Olu is not fair o,so u bring my matter here,don't ever come to me again,i don't need ur help,so u don't know I dey nairaland.

HenryDion:
If he's not ready to learn, you're merely wasting your time.

Even those with learning disability can become professionals in their respected fields if they are dedicated.

The dude is not yet ready to sit his ass down. You can take the camel to a river, but you can't force it to drink!

If you're crushing on him, better kill that yeye crush and look for someone that will add value to your life.

This person will only bring you down!!!

My one cent!

It's a common phenomenon in Nigeria. That guy would eventually graduate with "helps" and become unemployable tomorrow or even a bad entrepreneur if he doesnt address the issue now. Now that he has opened up, his problem is half solved.


Let him get Queens premiere and brighter grammar book 1 to 4 as well as start using YouTube to learn to read and write sensibly. He could search for "reading in english for beginners", "writing in English for beginers", etc...The guy will learn how to read well within 1 year if he stays consistent and thank you for being such a good friend. A problem shared is half solved, all that remains is his own resolve to resolve the matter

By the way, I grew up in the north, speak really good English with a little trace of the northern tongue but didnt really learn to read until I was in primary 4. Afterwards, I read almost everything

godfrey02:


How does being born again has to do with reading.. if they can read their bible what's In handout they can't read..
We go dash you the guy as bf.....

Mutemenot:
I have a similar experience with a room mate then, he's a handsome and well loved guy.. he speaks better but my guy would walk pass his name if written in capital letters.... He uses Google voice to read messages... thanks to voice note, that is his no one saviour, I once asked him to explain yo me what the pro is...He told me he performed well in his secondary sch.... both in reading n writing but suddenly the knowledge disappeared ..

He's most likely having a learning disability called dyslexia. Go read more on it and see support communities your friend can benefit from

CharisEleos:


And...what has born-again got to do with Someones inability to read and write? Just listen to yourself.

Are pastor Adeboye, Oyedepo and Chris not born-again? Don't you know their educational background and how majority of them are authors of powerful Christian books?

You just wanted to make fun of born-agains but ended up making no sense.

bigtt76:


For some reasons many can read the bible but can't read any other book ...I don't know why. They can also speak very good English or so it may sound to listeners but they can't actually decipher what they mean.

It may because they read along with the pastor during church service and are able to make their way through reading it on their own but can't do so with any other book.

As for dashing me as BF ...won't mind and would've helped him improved more

CeokRicchezza:
Do you know phonics? If you don't, try to read up on phonics and study the 42 sounds and use that to teach him how to read. Queen premier won't help him at all. All you need is a good instructor or yourself that can explain how sounds works. From there, he will be able to pick words by listening to the sounds

illicit:
Is he a native speaker?

How did he get to pass sch exams, WAEC and JAMB UTME anyway

He needs a specialist

lambszy:


True.
I advised him, to see the students counselling unite, he was advice to get a Bible believing Church for prayers.
Which he did but we are still here.

lambszy:
Good morning guys,

Please, help me to help a friend.

I have tried everything possible within my capacity to help this guy but to no avail.
My friend is 22 and currently in one of the federal polytechnic here in Nigeria. This guy can speak good english well but the problem is he can not read nor write, the only thing he can write down is his name and Reg. No.

Last year, before first semester exam. I noticed that this guy is always avoiding conversation that involves reading or studying. I never saw him read, not even once. We are neighbours and friends.

I just decided to take it upon myself to find out what was wrong as I know, he is a good person but hiding something. So I offered to be helping him with his assignments and handout summary to my amazement the guy find it hard to read what I smartly asked him to. He refused to admit that he can't read, probably he was a shame to admit it, so I let him be.

He, then finally opens up to me about him not been able to read and write. Of course, this was after first semesters exam and I had to perster him before he was able to tell me of his secret. How have you been writing the exam then? I asked, he said "I submit blank paper" when the result came out he had 6 COs (carry overs).

Again, I offered to help. I did all his assignments, encourage him to write something in all his test, He improved on his CA and others except for reading as I told him to at list write some thing down.even if it means coping from someone siting next to him without getting caught, I'm not encouraging exam malpractice but he needed help urgently.

Now here's my major challenge and concern, Since January this year, I have used Queen's Premier, used other English materials, vowel and consonant sound

The only thing he's been able to read are just few two letter words. Thought I was the problem, so I lied to a friend who happens to be a lecturer that the guy needs help, and that he's finding it hard to understand his books. The lecturer agreed to help but later told the guy not to come again as the guy is still not getting any thing.

Please, help.... the guy want to learn but I don't know what exactly could be the problem.

Inputs please, I anticipate your wise advice.
Thanks.
