onila: Most Ghanaian Parliamentarians are looking to increase their $1300a month salary to $3000. Their Nigerian Counterparts earn $198,000 a month

$198,000 a month? Are u sure about that. Damn Nigeria politics is the best job in the world.

Kingmojo: Onila baby, do u have a nigerian accent or British. If u have a British accent then it is a done deal. Get ready to be deflower, because I am going to start making the arrangement to marry you.

Also can u speak pidgin, that would just put the icing on the cake.

I am a sucker for girls with British accent and ones that pidgin English the way mercy johnson or tonto dikeh speaks it.

Is a fact, he is not lying. Ghanaian has the most polish English on Africa. Lots of Nigerians agree with this. I posted an article earlier written by a nigerian about Ghanaian been more polished when it comes to the English language.

Some words pronounce by Ghanaians are not perfect just like some words pronounce by Nigerians are not perfect. Overall Ghanaians have better diction.

Americans pronounce water, wader. You can't say Americans are terrible at the English language.

Why does it even matter who speaks better English? why should one pride themselves over speaking a European language (foreign language) the best?

I have never met a Ghanaian born in Ghana that don't know how to speak at least one traditional language. We love out language. Nigerians on the other hand speak English more so than their own language.

Maybe if they knew how to speak English then they wouldn't struggle in west so much. Whether we like it or not, it is the global language and being able to speak it can sometimes equate to success or failure. Why are non English speakers learning the language.

Who cares? That does not change the fact that it is a foreign language to Africa. Do you change your accent around white people in order to sound more "British"? Take pride in your own culture.
