My dear Ghanaians; Its church, not 'Chech'.
Pastor, not 'pastar'. Doctor, not 'Dactar'.
My fellow Nigerians; Its bath, not 'baff'. Our
currency is called Naira, not 'narrah'.
My dear Edo people; Its argument, not 'ajument'.
My dear Yorubas; Its Air, not 'hair'. Eight, not
'hate'. Its Van Persie, not 'Fan Persin'.
My dear Ibadan peeps; Its not 'sun tissu', its
Sean Tizzle! Its not 'siro' but zero!
My dear Hausa people Its fifty, not 'pipty'. Its
people, not 'fiffle'. Its five, not 'pipe'. Glo, not
'gilo'! Seriously it is 'Tuface weds Annie Macauley',
stop saying 'Toothpaste weds Animal

My Egun people; Its actually 'MTN' and not
'NTM'!
My dear Calabar peeps; Kindly note its love and
not 'rurf'. My Benue people; Its not 'Lick Loss', its

My Igbo people; There is nothing like
'thaaasand', it is thousand. It is bed-sheet and

Lord's prayer is actually 'Our Father, who at in
Heaven. Hallowed be your name...', and not 'Our
Father, look at eleven, adaobi thy name
