agabaI23: @agaba123 Do not run away from answering my question below using your above quotes as an excuse chosen04: Very funny the dame have nothing to say after all her husband was occuping an inferior position. LOL |
Re: Dame Patience Jonathan And Her Poor Communication Skills by chosen04(f): 7:44pm On Aug 04, 2010 |
Beaf: @BEAF . . . . . . But Thank God you saw and heard your Joe calling ''HIS EXALTED'' position inferior cos of his grammatical blunder even though he is a Phd holder. |
Re: Dame Patience Jonathan And Her Poor Communication Skills by Beaf: 7:55pm On Aug 04, 2010 |
chosen04: There is nothing grammatically wrong with that. Positions can be superior or inferior, the only argument might be that the words were used inappropriately (in a politically incorrect way). |
Re: Dame Patience Jonathan And Her Poor Communication Skills by chosen04(f): 8:04pm On Aug 04, 2010 |
Beaf: INDEED! Beaf: Pls kindly name one inferior position that you know of? Beaf: Has Joe and the Dame ever used words appropriately? |
Re: Dame Patience Jonathan And Her Poor Communication Skills by Beaf: 8:14pm On Aug 04, 2010 |
chosen04: Two grammatically correct sentences; [list] [li]The position of General is superior to that of Sergeant[/li] [li]The position of is Sergeant inferior to that of General[/li] [/list] |

Does that really matter? good or bad English communication, ? British citizens would not complain, it's only Nigerians that troubleshoots English. |
Re: Dame Patience Jonathan And Her Poor Communication Skills by chosen04(f): 8:37pm On Aug 04, 2010 |
Beaf: What did you achieve with the dictionary post? Beaf: And when used in the usual Presido JOE inappropriate way, it becomes that is why in the first place constitution of the military is designed for two people to be in charge of parade at every time, one General superior and Sergeant inferior. Phd degree don suffer . . . . . . . @Beaf, You have not named in inferior position ooooooooooo. You only smartly coined two sentences using Superior and inferior, which is ''far off'' the mark. Pls kindly advice him on Facebook if you are friends with him. Cos i will never join, i dont even visit |
Re: Dame Patience Jonathan And Her Poor Communication Skills by chosen04(f): 8:40pm On Aug 04, 2010 |

We all remained in the same place learning english, whereas India is on technologically with bad english. I will prefer a progressive leader with bad english to Mr. good english. |
Re: Dame Patience Jonathan And Her Poor Communication Skills by Nobody: 9:19pm On Aug 04, 2010 |
Madam Dame Jonathan with her scratch-scratch voice. She talks like she is reciting a nursery rhyme. |
Re: Dame Patience Jonathan And Her Poor Communication Skills by chosen04(f): 9:22pm On Aug 04, 2010 |
Beaf: . . . . .If only he knows his googled dictionary did nothing to support any position as been ''INFERIOR'' as used by our Phd holding presido. Beaf: Its just a suggestion. If you are not comfortable with that, I apologize. |
Re: Dame Patience Jonathan And Her Poor Communication Skills by chosen04(f): 9:27pm On Aug 04, 2010 |
nakedall: Typical Naija Rant . . . . . Have you ever seen or heard of any progressive leader who doesnt have at least average mastery of his official langauge? Pls you can name? Have you ever wondered why IDI AMIN ( with his I will reverge your goodness fame), Abacha, IBB etc made such bad leaders? |

chosen04: You dey emit bullet here and yet you are casting aspersion on someone. Time to shut it. |
Re: Dame Patience Jonathan And Her Poor Communication Skills by Beaf: 11:38pm On Aug 04, 2010 |
agabaI23: Don't mind chosen04. I actually put the post you quoted in the grammar checker here http://ed.grammarly.com/ It came up with 14 problems. . . In about 50 words!!! Thats a whopping 28% error rate! |
Re: Dame Patience Jonathan And Her Poor Communication Skills by agabaI23(m): 11:40pm On Aug 04, 2010 |
chosen04:Don't run ke? I said something about the rubbish you wrote earlier. God check the post I quoted from you. It made no meaning and it was impossible for me to say anything I think someone has answered you though after you corrected your shyyt. Like I said earlier, please your English is awful and you have no right to throw stones. |

