Get ur facts right,number 6 is absolutely correct as 'barber' can as well be used correctly as a verb. Past and past participle 'barbered', example "i just babered".Check ur dictionary for proof

If some English people who speak English as their first language cannot congregate verbs properly,cannot use adjectives or know the difference between a noun and a pronoun. Why should I slate my countrymen and women who's first or second language is not English. I understand what is meant that's will do.
Well said!

Speaking english is not easy for lot of people. The way some people murder it, you wil have pity on the language. Let us jst accept it english is not our language because even with joke, people stil murder it. Some nigerians say something in englsh and your ar wondering, is it english language or somethng? You can't blame then entirely after all the language is borrowed. Anyway, no matter hw bad the english is, we undrstand our selves and stil get massage. It is all part of the nigerian package. If you ar a nigerian, you must be familiar wit the evryday phrases below that are neither here or there. 1:HE IS MY JUNIOR/SENIOR BROTHER: what they mean to say is younger or older brother, jst pardon them. 2: I DO DO IT: what is the second "do" doing there?. 3: ARE YOU ADDING AND YOU HAVE ADDED O: this is nigerian ways of saying you have gained weight. 4: COME AND BE GOING: How can someone come and go at same time? You either tell the person to come or go, decide. 5: I AM COMING: you can see some one going out and the person tells you, i'm coming. How can you be coming? What they realy mean to say is 'i wil be back. 6:I WANT TO BARBER MY HAIR: why dont you mechanic your car too. 7: IT HAVE DO: it is not that hard to say it's enough. 8: 5 o'CLOCK HAVE NACK: what is nack? 9: I WILL BRANCH ON MY WAY BACK: what they mean is that they wil stop over on their way back. while you are branching, don't forget to sterm and leaf. 10: WE ARE MANAGING: nigerians use "managing" to mean "surviving". 11:I FOR ONE WILL... We for three will make you speak good english or shut up. 12: MY NAMES ARE... are you plural? Sure you must have heard people say these. Are you one of them, add yours
look at some of what you write here ehn, aah, olorun o, are you yourself not educated in Nigeria? Now little by little some of you travel to America and Spain and Italy then you hear oyinbo different different oyinbo and now you worry your people back home about english grammar. You are not serious. Before you get that passport and visa and travel abroad didnt you know this? Ehn, im asking you OP, didnt you know this that this is how we speak english? You are a funny comedian! Even sef I travel abroad and go to Germany and hear they speak better english than Nigeria its not my business, as long I can communicate and we understand ourselfs. Shikena. In Nigeria sef this yeye OP dont know there are people from America and England and Ireland and all these people come here and speak english and dont complain they cant understand us because we understand ourselves. We even speak better english than them here because sometimes American will come and say I want skedule. What is skedule? Is than an animal? He mean schedule. But i can understand because we are talking about arranging time. This is what is called true knowledge. This OP want us to follow that American to say skedule. If we dont he now come and write a article and say we are uneducated. I spent 15yrs in classroom in sun and in rain, sometimes i walk through mud. Who are you to question that struggle because now you are in abroad and hear them speak different english. This is very painful!

OP, God is above staring at you for this nonsense. Yeye man.
