A fluid medium of communication is what she is. Functionality is what matters most. The Chinese can't speak good English, yet they kick ass. The Russians too. The Koreans too. If a Graduate can deliver then, "no wahalla". If a graduate can't then wahalla dey. English is mostly for communication. If a human makes himself clear in pidgin or Yoruba or some other Language then he has communicated. If you reject his messages cause he didn't do it in English, you are messing up. @Poster, it is easy to fail GRE English. I swear, you go fail that thing, you go d wonder how come. | Posted: at 26-09-2010 09:42 PM (13 years ago) | Upcoming | |

![-]( "Kennee") Kennee at 26-09-2010 10:57 PM (13 years ago) (m) oyin you've realy made a good observation, but the basic reason is upbringing. most nigerians cannot afford to send their kids to private nur & pry schools and so many of us are actually products of public schools where ethnic languages are frequently used to facilitate teaching. Also a lot of parents are illiterates and it becomes difficult to interact with the kids at home in english. Language is easier to learn from childhood so i suggest our public and community shools should try very hard to inculcate the english speaking habit in the kids. However that is not to say we should put our native languages in extinction afterall it doesnt really mean that those that are not so fluent in english are dummies, some of them are more intelligent and perform better in exams than a lot of 'gramarians'.
Oga, l never Went 2 Any Private School. It's About yu Wanting to improve yurself and not About the Institution, Really

![-]( "Kennee") Kennee at 26-09-2010 11:07 PM (13 years ago) (m) I want to thank you for your effort to know why Nigerian Graduates can not speak good Englsh. I just want to tell you that the same problem is also applicatable to whoever that posted this. You are trying to correct an issue(bad English) but not knowing that you are part of the issue you are correcting. Check out your write ups, read them through and see if you wrote them with good English and correct spellings.
People should learn the approach of correcting others, It's very bad for a graduate not being able to express him or herself but before you correct them, be sure of what you are correcting for, apply wisdom before you go forth for your corrections.
Thank You,

![-]( "tyabo") tyabo at 27-09-2010 06:26 AM (13 years ago) (m) Is good to says the truth, as far as Nigerians assigned English as our major uniform language in Nigeria every students should try and put more good effort to have a good commands of english in reading and writing, mustly the so-called graduate. the phone calls nowaday really make english to be worst, before students were writting letters to ask for a help from their parent or relatives, he or her will read hard for good English, so those relatives will be encourage to help him.
In solutions to that.........If you have a brothers or sister in schools advise them to use simple and collect English each time they call you for help, that will encourage them to serious and improve good And it will also helps the Education too.
Nobody will dispite of our mother's tongue, so it can't be an excuses for saying the truth, we all know that other tribs don't understand our mother's tongue in our nations wild. since English as be a common and also an official language to understand ourselves is need to be good encourage after our mother's tongue

![-]( "moniconyez") moniconyez at 27-09-2010 09:09 AM (13 years ago) (m) y is it that some of d graduate's in naija can not even speak a simple correct english just to express deir sef in a simple statement.
sometimes i wonder wht the problems/faults are from its becos of that state of the country, or from d skool, lack of jobs, or lack of good enviroment, or family, or them dey form , or up bringing, becos i no understand again oo.
Am askin dis becos i was in a bus to ikeja dis afternoon and infact you need to be there to hear all wht i heard. just becos of change a young handsome guy just insult himsef tryin to collect his change from the conductor inside a public bus not even BRT.
abi na by force pls i need ur idea's and view concernin dis issues and way to improve on it becos i think dis is one of the major probs of some youth in naija. especially pple frm my state/country
@POSTER I HAVE JUST TWO QUESTIONS 4 YA. (1)HW DO U KW SAY THE GUY WEY U MET 4 BUS NA GRADUATE? (2) U WEY DEY YARN SO U FIT SPEAK AND WRITE SIMPLE GOOD ENGLISH? (3)DO U KW DE COUNTIES THAT OWN ENGLISH LANGUAGE? WELL I KW U NO NO AM SO MAKE I GIVE U THE EXPO OR ANSWER OF NO3 QUESTION. THE COUNTRIES THAT SPEAKs AND OWN ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARE..........Americans, British, Canadians, Newzealands, and Australians. The rest of them are not english speaking countries, They cant stand when a nigerian is speaking english OK? NO BE HERE WE DEY? WE NO THEM PASS. Yet they carry first. I booked a nigerian citizens high when it comes to english language to compare wit other countries. Young lady 4 ur infomation 9JA na the BEST 4 AFRICA wen it comes to english eventhough no be our mother tongue, so start CLAPPING NOW. | Posted: at 27-09-2010 09:09 AM (13 years ago) | Hero | |

Just try and look at the brighter side and stop making it look bad just because of your experience in the bus. You can do yourself a favor by seeing the way whites that are not native English speakers fumble while speaking English. An example is Rafael Nadal (The top seeded tennis player). Believe it or not, Nigerians are very smart people. | Posted: at 27-09-2010 09:41 AM (13 years ago) | Newbie | |
