We underestimate the value of the English composition and comprehension lessons given at primary and secondary levels. The Education Ministries do little to monitor content nowadays. I have picked some short literature and English language texts recently to assess the content and 'I saw terrible things'. Books are written for profit, not impact these days 1 Like |

Truvelisback:The evidence that you are a graduate is not based on how well you exercise with dictions and grammars, but based on the application of the learning process, the things you can remember after school. I have friends that speaks Polished Queens English like you but are broke, and I know people that don't believe in English construction that graduates are working under. Just stay humble it's not about English. 1 Like |

Have you heard Idians speak before? They have some of the best doctors in the world, even in USA, Canadian English can be detected from their tone, same goes with indian, assian etc but you see nothing wrong when this people speaks. The moment a Yoruba man speaks, your English error detecting machine becomes alive Truvelisback: |

Truvelisback: Many french, spanish, Italian and Asian Graduates residing in their home countries sees English as a secondary language and speaks it as one. Asians are even worse, but they don't take it as a measure of intelligence, by which a graduate must know how to speak fluently. But I don't have any problem that black people have innate low self-esteem about their culture. Do you know that English is a secondary language to about 90% of Nigerians, be it a graduate or not? Do you know that majority Graduates mostly speak English on an informal settings? Let's say; in school, at office or when addressing someone on a professional level. But once they go home, they often times speak their native dialect, just like a Spanish, French or an Asian man would do. A Nigerian Graduate doesn't owe anybody a good English. What you call blunder is simple mistakes that non English natives makes. It's not as if you can't be able to understand what the person is saying. What about Nigerians that grew in Nigeria that doesn't even know how to speak their dialect? I guess they are dummies isn't it? There was a schoolmate of mine in Aba, he's very brilliant, dude was the best student during my secondary school days, he made parallel A's in Waec, graduated with first class IN UNN. Dude Is earning over 2.5 currently. His English is still not that sound enough as an average aba boy that went to UNN. Not like he makes mistake often, but he's more good with written English. Black man should be proud of his culture, and not look to mock someone that's is not so good in another man's culture. Language is culture. I can go on and on.. 4 Likes |
