Hmmmmmmmm,I see CGO is actually less intelligent than I thought(what was that crap about not being Nigerian )
Would have been better if his flaws here had to do with spellings alone,but to add character flaw
Man that's double jeopardy

HC i see your point. lmao. to all those saying people the world over make mistakes while writing, i agree but from what i know most nigerians make those mistakes because they don't know the correct spellings of many words and they blame it almost all the time on typos. my point is that they will repeat the same errors when they re-write those words which they couldn't spell correctly. sad

Doyinosin:

Spelling mistakes, you're still yapping on about spelling mistakes. How about the fact that some people think being a Nigerian is an excuse for abyssmal

grammar and terrible spoken english.A schoolmate of mine actually said that. That's besides the numerous people that say things like "that one na

grammar jo", "English no be our language" or "you too dey speak english sef". NEWS FLASH people!!! Grammar basically describes the structure of your

sentences with use of tenses and what not, doesn't describe how big or obscure your words are. There are those small-minded hypocrites that say we

shouldn't value the English Language because caucasians imposed it, these folks however feel comfortable accepting the " Oyinbos' " nice clothes and

technology.You want to be cultural, walk around naked and go back to the stone age then. BOY!!! i've been

holding that in for a long time.

You dey vex o.

you guys are bad! the dude probably did those 'appalling errors to call your attention to the topic, and boy, i must confess, has he achieved what he set out to do!(4 peeps with only 5 senses!)

So, overall, his thread garners more hits, more popularity n stays at the home page. But i must say, he really touched a very sensitive side there, and much as we all would like to play like we dont give a shit bout what he said, we know we all do! So i say, kudos to the dude who started the thread!

CGO, where are you now?
On behalf of all Nigerians, I beg you to please come back and entertain us some more!
I can assure you that you bring smiles to most of our faces with your antics.
If you come back, I promise to attend your 10th birthday party and I'll bring some of my Nigerian friends too.
Am I mistaken in assuming you are less than 10 years old?
You sound like a 9 year old so forgive me if I got it wrong.
Cheers mate

Now come to think of it, The oyinbo mans language is confussing, there are some words you don't the real intention and we are taught that it is conotation and denotation. but our own language is straight and clear but oyinbo language na wahala, because of their bad intention them come they confuss themselves with their own language. If oyinbo no fit understand him own language finish, who be me to come help am out

Re: Nigerians And Spelling Errors! It Keeps Getting Worse! by deleson: 2:27pm On Sep 29, 2008
Well,it is very apparent if not obvious that the communication of most Nigerians,even the so called educated is bad.This is attributed to poor background in formal education and societal oppression which most Nigerian(s) never consider as a minute barrier,

The next question,that flips through my mind is-What are the proffer solutions to such problems
