Crystyano:


Whatever you are doing intentionally is worth doing well including speaking Spanish, English,French, Yoruba,etc

Let 2braithe learn

Define "well" what the hell does that mean?
So if I play football I must play like Messi
How many things in this life do you do well

Spare us the takeaway tinned wisdom

Many of us play football tennis and other games we are not professionals and cannot play as well as professionals
We take photographs but are not photographers we cook but are not caterers , We make love but are not professionals, etc. So that your idea is just fake wisdom

How many Nigerians speak their mother tongue well

Bullshit



What sort of useless comparison/analogy/diversion is this??



Is it even only Messi that plays football well

Doing things well is not perfection



Even professionals are not perfect





What stops you from speaking your mother tongue and English well??



To hell with your definition of 'well' !!!!

I did not define well. I asked you to .
You introduced the term here so define it
It is essentially meaningless because it is not defined and means different things to different people


So the idea of

What is worth doing is worth doing well is native wisdom for children. There will always be someone somewhere that does it more "well"

We do thousands of things in this life and do not have to be experts at them all.

I reserve the right to choose not to speak English well. I speak enough to meet my needs period. What stops you speaking Ogoni well?


English is not our language and there is no need to become an expert. As long as one is understood that is all that matters

If you can be understood

Then, you have done well


In other words
You have tried

If you study in any English or American University you will get it.

Many Asians come in yearly with really poor English compared to Nigerians and they do well

You are better appreciated for being real=authentic than for any fake/cultivated accents

Nigerian have enough English .That is not our priority right now

I can use whatever accent I want

You have also used ' well'..... for Asians



I don't care about what you think of Asians


If they don't appreciate me
I will appreciate myself



Nigerians must continue to learn English so that there will be understanding to some extent



Stop comparing us to XYZ

XYZ are not special

You seem to have a comprehension problem

What is my business with you or your accent?

There are many meanings to the word "well" e.g. a place that people fetch water from
Is there a crime in using the word; well?

When we say Asians "do well" it simply means they thrive or prosper as individuals
It has NOTHING to do with doing A THING well as in what is worth doing ......

That is why I would advise folk like you to forget English . It is not and cannot be your forte. Stick to Yoruba or Urhobo and you will "do well"

Bullshit


You came up with the issue of fake accents


Nigerians also prosper as individuals

I am not Hell-bent on what is worth doing is worth doing well


I don't care about Bla Bla Bla

You don't have to apply Bla Bla Bla


I don't have to forget English


Your comprehension skills are not needed by me



Stop quoting me


It's of no use

Crystyano:

Are you not the ignoramus that quoted me first , talking nonsense about "enslavery" trying to correct my English with your semi-literate ideas.
You are barely literate and have no business correcting anyone

You quoted me out of nowhere to tell me that "enslavement" is not a word and I should have written "enslavery" > I schooled you on that .Instead of keeping quiet you are still talking rubbish

Read books and watch American movies

Case closed!!!

Saneesk:
Nairalanders please i need suggestions as to how i can improve my ospoken English to absolute fluency.

Just read novels or anything written in English..
Within a year you would be surprised at yourself...
My years in junior secondary school,all I could speak was Yoruba,I never for onced met anyone in an English conversation,I wasn't even conscious of the language..
I gained mastery by reading novels,articles and science reviews everyday,gaining those knowledge boosted my self esteem because without it,even after reading vigorously,you would stutter in public..
