Dt03: I hate when people criticise someone. How many of you have ever talked in public television? Let's learn to appreciate.

Dt03: I hate when people criticise someone. How many of you have ever talked in public television? Let's learn to appreciate.

criticism aint a bad thing as long as u are a public figure people must criticize.. U can only tell em to criticize with brain

i have said this so many times the fact that some ppl can surf the net thru their bbs does not mean they are intelligent or sensible.a perfect example is the person the brought this issue up.i work with chinese ppl and they speak the most horrible english but they get their ideas across and get the contracts.i think this guy that complains abut ikpebas english should know the victor has made a mark.the poster shuld know that his or her future is gradually melting away in idleness.

Sincerely I think we should learn to appreciate ourselves, does speaking Queens english important?a borrowed language for that matter.one can smile at it in private but not to make it a topic a forum like this.

i think the poster should be asked this question.does he feel he will ever achieve anything in his or her life time that will make an international cable tv bring him to their studios?i dont think he will if he continues criticising successful people.he will remain a nl critic for life

I wonder why people are calling for Amazing Victor's head,he never played in English speaking country dude's pardon him,Haters.

does the average american speaks deceny english language in public or been private?no is the answer.but me,do not subcriber to bad.but i put it sraight to you that you are jobless and such go play for dirty.

Omg...
Did you use google translate to post this?

Criticism is a good thing from which you can learn,correct yourself,and improve on your delivery. But being a public figure,it wouldn't be much to say i expect something better from Victor Ikpeba.

@op pls hw much do u make monthly wit ur good command of english.....abeg free d guy jooor, english is nt his birth language....

Richvkunt: Victor Ikpeba was a great footballer but he certainly is a below average football analyst.
Apart from his poor English and poor pronunciation of words,he fails to be professional in his analysis of football matches.
[b]It is so easy to notice that he is completely biased towards anything concerning Manchester United and totally obsessed with them.
On the other hand his co analyst Segun Agbede is so pro united that the two of them succeed in turning the sports chat segment into a battle between two football fans just lucky to speak into a microphone.
Next season Supersports need to up their game and get professionals to run that segment of the programme,or better leave us to watch the original analysis from the EPL studios abroad.
Right now Victor and Segun are an insult to all premium subscription holders on DSTV.
Whenever they come on I just turn down the volume of my TV set. [/b]

Finish! Not here to correct anyone about their grammar error cos i am not even perfect when it comes to English not even the Americans. but to be honest, that guy is a crazy anti-Manu fan. Thank God i don't watch SS3 anymore. Abudabi Sport do all the jobs for me.

Those of you that can't speak your mother tongue should be more ashamed of yourself. You're berating someone for his short-comings in a language that isn't his. SMH.

Na your mama born you. God bless you for this comment.

See foolish Nigerians cherishing English language while looking down on their own language and culture. Chinese and other nations are promoting their language and culture everyday. when will your white masters start speaking Yoruba,Igbo,Hausa or any other nigeria language. Dotty individuals living in a dotty nation.

Ok, that you troll in a thread created by an unemployed, nairaland gossip makes you what? Gainfully employed and discrete? Bros please...you are same as you tag me! And that you pick on "making money" tells a lot about you...and a dream that eludes you! #youBroke

Let me be frank, your post reeks of inferiority complex. So, official language is now more important that your indegenous language? The reason why Africans will keep carrying the rest of the world on their head.

Blood of Jesus!!!
With this your "hinglish", you should be classified a "handicap" in the society!

I no fit shout!

Emylexray: Abeg let the guy be!..i don't know why we Nigerians can never be proud of our own, he and Daniel are being chosen to analyse on supersport based on their rich profile as Nigerian's ex-footballers i guess, and not soley on their grammatical eloquence. Like odiero said, he is making cool money with his not-too-good English while you are still under your momma's roof feeding on garri and epa everyday with your immaculate and ''flawless'' English. Mtcheew.

Sorry, you seem to know much about me! ok ok ok! bros na u sef? The pauper that comes to clean up my garri and epa after I am done eating? No worry, come by 6pm today...i go remain small for u today!

Funny you critique my statement with attacks/insults. How civil is that? A mockery of the point you are trying to make.

pro01:

You dey mind them? Nigerians are probably the most detestable nitpickers in the world. Always making a complete mockery of themselves while purporting to mock others. Ikpeba is an accomplished footballer, and his stature as a successful footballer (and former African Footballer of the Year, for that matter) eminently qualifies him to be a football pundit. Even if his English is not as impeccable as some fastidious nitpickers expect, he certainly passes his message across in a manner that is sufficiently clear.

It must take a whole lot of self-pity and insecurity to seek validation by opening a thread to impugn people on account of how poor you think their grammar is. This is extremely ridiculous, especially because these impugned people are all-too-often more accomplished than their faceless detractors would ever be. It is even more ridiculous because the nitpickers' grammar is typically worse than that of the individual they criticise shamelessly.

That you take time out to write this epistle up makes me not faceless after all! Self pity? Please...it strikes me as though you've got serious issues of your own to air such inference from, in my opinion, a loose statement aimed not at prodding the accomplishment of the star, but for a cheap humor for the day! Loosen up kido!

ur writeup contains common mistakes in english too....

oldave: It is ok for poorly educated guys like Ikpeba,Amokachi etc to make wrong use of words intermittently. When it comes to skills, ball sense, and game interpretation, you know they have made excellent contributions globally. It is you that have problem with Language, these guys are professors in their fields.

No doubt. I cant/wont dare contest that!

tcurl: His grammar is fetching him cool cash and you are here talking about him. you no get work

you wey get work, wetin u dey find for thread wey pesin wey no get work create? Abi u don tire to dey "make your own cool cash"?

the problem with nigerians is that they are still trying to master the "queens english" instead of come to terms that just like there is "american english" there is also "nigerian english" and victor ikpeba speaks nigerian english perfectly well.

@op,

langauage is a means of communication and as long as you understood what he was saying, then he did his job. but it seems u were also mocking his accent? how do u expect a nigerian raised in nigera to speak english with a diff accent? or u are one of those nigerians who speak english with britico accent even though u were born and bred in nigeria?

odiaero: You are here crying about his grammer, and he is making his money being employed, and u are unemployed roaming around nairaland gossiping, i wonder if english is what u will eat, or english is ur birth language, tell messi to speak english too, nonsense

I feel You!
