An associate professor with the Kennesaw State University in the United States, Prof. Farooq Adamu Kperogi, has declared that the statement signed by President Muhammadu Buhari on June 6th announcing the change in Democracy Day and conferring honour on the late Chief MKO Abiola will score “F” failure if graded by a WAEC examiner.


Farooq, in an article for Daily Trust titled ‘Nigerian Words and Expressions that are Untranslatable into English’ stated that the presidential statement’s “mortifying grammatical howlers” almost derailed him from writing on the chosen topic for his weekly “Politics of Grammar” column.

The professor of Journalism & Emerging Media wrote, “I’d planned to write this article last week, but the egregiousness of the grammatical transgressions in President Muhammadu Buhari’s Democracy Day speech was too much to ignore. I was almost derailed again by the mortifying grammatical howlers in the president’s June 6 press statement that, among other things, announced June 12 as Nigeria’s new Democracy Day.

From indiscriminate capitalization, to incompetent use of articles, to inelegant, error-ridden phraseology, to misuse of words such as “distract” for “detract,” and basic proofreading errors, the letter was disappointingly subpar. It would get an “F” if a WAEC examiner in English were to grade it. We wail with distress and in national self-pity every year over mass failure in English in school certificate exams, but our president’s official speeches and letters can’t pass muster with WAEC examiners in English. What message does that send to our secondary school students? Well, that’s not my preoccupation for now.”

Prof take it easy naa

Here we go again with another Igbo wailing himself to early grave because a Fulani he loves to hate gave a dead Yoruba man he love to hate a posthumous award. What kind of tribe are these people for God sake ?

Anyway nothing less is expected of a tribe that secluded a caste “Osu caste” among its own to be hated. Anyone expecting well wishing or goodwill from this lot need a brain check.

That is the extent this bigoted ochereome nnanna will go in showing what their tribe is really about.

Believe otherwise at your own peril.

Now Prof Farooq Adamu Kperogi is Igbo to you...
How dumb can you get? The writer has taken the president and his handlers to the cleaners for abominable grammar n ignorance, here u are displaying an even higher level of ignorance and stupidity. Do u even know ur countrymen and the names peculiar to them?
For the exact same thing, you castigate an entire tribe which you can't help but hate, how the hell do u even breathe?

Go and find out about Farooq Kperogi's antecedents particularly prior to the 2015 elections. Not everyone remains as inexorably stuck to Buhari's hairy cunt as you are.

Lol... Buhari scoring own goal since 1659!

but this prof sabi grammer oh..
