The inability of Nigeria to emulate India by leveraging software development as a major driver of economic development resulted in an unprecedented differential GDP. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to address the imbalance through the development of a new programming language codenamed '9ja-Reboot'.
It will enable Nigerian youths to gain mastery of popular and lucrative programming languages like Python, by teaching them in the following selected Nigerian languages: Pidgin-English, Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba.
The research will develop 9ja-Reboot by building a new language lexer and parser for Python 3. It will validate and convert codes written in non-English syntaxes into Python's English syntax. This ensures codes written in Nigerian languages produces similar runtime-results to those written in English language.
