Politicians don't even need to buy the DR any longer. If for say Mrs. Jonathan buy am, She for value am small, try go learn some English to meet up at least. Now wey na dash dem dash ha, My brodas! when she don speak finish, she go come tell you say "Do you know I'm a Doctor" or still she go write her name finish come put PhD at the end, lyk say she sabi read or write. God save my Country!

Oooshe Dr. Money Speaking Speaking, Any School E no mata mata, Sharap timba je demidemi, Den go gimme Dr Dr,

It is her luck.  After all she married GoodLuck. Many of our money mongers, are half educated, yet we worship them.

Many illiterates can speak well. She is literate, but unfortunately, she makes mistakes here and there.  We should accept her like that.  if she is our mother, we will still love her.

Shino Peters said it " English is not our language"  Some of us who claim to know all also makes mistake from time to time.

Like one over zealous friend of mine who wanted to comment about another's English, and he said

" See now, even simple English he can't spoke"

Get well soon

Hmm - on a lighter note, the late Hausa music maestro - Maman Shata was also a recipient of an honourary doctorate degree and his case was even much more severe as he was a complete illiterate.
While some argue about the academic 'know how' of the recipients, others say it is based on their contribution to societal issues at large and not necessarily on academic competence. Me think its ok for my first lady,  so long as she doesn't attend the ceremony in person cos if she does, she would have to deliver a speech which would result into something else.

@Donlittle,that was a very insane thing to have been said .
