The girl can not even spell tout or abi are there different spellings for touts? (Thaut)

LAUGHING at people's spelling but you can't construct a proper sentence

beautiful. Ist of all I can't address you. You've got no name. Meaning you might come from garbage. Lastly,how where u brought up? I guess your w*ho-r*e of a mum bleeped a drunk garbage and begat you. #advancedGarbage

And they can afford to send me to one of the best university in the world, cater for my needs, give reason to believe in myself, serve as my role model. Now i'm a graduate, with a very well paying job. Something your 'truly in love parent' can't afford for you.

English is our official language, not our first.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigeria

It's up to you to understand what that means, but you clearly do not.

Whats the different between official and first? y'all bunch of egomaniac cowards

iiiyyyk:


My first language is Igbo.. I read a post where u said mother tongue is our broblem so we should remove it from our system... I realy pity u. You are tooooooo back ward in reasoning. The bride and identity of a people, people die in other places just to preserve the language and culture. Chai who did this to Africans?
U have lost ur Identity.
Your decendants will suffer identity crises.
you are still suffering from the deception left behind by white men to primitive africans, making them to respect a man that speaks English rather than a man that has wisdom and knowledge. One of the reason africa is this backward.
like I said, knowing English is not a measure of knowledge on global stage.
stop being primitive, once u can communicate with it, thats ok. Better develop good skills that makes a nation and individuals grow...IT, sciece, tech, acnt engeengineering, policy studies, medical, etc

Whats your definition of white? we are a colony of the English men, same as the Americans and the Canadians. so that mean the Americans are backward because they speak English? Take your pride less pride some where else. The worst plague in Nigeria today is tribalism. I know you were among the igbos screaming when the oba of Lagos threaten to drown you all in the lagoon.

fergiiosugo:
what's your definition of garbage C*U-*N_t?

Garbage can be define as fergiiosugo

why e dey pain you nah? abi i nor get right again?

ezeagu:


Good. Hopefully your new job is far away from linguistics, of which you haven't a clue.

Its all English, because that is what i speak everyday.

ezeagu:


No, sorry, it doesn't. The reason we have English as official is for communication with different ethno-linguistic groups, otherwise there'd really be no need for it. There are still major cultural customs like the kola nut ceremony among the Igbo where the English language isn't centred. Furthermore, saying things like English come first, every other comes second, is considered offensive and can come of as cultural imperialism. It's an act of violence. There's no such thing as a language coming second unless a people decide it does. You don't decide that for 100 million + Nigerians who use indigenous languages much more than English and even Pidgin. You need to do better, ị nụ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_imperialism

your first sentence just proved why English is first and every other comes second. You can take Igbo as your first Language, that is your problem. if you are to apply for a job in an English Speaking country, I swear you will tick English as your First and official Language.

This is nairaland, an informal public forum, not an a company report.

Anyways i got no time for this, i need to prepare overnight for my new job.

KashyBaby:


Oohhh...i got a goood damn teacher here..

Filipinos are garbage. prove me wrong

Abeg is Pidgin English which you wrongly spelt as Pigin in one of your posts. I no get time for your clowning. Like the lady you were tackling said, you take yourself too seriously.
Now run along. I no get time for this ish.

like i said, use 'abeg' in any of your reports and back it up with a reference link.

ezeagu:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code-switching

when you write your project or company report to your boss, don't forget to include 'abeg' and post this link underneath as a reference.

ezeagu:


Actually, you are wrong, Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba are recognised as national languages and the constitution and some other important documents have been translated into these languages. Furthermore, English is only the official language de jure, Most Nigerians cannot understand and do not speak standard English.

English is our first and official language sir, every other comes second. Nigeria cannot afford another crisis if we decided to use hausa, igbo or yoruba as our first language.

Lets embrace the truth sire

deloon:


Improper Capitalization, Punctuation and Grammar.
I'm done abeg.
Hopefully you are still in school...

hopefully you don't think 'abeg' is English

CheeNayNay:
on the contrary,mother tongue is the pride of the people,our identity and cultural heritage.it is not nigerias problem though i understand your points.
I totally agree that pidgin english should be our general language too

we can have different culture but still speak one general language. But unfortunately, English is our first language. Even though am fluent in 'OKPE' i still might not graduate if my English is poor.

Lets just Embrace the fact that English is our first language. Every other languages remains a Second language.

iiiyyyk:


One of the lost Africans.... thinks knowing english is intelligence. English is not a test of knowledge? Somebody can be a genius in mathematics and logic and be very poor in learning languages.

Japanese speaks japan
Germans speaks german, French speak French, china, singapore, korean all speak their languages, yet u know nothing compare to them. If u are in a class with a korean, he wiĺ be speaking his poor english, but at the end he makes his distinction.
so stop decieving your self with your english skills, in doesn't count in the world sphere of interlligence.

Yes it does sir. English skill is necessary in an English speaking country like Nigeria. If we was in France, Germany or japan, i'll still correct your sentence structure. English is our first language in Nigeria.

CheeNayNay:
do u know how to speak ur mother tongue?if u dont and you speak english this well,you're a disgrace to africa!
how many white people speak african languages??

Mother tongue or not, English has come to stay. Mother tongue is the problem we are facing in Nigeria today. Think about Nigeria with only one General Language? hopefully 'mother tongue' will fade away. 'Pigin' or Correct English will be our General Language.

CheeNayNay:
dem no teach you spelling for primary skul ni its IGBO not yoboe!pls respect that word.my brother,na u sabi sha nobody dey force you to go.if u like stay ur fatherland forever nd dnt exercise ur constitional right as a nigerian,but no dey vex if igbo wan venture for your fatherland oo.nigeria is for us all but ur people no gree enjoy the freedom,so pele o my brother.one love

hopefully you are still in school because these your sentences lack good composition

agbajesaid:
The first time I had sex was after my secondary school & it was with a prostitute. After realizing there wasn't much fun in it as exaggerated by my friends, I asked for God's forgiveness and moved on with my life.

But 2 years after, I met this pretty and well behaved lady, and I fell in love with her. She was too pretty to resist. We had sex at least twice in a day for more than 3 years because we virtually stay together. During those period, I noticed things changed negatively.

Academics, business, spiritual, moral aspect of my life crashed. And up till today, I can't do anything right. And before I met this girl, everything was fine. Please I need help. Could it be the girl that's using my fortune or its the sex that destroyed my life?

work harder, top this blame game.
