    Doing any Nigerian language will affect my maximum subject as a commercial student. What do I do?
    School made compulsory subjects are;
    1) English
    2) Mathematics
    3) Civic Education
    4) Trade subject- Data processing
    5) Biology
    6) Igbo language

    I have chosen;
    7) Economics
    8) Commerce
    9) Government

    Accounting is left out, what do I do? Which subject can be removed and replaced with accounting? Or is my subject list good without accounting?
