O boy, listen to the articulate use of the English language by these gentlemen. But if you hear some so-called lecturers speak English in our present day universities, even in the English language department, you'll be feeling like muzzling them. 18 Likes 1 Share |

Intellectuals like Wole Soyinka,Chinua Ichebe should have been the ones running the country after we got independence in 1960. Instead we got the OBJ,IBB,Abacha,Abdusalami,Buhari,GEJ and yet we wonder why the country is a failed state. 10 Likes 1 Share |

hucienda:That's to show you how far we have DETERIORATED. IF you hear OJUKWU speak, you will be marvelled. The striking thing is that Ojukwu spoke Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa fluently. These were INTELLIGENT MEN... IF you hear TAFAWA BALEWA speak, you would wonder how people from that side voted Buhari into power.. Tafawa Balewa was sound upstairs.... See Confidence and Comportment. Abeg how did we degenerate to this stage...? Watching this propelled tears down my face, especially when I remember some governors that have traversed some states across Nigeria. 11 Likes |

To be fair to our generation the NIGERIAN ACCENT HAS DEVELOPED along a different trajectory since the colonialists left. I think we should celebrate it. If you listen to the recordings of that generation there was little trace of what is now recognised as a Nigerian accent . In this recording the Nigerians didn't sound much different from the South African Bear in mind that Soyinka's training was in drama and I would imagine than entails voice training at an intense level If you listen to later recordings of Achebe,Soyinka and Ojukwu you would see that they changed over time without necessarily losing clarity . I don't think we should go back to that. Just like Americans diverged from their original British accents with time we have diverged from the colonial accent 1 Like 1 Share |
