I for one, think we are just catching up with development, social media is also a good indices to know a developed/developing country , but it must not be abused. |

I hope these _idiots know plagiarism is a crime? They took a foreign study and copied it word for word claiming it as original because they changed the names to Nigerian ones. One thing I know is my spelling was always good but my grammar construction and conciseness increased by 25% since coming on nairaland. The whites say composing twitter updates is a grueling activity to academic scholars and personify versatility in sentence composition. Let these oafs remain ever-backward quoting outdated studies while the world moves forward. Also, in an era of email and instant messaging, no one uses NIPOST anymore. The mere mention of the name conjures frustration and incompetence - waiting a whole decade to receive a letter is not an experience one easily forgets. 7 Likes |

While i would say NIPOST is just being melancholic they did raise a valid point sms and tweets has destroyed many people's sense of grammar and spelling But as for me , Internet and technology has helped me improved somehow because i pay attention to spellings and correct them with chrome , i make sure i master the correct spellings so as not to make the same mistakes over again That's just me being realistic 8 Likes 1 Share |

My writing skill has not been affected by social media and sms as l easily tilt my mind to write pages as l do to a text message. Foundation do matter a lot as l did acquire a good handwriting skill in primary school from intense lessons in handwriting and in wanting to see how nice my handwriting looks. l developed the love for writing. I always have a pen around me as l write a lot. 2 Likes |

I don't know why some people will just write whatever they like without understanding what the Nipost Boss is driving at. This SMS issue is going out of hand because I have noticed in many application letter's nowadays some Graduates cannot spell some words correctly or fully because they use short codes thinking that they are writing to their girl/boy friends. I think we should blame the people piloting the affairs of our education system, during our days in primary school there is what we call Dictation and letter writing,I don't think Dictation still exist now in schools because if you don't know how to spell words in primary school there is no guarantee that you will know it all in secondary school. My advise here is, parents should help their children by going through their note books and correct them if there are words they did not spell correctly. Thanks. 12 Likes |

But seriously, do we still have NIPOST? Last I heard about them was when I was still searching for job some years back. When they ask us to send CV to a P.O. box or PMB. Now it's DHL I normally use. Chai, its paining them social media is giving them bad market. Why would I in this 21st century wait for weeks for my uncle to receive my letter of intent to come for holidays and also wait for weeks again to receive his approval or refusal? Just dial his number and in minutes get his response. NIPOST make una sorry ooooo. 2 Likes |

I don't think whining about the situation will make anything better, right now, it is impossible to go back to the days when you have to wait for days even weeks for nipost to send your letter before you can communicate. social media has it advantages and also disadvantages, what is left is for us to manage the situation with conscious and sustainable efforts |
