So you would prefer to have a well spoken and explicit in English language dat would squander the people dry as usual
if the man has good agender and integrity and is trusted by d people to deliver English a language dats not us from the beginning should not be a barrier
Our fore Fathers governed us without the white man language remember?

CheGuevara102:
The issue here is about having an illiterate as governor and not about the personality.

tsagir:
ASK U.S.A PRESIDENT D.TRUMPT TO SPEAK IN GERMANY, CHINESE OR FRANCH HE CAN'T , BUT PROUD WITH HIS LANGUAGE ,

marsman:
The fact that he is unable speak fluent English does not make him an illiterate. He might even be suffering from stage fright, for all we know.

CheGuevara102:
No wahala! I have any issue with his inability to speak good English but with you downgrading the place of quality education in governance and leadership.

CheGuevara102:
There's something you must understand about leadership qualities, governance is not just about having good intentions but having the prerequisite qualifications; level of your human capital, the technical knowhow and level of global exposure. For the fact that you have good intentions doesn't not make you fit to govern.

captianfreeman:
He is not a English man.

marsman:
Quality Education is important in government, but doesn't guarantee good governance.

EVILFOREST:
So INNOSON who hardly makes one correct English sentence is now a STUPID MAN...
He is not mentally sound.
INNOSON lacks wisdom right..?

OhBiafra:
Yorubas claim to be the most educated, but facts on ground put them just above the Hausa/Fulanis at the very bottom of education ladder in the zoo

SegFault:
Make una stop dey protect illiterates, English is Nigeria's lingua franca, you must speak it whether you like it or not.

Omoslim26:
Truly said but we won't pretimite the fact dat d people dat have the proposed technical know how have failed wholefully
and the fact dat d man does not speak fluently does not quite qualifies him as green in Leadership and governance
the Chinese French Spaniards Portuguese do not take English as a priority

EVILFOREST:
I weep when I see such write ups.
I wish many NIGERIANS will avail themselves the opportunity of visiting different parts of this planet.
U will see CEOs in an English speaking country who can't utter a simple English sentence...

obasi101:
Lol na today una sabi say an average Yoruba man and English are not related
If u want to win a police case against a Yoruba man... Sue him to court and see how he ll reply during his defense in court (which ll b obviously held in English)

JorgedeToledo:
Mind you, the central Yoruba spoken by many is the Oyo dialect.
Akoko dialect in Ondo North is very different from the Oyo dialect. Then you talk of the Owo dialect, Okitipupa dialect, Ore dialect and so on.
This means that you expect every man from Ondo state to learn the Oyo dialect so that they can communicate with each other without problems.
That is equivalent to what the English language or pidgin will do.
i.e. a person from Ondo state including the indigenous Ijaws learning the Oyo dialect may be equivalent to learning the English language or pidgin.

YOU GUYS SHOULD CUT HIM SOME SLACK! CHINESE DEY SPEAK ENGLISH? ALL THE THIEVES IN POLITICS WEY DEY SPEAK CORRECT ENGLISH, ABEG WETIN DEM DON DO? UNA LEAVE SUBSTANCE DEY CHASE SHADOW UPANDAN... SHEY NA ENGLISH WE WAN CHOP??

CheGuevara102:
For the fact that quality education doesn't guarantee good governance does that mean we should now stoop too low to the extent of electing illiterates into public offices? This is the same mistake the Israelites made when they rejected God through the leadership of Samuel and asked for the ridership of a human King like the other Pagan Nations. This was aslo the same mistake Nigerians made in 2015 by voting in an uneducated Buhari into office, today Nigeria is worse off.

BruncleZuma:
English language oratorical skill is not a prerequisite for political office; besides, his constituents all speak Yoruba; why not debate in a language a majority of the population would understand?
