Please enough of this talk about good or bad English.
This is a Nigerian forum , for Nigerians and their friends and not an English language class.
The most important issue here is that of communication and clarity .
Clarity here entails being as accurate as possible.
It also entails Making use of simple and plain words and language, be it in Ibo, French, German, Polish, Ibibio, Sign language, Yoruba, Hausa , English, Ibibio or Italian, just in the form and context in which they are commonly used.
In addition, it means avoiding all such words that are entirely not necessary or do not give additional meaning to the context in which they are used in the posting
. Each posting to my mind should be written simply, clearly and concisely, with the required degree of precision and as much as possible in ordinary language that people can understand .
Why do you want to cry more than the bereaved? You be Oyibo[Englishman]?

Lotuken or woteva,u wan deny your culture na here you wan begin form ajebutta ,abeg make dem write anything dem wan use write,everyone get wetin dey worry am,abi na english dey do you.

please , if anything we should use igbo, yoruba pidgin, ibibo and whatever to talk. as long as its understood. besides langauges are given life by breaking certain 'rules'

On a more serious note, its a free world, we shldn't b bounded by rules and regulations all the time He who the son has set free, he is free indeed!!! carry go joo...

Why una wan kill Lotuken because of a good intentioned suggestion?
@Lotuken I dey with you all the way! Time don reach make we start to dey yearn "queen's" oyinbo for this forum!

On a serius note. U gat to say it the way u feel it. Bothering about grammar is unnecessary headache. This site with post all in "good" english will make it look like a boring online version of "Edet lives in Calabar"!

u r contradicting urself o! r u for Lotuken or against?
choose one before i... nothing dey happen

nothing dey happen oh jare! all my AFRICAN QUEENS we're together

I see your point but why? They can go to school to learn.... We should be able to say whatever in any language as long as its respectful.

There is something disingenuous about saying that the forum would be dry if we all used proper english. Assuming everyone here can speak and write proper english if motivated, the primary reason for using anything else would have some societal context.

ok, oooo! still, nothing dey happen sha, make everyone yarn watin them sabi or as they please

ocho, na true talk be dat o! abeg make we just continue to dey flow!!!!

YES OH!!!!!

*

eh eh or oh oh.u people have won the battle.okay,let's use the simple language that all the nairalandars would understand.

Aderonke!maybe you are with me.Christ in you the hope of glory indeed.
