Arsenate:

There are better commentators out there. I know I will be speaking for many if I suggest Femi and the gang. Those guys are so good I usually prefer to listen their commentary than even those of the sky sports guys.

ebonge1:
Lolzzzzzzz... U hear something lyk dis, super eagles here in kaduna to atonish dis faroas.

Commence : now mikel with d ball to ogbona ogbona forwards to musa

Musa tryi scale his way wit a sneak bit trick but
D ball as been sent out to corner..

John what can u say about musa's sneak bit?

Mprepz:
lalasticlala, did this op make any point?

he should just go look for a place and sleep

danielgod:
The op was constructive enough. He even gave good recommendations to improve commentators in Nigeria.

blueto:

It makes sense to many. I wonder why you sound contentious and disdaining.

At least this comment can mollify you:

Karleb:
You guys have probably not listen to a Spanish or German commentators, although I don't understand their language but those guys can scream.

eedel:
We cnt keep supporting mediocrity in dis country in d name of I wnt to support naija made.. If it's nt gud, it's nt gud.... It's nt to discourage dem (Commentators) it's to tell dem dey can do way better dan wat dey re doin presently

coolbreeze44:
Let's call a spade a spade, the performance of the commentator was woefull. OP has a point though, but the world is moving fast and we can't keep giving excuses for mediocrity. The West keep laughing at us when we hide under 'Rome wasn't built in a day'. We are over 150million people and I know we can get over a hundred people who would do better than that commentator. It was very shameful.

sammydemperor:
[s]Smh...
Tell me how is this a counter thread when you cannot even make one sound point

Atimes i feel its because of attitude like this shown by our parents in their youthful period, is the reason why we are where we are today...

How can you support mediocrity with all your wealth of knowledge, to say the least i think you just made a fool of yourself OP, by showing to the whole world what a clown you are.

You did not watch that match against Egypt cos if you did you would be disappointed in the commentary far more than i did.

An next time when countering a thread bring as much points as you can, don't counter an argument with grammar all because the OXFORD dictionary is close by[/s]

ogawisdom:
I use to enjoy Nigerian commentators esp those radio commentaries until I started listening to foreign commentators esp Epl commentators pure professionals

We only criticized our own constructively so dt they can improve, this is 2016 n d world is nw a global village d4 we all listen to commentators all over d world.

Dt AIT commentator last Friday shld b banned from commentating live matches in 2016 BC he was jst a commendian.

Counter thread shld b banned

blueto:
The essence of this thread is to dissenter and refute the points raised by the Original Poster(OP) of this thread https://www.nairaland.com/3011016/why-nigerian-commentators-should-not , of why he believes and assents that Nigerian commentators should be barred from commenting during our international matches.

I want to use this medium to beseech the OP and Nigerians with similar mindsets to jettison Xenocentrism (the belief that products, styles, or ideas of one's country or society is inferior to those that are practised and originated elsewhere). This is why most Nigerians prefer the “alluring” commodities, ideologies and culture of foreigners above theirs.

The two points stated by the OP as to why he maintains the belief that Nigerian commentators should be thwarted from commenting are: The case of them being Subjective in their approach, and the display of incompetence and anomia (difficulty in finding the correct word to use).

The issue of them being subjective is universal, even the European commentators are also culpable of such attempt. I watched the Champions League Final between Chelsea and Bayern Munich and the commentators were obviously expressing their supports for the English team(Chelsea) by saying “Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!” anytime a Chelsea player scored during their penalty shoot out, since the full-time failed to produce the winner. If the British could not reprimand their commentators for being bias and subjective, then why should we reprimand ours?
You can watch the highlight here to answer for all skepticisms and inquisitions:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xibKxX9iS5E .

The issue of them display incompetence can be resolve via formulating policies such establishing a vocational institute for out current and potential commentators to acquire assiduous training on commenting exercise.

They should ditch the mindset of appointing commentators base on their ability of to talk much, and being profound in Sports. They should be thought and made to imbibe the valid mechanisms of commenting.

Here is an encouraging comment from a Nairalander:
.

Condemning ourselves is not a prerequisite for maintaining development.

Mprepz:



lol... its just that those guys really annoyed me and ur here trying to defend them!
seriously it makes no sense!

Temmytea70:


You are too serious

blueto:
Yes, I am a partisan of austerity.

blueto:

You inability to encompass is ominous to you.

The two points I countered were the points raised by the formal OP against Nigerian commentators. and it was immaculate. Please abdicate from making prevaricating deductions.

blueto:

Yea. I agree that they did a botched job. But barring them from their jobs and hiring the services of foreigners is what I oppose. We should engross on overhauling and improving ours.

sammydemperor:

Lol...
One thing is obvious here, you are a teenager and an undergraduate studying one of those irrelevant courses in the University... You do not know how to communicate

All you needed to do to drive home your point was raise valid points, thats all nothing more

And to what end is all these your grammar What relevance is your grammar to the argument at hand, grow up kid and don't take what you read here too seriously, rather take your education serious.. When you are done getting a degree QUOTE me

blueto:

SirLewis:
You just wrote an unnecessarily long prolix that's completely op(out of point). I read carefully the thread you claim to be countering and i did not find any part where the op claimed our local commentaries should be discontinued, he only compared it with foreign commentaries and gave a good example to support his claims that local commentators should polish themselves. You just grabbed the nearest dictionary and jumped on the wagon to defend home without any fuel. Next time when you attempt to counter a thread, make sure you have good understanding of the claims you intend to counter and give valid reasons to support your dissenting opinion. And lest I forget, being verbose with the use of vocabulary is not a good way to communicate, it neither makes you appear "smart or intelligent" on the contrary you make yourself an object of laughter especially when the opinion you're trying to pass makes no sense. If by chance you're a newly admitted law student still passing through the phase of euphoria and pride, step down from your high horse because being a lawyer is not simply about churning out every word in the dictionary as you'll soon find out for yourself.

Omo dis ur free lecture eh, e scarce oooo, d guy go dey thank u well well

blueto:

What can you deduce from his topic “Why Nigerian Commentators Should Not Comment On Serious Matches”

The word “should” is use to indicate an obligation.
so what do you refer to the phrase "they are obliged not to comment”?

And stop making spurious allegations about my lexical expressions, it started long ago, you can appraise my antiquated posts for substantiation.


Yes, I am a student of University of Benin I am not studying an “irrelevant” course.

Its a pity we have chiders on NL.

you did not make any point
