have you guys listened to christine Amanpour's interview with goodluck jonathan?

I think jonathan's grammatical errors  and accent are just too embarrassing and scary.


what do u guys think?

What i see is that you are just a nuisance. You have not listened to the whole interview which is currently been aired (8.17 pm) and yet you are too quick to make a judgement. Is English a Nigerian Language? Use your head my friend.

Poster - What about all your own grammatical errors in the title of your post?

Possibly you attended the same schools as Jonathan?

He's a product of the Nigerian educational system.

Is that all you got from the interview? Abeg no be english man go survive with.

I don't give a chicken ballz about his grammer!

Only the british can lay total claim to English!

His english is not presidential at all, at least yara dua has an A in that area.

see  where jonathan dey pronounce question as "quesion".

A PhD holder should not be embarrassing us this way.

@Poster

Thats all you could deduce from the whole interview,shame on you.

Why do we always ask the wrong questions?

The only questions we should be asking are;
1. Can he understand the average Nigerian?
2. Can he deliver on his promises to the average Nigerian?

I wonder which past Nigerian leader had great diction or didn't make errors. Rubbish.

@ osama

i do not have time to banter words with you okay.

he made very important points in the interview, but his performance was seriously marred by his thick Ijaw accent and grammatical errors

We should all know that a good leader builds up his charisma by being able to speak good english.

when you speak attractively well, people easily get carried along and would be prepared to follow you all the way.

What a joker.

Hmmmm! Doesn't Obj have an accent and make grammatical errors? Wasn't Yar'Adua possessed of the thickest accent and the poorest grammer, all delivererd in the dullest manner?

With due respect to the A-President, We dont need to attach too much to this.
let us cut him some slack

Okay, Bankole speaks good English, question is, how has that benefited Nigerians?

Damn!
Charlie, we aren't English!
In any event, how do you know Jonathan doesn't speak perfect Ijaw or Igbo and maybe Yoruba?

my brother,
Obj makes  grammatical errors but he flows with the occasion, and his errors are excusable because of his  level of education,
yara adua has thick northern accents, but u and i know that northern accent is better than Southern Accent.


Man, Goodluck is  PHd holder, there are mistakes he should not make with his level of education and exposure.

Why cant people make sensible arguments without using insulting words

we are here to share views, not insult people's parents okay.?/

Fhemmmy:

of course i failed JAMB once, so wats d big deal??

This is one reason why we have been backward. The white folks spend their time researching, learning and inventing, while we spend our time reading dictionary from front to back page believing its what makes a man great. Nonsense.

PS:

There are many Nigerians past and present with superb oratory skills.

Its an art that's not normally taught in a classroom.

Does anybody think Obama was born speaking the way he does - No way!

He's been taught the art.

with this kind of mindset, there is nothing to argue with you.  don,t try this kind of thing in public again, you hear?

Pls aisha, duty calls! Are u already at sleep? Lock up d damn thread! @poster, what other insult is bigger than what u said and posted about ur president, MR I TOO SABI?

Sun of god:

Then i implore Jonathan to learn the art, if he wants to be a better  and a charismatic leader.

He simply needs to brush up

He looked nervous and was trying to use words he doesn't use on a daily basis.

With time he will improve - if he takes time out to improve himself.

Being a world leader requires numerous skills - Not just a Phd in one field!

what do u guys think?

I understood what he was saying and so did Christine Amanpour; and not once did she need him to repeat his statement.  He is a Nigerian, an Ijaw man for that matter so what accent did you expect him to have? Dutch or French?  
As someone has pointed out already, he did not need an interpreter and that shows he communicated well.
