It's appaling that a large population of our so called educated Nigerians still make simple spelling errors in writing and speech.
Examples:
1. This particular one irritates the hell out of me! -  DEFINATELY AS OPPOSED TO DEFINITELY
2. INTERNATE AS OPPOSED TO INTERNET
3.I have also seen GOOD MOURNING AS OPPOSED TO GOOD MORNING.
and others too many to mention. Please kindly come up with other errors so people can be informed, It is disgraceful because most of these word are basics that shouldnt be mis-spelt

CGO:

It's appauling that a large population of our so called educated Nigerians \

See how you just shot yourself on the foot. . . . . . . .Uh oh Uh oh!
Remove the logs in your own eyes before venturing to remove from the eye of others.

I never said anybody was above mistakes dummy, everybody learns everyday!

On a serious note, Nigerians do make spelling errors. . . . . which is nothing new because the whole world, US even, makes spelling errors.

What is appalling is the fact that education is not a priority in our (Nigeria) society, but making fast money is the ultimate goal.
The fault is not 100% their luggage to carry, let's talk about Nigerians carrying diplomas/degrees around but no job.
So where does the motivation to get education comes from if the education won't get you anywhere?

Abegi, Nigeria is messsssssssed up!!

Spelling errors and American politics, any relationship I can't see?

Girl, you can say that again!
