Their English is fine, they just have accents that are difficult to understand. Dame Jonathan is from the south like most of us, so a bit easier to understand her pronunciation of words. E.g., "Umblela." Speaking with a different accent is quite different from poor grammar and making up new words like umblela |

Some South South/Ibo people can not pronounce "l", they pronounce it as "r" - so, why are you blaming Dame Patience about umbrella? |
