Although I have had my own fair share of fun from this thread today, which started with the OP wishing for what she couldn't offer, up to the point where others turned vocabulary into weapons of mass abuse! grin.
My conclusion: The OP has really shown me what ladies today seldm do. she exhibited a brave character by standing by her comments even when it meant, standing wit d minority.
OP! OP!! OP!!! How many times ah call you? u don try but u sef, clean dirty for ur eyes first before u try comot another person own o! else na calsala b dt eh!

Grammar, not grammars.

Coming from someone who cannot date a lady who is structurally and constructively deficient in writing.

"Grammars" indeed.

I dont know how you guys see it..but I admire guys who speak pure,polished and neat English.. It's a turn on for me,when I see someone with an impeccable eloquence,that minute i don't even care if you are broke or ugly..I just respect them.
But for guys with bad eloquence, I'm not trying to insult or intimidate you, you could always brush up your English, I want guys to know that good eloquence,fluent usage of English is a huge turn on for girls especially the brilliant ones, or so I think...
So,what's ur take on it?
You want a guy that can speak pure, polished and neat English, but your typing sucks big time.

about the eloquence n accent part
Taking it to the core from all the tribes,hausas can't pronounce certain words properly,and they are heavily accented,example is Buhari,Igbos are as well heavily accented even though they can pronounce words better than hausas,but yorubas are neutral,even if a yoruba man speaks bad grammar,he can't be as accented as hausas/igbos,he'd rather be neutral and probably speak slowly,about eloquence,yorubas are the most educated because Igbos rely more on business,many hausas are almajiris

Yorubas are mainly commercial drivers.. Gone are the days when the yorubas were considered most educated.recent studies shows that education is more appreciated in the east now than in the west.

Its it's very obvious you find it difficult to understand..yea I'm an Igbo girl and I'm verrrrry proud of my language..but we all know that our official language here in Nigeria is English language,before u start toasting wooing a girl and you don't knw know where she comes from,don't u use English? Its it's that first impression that I'm talking abt here. personally I need to know that u re good with English before speaking my native language with u
The one funny and silly thing I find with incorrigible feminists like you is that you're more guilty in what you preach for or against. Before you open a similar thread next time and start shooting the cum loads in your buccal cavity, make sure you don't give your readers a reason to retort

lmao,recent studies? That's a lie,Go to places like Ogun state,Osun state,oyo state,the greatest scholars in Nigeria today are yorubas. Ekiti state has produced the highest number of professors in Nigeria. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekiti_State 
Of course,many yorubas are commercial drivers,but if they ain't,how do you expect people to travel? Is it not a job? If some people ain't commercial drivers,who will drive people to their destinations? and in case you don't know this,many commercial drivers are graduates and can speak better grammar than you,unemployment in this country is leading guys to riding okada and driving buses, thats better than robbing or scamming people around

Dudes correcting my write ups with fear of being scrutinized by others, proofreading their writeups over and over to avoid blunders and impress others to make it look like they are not victims of the topic, reading my comments and looking for wrongly placed comma,full stop or apostrophe, well I don't have time to do all of that. When you post a comment and there are mistakes,it doesn't necessarily mean that you are bereft of the use of english,well, that depends on the construction though. You don't access one's English from typewritten grammar, except in extreme cases. I never said I was perfect,no one is. But if your English is generally poor, I won't really regard you.

My dear, don't insult them. Go back to your post, you'll see how better it gets with careful application of punctuation marks.

You're right anyway, bad English is a harsh turn-off. Though, most times I become an English teacher, correcting this and that. That can be very boring and annoying.

Re: Can You Date Someone Whose English Is Very Poor?? by chellsee: 7:57am On May 15, 2015
Hmmmm

I'm dating a guy whose command of the English Language is a bit poor. It's not like he doesn't speak it but often times, there's grammatical blunders.
e.g Using "is" instead of "was" and all that.

Lately, I realized that whatever grammar you may speak may not necessarily make you a better person so to speak.

Reason is,
I left this guy and started dating someone who had a better command of the English Language but this did not make him a better person. Instead he used his knowledge of the language to make life painful when he did not get his way.

I'm grooming this guy now. Make him read books, see movies and practice his speaking skills.

In good time, I believe he'll be better.

Well,i would have cut your wandering ego short if i hadn't perceived you're floundering for attention.But remember,that you are opportuned to attend a nice college doesn't mean you should talk short of others that wasn't.All fingers aint equal.Be careful!
Bro or Sis, why are u people trying to discourage a young lady setting the right agenda. You should encourage her. Her post does not humiliate poor English speakers but challenges them to improve. As a nation we must criticise one another in all areas - educational,political,religious to improve. The developed countries we worship today became what they are through centuries of continuous self criticism. The fact that you come from a poor background does not mean you should not improve on your spoken English. Nigerians are just too lazy to pick a book and learn by themselves. Nigerian youths should be ready to eat the humble pie when faulted and learn thereby, not going about bragging about senselessness.

I've noticed some people are better at spoken english than at written english. Some are better at written english than at spoken english. While others can maintain the balance.
