We dont need quiet people as leaders who are mere stoogies - We need a vocal and do much type.

The demise of PDP and anything associated to it is the begining of hope for Nigeria.

May be you should go and listen to Fashola's wife, Gbenga Daniels wife, The Gov of Calabars wife to mention a few. The problem is that the woman schooled in Oporopopo Nursery and privary school and further her tertiary education Aporoko Comprehensive school, Ishakigba Aporoko Ibekinja.

Show me a mans wife and Ill tell you what kinda man he is.
Re: Madam Jonathan And Her English by furacao(m): 12:02pm On Dec 24, 2010
This is to show you that one can aim for Aso Rock without good grammar. Ride on Mrs First Lady. I wish you sooned recover from this blunder!!!

cool cool cool cool cool
Re: Madam Jonathan And Her English by Iysayah(m): 12:04pm On Dec 24, 2010
her english isnt good but no one will stand up to her and tell her this. what we rather do is laugh behind her and urge her on. the average Nigerian is a coward! fellas this is no big deal, her friends only want the cash they can gain, while she keeps bombing the angry whole Aso Rock
Re: Madam Jonathan And Her English by ada24: 12:05pm On Dec 24, 2010
this is funny and very embarrassing - did no one teach this woman basic grammar?

I think GEJ should stop allowing his wife speak in public she is actually making him look funny.

did she not learn the correct use of are and is in primary school?
Re: Madam Jonathan And Her English by Nobody: 12:10pm On Dec 24, 2010
With our money on her laps, she should hire an oxford prof. To learn simple english.
Re: Madam Jonathan And Her English by Guyman02: 12:12pm On Dec 24, 2010
GEJ married her as a house wife, and when he became president, she authomatically becomes first lady.

What matters to GEJ is the language she speaks in the bedroom when them dey do the thing and that language is universal Oh Ah! chei, ewo, mmmmmh i am comiiiing, dont stoopp!!!! grin grin grin

yes but as her husband rose in his political career, she should have tried to better herself as well, one can only wonder how she is able to discuss with the wives of fellow leaders around the world.

Housewife or not, she is the first lady of Nigeria.

Obviously, your English is not better than Dame's
The error in the sentence has got nothing to do with grammar

The only mistake she made is that she used 'people' where she ought to have used 'person'
And this is a mistake we all make on a daily basis
And why should she be prosecuted for a common mistake; after all, she is human like the rest of us?

Above all, remove the log in your eyes before trying to correct someone else!

The correct statement goes thus:

" MY HUSBAND, DR GOODLUCK JONATHAN, AND SAMBO, IS A QUIET PEOPLE, "
Re: Madam Jonathan And Her English by slap1(m): 12:21pm On Dec 24, 2010
If her English is good, would it make her a better person?
Re: Madam Jonathan And Her English by snowdrops(m): 12:22pm On Dec 24, 2010
I would rather have a semi literate but competent and incorruptible first lady than a thieving turai anyday anytime

ok - maths was always my subject and not english and b4 we make this a lesson concerning grammar i think u will find the mistake is more than just using people or person, the whole sentence is incorrect. I doubt I have ever made any claim to be a prof of english and I am not even ashamed to say i use spell check for a lot of things (damn u microsoft word!!!)

I think the point being made here is that she is the first lady of the so call giant of africa - it is embarrassing when u consider her position on the world stage and not nairaland!!

Do you mean what you put in quote above is correct? Let me be clear before I fall the hammer on your head

You guys should be careful the way you criticize Mr. President and his Wife, this is because, God has ordain them to lead us.
So NL, be guarded.
Re: Madam Jonathan And Her English by bodejohn(m): 12:28pm On Dec 24, 2010
No big deal in this to me.
The Queen of England once made a similar blunder although that was when she was much younger.
Re: Madam Jonathan And Her English by omongbati4: 12:28pm On Dec 24, 2010
She had two simple choices to convey the same message:

My husband, Dr. GEJ, as well as Sambo, is a quiet person
My Husband, Dr. GEJ and Sambo are quiet people
