“African poets have
chosen to write in English or French sometimes because they feel that what they
have to say can be better expressed in a language which had been developed for
literary purposes for many hundreds of years; sometimes because what they have
to say is for readers all over the continent of Africa and outside Africa;
sometimes because they are anxious for poetic fame wider than the frontiers of
their own country.” – A Book of African
Verse(1964), ed. Ed. J. Reed C.Wake

for me it is better for you to write in your own native language. For the purpose of expressing you self freely and clearly that will understand better by you own people
