English in Nigeria captures the socio-cultural existential experiences of Nigerians, and this idea produced the concept, “Nigerian English”. The fact that the English language thrives tremendously in Nigeria, made scholars conclude that the language has colonized the latter. However, we noted that this submission is still being debated on logical and critical grounds. A critical review of issues on education as a domain of national life was made in this study as we investigated whether or not thrives. However, we made references to other domains of national life since education discourse is all-encompassing or interdisciplinary. Besides, globalization cannot be discussed without making reference to other facets of life outside education domain. This paper examined the prospects of Nigerian English within the ambit of World Englishes, and has also highlighted and discussed the constraints. The approach made the paper a balanced sociolinguistic discourse which is anchored on the phenomena, and “globalization”.

Any blockbuster cinematic narrative conspicuously set in the uncommonly utilized location of Johannesburg is likely to arouse suspicions of an allegory of apartheid. When the ‘Other’ of an alien species enters the narrative, allegories of racial and class distinctions are nearly unavoidable. Neill Blomkamp’s 2009 science fiction blockbuster District 9 both highlights the Johannesburg setting and introduces ambiguously hostile aliens. Several critics observe the film’s function as an allegory for apartheid. One might broadly define allegory as any narrative that symbolically references events and people who comprise an identifiable historic event. Such a definition does not preclude the unintentional reproduction of the social politics at work in any given historic event, but many critics do not clearly articulate a distinction between the film’s superficial political indictments and its more deeply entrenched ideological reproductions. The surface allegory in District 9 appears to be a scathing indictment of apartheid era race relations, forced relocations, and the corruption of the military-industrial complex. These apparent indictments work to conceal the reproduction of a racist political economy in the narrative present at an ideological level. District 9 reproduces an ideology of racial binaries and naturalizes a pervasive system of class and racial distinctions in which miscegenation becomes (and remains) the primary threat to the bourgeois domestic myth.
