The Americans speak far worse English than we do, So it's the Nigerian English, let's speak it the way we like it.

@OP Nigerian English is different from British or American English...leave us alone

I disagree with your number 2. There is a difference between stew and sauce. They can both stand alone. The 2 lines are therefore correct.

Stew -- A stew is a combination of solid food ingredients that have been cooked in liquid and served in the resultant gravy. Ingredients in a stew can include any combination of vegetables (such as carrots, potatoes, onions, beans, peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes) and may include meat, especially tougher meats suitable for slow-cooking, such as beef, poultry, sausages, and seafood.

Sauce -- In cooking, a sauce is a liquid, cream, or semi-solid food, served on or used in preparing other foods. Most sauces are not normally consumed by themselves; they add flavor, moisture, and visual appeal to a dish.

You've obviously not heard about Nigerian English before ehn? Even Google sef haf recognised it.

Who get time to be speaking correct English in Nigeria.
Our daily activities is already stress,we want come add grammar again... hiaaaa, thanks though

Op, the "while" you used in number one sentence is grammatically wrong in that context. It should be "when" youre coming back because the clause is an adverb of time.>>> "when" = "time" he'll be coming back from school. So correct it.

God go punish English!!!

And for the oversabi ones that say cemera instead of camera

op I think you fall in this category because you ended up making mistakes thinking you're correct.

I disagree with 2 and 6. Bros, if you hear the way Americans murder English ehn, you will leave us alone. Imagine this statement ''I got enough money for yous''. OR ''I is sick 'o you''. OR ''It don't matter''. All these are wrong English statements but already accepted as normal/correct. So leave us alone to speak our own type of English.

That ya number 9 depends oo "in time" "eventually"
