Blackheritage: I am proud my name and culture.... Its really a black heritage.

Upon all d years of colonianism, 90% of yorubas still maintain their status quo (names) and not name there wards in oyinbo names like some other tribes of dis country. Infact, I make jest of some of youruba friends that bears williams, George, Salvage n rest... I tell them that them grand papas na oyinbo slaves, them oyinbo give new name

Inweh Akpevwe: There is more 2 d strike dan wat it seams ... ASUU is hiding sumtin frm 9jirians... So after d meetin wit d president, min of edu, min of finance, e.t.c... They r stil nt yet satisfied... God dey watch una oooo... D law of karma stil holds oooo

ferdimako: You're as bad as your lecturers..........why would they bother to improve? Look at your words.

theoctopus: We will not support ASUU. they are on a cheap blackmail campaign

prof.femi:
You are so sure of this. And yet, when I asked what you could do to prevent or reduce ASUU's excesses, no answer came from you...

demelza: She could do us all a favour by staying there and not returning to earth.

Oghos1: Slyva!!! not here, not now. Biko

caseless: i'v drawn d op's attention to that. D example and d questions appear 'jumbled' to me.

caseless: i did appreciate ur piece and also told u that i never knew those 'examples' u gave were wrong , and this is what anoda poster was asking me point and i replied him. Any wahala?

example: “When did John died?” what is wrong
with it? And what can be done to make it right?

Elevation: Nice one,the issue of good grammar shouldnt be handled with levity,it needs enthusiasm.Humans in general and young adults in particular should develop themselves in lexis and structure,spelling and diction,irrelevant abbreviations should be discouraged during communication because it negatively affects good spelling skills.

Oghos1: The sentence structure is perfect miss

caseless: o boy, i taya oo. Read the OP's write-up again and u'd see wher he used them as his examples.

example: “When did John died?” what is wrong
with it? And what can be done to make it right?

Mickey7: "If u asked me I would say..." or "if u ask me I will say..."

Oghos1: then point out the mistake in 'grammar' there

Oghos1: Lol. That sentence is actually grammatically ok. But "commonsensically", itz poor

#me@:
hw sould it be?

aaronson: Abeg na watin una dey talk,if una wan learn english meet mr patrick make him teach una how to communicado with english

caseless: Oboi, thank u oo! I think i've learnt a thing or two from this thread.
I never knew that "what is wrong with it"
and "and how can we make it right" defy the rules and are wrong.
I think these are nigerian 'inventions' cos we've helped to foster english language by introducing 'lines' u can never hear the native speakers of english
use in their country.
