In one of the spaces where I meet with my colleagues who are also involved in the community building process in our locality. We normally reflect on the growth process and the challenges we are encounter on the path.

The community-building process is in this regard has much to do with the proper education of the youngsters who are still growing up.

Of course, you know is easier to trim the tree when it's still very young than when it's has grown into a mature tree. This seems to be the wisdom behind the age categories that the community building process focuses on.

In one of our reflection spaces on the island of Lagos City in Nigeria. The subject of the principle of the adoption of universal language was brought up and we were elaborating on this concept based on what we have read from the Baha'i writing as proclaimed by the founder Baha'u'llah.

Again, our deliberations were based on our subjective views and the extent to which we have researched on the subject of the adoption of Universal Language.

On the subject of Universal Language and its role in Globalization.

As far back as 2018 one in four people in the world spoke useful English. Language is very key to understanding culture and breaking cultural barriers that obstruct Globalization.

Lots of Chinese people speak Igbo, Yoruba, and Hausa languages from Nigeria. No other nationality can compare in this regard of multilingual capacity.

Interestingly, when we bring this home in Nigeria, the Igbo' who are the most successful business ethnic group in the country speak the most diverse languages as an ethnic group. They integrate quickly and learn the local language of any ethnic group they migrate to.

Language has been crucial to the success factor of Igbo traders across the globe.

More people in China speak English than people in the US.

Strategically China is among the nations that are prepared for Globalization.

Analyzing the importance of a Universal Auxiliary Language

There is great sense and wisdom in which this principle has to be adopted when the nations of the world are fully prepared for it.

Looking from the local perspective within a country let me use Nigeria as a case study. A lot of preferences as regards language. As long as you can speak the language of any ethnic group it's a plus for you in whatever situation.

The people seem to be opened and accommodating when you speak their language.

Experience with regards to the tool of Universal Language.

In 2016, I had the privilege to be part of a team that travels from Lagos to Benue to work with some of our colleagues who were of Kenya nationality. These friends were actively involved in the community-building process and had lots of knowledge and experience to share with the people. The path was quite slow for them, their efforts weren't attracting the level of confirmation it deserves.

When we arrived in that community we utilized the tool of language since some of the members of the team spoke the native language. The visit to the traditional chief bears a lot of positive results and our fieldwork attracted more confirmation.

In one of the instances where we were on the field organizing a moral educational training and one of the team's members spoke in the local language and the youths, shouted with joy that these people are our people.

We were able to achieve the goal for the cycle because of the incorporation of the language of the people.

Another experience is during our travels to Ghana for the seminar on the learning site which is a reflection space for the coordinators, of the junior youth empowerment program.

This space comprises Coordinators from seven African countries but the Ghanaians seem to enjoy a unique bond of friendship among themselves because of the generally spoken Twi language in Ghana.

The height of the bond of friendship and cooperation was more than the other countries because of the use of the common language Twi.

There is a great sense and wisdom in the adoption of the Universal Auxiliary Language in the World.

Thank you!
