So you would rather be "unembarassed" and remain impoverished than the other way round.

Now i can understand why you are the clown of nairaland.

Do you mean what you put in quote above is correct? Let me be clear before I fall the hammer on your head

What I meant was that the error in the statement, when written as it should be written, is in her use of 'people'

Of course the statement as a whole is INCORRECT

I always find Madam Joe's speeches very funny and cant help laughing whenever i watch her on tv. And there is a way she pronounces her words like a baby
And the grammatical errors can burn your ears!

I SUPPOSED SHE MEANT TO SAY MY HUSBAND- GOODLUCK JONATHAN WITH VP- SAMBO IS A QUIET PAIR.

Na wa o.

" MY HUSBAND, DR GOODLUCK JONATHAN AND SAMBO IS A QUIET PEOPLE, " (NTA News)

Hey house!
   
let me help to cover the blunder we might say she is wrong GRAMMATICALLY but when it comes to SEMANTICS(meaning), maybe she sees the two as one unit/entity,so she could be right.

  So lets see how it goes:
MY HUSBAND,DR GOODLUCK JONATHAN IS A QUITE PELSON
           AND
MY HUSBAND,SAMBO IS A QUITE PELSON

That is what I got semantically.Hope she is right under semantics

Good for you patience. As for me am is a talkative people o!

Instead of you to watch out for syntactic errors,you are looking for typo.However,Jonathan would have been a happy man if he had had a quarter illiterate as a wife.

You must be a fool. Every single one of your 3 so called corrections is fcked up. If your English is poor, find ways to sort it (or crack your head on the nearest stone) before you attack others.

Look in the mirror,  Mr. goat brain.

It is correct, though it too might seem a bit awkward. To understand “had had,” we need to take a look at the present perfect and past perfect tenses. Take this sentence: “I have had too many chocolates today.” That sentence is in the present perfect tense. You use that tense when you’re talking about a past action that is continuing into the present. This sentence means that I started eating chocolates in the past but the chocolate eating is continuing up to the present. Present perfect tense uses “has” and “have” plus the past participle, as in “have had” and “has gone.”


Although “had had” isn't wrong, one "had" definitely sounds better

This woman has surpassed both George w Bush and Dan Quayle in speech mishaps. Perhaps this will get her into the Guinness book of records one day as the most inarticulate first lady.

I intentionally set a trap for you with that construction and you fell for it.
So you've never see two ''had''s in a sentence before ?

Now, yet another blunder (see bolded). Just give it up, you are as empty as Mrs Jonathan.

[b]na wa o, you guys are more british than the British.

I tire o,please you guys should let the woman be,being able to speak good english is not a guarantee to be a good first lady,its not a must that every nigerian must know how to speak good english,she just fell into the category of those who can't speak fluently so can we leave it alone already?afterall english is a borrowed language,let the white man come and speak her language perfectly let me see.RUBBISH.

To avoid Madame first ladies admissible mistake, I advise all u undergraduates & graduates wen u are looking for a wife, make una no follow woman wey get big yansh & or curvisious bobby, her English fit be zero, but having said I still see nothing wrong in making mistake in borrowed language.

Small brained platypus. Tell me which of these three fcked up sentences you proffered is grammatically correct:

1. My husband, Dr. GEJ, as well as Sambo, is a quiet person
2. My Husband, Dr. GEJ and Sambo are quiet people
3. My Husband, Dr. GEJ and Sambo are quiet individuals

Tell me, point it out, fool.
Next time, look in the mirror before pointing fingers only to turn round and commit murder.

Daft punk. English is not our problem and should never be, except for empty headed, pre-evolved neanderthals.

This is not about amala dudu.
Dude was wrong with his two hads
Why complicate issues when you could use one had or say had taken , or had married, (replacing the second had with taken or married)
