And which Nigerian language can the American woman speak? TexasR:China became what it's today because everyone speaks perfect English. And please tell that little voice in your head that it lied when it told you that Americans speak and write grammatically correct English.They don't. Get close to them and you will notice how careless they're with their spoken English even though it's their native language. The idiot Op wants us to speak and write what will please them Huh? You go there, you speak English to them. They come here you still speak English to them. Who them be sef? 201 Likes 5 Shares |

Does spoken English makes one illiterate? So what about those that can speak Correct English but can't speak their language? #Its all about communication, if you can hear and understand me, then its OK. 87 Likes 4 Shares |

/ I am more worried about Nnadi Goodluck than the faceless American woman. Nigerians write "am" while Americans write "ain't" and English folks say something that sounds like "innit". Big deal! Nnadi needs to get a life. \ 28 Likes |

We need to define illiteracy first, it really has nothing to do with the way or how anyone speaks a language. It has to do more with an ability to READ, and not necessarily in ENGLISH. Like a poster said, which of the Nigerian languages can the Americana read or speak. Let's stop fooling ourselves. It's absolutely wrong to start a sentence with "am" but it shouldn't be used as a criteria to judge Nigerians as illiterates. I'm open to critics though 17 Likes 1 Share |

I'm glad to know that someone else has also noticed this flaw The irony of the whole thing is that the vast majority of Nigerians are ignorant and insist on going the wrong way by starting a sentence with the word "Am" 4 Likes |
