I don't know where you are from but it sure looks as if you need some help yourself. So here goes:

There is this general BELIEF that GHANAIANS speak BETTER English than Nigerians. Please Nairalanders in Ghana speak out.

Hope this helps, and by the way I actually agree that Ghanaian educated people, in general speak better English.

I started fuming with fury as I stumbled across this topic.

I dare not eloquently dismiss your biased opinion, I'D  feel humbled if you can incorporate a brief summary/narrative of the thoughts that established your perspective. It just seems so shallow (unless of course you can present an incontrovertible evidence).

Kobe,

Sorry I really don't have the time to do what you suggested.
It is a personal opinion I have from speaking and interacting
with the nationals of both countries.

You of course may have your own opinion which is different to mine, which
of course you are perfectly entitled to hold.

Just by the way, have you never heard of the SIMPLE ENGLISH campaign? If not
then I suggest you visit this site  http://www.badlanguage.net/?feed=rss2&p=324
and others freely available on google. Your posting though sounding impressive
with all the big words is not how to write English in this day and age.

Sorry, the last sentence you wrote is written in a language I can't read so I am
unable to respond to it.

Again not to demean your response. My post was clear and concise (IMO).  The words you refer to as 'big' are mere k-12 vocab. words. Have you never heard of interpretation using 'clues within the context'?
If "SIMPLE ENGLISH" does not tolerate free-style writing - I want no part of it.
In response to your question: No, I never knew English was sub-categorized into simple, hard, bent, straight, [insert your text here]. I do now, thanks to you.

My last sentence from my previous entry implied that the argument can go on forever. simple enough? 
Writing usually allows us the freedom to express ourselves in unique & creative ways - or so I thought?

Adding on to my prior post.
I welcome your simplified english offer.

As a testament, Ima start writing just like this cuhz.  I always preferred slangs to Proper English.

but MY ADVICE!! Many reliable Corporations write in big words and you(the employees) are expected to fully understand the written material so I'll suggest you get used to it.
