The audio quality was very very poor..The first time I watched it on channels(they hadn't put out d words then) I couldn't hear a single word,they only applied common sense in putting up d words on the screen so viewers won't find it difficult to hear..That's simple professionalism on channels part.kudos to them...... as for those trying to score cheap points with this news..sorry for u, u have just sunk to a new low, common sense might far from u till 2019...or mayb beyond sef..

Russia's official language is "Russian". Korea's official language is "Korean". Nigeria's official language is "English". Why would you compare the three of them?

They are all good in their official languages, Buhari should equally be good in English.

I've heard Buhari speak many times, he can speak English, and to a satisfactory level too, just his accent - which is not his fault. Hausas have their own accent, Yorubas have theirs and so do Igbos.

My problem with your comment is bringing in these other Presidents into the picture. Russians and Koreans listen and enjoy their Presidents' eloquence, but we Nigerians don't.

Well...there's always a way. Thank God for Prof. Osinbajo, the very intelligent and active VP.
at least we have a literate and objective person here. Be bless.

thanks so much, it's hard for nairalanders to air an opinion without raining insults on you which i'm glad you didn't. i know for sure that those countries are not english speaking country, but it's also a known fact that all northerners who grew up in the north have very poor accent, so why should buhari's case in particular be a big deal?

Not a big deal. I think you should listen to Vladimir Putin the president of Russia or Kim Jong-un the president of North Korea when they speak or give public addresses, then you'll know buhari's english is better. The fact that buhari has a poor accent doesn't mean he can't speak good english.
PDP followers just be hating on buhari anyhow.

There is no doubt that you have no blood running and that your entire body system is not functional like that of Buhari. Your brain celll are all dead as that of Buhari palms. When people were saying Buhari has no ceetificate and that the one he brought was a forged one, you people defended him as you are doing now. Tell us any president, since independence who is as dumb and dunce like this foolish and disgraceful Buhari? Na rubbish full your head.

How and why is this even an issue?
The fact that you want to create a thread doesn't give you the right to cook up gabbage topics.
Be creative with a thread and we'll all gladly participate.

If spoken English is a yardstick for good governance, GEJ would still be president. Besides, PMB's spoken English is ok and clear enough for anyone and every Nigerian interested in what he has to say to understand.

His accent shouldn't be an issue in my opinion.
I bet if someone with such accent ask you out you'll insult him and ask him to go look for his type of woman,accent and command of English goes a long way and makes people understand your point so as to be on the same page with you.Is not what one feel on the inside but passing their message to people who are listening so as to unerstand what they're plans are.Better to speak Hausa and get an interpreter that will work out better than stressing people to try and come to terms of what he's trying to say.

I wanted to sign out of Nairaland last night. But after reading this comment this morning with 694 likes and 68 shares I know the idiots are in far minority on the site. For Ochejoseph who was doing popularity contest yesterday for the president, I hope you have seen this comment? Because a very bad and clueless president lost an election all hell will be let loose on a public forum? Kids who have barely finished JS3 recruited here to be making foolery of a whole region blessed with brains like Emeka Anyaoku, Chimamanda Adichie and the rest from the Niger Delta.

God bless you Mr Dharniel and the rest reasonable people who endorsed this comment. There is hope to restore these hate children of multiple anger back to normalcy.

Have you heard a typical Ijaw man speak English? Were you listening to Jonathan before Abati tried to brush him up but even just a little? To me he has one of the worst accent for someone who has a PhD and a classroom lecturer. GEJ pronounces his own name Zonathan, shoes as sus, rich as ris and many more embarrassing pronunciation. What did that have to do with his woeful performance and bringing us all in the Niger Delta to a big shame? Don't just mind these poorly brought up kids recruited unto this forum.

Wrong comparison...Russia and North Korea are not English speaking. As for his accent I can always forgive an accent. In all I most say that his English is not bad, his tenses are always correct and he strings his words better than his predecessor.

Pally, this isn't a big deal in my personal opinion but for you to compare Putin and Kim Jong-Un whose countries' first official lingo aren't English with the President of Nigeria - a country with English as her official language is silly.

Very silly.
However, let the gentleman give us the change he promised us and he can speak Fulani for all I care. Like I said earlier, it's not big deal.

Don't mind them Dharniel. The number of likes your sensible comment gathered has closed the case. I've got colleagues from different countries some with really strong accents but it hasn't stopped them excelling in their careers. Just a shame how ignorant some Nigerians choose to be.
