This is something I've noticed, its really irritating and annoying. I would even say 85 percent of Nigerians make this mistake. All my time on nairaland i've never seen someone use the word I'm it's always am . Even back when I was in nigeria. Its seems like the only people that know how to properly use both words are the upper middle and upper class families. |

I blame it on the kinda primary school they went to ....some would mistake "go on your knees" for "go on your knees" or "as" for "has" |

boboLIL: Exactly!!!!! Do you also think when the British brought English to us, the meaning for both words were confused by the native population  ? And that's why it is used like this in modern nigeria |
