In an exclusive chat with HipTv, comedian Ali Baba has revealed that the first lady of Nigeria, Patience Jonathan lacks basic education and that is why her spoken English is so poor. He said this when he was laying emphasis on Girl-Child education in Nigeria. His words;
“The education of the girl child is very important because if Patience Jonathan were educated, we will not have the problem that people think we have with her not being able to speak English”.
He went on to say – “Having a primary and secondary education helps a child to develop (into) whatever the child wants to become later. It is obvious that Patience (Jonathan) did not get any of the above, or did not get it properly”. Continue below...
He concluded by saying that there are people like the First Lady teaching some other students now in our primary, secondary and even tertiary institutions and advocated that the problem be tackled from the root and a permanent solution be put in place.

If patience Jonathan lack basic education,how then did she obtain her PHD degree? Was it by jumping fences & going through back doors? I can't even fathom how or why GEJ married her. Didn't he know she'll be an internatnal embarrassment one day? Well, I know its late crying over spilt milk,we have 2 make do what we have. We go manage am like that.

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

Some over-sabi house husbands on this forum that knows the president more than he knows himself have done well in lecturing a novice like me about our dearest president. But truth be told. What Ali baba said & anybody will say in the future is obvious. Even a blind man knows that she should have done a better job by going an extra lenght 2 brush her english. If you ppl like cry,insult evrybody on this forum,kill yourselves over madam presido,people that will insult her will do so. There's nothing u can do abt it. I'll be the one 2 advice u 2 hug a live transformer tight & never let go!

Ali baba is a clown... Our government have "a" problem and we know it, we don't want any wanna be comedian coming on tv to remind us. He that is educated can't even speak good English ( if our First Lady were educated) correct yourself.

AS FAR AS THE PRESENT SITUATION IN NIGERIA IS CONCERNED, FOR NOW, THIS ISSUE IS PURELY IRRELEVANT. LET'S ALL STAY WITHIN THE CRUCIAL CONTEXT OF "BRINGING BACK OUR GIRLS" THEN WE CAN ALL BE ABLE TO SPEAK ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN ANY MANNER WE CHOOSE, AS SIMPLE AS THAT.
