It's lack of exposure. one can be illiterate and be expose.

I think both

TheWholeTruth:


This thread is about you.

It's actually meant 4 him.

When you're not exposed, your literacy covers up for you most of the time.

When you're illiterate, every time you try to expose yourself all you expose is your ILLITERACY.

mynameisjade: To me they are both the same thing....
I recently had someone ask me what a Ferrari mean/was same dude has an IPAD,DSTV n lots of gadjects

After complaining severally at their branch in okeilewo abeokuta. nothing has been done. Diamond Bank Oleeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!![size=15pt][/size]

We're talking about illiteracy here bro, not Diamond Bank.


You just displayed 1 of the attributes of topic of discussion.

For me lack of exposure is worst especially amongst females who think they are too wise n too much but many may be literate a bit below average but not exposed..

Poverty is worst!

Karleb: Lack of exposure itself is illetracy, so what are we talking about here?

explain

Lack of exposure is worse-off !!

My Grandma is an illiterate but you can never win her in the game of life because she is well exposed !!!


There are many literate people that are so dumb because they never think beyond their village and Nairaland is a great example of where they are !!!

Dygeasy: .

come comment

Illiteracy=inability to read and write(its only appied in education
while inexposure
inability to visit,witness,observe,takepart in a place or something to knw more.


Literacy(ability to read and write) without exposure brings lack of knowledge,ignorance but exposure without litracy brings experience...

.
.
,
We have those who never knew how to read nor write but got exposed to many things and people think they are literates...
.
.
.
HOWEVER,
Literacy is expensive but exposure is more expensive.

Lack of exposure.

Most of nairalanders are exposed to the internet


but they are illiterate

Ceasar1:
Wow! Are you really saying this?

Lol.. maybe you don't have any idea what an illiterate ‘Looks’ like Bro.

Illiteracy is never a disease , there are many great people who can neither read nor write but they are highly educated (exposed) !!

illiteracy is a disease which a doctor cant cure.

Karleb:

I mean, it's better to be an illiterate than to lack exposure.

please tell me u are kidding.

with the receipts of your transactions with
them,why not report to police and then take a lawyer to follow the case

Leetunechi: Most of nairalanders are exposed to the internet


but they are illiterate

Nope , Literacy is the ability to read and write !

Your sentence is :

Most of Nairalanders are literate but they lack exposure so is their mentality !!

Different versions of same shame.none of the two is good.

Lack of exposure is worse.Illiteracy can sometimes be subjective.We have a wrong perspective of the term "illiteracy" here in Nigeria.In Nigeria,a man that can not read,write and express himself in english is considered an illiterate while in America it is very difficult to come across someone who cannot speak,read and write in english because that is his natural environmental language of communication.
What am i saying? You become literate by exposure but literacy can never make you exposed.literacy and exposure is a case of theory and practical.Exposure to educational situations makes you literate and your literacy is aimed at helping you adapt to and advance in the "exposures" of life.
Can you describe a man that can read and write yoruba as an illiterate? No.....that is what he has been exposed to.But because He cannot operate a t.v set does not make him an illiterate,It only emphasize its limit of exposure.

Illiteracy no get part two na, with just a little exposure you can blend in anyway anyday. Illiteracy is a big disease according to English

D defining word for both is ignorance..and martin luther king jr. puts 'nothing in this world is more dangerous than ignorance and conscientious stvpid.ity'

Illiteracy is worst!

Exposure reduces your level of illiteracy on the long-run


Please note that my definition of illiteracy is not limited to academics achievements.

Blockus: An exposed illiterate man is better than an illeterate unexposed man.

However, its just by a very very small margin.

Nice one.I would prefer to say An exposed illiterate man is better than an unexposed literate man.

Illiteracy.
Reading books can expose u to many things.

donroxy: Nope , Literacy is the ability to read and write !

Your sentence is :

Most of Nairalanders are literate but they lack exposure so is their mentality !!

you have said it all

There is no shame in lack of exposure,just that the person maybe naïve in some facets of life but will catch up with time but illiteracy is shameful;can't read or write, even with exposure, this illiterate will mess himself/herself up in the public.
