Reactions as man starts translating physics textbook to Igbo language

"While it is good to do these translations, I am wondering how we can make it useable in our schools. We have Igbo bible and many Igbo people either don’t know how to read or find it difficult and uninteresting. How can we make sure your efforts are not wasted?"
@Ejikemuwa1 said:
"This is highly commendable brother. We need to go back to our roots. The Chinese are taught in their language. So, ours shouldn't be different."
@_Victorsmog said:
"This is awesome. Physics will be easier to learn."
