@OP.Nigrians are very proud people including yours truly and not just grammerwise.
We just feel on top of the world all round. I am still tryign to find out the reason why.
Maybe a Black thing.

i wonder why people always think they'r perfect.why not remove the log from your eyes before even think of removing the spec from another's.it's very frustrating when one claims to know much yet ends up displacing idiocity of the highest order.

Another reoccuring despicable act portrayed by Nigerians mainly On NL here is the incessant shower of abuse in the course of correcting someone, jxt xplain the stuff to the person and leave the insults behind!

Such case was even seen happening at the front page of this thread!

Hey, lets get straight here. its human to resist change so what's the big deal.
There are better things to spend our time on like learning how to use the internet, and harness ICT to achieve our dreams. I know of one that i'm currently enjoying and you can do the same too!

@OP

Grammatical corrections in a public forum seem funny to say the least. Be ready to correct thousands of people comments at a time.

GOOD LUCK!

@Pinkrex,Its wrong and completely stupid to correct someone because of wrong use of English language.Nigerians cant even speak their local languages very well and no one corrects them.Go to Europe and learn how Englsih language has been simplified even with errors but nobody give a damn.Hardly you will find and Italian speaking English to each other or a German,they only try to speak English when you dont understand their langauge or when they are outside their country.

Nigerians will even correct the way you dress if let them or the way you eat.Some people are just born tyrants!

why do we like comparing ourselves to other people for God's sake!

Like someone said here , its our thing, I do not like to do that tho but if a Canadian sees you do something bizarre, they will make fun of you when you re gone and gossip bout it, wouldnt you prefer to be corrected instead? did I make any sense ?

I love my people. smiley
Nigerians are very friendly and accommodating as far as i am concerned but when it comes to typing on NL we tend to have altered ego.

You can't blame her. The thread title is misleading. What the thread starter meant was "Why Don't Nigerians Like Their
English To Be Correct."

And, many have wished her success on her self appointed journey. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin
