  1. I back Kiswahili 💯 but if it cannot come to Fruition I suggest 2/3 main languages in each region-

    West Africa-Hausa, Wolof, Fula
    Central Africa- Kikongo, Lingala
    Southern Africa- IsiZulu, Setswana, Nyanja
    East Africa- Kiswahili

    I base this off population, influence & other lang. linked in-similarity to those mentioned. Also if it cuts across one country or more.

  2. It is very practical and important to have a common language as Swahili in the continent of Africa. Each country should continue to have at least two of its local languages as the compulsory language of the country.
    All African languages should be encouraged since losing a language means losing your culture. And to return ourselves on the tract, we must embrace our culture , not make believe nonsense.

  3. To all my east African brothers, to you my sister. Faarkk you for the insult and for using gis channel for your faarking following. My parents and grand parents went through apartheid bot for you to conveniently make gun of OUR suffering

  4. Julius Nyerere's vision has to be completed. We need an African Language as Africans , The whites has English , the Chinese has Mandarin , Africans all over the world have speak Swahili.
    I have been saying this all this time, the time has come for Africans to be one and the only thing that can bring unity to Africans is when we speak one language.

  5. Did you know, Arab slave traders and their black Askaris used Swahili to communicate with each other? Julius knows only one Bantu language (Pedi) He communicate in English himself. Nb there will be no Swahili in South Africa. He must go and live in a country that uses Swahili

  6. No need for swahili when Biafra is recognized as a sovereign state. Spanish will be the best common language for Biafrans that the Biafran generation in 20 years to be recognized as the unifying language amongst all Biafrans. Yes it will take 20 years.

  7. From 🇧🇮 I love malema from bottom of my heart
    What he said I agree 100000% Africa can be United whereas we keep enjoying, speaking foreigners languages we have to choose our own language Swahili 🤝

  8. Black people throughout Africa and the Diaspora should learn Swahili and two other languages to be able to communicate among ourselves!

    This will also allow for more communication/collaboration among Black people and facilitate the trade of goods/products between/among African countries and between Africa countries and members of the Diaspora whether the Diaspora are located in South America, America, etc.!

  9. This is great great great great news and indeed a common language throughout Afirca should be adopted ASAP and taught throughout the k-12 schools and colleges/universities!

    Then, the corresponding goal is to revise the educational curriculum throughout the school system and revise the textbooks so that the students learn about the great African history, that they are the original people and the descendants of great great ancestors who ruled great great civilizations!

    Also, more k-12 independently black-owned schools and vocational schools need to be created throughout Africa!

  10. I hope you understand that not one person alive today will see this come to fruition. You can start it but you need to change your children's culture as to not follow anything that has come from any colonization linguistics. Speaking about USA, this is simply impossible because only a very small minority of blacks will actually want to do this. And that small minority will demand that the US government should be setting up schools to do this for them. And so it will just turn into another unrealistic complaint that will never end and become a political play that they will use to continuously string us along because we cannot face the fact that we are in present day.

  11. Nonsense ! Swahili is not viable as a continental language . It is just an East African language . Why don’t East Africans learn to speak Yoruba , Igbo or Pidgin English .

    This nonsensical campaign should stop !😠

  12. How Ironic. English is the language of the people who ended the African Swahili Slave Trader, but you prefer the language of those who took millions of slaves and castrated them.

  13. You are in the modern world, with all the things you enjoy are whether you like it or not, a result of colonialism. Swahili is the language of an Ethnic Group, The Swahili are a living breathing people. You will still need English to communicate with the world at large. Malema, is just a racist with a chip on his shoulder, he need to get over himself.
