I tink lots of people will gain from this:- 1) my WAEC result*= i think "my WASCCE result" will be beta.
2) i do watch ENGLISH movies talking of naija movies o=* i do watch NOLLYWOOD movies. Cos english movies means movies done by people in england.
3)who is the ACTOR of the movie?*= who is the hero/main role of the movie.
4)I wanna buy a new JEAN*= it should be i wanna buy a new JEANS. Cos thats wat is all over naija now. JEANS IS JEANS no jean.
5)i want to (ASK HER OUT) and actually he is not asking her out on a date oh. Just trying to say i wanna express my feelings.. And i noticed this has become so rampant among we youths ASKING OUT is quiet different from approaching or expressing feelings.
6)they have TAKEN THE LIGHT or THE LIGHT IS GONE*= I think there is BLACKOUT will be better.

Language is dynamic, English is not an exception; it is also subject to variation due to geographical area, thus British and American English. The variety you are trying to modify above is 'Nigerian English'as it should be called, and i'm sure making corrections here won't make any difference.
Let's not forget that the most important thing is communication, and language is just a tool. Provided the next person understands what you want to say; it doesn't really matter how you say it.

Of recent (wrong) - of late, lately(right). Please expantiate(wrong) - i dont know why "expatiate" is mispelt and mispronounced:the correct pronunciation is " ix-pe-shi-et". Pure water (wrong) - satchet water(right); but you can say this satchet water contains pure water. Why do we say machine instead of motorcycle(motorbike for short)?