English o, No English o, She will still force her hubby to go for 2nd term I don't see any reason worrying over what is said by any politician- I think it is better they communicate in disjointed English rather than speak what they will never implement or remember it came out of their lips. Where do we find ourselves whenever our leaders speak better English 1. Annulment 2. All political party are here by DISSOLVED 3. Deregulation 4. Monetization 5. Due process 6. Evil Genius etc The only time our leader speaks impeccable English language is when they reads out speeches whom they themselves never know who wrote the words and what those words stand for. Just check this out to find out that we don't have LEADERS BUT ROBBERShttp://www.punchng.com/Articl.aspx?theartic=Art201008040443620 |

Beaf Posts: 8248 Online Re: Dame Patience Jonathan And Her Poor Communication Skills « #20 on: Yesterday at 11:56:22 PM » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nigeria has never had a well spoken leader (as far as the 2ndry English language is concerned). I don't see the relevance of this topic. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May be you should say that you were not old enough to hear Abubakar Tafawa Balewa speak Queen's English with good delivery. They used to call him the golden voice of Africa. Yakubu Gowon speaks good English and Murtala Mohammed also tried. The worst so far were Obasanjo and Sani Abacha. Jonathan's English is even better than that of Yar'adua. |
Re: Dame Patience Jonathan And Her Poor Communication Skills by Beaf: 12:16am On Aug 05, 2010 |
^ You're probably right. But I'll add Buhari and IBB to the list of leaders with tortured English. |
Re: Dame Patience Jonathan And Her Poor Communication Skills by Nobody: 12:19am On Aug 05, 2010 |
Atleast you guys could understand her to criticize her. I couldnt get her point. . . . . Was she thanking them or claiming war on America? |
Re: Dame Patience Jonathan And Her Poor Communication Skills by sophy09: 12:28am On Aug 05, 2010 |
The best thing for her is to get someone who will help her in public speaking. During campaigns in the US most of these people enroll the services of a tutor who guides on what to do. At least they have the money to buy irrelevant things so why can't she and her husband do so. Ordinary artists make use of these services. Indians who have strong accent while speaking English, companies outsource their customer service to them. These graduates (some are not) undergo training. |

[b]Hey, what are we talking and criticising about here? English language and it's grammar, abi? But, who cares if her grammar isn't perfect? Or is she being criticise because, she is the wife of a Head of State? What about former Nigerian Presidents, knowing they represent us on International platform yet, could not put sentences together and talk of use of grammar? As a President, Obasanjo could not use English language properly, coupled with his serious lack of etiquette = Zooch! Did anyone see him drink garri on the Net some months ago? If you haven't, well, I suggest you look for it and then tell me that's the kind of President you want to represent Nigeria's interests in the world. And for that reason, I suggesting anyone with money to set up 'School of Etiquettes' for these Head of States, their Ministers and wives to attend before they could take Office that, would help them a lot and stop this kind of criticisms. Until them please, stop criticising! We are doing well with the toughest language in world to learn, English language - A language made up of several languages - there is French in it, there is German in it and, there is Latin in it as well. But hey, can the English speak any Nigerian Language They are the worst and laziest at learning other people's language and we are here criticising our sister who is even more perfect in the use of the language than most local English men/woman, I know. Oh please, stop it!!!! And since you think, this woman is not good at using this 'heavenly supreme' language called English, have you considered how other citizens of Europe use and write English I mean both educated and illiterates among them e.g. have you heard the Polish, Russians, Ukrainians, French, Slovakians, Turkish , Spanish etc speak and write this heavenly language we'll all be speaking in Heaven when we get there. So, think about it when you set out on your journey of criticisms. And for those looking for perfection, remember, we all have our respective faults and weaknesses, too! [/b] |
