Kenyan president us very wrong to say Kenyans speak better English than Nigerians. For what I know, our English speaking skill is the best in Africa.

Namaster:
Nigerians who HATE Nigerians will read this NONSENSE and use it to justify their HATE for their country.

Meanwhile, Nigerian Authors who write in English have set the BENCHMARK for literature in Africa and the World.

EVERYBODY knows China Achebe.
EVERYBODY knows Wole Soyinka.
EVERYBODY knows Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

NOBODY can name ONE author from Kenya without first searching GOOGLE.

There are NIGERIANS who speak with BRITISH ACCENTS without having step out of Nigeria.

While some people will lay ALL the blame at the feet of Nigerian Politicians, Ruto SHARES in the blame.

People in Leadership positions should know BETTER than to make STEWPID generalisations.

Ruto is a yam head but everyone in Africa and around the world knows Kenyan Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o

Nigeria cook the best jollof rice
In d whole world 🌍🤣

Like seriously, coming from a president?

Kenya ke, with terrible accent.

He forgot that Nigeria is the most educated country in Africa.

By the way, it smacks of classified ignorance making English the common denominator of good education.

I'm sure an average indian man from a country also colonized by Britain will not utter such gibberish.

He forgot that while they have Swahili as almost a national language, we have Creole which is Pidgin. So, he takes Pidgin as the bad English perhaps.

Why are Kenyans always so annoying. The ones I have here as friends feels their Europeans, opening long teeth when they see a white man. I don vex

I'm a Nigerian , and I studied Theatre Arts in imo state University owerri
Have you heard of Ngugi wo"Thiongo .
Ngugi wo"thiongo is bigger than any Nigerian writer , I place him head head with Chinua Achebe , Ngugi wo"thiongo is not just a writer , a core revolutionary with his books .. Kenyans writers are damn good, what about Ngugi wa miri ? Kenyans writers are good too

No wonder the whites call us black monkeys, see the nonsense coming outta the mouth of a so-called president of a country.



Even a secondary school student won't make this senseless statement......The whites who own the language have different accents.

Trump has produced worse gibberish. But I am saying, why should an African president from a country that has an indigenous national language and spoken against cultural imperialism promote English language in such accasion ?

Meanwhile TWO of his daughters are married to our Nigerian brothers 💘

This kind of a speech is highly disgraceful, ask him is English his native language, but boasting of a foreign language. I shake head for African leaders.

tommy589:
I was about mentioning it until I saw your post. Weep not Child remains one of the best novels I've ever read

The play,, I'll Marry When I Want. 😁
Maybe because of the Title though.

femi4:

Barack Obama no send these people even doh he was a Kenyan

Ngugi Wa Thiongo who used to be known as James Ngugi was a Kenyan writer who authored Weep not, Child. I didn't need google to get that.....

President Ruto de play ⏯️ ni ?
Instead of him to Confirm or Deny President Tinubu's Assertions that Kenya is Worse Economically than Nigeria,he was full of jesters!
SE na English we go chop?
SE na English Kenyans go Eat 🧐!
Then it means President Tinubu Statement, even though you may not like Comparison of the two Countries - is Right.

If he was referring to Buhari and co, then he was right!
Buhari basically chews his fulani tongue whenever he was talking..

Personally, I wondered a lot if other Heads of States across the world did understand Buhari during those his endless foreign trips..

Bleep you and your Arts Certificate.
I read that same book and I wander what is so special in it,
Compared to ' things fall Apart
OR
Kongi - Wole Soyinka ,
or
' The Man Died '- and have you read this one too?
And what is your Summary Of The Man Died?
I wander how Ruto takes A serious matter affecting his people as a joke 🤣!

Is.it not funny and laughable of a president bragging about their spoken ability of their slave master's language and seen such as an achievement.

See what a whole Commander in chief is using to brag!

The same for Tinubu for saying Nigerians are faring better when compared to Kenyans with the rise in Fuel prices in recent time.

