Imanuelle:


It really is shameful that you are towing the tribal line with a simpleton.

Tell me Chinua Achebe and other prominent Igbo men are also law breakers...

Actually,i don't mean what I said,i have many igbo friends and they're really nice,i love them all,lot of igbos are gifted and have contributed to the development of this country,i'd be an ingrate to mean otherwise,i enjoyed reading Chinua Achebe's books as a kid and I think he was a genius,but the senseless op started the tribal bigotry,you can go through earlier posts. Every tribe have bad eggs,we yorubas also have ours,we have ritualists,armed robbers etc so,one tribe is not better than another

Men u guys won't kill me with laughter. Been reading the comments and verbal attacks all along and I wanna say you guys are incredible.
Some dudes analyzing the op's topic, some her punctuation while the rest her dp.

Really nice fun I'm having here. Pls keep it going!

I luv both.

Dudes correcting my write ups with fear of being scrutinized by others, proofreading their writeups over and over to avoid blunders and impress others to make it look like they are not victims of the topic, reading my comments and looking for wrongly placed comma,full stop or apostrophe, well I don't have time to do all of that. When you post a comment and there are mistakes,it doesn't necessarily mean that you are bereft of the use of english,well, that depends on the construction though. You don't access one's English from typewritten grammar, except in extreme cases. I never said I was perfect,no one is. But if your English is generally poor, I won't really regard you.

Lady fluent English assessment practitioner, nobody is castigating you oh k. Everybody is entitled to his or her opinion but atimes, some opinions are questionable. My opinion still holds and that is fitting ourselves into an image that is being sold to us is mental slavery and besides, expected you to have snapped out of it-mental slavery(borrowed language a turn on for you) since yesterday but converse is the case. Stop being a braggart, referring to your statement-"...if your English is generally poor, i wont regard you". Common, that was over bloated you know. Infact, studying English language in the university is not enough yardstick to assess people's command of English language except you got a title like that of Prof. Wole Soyinka. Your passion for fluent English language makes me wonder whether you were born and brought up in one of the western countries otherwise, you need get a good life and stop feigning your existence.

Well, it's always attractive to hear someone speak good English. But some things are considered to be more important. A man who cannot speak good English may save your life in dire situations. Don't allow imphemeral things like these shield you from reaching everyone. You will be amazed by how much treasure that is hidden in that guy who cannot speak good English. And who says he can't improve? You can even help out. I'm sure if Jesus preached to you in bad english, you may not give your life to Him.

you keep pulling out rubbish from your 4rse.

why don't you go to the nearest fast-food restaurant and request for a humble pie.

Summer1:

I understand u got pissed at the topic but its quite unfortunate I can't take it back.. Tell ur male friends with a poor usage of English to upgrade..it's for their own good

You sound egocentric. I don't mean to hurl insult on you, but then... You need to improve your writing skills.

Kingsley1000:
quite pathetic,this is why our local dialect is dwindling day by day because this contemporary age don't care in developing and sustaining it,,,so a stranger wooing you with your dialect is a turn off?what if he feign not knowing how to speak good english?...you must be an igbo girl,it's prevalent here

language is all abt understanding

Good remarks, but then, calling in a tribe when there's no need makes you sound like a child.

Am laughing so hard at this Poster...Smh!

I won't be surprised if you end up with a guy that can't even put it together at all..

You this babe?! Don't you know the value of SILENCE? As the saying "Silence is Golden"

You just keep giving folks here more reasons to tear you into bits.

No one is above mistakes where english is concern, the important thing is getting your ideas/opinions across as much as possible with little communication noise/interference..... Please learn to zip your mouth once in awhile.
Have a nice day and don't things here too personal.

Well said!!!

Wish we can be more tolerance, accommodating each other shortcomings.

Just can't understand all the noise about Yoruba this, Igbo that, Fulani is!

Nairaland is sometimes real unhealthy and stressing on one mental well-being.

manofluck:
OP ur post shows dat u're a big fool, infact u inhereted this foolishness 4rm ur mother. Hw can u demand wat u don't ve, stop disgracing igbos with dis ur half-bake grammar

I'm so sorry for quoting you, why did you involve her mother into this issue

You are free to insult her or say whatever you want, It's a free world, but insulting her mother is a disrespect of the highest order. How will you feel if you were in her shoes?

Please, manage my grammar, that's the little I can say.

Thanks.

Why?

Intimidation.. complete.

[quote author=ronald4lif post=33730399]

Another impressive one.

Showing off? That's a new one. Humour me more.

Like I said typing in shorthand sketches a person as unserious, especially to someone who's attracted to one who has a good command of English Language. And you know it.

[U guys r hilarious, or lyk my friend bck in skool wuld say, 'u guys r very very hulerious'. anyways, d babe tlk say she lyk guys wey get gd command of english.. in fairness to her, it's her cup of tea. Oga, nairaland no b official forum, so it's quite ok 4 d babe to dey use shorthand.. ]

Your paradigm of indicting acerbic tantrums with presumptuous rudeness ostensibly explicates how ill-mannered and ignoble you are.after rigorously scrutinising your mundane postulates,it's devoid of any iota of sense,all I see is an obnoxious,delusional and idiocentric legendary fool seeking for attention with her puerile and insipid gimmicks.you keep typing "hodgepodge of miscellaneous mumbo-jumbo" and disdainfully reprimand clangers whilst you even have no chutzpah nor the temerity to put to act the "grammatical eloquence" you egoistically asserted you have.desist from your jejune acts joorh!you haven't in anyway depicted your worthless self as a "typical relic of an impeccable and euphonious eloquence" conspicuously because your posts are full of bloopers.feel free to empty a bottle of methanol into your odoriferous buccal cavity,who cares if an artifact of colossal stupidity like you liquidates herself anyway.Kenyan giraffe with burnt lips..pathetic retard

I like the way you dealt with the issue seeing it from both sides not like that egoistic fool called blackett

I believe he just made his point known, just like every other individual on this thread. No reason for the insult pls.

Summer1:
This one all of you are attacking me like this..I'm not against speaking your native languages, I'm an Igbo girl and I love and speak my language to the core..but I'm also of the opinion that good use of English is a turn on..stop taking it personal except the thread directly or indirectly applies to you in anyway

Dear Summer, you might need to leave this faceless thread for a while and go and chill. Life's good .

I think everyone needs to take a chill pill and stop exercising their semantics and pendantics skills. The irony of some of the error filled comments is on a scale I couldn't have comprehend.
one thing I will say is, a knowledge of English language and the command of it, is mutually exclusive to intelligence. The later only indicates a good verbal skills, which isn't the most dominant part of the intelligence. So perhaps its a good idea to focus on overall intelligence rather than judging a prospective partner by their ENGLISH.
