The same thing I've been saying for ages.

Funnily enough, these same set of ignorant Nigerians who can't differentiate between 'am' and 'I am' or who write in stupid abbreviations all the time still find the time to capitalize the letter G when writing god.

Some Nigerians will bash the lady instead of taking correction.

We are just too defensive for the wrong reasons.

ernesty20:
Yeah.. Nigerians are illiterate.. Come to London where i live, you will see them roaming the streets of london.

Really? What does this comment make you? An educated folk? Nah... You are as 'illiterate' as those you accused. Maybe we should first educate you about the use of the word, 'I'. Regardless of its position in a sentence, it must be in capital. 'I', in a sentence, (except otherwise indicated) is a word, and not an alphabet! Got it?!

If anyone should correct us in English language, it should be the British. American English is also wrong English whether they like it or not.

"I arrived yesterday"..
Is the usage of "I" in this statement grammatically wrong?

.

Emperoo:
Haha, this damn serious!

See them, u no see say u don misfire too?

Lol, this is quite funny. So Nigerians can be recognised by am and i? We always stand out, don't we?

don't mind that one deceiving himself, he is a local Nigerian forming UK. He cannot even afford a good phone which autocorrects every "I".

We need a change

And as usual,instead of them to take to correction,they will argue baselessly and aimlessly. Typical.

Oga your corrections were too poor to disturb over 3000 narialanders! Besides English is never our language, Lionel messi of Barca can speak English yet he's world best and etc.

And which Nigerian language can the American woman speak?

Soon as you tell me which Nigerian language is as internationally accepted and used like the English language.
Some things are just so simple to comprehend and flow with,but people like you must find a way to excuse the very glaringly inexcusable

neocolonialism

This correction is for Tonto Dike who keeps saying "am not surprised,,,,am not worried,,,,am okay" rather than I'm not surprised,,,,I'm not worried,,,,, I'm okay as well as hordes of nairalanders who are fond of wrongful use of those words

Most times, its not all about speaking English, can you write it down? can you explain the words that are been pronounced? do you have anything upstairs? can the English feed you, cus they are people who can't speak but they do better than the so call grammerians?

Do americans speak good english? No. The should go and sit down

JhaayYoung:

Yes!
Correct Ans:
"I am arrived yesterday" ---- Correct.

Truth be told guys: The Whites are taking advantage of the fact that Nigerians are opportunity seekers so they'll do anything and everything to humiliate us. For the benefit of those who will be travelling out of 9ja someday in the future, "This Correction Is For YOU". English na white man language so them get every right to correct us. We na borrow we borrow am. And the use of abbreviation has really done more harm than good as most of us are forgetting how to make good sentences and correct spelling of words. PEACE

Paul2434:
Naija people make we learn!

Learn how not to mind our business or what exactly are we to learn?...

. . . and then the writer did his own gbagaun by saying "get's to see it". Who will now correct him?

musulumi:
Am coming back to comment

i will wait for u then.

Ttrrffyyghuuh:
Am coming back

i will comment later

ernesty20:
Yeah.. Nigerians are illiterate.. Come to London where i live,9 you will see them roaming the streets of london.

Crap...even some of the the so called white men can't speak English...it's not unusual to hear things like "me thinks",or me dad...

Gbam!!!

Abegiiiii!!!...who correct English epp? And to think it's an American that's saying this?...just listen to the lyrics of any rap song and see how Mama Charlie's language is been murdered

Keep justifying nonsense.When you get to a job or visa interview,feel free to express yourself in your native dialect.

Emperoo:
Comrade Nnadi Goodluck adviced Nigerians on the poor usage of "am" and "i" in a sentence.

Below were his words as shared on his facebook page,

Nigerians, what is your take on this?

My take is that you need to work on your grammar. In this case, use 'advised' rather than 'adviced'.

Oga, can I send you a plate of nkobi or isiewu? You just made my day

It is very important to we learnoo. Who knows why I'm still unemployed probably be because I have been using "Am" in my application letter.
