ANOTHER GRAMMATICAL BLUNDER FROM THE FIRST LADY (Page 4)

well.... let pardon her for that... i know GEJ will get her another English Lang. Teacher very soon...., at lest she don dey improve........ just give her some months....

Goodday my fellow Nigerians,This is what i have been telling you.You all stink in your grammar, some of you write as if you never graduated from elementary school, not to mention from high school.You hide your lack of mastery of English language behind that broken english that is swiftly spoken by the Ibo people that has spread to other tribes albeit with trepidation.You speak atrociously without caring if other nations and people understand your argument or opinion.Your Nollywood movies could have been more successful, were it made with stars that speak decipherable language, and i even hear there are some movies made using Yoruba language. What a dumb idea,and you wonder why you can not command mega million dollars in return for your effort in making a movie like your counterparts in the US.My advice to the first lady is to stop speaking pidgin english everyday but to instead practice proper english in her mansion. (The rain in spain falls mainly in the plain) Repeat after me Lady

'Only for me to read again today dat "WHILE ADDRESSING WIDOWS UMUAHIA" '. Mr Writer, On the basis of your own column, I believe it is arguably true to say that you really need to get an english tutor for yourself, thereafter, you would have be availed the audacity or reasonable ground to criticise the gramaticability of others.  I beg you to pardon me if I come across as rude. Just being honest.  Subsequently, its also true to say that though english is never our "mother-language", howbeit our leaders or anyone exercising their official powers, whilst choosing to communicate in english should not make a mockery of themselves by absolutely murderously misconstructing simple grammars. Consequently, the first lady's seceretary/PA or whoever has been writing her speech should be SACKED! Absolute nonsense.

Your ignorance and arrogance disgust me. You claim to be a Nigerian - "Goodday my fellow Nigerians" -  yet you talk of Nigeria and Nigerians in such demeaning terms. One, you ignorantly assume that if one does not have a mastery of English language, he probably may not have attained more than an elementary education. That assumption is foolish and narrow. How about millions of people who lived and studied in countries whose official language is not English language? In any case, even for those who may have studied in English speaking countries, not everybody would, like you, necessarily equate enlightenment with a strong proficiency in spoken/written English. Your ignorance is also reflected in your perception of pidgin English ( many prefer the word "pidgin" to " broken"). There are many Nigerians who speak and write much better English than you will ever learn in your lifetime, but yet are proud to communicate in pidgin English because it gives them a feeling of better connection with their countrymen/countrywomen. It helps them to even communicate  more effectively some feelings and ideas which otherwise in your so called English will not have been fully expressed. For GOD's sake, can't you simply understand that English language is a foreign language for most Nigerians and so is likely to be inherently inadequate in expressing all our sentiments and ideas. Two, your generalisation about Nigerians speaking "atrociously" is absurd and a reflection of your own narrow mindedness
  Three,  i do not understand what is dumb about making movies in Yoruba language. Yet again, your arrogance and ignorance can not allow you to see that movies are sometimes meant to reflect the experiences of a people. So, what better way to convey this than in their own language? Finally, your assumption that movie production is alway solely driven by commercial consideration is flawed. Yes, making money from movies is important but it is not always the only reason why people want to produce movies.
 So, shed you arrogance and ignorance so you can learn more!

Pardon her,she did not become FIRST LADY because she was an expert in English language.
