@redsun
I put to you and all those defending poor English spoken and written by educated Nigerians. This is a reflection of poor self discipline and mental laziness, as debosky pointed out if one lacks the will to speak a language properly, I wonder where the will to carry out more demanding tasks will come from.
If I go to my village and start speaking my language in a garbled fashion at a town meeting ,I assure you they will not congratulate me for a job well done.
It is not a matter of colonial mentality etc,any language you speak whether its Hindi,speak it correctly

correct!!!!!!!!!!!!! so make una allow man pikin to fire him pidgin de go. see, me wey dey here, i go blow the pidgin well well. so nobody go say i dey scatter de pidgin, but i dey blow am fine

anyhow anyhow slippers na shoe, canda na meat, mgbeke na babe. de main tin na communication. chikena

bros wetin be canda?

@ aloib,

na wetin cade yan wey u begin dey attack the bobo with ur 32? abi make hin no verify say we true true get ladies for this forum? no bi only hin dey doubt that fact at all. e pass just to choose female for the sex option to bi female, we go need do some verification to determine that they are biologically correct. so stop dey attack the bobo like that. and if u over vex with me, i go raise gbege for ur head, i no say u no bi bruce-li sista.

@ the rest of una

e don do. na pidgin english dey bring all this quarrel? i bow oooo! ok, we no sabi speak english, make una go die. the english we speak b4, na wetin una carry am do? abi the country bi improve? abi no bi from speaking grammar we kill our country b4 the english kon dabaru? we just dey act like typical nigerian politicians, wetin dey worry us, we no go address am, na wetin no dey relevant na hin we carry for head. france dey speak english? abi japan dey speak english? even the english man neva speak correct english and yet nobody don give am sack letter say make hin waka from the country, so why una wan break our head with this cyber crisis, hen? if pidgin becomes our unifying language, so bi it ooooo, i dey for the language back 24/7, and for una info, pidgin english dey relieve stress well well, dey speak am daily and u go see say u go dey fresh small, and ur blood pressure go dey kampe. so make una leave case, talk wetin truly dey wrong with our beloved country, and bring useful suggestion come table, u neva know hw far e go help ppl wey dey back home.

FYI: for all of una wey dey always come 9ja reunion dey form language and still dey mis-yan make una stop am oooo, if dey try bi akarta, no practice am for 9ja reunion. if i catch una again next yr, well, una go see pepper sha.

i think u need to get ur facts right, there is no language spoken in today's world that still has its original format. languages will ever be evolving, thats why english, french etc will always have variations depend on where u are. calling it laziness is to get stuck in the last century. get up, move on and smell the new breeze (it might just be ur fart)

FYI: the queen's english like it is now is far different from what it was in the last 200 to 300 yrs ago, else we did still be speaking king james version of english as seen in the earlier translations.

Some of you idiots talk as if you are justifying colonialism,colonialism was as result of whiteman's greed and racist nature in bid to what they call bringing light and salvation to primitive native africans.Is that a legacy that we should be proud of today?No, this is the time and age that we should cleanse ourselves of colonial legacy and mentality and language and religion are key factors.Innovate,mastermind,and simplify bastards.The english before the roman invasion were primitive pagans,after the romans you have vikings, they came with their civilization and culture too which they blend with the natives couple with roman legacy to form what you as england today as well as the language.Thousands of years before this time,africa have seen glorious civilazation,which the greeks and romans copied and systematically wiped out to impose theirs on us and it is the continuation of what we have today,white man's civilization,infallible,good for you no question,ZOOBIES.

Kai,thief of heart,you are just a bush girl.

So you're advocating the abolition of the English language as Nigeria's official language and banning Christianity? But what about Islam? That was brought over by the Arabs?

Also, I think the first step to fighting colonialism, would be for Africans to stop flocking to settle in their former colonial masters' countries. So get out of England and get your butt back in Naija, and put your money where your mouth is.

If I'm "bush" then you're merely toilet grime.

