A language is a way of communication. Make we popularize our own too. Its time we take our own version of English language to the rest of the world like the native speakers have been doing to us over the past years. Its now a two way thing not a one way street. You bring to us we take to you shikina. Nigerian English is a goal. |

Let no one come to tell me my English language is not correct, just like I've always said, what matters most when speaking is communication. Once you are communicating, I beg just leave the rest for the bookworm to justify. We no send them. If I call fork, Bleep, I beg do not try to correct me except for if you don't understand what I mean, cuz that is the moment I will tell you that I am not communicating. Peace and congratulations to all Nigerians. |
