The study specifically examines the effect of globalization on the value system in Nigeria and the effect of globalization on changes in language in Nigeria. A sample of 350 was selected for the study through purposive sampling technique. A pilot test was carried out in the study to determine the reliability of the instrument. Data collected for the study were tested using simple linear regression analysis with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 23). The findings of the study revealed that globalization has a significant effect on the value system in Nigeria. The research also indicates a significant effect of globalization on changes in language in Nigeria.
