction

and other measures aimed at encouraging the learning

and use of English
