English Is A Language Not A Measure Of Intelligence. by Nobody: 12:46am On May 17, 2018
Go on and embrace the language you feel comfortable expressing yourself in, for it is the quality of thought that matters. 

In Summary

So what if that woman speaks English slowly? So what if she prefers to express herself in Swahili or Igbo,Youba? Who are you to say that she is unintelligent?

Let your children learn their mother tongue. Let them explore the different cultures around them, not just the Western culture.

Learning these things will not get in the way of civilisation. If anything, it is by understanding the different cultures and why different people do the things they do that we are better able to relate with them.

I hope one day people will understand that English is a language. Not a measure of intelligence.

Of course only a half brainer will say other wise. Language is never a measure of intelligence

Abi tell dem o.

If we can't crucify British for our own languages (Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo and others) malapropism then why the f*ck are we doing it when we do the same to their language (English).

It takes a great deal of intelligence to speak any language eloquently, fluently and flawlessly.

So what about those who made a first class in English Language?
