9jaRealist: The 10 - 15 year doesn’t count. Most of us had the opportunity of having parents speaking English, opportunity of going to good schools where speaking of good English is enforced. If you are studying law for example, they know that English is a critical aspect of your profession and you definitely have that as one of your core courses. 2 Likes |

OBoy50: Very bad, very bad sir. It was posted earlier that kids of today are lacking of critical thinking, Op posted how bad people like you are unable to write good English, despite the fact that, vast majority of people like you are boasting to be graduates. Now you confirmed it already, sending you to school is totally waste of resources, ........no single logical responses on any thread but to write jargons. |

harsysky: A lot of people are like you but they didn't even try to improve on their spoken English. In my secondary school I could write any English I could imagine but speaking was a great problem because I rarely speak the language. I attended a public secondary school where we rarely speak English. Pre-university, the only time I spoke very good English were the 2 years I spent in a private primary school. The university coupled with my church, RCCG changed everything for me tho. It's either you speak English or you keep quiet or you end up embarrassing yourself because people will question your quality of education as a young fellow if you speak bad English in those environments and they also encourage the proper usage of the language. It's one of those reasons why I love mingling with non-yoruba people, I enjoy speaking English and pidgin with them. The English language do frustrate me atimes tho, especially the Nigerian English we speak. Personally I still prefer yoruba. I must confess sha, having good command of English language will increase your confidence especially in today's Nigeria compared to when you have a bad command of it especially as a graduate. I still dey shoot gun small small sha but I no dey shake. 4 Likes |

It depends on where you live & the language you use for interaction mostly when you were young... Some people can speak, but can't write without errors, while others can't speak fluently but can write like prof.. Moreover, not all those fluent speakers are grammatically right. ..people just judge them based on their fluency |

Charly68: Stop that thing! Private schools have a way of making kids feel superior because of their good English but aside from the English, they are just as good as those that attended a public school. Summary is, you can speak fluent English and still be poorly educated. 1 Like |

bewise24: Is there speaking exercise in WAEC/NECO.? Or do you know how many People had C6 Or is it the schools with chronic cheating habit.. heheheheh. I rest my case.. I have seen none English speaking students that will little fluency in English become top in their class where English is used. Good English is not is not equal to Education Education is not equal to good English.. That is just my point. Let us not stress this.. and I will say it again.. some people that can’t speak very well can be 50times smarter than someone that can speak very well… except you haven’t seen.. but then plenty. English na language. As with any language, Id you picked it up at an early age, perfect for you… The environment doesn’t even allow it.. everywhere na pidgin and local language. That is why they speak Yoruba | Ibo | Hausa fluently without spending 15 years in school.. it is a language and not a test of knowledge. |