As for the rest of us
We speak better English than Kenyans

Ngugi Wo'thiong'o........"Weep not, Child' is a popular Kenyan Author.
But I think Nigeria speak better English than Kenyans, both in fluency and correctness. But this is the least thing to brag about in Africa, you should brag about your own language

Nigeria 1 : 1 Kenya

Namaster:
WITHOUT Google, I did NOT know him as the author of Weep Not, Child which I've read.

And that's EXACTLY my point.

I'm an African and I still need Google to learn the identity of an apparently SUCCESSFUL Kenyan Author.

And I can assure you, I've read WAY MORE books than the average African.

Meanwhile, Chinua Achebe was still mentioned in a RECENT episode of Abbot Elementary.

My point was NOT to discredit Kenyan Authors.
It was to demonstrate that Nigerian authors who ply their trade in English Language have had more FAME and SUCCESS than their Kenyan counterparts.

What happened with your post is highly UNLIKELY to happen if you go to a Kenyan Forum and ask about Achebe, Adichie or Soyinka.

Plus, a Nigerian Girl recently won the African Spelling Bee in the Junior Category.

And a Nigerian boy, Daniel Adesiyan, representing Rwanda won the Senior Category.

Point being when it comes to MASTERY of the English Language, Nigeria is SUPERIOR to Kenya.

There are many areas in which Kenya can SHEET on Nigeria with IMPUNITY, speaking or writing English is NOT one of them.

He is a prominent writer in those days
Very good oo no capping

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0ledd82ed0o[/quorte] even the British love Jamaica English but they can't speak it

Foolish reply to a challenge in economic performance replied with colonial mentality. I wonder 1st African pioneers in disciplines and professions that Kenya can boast of. Or, ever got in history. Almost, none. Not even 2nd......

Not even dobKenyan have better prose writers in English language than Nigeria. Nigeria has the 1st African to win the Nobel prize in Literature. Where has Kenya been since 1987 since 1987 with its English, to date. He is incapable of seeing and assessing itself and Kenya from its larger standings. So only an erroneous reply lk dat is what do often emerge from a confused man.....

Kenyan president in fools paradise, I may say.

israelmao:
Kenyans of all people are here talking about having excellent British accent.I have listened to some of them speak in English language and I couldn't help but rolled on the floor in uncontrollable and crib cracking laughter.

Under the PDP-led government could Kenya have had the slightest thought defying Nigerian economy that was ranked among the top twenty economies in the world?Today,APC-led government has made Nigeria a cheap broth for minion nations' spit.

It's on that emboldened premise that Ruso is using to talk down on Nigerians!

Just imagine the level of backwardness the demonic party and its agents have reduced the country to; yet, the plague will not shut his amala mouth and sit his old scrotum in a place without throwing jab to other African nation thinking Nigeria is still where it used to be!

Foolish reply to a challenge in economic performance replied with colonial mentality. I wonder 1st African pioneers in disciplines and professions that Kenya can boast of. Or, ever got in history. Almost, none. Almost, none! Not even 2nd...... Nigeria has as many as 20 in number....

KENYA President Is A Confused Man.

Foolish reply to a challenge in economic performance Tinubu gave his country which he replied with colonial mentality. I wonder how many 1st African pioneers in disciplines and professions that Kenya can boast of. Or, ever got in history. Almost, none! Not even 2nd...... Nigeria has as many as 20 in number.....

You can't name one single author from Kenya. Haba.
Even we that had both academic and non academic subjects in secondary school will never forget the great Ngugi Wa Thiongo. Didn't you do English Literature.... incidentally my weakest subject.

AlabiKILLER2023:
It will never be well with E-bola Tinubu

I'm placing a curse on him
His entire generation will never see old age

See how people bring curses on themselves unknowningly.

Franking:
Ngugi Wa Thiongo who used to be known as James Ngugi was a Kenyan writer who authored Weep not, Child. I didn't need google to get that.....

I mean. No Nigerian that passed through a half decent grade school will not have come across his works.

I absolutely hated English Literature as a subject and absolutely abhor Contemporary literature but I had to pass.

You are correct.

so you didn't hear when Tinubu said that despite the hardship that Nigerians are crying, Nigeria is better than Kenya?
