Stop Asking Nigerians To Write IELTS (Petition) by lalasticlala(m): 2:05pm On Jan 26, 2022 |
Why should Nigerians be made to write English language proficiency examinations that cost more than thrice our minimum wage ($210) and the result expires every two years? https://www.change.org/p/dear-uk-home-office-stop-asking-nigerians-to-write-english-proficiency-tests-reformieltspolicy-now?utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=custom_url&recruited_by_id=4ae01240-731c-11ec-92af-999cd4365cd8 Previous thread: https://www.nairaland.com/6940265/ielts-uk-money-spinning-venture-rips 100 Likes 9 Shares

SECONDED, because English is the primary medium of instruction in Nigeria at all levels of education, We don't need IELTS at all. Most or if not all Caribbean countries do not take the English test so why should African colonies do? We are still signing the petition as we type. More signatures needed from sane, honest and hardworking Nigerians. BUT on the other hand, Looking at things from the other perspective (Typical Of Dem MANNA, that do not go jorojarajoro on an issue, May Baba 70 soul continue to Rest in PerfectPeace. ) The English spoken and written by Nigerians, in recent times, is terrible and getting WORSE. We look at the writing and comments from Heads of Schools, even private schools in Nigeria and we are shocked and dismayed. You see things like "why did you CRIED", when did you BOUGHT it", the past and present tenses never agree. The same time spent watching BBNaija should be spent learning the Use of English! CcLib airsaylongcome: WoundedLamb:Lol Chairman, You even got the time to explain basic English to these kids in here. We have come to realized that replying them is just a waste of time and space, Hence we ignoring such entities. Thanks for teaching him the basics. That is social media for you, A place where some uncultured kids abuse those the age of their parents. The best thing is just to ignore and move on. We found out that ignoring them kills them more . How many mentions are we even gonna reply, A quater of the mentions you see below (screenshot attached) are from this trolls and nonentities, While the remaining 75% are from our clients, friends and well wishers on Nairaland. Thanks for the heads-up sir. And thanks for taking your time out to school the kiddo. Do have a wonderful year ahead! One Love. 41 Likes 4 Shares

Yes, these people have been milking Nigerians and other African countries for long with this their rubbish test. Who made English the lingua franca of Nigeria? With English the ligua franca, they are still compelling Nigerians to write it on a biannual basis. 12 Likes 1 Share |

lalasticlala: Nigerians are actually deficient in English especially the new generation. Just read articles on Nairaland. A good example is the common use of the word "staffs" instead of "staff" I have noticed that Ghanaians and south African countries Zambia, Tanzania etc have a better grasp of English than Nigerians. Dont assume when speaking to a young Nigerian that they actually understand what you are saying. Nigerians have a habit of hearing one word and construing another meaning to it. Today Someone was trolling me because he clearly did not understand the meaning of the word "viable". I can understand loose use of English on the internet and social media (we all do it) but my issue is a lot of Nigerians dont actually understand the meaning or proper use of everyday English words. While we all speak in English it is sometimes difficult to communicate with the typical Nigerian in English. Very often I have to ask my staff to repeat what I just said so I know they understood what I meant. We've also bastardized so many words that very often when you use a word as intended, it is interpreted differently by many Nigerians. 22 Likes 1 Share |

IELT should be scrapped for Nigerians, I have been studying English language right from my primary school days to university level. English is my official language of communication because i dare not speak my mother tongue or pidgin during official hours because it would be termed a vernacular . As a matter of fact i have interacted with a lot of those so called white English speaker both orally and writing and i can tell you I write better English than them. #Saynotoexploitation 25 Likes |

We really have misplaced priorities in this country sha. So of all our problems in the country IELTS is what we should be protesting about? With the terrible English we speak and write in this country? You see people say "I base in Owerri" or "Am from Ibadan" or the really horrible one of "Are my to bring my credentials along?" Even those that think they are very elite will drop a bombshell of "I will pay installmentally " We speak a variant of English that is non-standard. We need to be evaluated to see if we speak and write the standard variants. Many of us can identify the standard variant if written but a large percentage of Nigerians cannot speak or write standard English (myself included) 17 Likes 2 Shares |
