gypsey:
she is Absolutely! correct! Russian prime and German chancellor Angela merkel don't speak in English but they are considered 2 of the most powerfull individuals on earth.

They are proficient in their country's national language. English is the official language if Nigeria

kosisokosi48:
Gbam!

Keep quiet

madridguy:
Good point from the incoming president.

English is just a language.

Best of luck Madam Monica.

I hope not the Leewhisky

gypsey:
she is correct! even JESUS christ never spoke, write in English or went to school but he managed to save the world. speaking in English isn't a measurement for intelligence.

Okpo
Jesus fluently spoke Hebrew

Mcowubaba:

Why, is it because she is a woman, are you a Sexist?

when it comes to politics, I am sexiest. No space for female presidents biko, we are not putting jokers as leaders

MetaPhysical:


Not quite. Proficiency in language is not a measure of intelligence. Academic training in Nigeria has regulated our behavior and thought into believing proficiency in our local dialect is a sign of backwardness, barbarity and dullness, and that speaking good english is a show of intelligence and civilization. It is a false precept.

An intelligent person must be able to express himself /herself fluently in their country's national language

gypsey:
%1000000000 correct! even some English people can hardly spell their own language. I know! I was born in England.

Lies

No, she is Monica Ambrose and not Monica Lewinsky the tormentor of Clinton.

So women in Politics are Jokers

The men are wonderful, no wonder Nigeria is such a great country with wonderful great male leaders like Buhari, Abacha who have the interest of their Citizens in heart
What a lovely male leaders

bkool7:


So in your dull and hypocritical estimation ,the ability to speak good English is a verified sign of intelligence. In that case you are saying anyone that cannot speak good English or even English at all is dull.
Is English the only language in this world?

See how stupid you now made yourself look.

Anyone that cannot speak his/her national language fluently is far from intelligent.

SalamRushdie:
She doesn't look like one who can offer anything

Speaking of offers, what does she has to offer lol!?

gypsey:
%1000000 correct!

10000000% wrong

I used Speaking and writing of good English as a measure of intelligence in the context where English is the basic language of instruction and general communication.


I won't use English to judge a Lebanese or a Sudanese who speaks Arabic.

On point

I wonder how you'll reach aso rock come 2019, when you are aware of the strength of the north in the determination of who the president will be..... you and your yeye woman-counterpart...well farewell to you o


When your family's votes are the only ones banging on the list

dakeskese:

ATTENTION SEEKER OSHI!!!

First, we don't want no prostitute in Aso rock.

2, How does she think a christian-christian ticket would work in a country like naija?

3, female-female ticket? madness!

4, The Arab leaders don't need to speak english, interpreters are there for a reason. The question is, do thy speak their lang.?

Conclusion:
Like others that have come and gone, this one too shall pass.


Such madness!

To answer u one after the other.
Ur no 1 question... We hv had more than a couple of political prostitutes in aso rock B4. Eg Atiku.
2. The most free and fair election we ever had in naija had a Muslim - Muslim ticket. June 12th.
3. It's been male - male tickets all the while. So, what's the big deal?

4. I'm sure she can do better than our current president grammatically.


If I had my way I would hv really give her a try. If it's not been working with the usual, trying the unusual won't be a bad idea.

MetaPhysical:


Considering our experience and history, this should be a lower priority to more pressing need for qualities and competencies in leadership, compassion, forward thinking, conflict resolution....all of which can be demonstrated without a show of good english.

Besides, if we take the British English as the standard, the English they speak in America is also bad English, but no one doubt their ability at governance and social justice. Nigerians should press more for delivery of good of governance and social justice than semantics of the English tongue.

British English is not so dissimilar to American English.
Command of a nation's language is a xteristic of a good leader

Really? Arab presidents can't speak English'? That's her defence.... Oh God why are dullards always attracted to the seat of power? What is the correlation between an Arab President speaking English and his ability to rule? English is not even remotely his official language.
Okay let me even try to engage this foolish line of thought.... A significant portion of Arabian countries with presidential syatems today are more or less failed states: Afghanistan, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Syria, Iraq etc... This madam in Netherland should just go and it down. Theres no iota of political sense or strategy in her. Fielding a two way female ticket who are both Christians and probably from the same state in a heterogenous country like Nigeria?
All I have to say is Whedone ma!

Correct

how do we know if the female leaders would have any of our interest at heart? Diezani Alison, the mega thief, is she male?

The woman can try her luck if she likes, but i can bet, she won't get more than 5 votes; only her and her family would vote the lady.

lovelygurl:


Well she's living in the Netherlands, they don't speak English. She lived there for 17 years, cut her some slack

Thanks for that is the case, she should aspire to for Netherlands' president and stop disturbing us

Intelligent man like u expressing himself in English. I never knew there is something like national language. Though I knw abt official language. Ryde on Mr man

A refined prostitute cannot be the president of a nation. CASE CLOSED.

My friend keep quiet! National language means the same thing as official language and they can always be used interchangeably. English is Nigeria's lingua franca

Iii

English na our own language?

Where is the intelligence to become a president...........some people self
