YOUNG MAN, YOU SEEM NOT TO HAVE MANNERS. I WILL ADVICE YOU TO BE CAREFUL WITH THE WAY YOU USE WORDS. I WOULD HAVE USE A MORE DEROGATORY WORDS ON YOU BEYOND YOUR BONE MARROW BUT I DESIST FROM IT BECAUSE YOU'RE YORUBA .HOWEVER ,BEFORE YOU CONCLUDE, YOU SHOULD TRY TO CHECK THE DIFFERENT MEANING OF “ILLITERATE" if it can't be used for a PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA in a broader context. DOES THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA OBEYS COURT'S ORDER? THE DICTIONARY CANT BE WRONG!. STILL I WANT YOU TO KNOW ALL OF US DON'T BELONG TO THE SAME LEVEL IN LIFE OR SAME SCHOOL OF THOUGHT. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING POMPOUS BUT REALITY. THE TRUTH IS THAT ALL INDIVIDUAL DON'T HAVE SAME THUMB PRINT,SO DON'T TAKE KNOWLEDGE DIFFERENCE WITH THE FEELING OF HATRED. I STAND TO BE CORRECTED AFTER YOU HAVE CHECKED THE DICTIONARY MEANING OF “ILLITERATE". AND IF IT HAS MORE THAN ONE MEANING, THEN LEARN TO TAMED YOUR HEART WHEN TYPE OUT INFORMATION ON A FORUM

lemme quote three definition I know on the word“ILLITERATE". 1. UNABLE TO READ AND WRITE,2. HAVING LESS THAN AN EXPECTED STANDARD OF FAMILIARITY WITH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE. 3. NOT CONFORMING TO THE PRESCRIBE STANDARDS OF SPEECH AND WRITING...DOES NIGERIA'S PRESIDENT CONFORM TO STANDARDS OF SPEECH? IF YOU SAY YES,I GUESS YOU SHOULD REVISIT THE OBAMA'S SPEECH BEING QUOTED BY Y-------OUR PRESIDENT THAT EMBARRASSED THE WHOLE NIGERIANS,EITHER AT HOME OR IN DIASPORA. THE FUNNIEST PART WAS THAT ONE P.A CAME UP TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH MISTAKE BUT IF OUR PRESIDENT WANT TO SIGN MONEY FOR HIS ABROAD MEDICAL BILLS, HE DOES IT WITH EASE. AND THIS IS THE SAME PRESIDENT THAT VOWED TO STOP THE CAPITAL FLIGHT OUT OF NIGERIA ON MEDICAL GROUND BUT TO INVEST THE MONEY ON NIGERIA HOSPITALS. DOES HE CONFORM TO THE PRESCRIBED STANDARD OF SPEECH HE MAKES?..I REST MY CASE.

LASTLY, IF YORUBA TRULY HAVE NEAR 50% OF EGYPTIANS WORDS IN SIMILARITY, THEN IT PROVED THAT YORUBA ARE ANCIENT IS'RA 'EL BECAUSE THEY LIVED IN EGYPT FOR MORE THAN FOUR HUNDRED (400)YEARS. IF THIS IS TRUE, THE LANGUAGE ISRAELITES SPOKE MUST BE SIMILAR TO THE EGYPTIANS BUT DIFFERENCES CAME INTO BEING WHEN THE GOD CALLED JE' O' VA / ELI SEPARATED HIS PEOPLE FROM EGYPTIANS AND THEIR MAGICS. TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR ENVIRONMENT, AND USE IT AS A CASE STUDY. FOR INSTANCE IF YOU ARE BORN IN SAUDI ARABIA,WHAT LANGUAGE WILL YOU SPEAK? ARABIC OF COURSE BUT ONE THING THAT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IS THAT YOU WON'T FORGET YOUR IDENTITY.... AS SIMPLE AS ABC. I HOPE YOU GOT THE POINT...
