The standard of education was ''murdered'' immediately our leaders began demeaning teachers and ignoring their welfare, and leaving schools dilapidated. Brilliant teachers fled the system and were replaced with Youth corpers. Much as I agree to the fact that ''some of our yesterday-graduates ''murder English'', as in, not knowing how to use ''its and It's'', ''ask and axe'', I'm and Am'' etc., but not all Nigerians comit these blunders. However, the news in the media which suggest that Nigerians are the most educated blacks in America contradicts the claim that ''Nigerians are illiterates''. 2 Likes |

-Good observation from that woman. -But the one that rattles me and make my skin crawl is when the so-called Nigerian graduates and undergraduates, needlessly use "text language" in simple communication. -For instance, "KK" for Okay/Ok., "Gud" for Good, "Kul" for Cool. I have tried to no avail to get rid of this from those I know, but as you would expect they get upset and probably think you're questioning their intelligence, or the retort: "English is not my mother tongue". I'm team indigenous language anytime, any day! Develop our language or atleast modify English to suit us, just like Americans did, else we will continue to be laughed at and ridiculed. -The danger of those silly usage when it becomes ones culture is enormous, as it can cost you job interviews, contracts, respect e.t.c. Note: This is one of the things highlighted to be holding African-Americans behind in USA, among other sub-cultures they practice. -Anyone seen the book "Black Redneck, White Liberals" by Thomas Sowell? |

CoolFreeday:It is not OK because it is a product of laziness that started with textspeak. If the users can limit it to texting where it originated from, it could be overlooked but you see people using them in official documents or even in exam scripts. Too bad! |

ILLITERATE ORGIN LATIN See more synonyms on Thesaurus.com adjective 1. unable to read and write: an illiterate group. 2. having or demonstrating very little or no education. 3. showing lack of culture, especially in language and literature. 4. displaying a marked lack of knowledge in a particular field: He is musically illiterate. THERE ARE ALOT OF GREAT MINDS WHO NEVER WENT TO SCHOOL BUT CREATED AND MADE IMPACT IN THEIR SOCIETY. BEFORE COLONIALISM OUR FORE FATHERS WERE NOT EDUCATED BUT THEY WHERE ABLE TO GOVERN THEMSELVES SO I THINK AND BELIEVE YOU ARE WRONG EDUCATION DO NOT DEFINE YOU BUT WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE DOES DEFINE WHO YOU ARE THE IGBO'S NO GO SCHOOL BUT THEY ARE VERY GOOD AT DOING BUSINESS YOU CAN HARDLY CHEAT THEM |

Op, listen, I have been with most Americans who cannot even write their names or speak good English language. Have been in a bank with an American of about 20 yrs old who wanted to cash his check and what he did was to ask me to help him write his name on the back of his check leave which was to endorse the check to enable him cash his payroll. After doing that for him, he then had to thumbprint at the back to enable him cash his payroll. Your can only condemn our ascent when in America and not to condemn the so called English language.Queen English is been respected and what you mostly get in America is just street language, just like our pidgin English language which is common in places like Warri. That is why you cannot cheat any Warri old woman with your grammar. So op, do not just start what you cannot finish. Let the so called American stand with a person like Ngozi Okonjo, Pat Utomi and other educated Nigerians in order to buttress her point.Nonsense. 1 Like |

In as much as we borrowed English language to be able to speak directly to one another because of out over 500 ethnic groups and languages, let's endeavor to speak the damn language well. And this goes to most of our girls forming laporsch se they sabi English whereas Na them use the am and small letter i to start a sentence pass. Please and please it is I'm or I am. Se o ti gbo? |
