Nairalanders always think everything is about how much money you can get immediately. Just to learn a few things and get your vocabulary up to standard, people are here talking about money. Will good English speaking skills prevent one from getting money? Or do people get paid for not knowing English?

You can get a job just by having a respectable command of the English language.

But no. Money money money. Every time, you people will gather to type rubbish, all the English you refused to know, how much money has it gotten you? Some of you are just averse to anything concerning knowledge.

Nice to know but good English don't pay bills.
Why bother over wrong usage of Grammer when most academic scholars are either being governed or employed by average level English users or even illiterates.

My late uncle was a notable English Language lecturer but nothing to show for it.
We should pay more attention to being able to have a basic knowledge of communicating in English and acquiring valuable skills, being the best in our respective hustles rather than perfecting our usage of white man's language.

Trump is not good in English language and spellings yet he's the no one citizen of the world.

Buhari isn't an English Scholar yet he's the president of the largest country in Africa.

Dangote, Adenuga, Innoson, Alakija and others too numerous to mention know nothing about correct use of English yet they are more influential than all the English scholars and lecturers combined.

Even Pastorpreneurs commit grammatical blunders yet English scholars clamour to gain their attention.
Even Odumeje with his battle with English is wining and dining with Governors.

So why bother myself with where to place "is" and "was"

Na wao

Sha know that until you're in the same place as those men you cited, you may have to be in your best self in certain company of people to create a good impression that might just take you to places. Especially in written communication

The bold is weird. 'Possibly' perhaps? Or just 'best'?

Robert Kiyosaki once said: "if someone invites you to join an investment business, join the business even if you don't know what it is all about. But be patient and learn the process gradually and relentlessly. Remain there even if it takes you 1 - 6 months to be successful in it because when the benefits begin to flow, you will NEVER be the same person ever again." People don't have the patience to build a business for 3 years. But they have the patience to go to work for 40 years. It's crazy how some people feel that 1-2 years in a business is a long time to get rich. However, don't feel that 40 years at a job is a long time to stay broke.

Well the people I mentioned weren't born into their respective current glorious position. They climbed into it by hard work and being the best in their hustles not by speaking English Grammar to impress anyone.

Today I will be deliberating on some grammatical error in our spoken English, you will agree with me that English is not our mother’s tongue but since we are opportune to speak and write it I guess we should do it well.

Below are list of some grammatical we speak everyday, do good by practicing them and am assuring you, you will speak well.

1: Don’t say the food is peperish – The food is peppery.

2: Don’t say, She delivered a baby boy – She was delivered of a baby boy.

3: Don’t say Traveling bag – Travel bag

4: Don’t say he is matured – He is mature

5: Don’t say the reason is because – The reason is that.

6: Don’t say my stuffs – My stuff.

7: Don’t say night vigil – Vigil.

8: Don’t say I want to barb my hair – I want to cut my hair.

9: Don’t say Escape goat – A Scape goat.

10: Don’t say I will try my possible best – I will try my best possible.

11: Don’t say I was beaten by the rain – I was drenched.

12: Don’t say I have a shoe – I have a pair of shoe.

13: Don’t say you are taking it too personal – You are taking it personally.

Hello is a general way of greeting, even with or without, to be more polite and mature I will advised you greet the person like Good morning/evening or Good day , since we are used to the word Hello while not put it this way eg Hello Good morning/evening or Good day.

Most times we don’t apply courtesy and we kind of lack manners even if its our elders calling us, we just pick the call and say hello, without even greeting and is very wrong..

Ways to enhance our spoken English .
1: Read educative books like novels.

2: Always jot down new words and look for them in the dictionary later.

3: You can download dictionary in your smartphone for easy access or you can have it at home.

4: Learn how to position your verb in a sentence its very important.

5: Always practice what you have learnt, remember Practice make progress
