This is 21st century and I don't really like the idea of having a president who calls ''corruption'' ''kwa-rap-shon''! Can you imagine this president standing side by side with Obama and addressing a press conference; this manner of speech is not only an embarrassment but a disgrace to all of us!

And what makes Obama's diction the correct one?

Appreciate diversity abeg.

We can't all speak through our noses.

And how does that affect intelligence?

Last time I checked, you don't need diction to fight KWA-RAP-SHION!

Unionised:

the rules of the english language.

Ikengawo:


the rules of the english language.

Which yeye rule be that?

Rid yourself of that complex.

The almighty US of A has so many dialects you can actually identify anyone's state of origin by their diction.

Obama's diction sounds funny to many of his electorate sir.

Expand your mind beyond petty issues.

there are rules to the english language, C, O, R, P, T, I, and N all have specific sounds they make and if you don't make the right sound you don't say the right word

Kwarrapsha is not Corruption.

See, if you want to speak English, you need to speak English. This manner of pronunciation may be pardonable for a semi-literate local artisan or farmer but certainly not for a man that wants to be president of a country with highly educated people like you and I

And what has education got to do with diction?

Do you cringe when listening to Ban Ki Moon?

How about that upstart N Korean leader?

The Saudi Princes?

What of Shinzu Abe?

Do they sound like the Queen of England?

Yet you appreciate these people, no?

So why's your own countryman different?

Double standards...

You can apply to coach him since you know so much.

Nigeria is an English speaking country. All these people you mentioned are from countries whose primary language of communication is not English.........

As a president, you 'll be dealing with advanced issues in economics - money supply, inflation rates, exchange rates, foreign reserves, etc. You need to understand how these variables inter-play. An illiterate or semi-literate will not get the job done for you

And so I repeat...

WHAT HAS DICTION GOT TO DO WITH HIS ABILITY TO HANDLE NATIONAL ISSUES?
