This is what some people had used 15yrs of their life to learn and yet still confused. England/America has no reward for those who learn their language. China... Russia... All respect their God-given languages. But the copycat countries are on their trail Africa imprisoned/enslaved Africa. Although it's good I'm communicating in English, that's enough. As long as my audience understand me... what's the worry about mistakes in English .... Or you meant to say it was mistakes in English that results into devaluation of naira & backward progress of Nigeria or systemic failures of government not knowing their priorities while importing worthless things including English without matching it up with making the economy more productive? 2 Likes 1 Share |
