Ogbeche77: The Kano state coordinator who made this assertion is a joke, did he conduct a research to arrive at this conclusion? So because a larger percentage of Kano corpers can't communicate in queens english means those in other states can't as well....He just dug out figures from his dansiki..
Abegiiiii.
Just stfu!!! You enjoy talking out of turn. If it wasnt an hausa state would you still castigate this fact? That figure in the report is quite low, IMO, how many graduates in Nigeria can construct a simple sentence these days?

3ace: Reason why most parents will teach their children English at the expense of their native languages.
most parents speak very bad english/pidgin english and eventually pass it over to their children at a very tender age. Another reason why parents should stick to their mother tongues and leave english teaching to the professionals.

I believe the fact that most families communicate with their children using pidgin is a major problem. The kids are already used to pidgin, so effectively speaking correct English would be flawed by poor use of tenses.





Like some people would say, "English no be my papa language" grin

ckkris: Even the grammar, syntax, standard of Logic displayed in ON Nairaland by graduates is too embarrassing. The verb 'to be' seem SEEMS to be too difficult for 95% of contributing writers, even in Newspapers and Magazines.

You also need to work on your use of preposition and noun/verb agreement. grin

It's d partial truth. Bt y do we attach much emphasis on English Language in dis country, d fact dat a person can't speak gud english doesn't mean he has nothing 2 offer. Afterall govt has nt placed a level ground 4 everyone 2 av an opportunity of getting sound education in english, it'll take a very long tym 4 majority of us in dis country 2 speak a gud english. If a person makes little mistake in english na wahala, whereas pple who're criticizing such person doesn't av potentials lyk him. Let's reduce d importance we attach 2 d language

No need to get worked up.
It has nothing to do with bigotry.

Not just Facebook. This Forum also.

I am not surprised though as an employer.
And that is why they are not employable.

The other day, I asked one with 2:1 degree to write why
she wanted me to take her on.

One hour after she was still there.
She could not take off, let alone write anything tangible.

I had to have another look at the degree certificate to be sure I saw correctly.
It was a 2:1 to be sure.

We are in trouble, real wahala.

To say 89% percent of corp members or graduates cannot communicate effectively in English is not true... 'Effectively' is not the same as 'perfectly'... It is true that many of us have problems with the use of verbs or lack good commands of spoken English which only connote imperfection. but even at that average Nigerian graduate can hold his or her own any time any day as far English Language is concerned.
