Intruduction Scholars worldwide believe that, there is a correlation between education and development of individuals, states, nations and any language community. The popular adage, that no nation can attain purposeful development without an adequate preparation for educating its citizens has brought to the fore the importance of education. The purpose of this module is to give a brief understanding of the relationship between education, language and development. These tripod concepts are interwoven agents of complete socialization of humans. The name Nigeria is more than 100 years now, and it resulted from the joining or amalgamation of the various ethnic communities that occupy the British protectorate of North and South of the River Niger. Prior to the amalgamation in 1914 the different ethnic communities within the Northern and Southern Protectorate were living independently but mutually attached through economic and social relationships. The trade of kola, palm oil, slave trade (still the slave village known as Brazilian Baracoon is regarded as a National monument as BadagrySlave Museum), bronze and other metals opened the major cities and towns to all. Both goods and people moved freely without let or hindrance. Sequel to the amalgamation, all the more than 400 ethnic groups, and languages were reduced to mere subordinate to English which was later made the official language of all colonial activities. The native Nigerian languages are made inferior and usually referred as mere vernaculars.