Thank you. He's running his mouth yet he's in the "evil white man's " land and screwing their women. How can anyone take these people seriously? Lunatics.

Bros. . .dey use paragraphs na. . . or are paragraphs a product of colonialism too? W

redsun you are saying the right thing and these hypocrites has nothing else to say except pointing to paragraphs and typos to polish their egos

and anybody calling you lunatic is typing right now from rehab center and shackled

Aww look at the passive agression.

This thread is really getting to you two isnt it?

pele.

na only pele? Maradona nko?

abeg wetin be 'ZOOBIES' ? na English word or na pidgin word?

BTW stop using complicated meaninglessly redsun, it just shows a lack of true intelligence being covered up with big grammar

what does Innovate,Mastermind and simplify bastards mean anyways?

hahah simplify zoobie

Lmao 

romeo:

na only pele? Maradona nko?

ol bob romeo

that joke is so terrible

its actually quite funny

It's not your fault. "Always being Hot" must take a toll on your typing.

Romeo,this guys are just too primitive to know the diffrence,even if you talk to them from now till the end of time they won't get it.The problem in africa is not education,rather it is fundamental,people don't know what humanity means,what citizenship stands for,that is why they don't take pride in projecting their image to the world,they just make do with other people's ideas and creation,and take pride in them,just like sub-humans,not fit for purpose.Wales a country in united kingdom,still maintain and project their language and ways of life,despite english influence and pressure.Even birds,monkeys have ways of life that are unique and original to them,but we so-called humans just believe in fake,we still live and reason as if we are in the dark age.Qualified universities engineers in nigeria can't handle spanners,yet we are talking of english,do we need english language to be technical?no,what you need is common sense and formular that comes with the mechanism of nature,all those street mechanics that people take for granted are more useful to the society than the english jabbering dumbos,this people can't speak english,yet they can disintegrate and integrate the engine of the state of the art car,give them a bit of push and support,they will make cars. Creativity not english is the backbone of any society.

classical

If you wanna take "technical and creative skill" OUTSIDE of Nigeria then yes you do, slowpoke or even within Nigeria unless you are saying that foreigners/foreign companies dont exist in that country anymore.

But if you wanna stay limited and never go far, by all means restrict yourself. Ironically you two obviously havent as you ARE in other countries after all.

No one is gonna take you two seriously until you take your yahoo arses back to Nigeria so dont even bother with the rants. It's really just a waste of time cos you're not fooling anyone.

You know since you two are in Europe, homosexuality isnt illegal so. . . 

@TOH. LMAO u have certainly told those people. walai, i also was thinking that the bond between those 2 was questionable!

e be like say romeo has finally found his juliet, and she's a bloke!

some people will never learn sha!

@ redsun

are you intentionally trying to prevent people from reading the gibberish you type by failing to punctuate properly? Not because of grammar this time, but for ease of reading .

Lumping all your words together like that is not doing any good, it just reinforces the current opinion that no matter what good ideas you may have in that nebulous mind of yours, your inability to clearly present/pass on your message will result in you being condemned to the rubbish bin.

Do you need English Language to be technical? No, but to be understood, you need a clear language of technical communication a means to pass on this great skill/knowledge that you have acquired

Going back to your statements on African civilization and the like, do you know one of the main reasons for their sudden demise was the lack of a written/transmittable language? All we had were oral traditions which are gradually if not completely being lost. Without a good means of preserving this knowledge for future generations, each new group has to restart from the beginning again

Once again - creativity, when clearly expressed will cause society to progress, but if we all act like you and refuse to learn to communicate adequately, we'll end up going to the grave with all the bright ideas, what a sad waste

Obviously I'm implying that you are a yahoo boy or are you retarded as well?


and please don't even try to be funny, the most you could find is the fact that I dont tend to use the contraction apostrophe? Lol. Grasping for straws, are we? Lmao 

I have no problem with gays, I find them entertaining . I wish you and redsun all the luck in the world in regards to your relationship.
