i have listen carefully when both of them speaks and of the truth Jonathan speaks English better than Buhari.

Buhari spoken English is poor compared to Jonathan. i hardly understand what Buhari is saying when he is talking. i mean the pronunciation, intonation and so on. this will definitely be a big blow to him if he emerge as the president of Nigeria.

let us not argue this. Jonathan's spoken English is better. nevertheless, i will vote for him if i know he will deliver. spoken English is not an hindrance.

Op, your english is worse. Check out your tenses and punctuations. wondering how your spoken english would sound with this .

whether English or not i dnt care. Jonathan speaks better that's all.

slimfit1: So now Jonathan is an English man now

he speaks English fluently than Buhari. tell me it is not true.

And is that the most important quality of a leader?.Because i don't see how this helps the common man.

". . . people will feel one kain", "America will know", are some of the blunders made by Jonathan. Who can point out any made by Buhari.

Buhari is capable of communicating using Hausa only, be prepared to hear your C-in-C blabbing hausa if he wins.
The man should continue with his previous job of exporting magani burutashi.

LOL, don't mind him - a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
Check out his last sentence (not AN hindrance) i.e. using 'an' before the word hindrance, as if the spelling of the latter begins with one of the vowels.

I bet the omo Englishman doesn't know of that rule - a common mistake among many of our so called educated illitrates

Even GEJ does not speak sound English. GEJ shivers anytime he is facing the media. If it is English, Nigeria would have grown pass the level we are as a nation. Watch programs on national TVs, public discussions, public debates etc we see Nigerians speaking high level grammar from Independence till date. Yet, we are still where we are. What we need is not who speaks better English, but that man/woman with strong character and vision, because if its for Speaking good English, GEJ won't be the president when we have Wole Soyinka, Patrick Oghbayegbon etc.

Jonathanians always looking for a reason dis credit the peoples General
English ke turanci banza

OrlandoOwoh: ". . . people will feel one kain", "America will know", are some of the blunders made by Jonathan. Who can point out any made by Buhari.

"America will know" is in no way a grammatical blunder what so ever. Buhari still calls Nigerian Nihshjiria

can u show me omo in the dictionary? i thought u would have done better?

by the way, learn how to spell 'illiterate' correctly next time before correcting people.

is the OP running for President of Nigeria?

SLIDEwaxie: let's talk about brains! Intelligence! Ok?

How will he lead if he can not communicate his ideas to the country and if the country is not proud of his communication skills?

Jonathan is not a great speaker either but the Next President after Jonathan should be better than Jonathan not worse! And thats not too much to ask!

INSTINCTS: And is that the most important quality of a leader?.Because i don't see how this helps the common man.

How can a leader champion a vision and take a country in a fundamentally new direction if he cant communicate with his people?

Yes communication is key to leadership

Ikengawo:

Yes, it's grammatically wrong, it's a wrong statement.
Your problem of obsession with Buhari's "poor English" is your lack of language. Buhari speaks English (L2) with Fulani (L1) accent just as Jonathan does with Ijaw (L2).

Mogidi: Buhari is capable of communicating using Hausa only, be prepared to hear your C-in-C blabbing hausa if he wins.
The man should continue with his previous job of exporting magani burutashi.

Your hatred and intense criticism of Buhari has no logic other than you are a paid agent working for your pay to malign and assassinate the character of the General.

There is not a single shred of evidence against this man of being a terrorist, yet you keep repeating the same thing day in and day out.

If you doing good or bad, God knows will definitely give you the appropriate reward for the work of your hand.

Your major concern now should be how to work on your written English. Forget about Buhari and Jonathan. No sane fellow would say Goodluck, the so-called PhD Holder speaks better than Buhari. Like I've earlier said, you shouldn't expect an Igbo boy to say “Up Chelsea”, instead of their usual “Hope Chail---see”. Accent is different from inability to comprehend or speak a language fluently!

how does this stops Buhari from pronouncing Nigeria as Nijirha?

u can also correct urself.

He led before and his economic policies were sound for the time, carriage is more important than your accent, nobody understands GEJ's english at the UN.

Don't even make a joke

Buhari has no clue on economics!

Is it spoken English that determine how competence a president is?there are lot of presidents in this world that don't even speak English at all and they are not clueless like your incumbent president.If GEJ like let him speak English like Queen of England or Barak Obama,what I know is that he shall be voted out come 2015.

I am not a Buhari man, but when it comes to spoken english I give it to the General!
During the early Chibok-girls problem, GEJ did a Radio/TV national program(or was it an address?), BBC broadcasted a clip of the program and TRANSCRIBE GEJ words on the screen, in english while GEJ was speaking in english! That showed some people, at least in BBC, could not understand GEJ spoken english! But I have never seen Buhari's words transcribed like that on TV!
