Nigerians are too full of themselves, and this explains it. Dem show you shege now, caption don change. The Briton was on his own o when this jester said he would defeat him. I mean, there are better ways to convey your response to an offensive post.

This dude probably studied English to a Master's level, and he thinks that's enough to challenge a native Englishman? Why not have a contest between a British illiterate and a Nigerian illiterate. That's a fair game. 😭

That's how you people will be boasting about how Ijaws are better swimmers than Australian divers/swimmers. Same way you people always have a better and faster runner in your village and community grammar school than Usain Bolt. 🤣 If not for the internet, many of you would think that Obi Cubana is the richest man in the world. 😭😂

By the way, this is the true caption. Nairaland and faux/fake captions and news! 👇👇

One brought the termination of dependant visa with his wa wa wa mouth.

One engineered the recent white paper with her cohorts which made the ruling party propose a 10years route to residency.

And now, one has gone to do cho cho cho on English proficiency because he graduated from University of Derby.

You people will not leave English people and their system. They never forced us to come to the UK, please.

Did you read the foolish tweet from the Briton that provoked the challenge?
I'm very sure even you would have overlooked it and moved on with your life.
But he just wanted to show himself.
Besides, he promised to return to Nigeria should he lose.
He must honour that promise!

grin grin grin I've explained this before but lol

Bye chief, 👋👋👋👋 😂
Can you show where you were asked to explain?

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

2. What has talking too much got to do with being a nigerian?

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

Yet, the English native could only do better by only 4 points against a foriegner on his own language and you are exhibiting your hate bigotry and foolishness disguise as being correct. If that is not shameful i do not know what is.

What English language were your fathers speaking that we can not attain today ?!
Don't mind the werey..


Plus the funny thing about werey people like this is that.... they always seem to forget the essence of language... Understanding and communication is all there is to any language. Even if you can speak all the English in the world and no one can understand you, you're not communicating and maybe you'll "develop sense" when you die of thirst because no one understands you're asking for a drink. Even the mute have their own language, animals too... Communicating is all there is to it all...

But the test was supposed to be in 4 parts, they only did two which makes it inconclusive. So our naija brother can renege on his vows.
Re: Briton Wins English Proficiency Challenge Against Nigerian by Segzy19: 8:14am On May 20, 2025
He asked that they be tested in 4 domains of speaking, writing, listening and reading. He added that if the white guy wins he would leave England reading but they only did 2 out of it.... So Bro remains in England...

Even at the two tests they did, Mr Englishman managed to win just with 4 points. Naija man tried!

The Briton won without even practicing unlike the Nigerian dude who has been practicing and learning English language for decades.

Dude the Britons owned English and can defeat anyone without even practicing or preparing ahead
Did you see the Nigerian practising while the Briton partied all the through the night before the
test? Be calming down.

It is just so so funny... In spite of the fluency and proficiency of our Nigerian actors and actresses in English language... Anytime the Western media are about to cast a Nigerian in any movie, what you hear is rough, uncouth English like kunta kinte's English in ROOTS...

Oga u were taught English language in school bah, this is to widen Ur knowledge in English language. The Nigerian dude was taught English language in school since his nursery,.same for other Africans. Unlike Britons who owned English! If it was a Spanish or French man now I for dey hear, but not a Briton!

The British colonized literally all countries so wetin u dey talk? Were you expecting the Nigerian dude to have won the Briton before? I'm even surprised the Nigerian scored this high!

Congratulations to my Naija Brother.

As far as I am concerned the he has clearly passed the message to that Briton and indeed other Britons.

I am sure the Briton would be stunned and will be thanking his God that he won by those 4 points.

By the way, why didn't the Briton score 98 or even 100 as per NATIVE English speaker. Naija guy gave him a run for his money, jooor!
Did you read where the article say the test was divided into four parts and the Nigerian excelled in just 2 ? That's to say the score was a generous one.

You are the one who need to read the post again because the test was done based only on two out of four parts.

Dude, both the Nigerian and the Briton were taught English language in school. Spoken English, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa or Swahili is different from the formal written form. Ok?
Re: Briton Wins English Proficiency Challenge Against Nigerian by ElSudani: 12:28pm On May 20, 2025
At 4 points difference both of them are at the same level of proficiency.
Meaning it is not true that Nigerians can barely speak English, maybe some but then English is not our language.

And I presume that the Briton did that without even much practice.
I think sometimes we are just too loud and competitive for our own good.

Everything no be chochocho.
If he had won, I am sure you won't type this. Nigeria and inferiority complex. I really don't understand how you could elevate someone who claims the English Language is his own language and yet scored 83. Just 4 points more, when he could have done better. Do I need to practice my native language before a challenge if I truly speak that language?

We are still not free from mental slavery. It's sad.

Na US I know say doz one English no straight dere English no dey coret...
Since wey dem don born am and he scored 83. That's shameful. 4 points above someone whom you downgraded. It's a big shame and nothing to celebrate but people like you with inferiority complex won't see this.

There is a need to prove a point that you know the language too. It's obvious from the contest that even the native speaker is not any better than the Nigerian.

Challenging a British nonentity to a language test on Twitter is how you want to defend Nigerian medical practitioners abroad? Una too funny for this country. You no see Abike Dabiri or the CIA political touts with drug issues oversea?

Your comment just confirms the mental slavery because this comment is quite different from your previous comment and my response was based on your previous comment. Why are you shifting post when my response shows how obvious your mental slavery is.
Re: Briton Wins English Proficiency Challenge Against Nigerian by ihustler(m): 7:46am On May 21, 2025
Which ever way you want it...

We have tried enough speaking and writing another man's language and being caricatured for that...

How many times do you laugh or make mockery of someone trying to speak your language and dialect...?

I am sure you hardly ever do that...



blowjohn:
Speaking is different from writing.

The greatest rappers do not exhibit the proficiency of the English language when they speak.

Nas talks like a novice.
But his penmanship and use of the English language is unparalleled in music artist history....

ElSudani:
Nonsense, the white folks didn't speak any African language before they divided Africa up like a birthday cake.
it is foolish to challenge someone in his own language.

Anyway, my job entails speaking with Oyibo all day long…..and I often encounter those who would not let me attend to them…..because I have an accent. Unfortunately, due to my good upbringing I can’t tell them my mind. If I were allowed to tell them my mind, I would remind them that I am better than them by far. I conquered my own language (which they would never conquer) now I am speaking and interacting with them in their own language. If they feel so great, let them try learning my language let me see if they will learn it…..talk more of speaking it with an accent
