RIP mam. I'd thought P.A. Ogundipe was a man. I donated my copies of Brighter Grammar series to my school library a few years ago. 1 Like |

I remember that time I just arrived Lagos,I couldn't read nor write.... My teacher been an Igbo woman would punish me whenever I interact with her in Igbo language because I can't speak English.....she would give me brighter grammer,master English and dictionary to practice. It was really tough for me to the extent she told one Yoruba girl back then to assist me in English language during class free period.... That book really helped me 2 Likes |

Officialgarri:Well, not exactly. It was originally written by C. E. Eckersley. After Eckersley, two other British grammarians updated it and made a new edition. Later, Ogundipe contributed to the making of an African edition of the book. 1 Like |

God rests your soul. You impacted my life and I just bought a few copies of your books from a bookshop a few weeks ago. I still don't understand why textbooks like brighter grammar and NOEC will be expunged from Nigeria list of books only to be replaced with some Mickey mouse textbooks. 1 Like |

Brighter grammar is the only textbook that teaches English language in Nigeria. But Nigerian student started struggling to pass when some desperate arthour flooded the market with their books that looks like polical campaign among rivals. I went back to brighter grammar after secondary school and I discovered that the secret to queen English was totally unlocked in the book. 2 Likes |

If all graduates of universities, Polytechnic and Colleges of Education conscientiously go through Brighter Grammar books 1-4, we would see tremendous improvement in Nigerians' English language communication. Just go through Nairaland or FB and see weird expressions. Soon they would say English is not their mother tongue. Who says competence in a foreign language diminishes your understanding of your native language? Achebe and Soyinka speak much better Igbo and Yoruba than all you 'murderers of English'. A sloppy person is sloppy everywhere. 5 Likes 2 Shares |
