Normal just imagine that a Chinco defeat Yoruba/Igbo in their dialects nah we dey carry English for head. One thing you can't take away from South Americans is how they pride in their language

Has he reported himself? We talk too much as man. Always Cho Cho Cho and chest beating.

I'll only take him seriously if he returns

He tried but should keep his promise.

He tried!

But next time, don't be too sure of yourself as you never can tell the ability of your opponent.



You're forgiven!
how was he not sure of himself?

Lol 😂 😂 😂 😂

Talking too much was saying he'll deport himself if he fails to beat the Briton. He didn't defeat the Briton. Will he now deport himself? We know he loves the land and wouldn't try that. Classic tale of cho cho cho!!!

He would've challenged him without adding a clause to it. Some Nigerians talk too much.

In socio linguistics and Applied linguistics the environment is very important in shaping one eloquence and fluency in speaking a language because haven't having the inner ability known as LAD he come in counter with the language through social behavior or activities. Indicatively, this inverable shows that a child will learn English language in Britain as an L1 and L2 giving him the advantage ahead of who is learning it as only L2 as the case may be in Nigeria to help ascertain that the speaker can only be a native like speaker through performance and grammaticality. But for a Britain he will be a native speaker through Acceptability and competence so it is not possible for a Nigerian born and raised here to speak eloquent and fluent English than a Britain.

He proved his point. He scored 79 by a loss of 4 points to a native speaker and that proves a point. He also clearly stated that they couldn't come to terms on all the tests that could have favoured him.

He won and those of you ridiculing him should be ashamed of yourself. He's fighting for us all by trying to save us the mental stress and money most European countries extort from us in the name of fees for English proficiency test.

The guy was too sure of the outcome of the event. But he was wrong.

He lost to the opponent.


He miscalculated.
Re: Briton Wins English Proficiency Challenge Against Nigerian by mastermaestro(m): 10:54pm On May 19, 2025
The Briton should be ashamed of himself. He, a native speaker, couldn't even beat the Nigerian by a reasonable margin. Just four points difference. Nigerians aren't pushovers after all. Kudos bro!

Competing with an English man in an English language test is wild.

was he trying to prove that he can speak english or he was trying to prove that nigerians can speak english?

what has talking too much got to do with being a nigerian?

the british man that said nigerians can barely speak english, was he talking too little?

He tried though but he shouldn't have sworn about it.

Let's assume that someone that is not an African, is telling you that he can speak Urhobo fluently in every angle.

Even if it's a little thing, you will use it to win the person.
