Autorenporträt

I was born, raised and educated in Nigeria until 1996 when I moved to the United States of America for further studies into linguistics research and documentation. From a very young age I recognized the need for an indigenous universal zonal language (lingua franca) for my homeland and surrounding West Africa and began my life long pursuit by the evolution of what we now know as the Guosa language. There are currently over 500 indigenous languages and dialects being spoken in Nigeria; and about twice this number in other West African countries. Many of these languages are fast becoming extinct due to so many factors militating against West African indigenous languages and dialects. It was over 30 years ago that I completed the first Dictionary of the Guosa Language. It is my vision that the adoption of the Guosa Language will be embraced by the multi-ethnic and cultural fabrics known as Nigeria and other West African countries - ECOWAS; bridging linguistic and cultural barriers among Nigerians, the West African zonal countries, Europe, the United States of America and the rest of the world.
