I don't quite agree with you on this . I would rather say it is " inferiority complex " that do make informal educated people to feel intimidated by their formally educated counterparts . Knowledge-wise , in a particular area of study , I will take a thoroughly informally educated person any-day-any-time over a formally educated counterpart that only knows how to use his/her mastery of the lingua franca to gloss his/her ignorance . Show me a half baked formally educated person and I will show you an empty vessel - pride is the order of the day among our so called formally educated lots , knowledge-wise in their chosen areas of specialization , they have nothing to offer . I am writing this , in my position as an employer of labor , based on the experiences I have had from both entities under discussion here .

The truth is that , there is a difference between education and illiteracy . There is a higher chance for someone who's informally educated in a multi-ethnicity country like ours to be illiterate in our national lingua franca . Take for instance , an informal educated building technologist ( brick layer ) , let me assume that your local dialect is Igbo language same as the this guy . Now , this kind of person may lack the ability to express himself properly in English language , so also would he find it hard to present his acquired knowledge in the filed of building technology in the queens language . But , I bet you , when you engage him in discussion in your local dialect and hear him talk and lecture you about his specialized field of knowledge in the local dialect in which he was taught the work , you would be amazed at the level of knowledge and wisdom he has . This is also applicable to roadside car mechanics .

Summary of my analysis above is this ; one can be illiterate in a particular language and at the same time be educated albeit informally . So , life is all about packaging - education and wisdom does it all . You can package that illiterate man in English language , to become the literate man you want him to be in any language of your choice , as long as he has wisdom and is educated ( formally/informally ) . South African president , Jacob Zuma comes to mind , he never had formal education , but you dare not tell me that someone like him is an illiterate , no . I hope you get my drift .

You do have a point.
For some of us, we will never realize this until we've taken some time off to have an intro/retrospective look at things.
