Nigerian man, Maazi Ogbonnaya Okoro receives accolades online as he writes a Physics textbook in Igbo language, revealing what motivated him to embark on the project.
The author took to his Facebook page to announce the release of his new book in a post he made on the platform.
He revealed his motive for writing the book in Igbo as language preservation since he had read about warnings of the Igbo language going extinct.
Maazi Ogbonnaya stated that he had commenced the project of writing the book to ensure that such a warning never came to reality.
His words read ...
"The first ever Physics textbook rendered in Nigerian language (Igbo) is OUT!!!!
Over the years, I have read so many threats facing the Igbo and how it will go extinct. This motivated me to embark on this project that seemed unattainable, for science subjects to be taught in Igbo. I started from Physics. I said I would do it, and I DID IT.
This book is designed in a way that one without formal education can understand Physics. It's needed in all libraries, schools, homes and for individual use."
