The poster's English gan is "very suspect"

You forget we do not have articulate leaders in Nigeria anymore.

Nnamdi Azikiwe, Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello were clearly articulate in the way they discussed matters.

Ojukwu continues to be an articulate elder.

Nigeria has definitely regressed.

The hell it is! You need English lessons.

What do you mean by it's "very suspect"?

What's the diff between "very suspect" and "very suspicious"? Oga teacher, mo serious pelu kwesian yen.

you must be jobless.you woke up at 4 am only to post that someone's english is suspect.sad you are a product of imperialism.oyinbo na another man language. otondo

Ileke-IdI:

You guys need to let go of the "English is the oyinbo's language" excuse. It has been watered down enough. If you need to rebel against the white man's language, stay in your village where you're educated in your native language and stay away from politics where English is deemed one of the official language. Go and start selling puff puff by the roadside, then no one would attempt to scrutinize your English language.

@op and ileke backside

you are big fooooools.cant you pple stop judging individuals based on their ability to speak english.is that what will solve naija's problems?.basic essence of language is for communication,as long as one can communicate then shikena.you have been sold into slavery and i pity you.today the most successful new age musician is tuface.you people abuse him.yet many of you moving english dictionary have achieved a tenth of his achievement.

Ileke-IdI:

ROTFLMAO! I laff sotey. So why didn't you rebel against this slavery mentality when you were in school ehn? Now after learning from others that you didn't get your money's worth, it now becomes "slavery" mentality.

evilspirit:

go to your village and tell them you deserve chieftancy title because your English is impeccable.vote for okotie na sebi he can speak english

semid4lyfe:

Isn't it funny?. . .ileke-idi is a master of the White Man's language but can't speak her native Yoruba very well.

By the way, the OP is right about Ribadu's English.

Jarus posted a thread on it not too long ago

ROSSIKE:

Ribadu's Spoken English Is Very Suspect

Was just watching an interview with this guy, and I must say he needs to brush up on his diction. Anybody that's aspiring to lead this country must be well spoken, articulate, and linguistically sound.

Ribadu has a lot of work to do to get to that point.

KenGali:

Am not a fan of Ribadu, but it is really pitiable and annoying at the same time to keep hearing the young generation of Nigeria, keep repeating a colonial bondage on how the ability to succeed is in speaking Impeccable English. What a wasted 50 years of independence! May be Chinese are leading today due to how good there leaders speak English?

violent:


I am ready to bet my last penny that you wouldn't tolerate any of your kids speaking Engerissh in the place of English. If so, why not live by what you preach?

Ileke-IdI:

Of all the insults in the world, this one I will not take.
And you ASSUMED that I can't speak Yoruba very well how? I'm prolly even more fluent than you gan sef.

Hmmm, sorry. . .I meant to say you don't understand Yoruba as well as you understand English
