Nor mind them. Afterall Tarzan didn't speak English. grin
Don't mind those useless twats jare grin grin grin

chiogo:

grin grin grin grin Seriously, I was mad at first 'cause the reporter was really nice during the interview. And I'd expect a reporter to know that Nigeria's official language is English.
I think she commented on how good my English was considering how long I've been here. . .and then she went and wrote that.

But after I thought about it, I had to laugh. She just had to give America credit - reason why she specifically called my cell phone a day AFTER the interview asking about my village.   I know the name of my village but not familiar with its population and such as I never lived there. She put village of 300 or some funny crap. lol so basically, this girl came from an uncivilized village in Nigeria and with America's help teaching her the English language, she became the Valedictorian! Yay! That was the whole point grin

That was the exact point she was trying to make grin. Bloody douchebag angry

p:s  Was going to ask what that village of 300 peeps was all about? undecided grin

Oh my gosh, when I first got here, although I hadn't lived in Nigeria since forever, I am still Nigerian and people would be going, wow, you're English is sooooo good. My algebra professor was shocked that I could speak english and that I knew the pi (3.142) symbol, "Do you have a symbol like that in Africa? Feel free to translate math into your native language to make it easier for you." In my mind, I'm going - woman, I don't even speak my native language  lipsrsealed

Village of 300 indeed.  grin grin
Pheww, didn't even know the population but after that I asked my parents and it's way more than that - 10,000 or something.

But that part was irrelevant because I never said anything about village, she called me just to add that info.

Hehehe, the questions really never stop. All one can really do is continue to prove them wrong. I don't see how likely it is for someone who NEVER knew English to come to excel in it more than the people born into it.  grin
