Is it the perfect English that the person is lack of or is it his attitude in demanding for his change. One language has nothing to do with our daily conversations. What is the matter is our attitude. Why should a Nigerian or Jamaican worry about the Queen English, what we should concentrate on is living a life that is worthy of Jesus Christ who will help us to communicate in our daily activities. I believe that it is not the Language barrier that happen inside of that bus but the unruly attitude of the young man. Some persons tends to forget where they are coming from and so abuse others that they believe are in a job which according to them are not worthwhile.

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'.

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 correct 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, it  need to be good encourage after our mother's tongue

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,
