Nonsense and ingredients.

This is better than using broom on your children, when you find such children outside, you will marvel.

ClitRaider:

"Check up on" is a correct English, and was used correctly. Shame on the mother.

Sabi and Grammer do not go together in a full sentence.

Thank you.

Wait, Isn’t this siofra? She looks like her.

Na to use pidgin english engage her na. You don see wia dem dey correct pidgin english?

Madam doesn't know Gen Z kids don't care about etiquette when texting. Millennials do. At the same time, there are many millennials who completely shame their generation when typing. Na sandflies design her leg so?

Great. But, does she call her mom "guys"?

The mother after seeing this will be like: Its not ‘mom’, its ’mum’.. Nigeria was colonized by the British so you ought to use the Kings English spelling.

😂😂😂😂 I laughed so hard at this, they were asking me why I was laughing in the house...

Na to dey speak native language oo.... "Mama migwor" "Ekaaro ma" 😂😂😂

Na im worse pass, na "èkáròö ma" take note.

10mobile:

How are you guys? Means she was asking about more than one person.

Brytesp:
Am concerned about the dots on her leg

I am

Honestly, when someone that is close to me (for example, my siblings, children or spouse) writes without taking note of simple English syntaxes, I get annoyed and always correct them.

CaptainFM1:
Poor motherhood. She didn't catch her young until she started speaking Olosho's grammar.

Na wa ohh
Some of una dey really mad for this forum

Nwaotu10:
"Check up on" is indeed a phrasal verb, and using it in a sentence is grammatically sound. In this case, your grammarian mom is incorrect on that point.

To check on someone is to make sure there's nothing wrong with them.

To check up on someone is to make sure they're doing what they're suppose to do.

The mother is correct, only wrong to say that 'up and on don't go together.

To dey chat her up go dey tire me

If i were the lady, I would always opt for a Whatsapp call whenever we really need to talk

I no dey write Novel, why i go wan turn WS on top ordinary chat

You don't want to learn na

To be honest, if this woman is one of my acquaintances, we'd get along like a house on fire.

I like it when people type correctly, both in grammar and punctuation. Even better when they speak correctly.

The woman had a fair share of good education. Not this generation of Nigerians that wrote WAEC with their smartphones. Nigeria used to be sweet when many people were sane.

Na only for Africa una dey take another person language serious pass minimum wage. Slaves
E sad sotey una dey use english measure intelligence

That " I wanted to check up on you" caught my attention, and my mind just went straight to Whot Card, where you can check up on somebody... However the meaning of the above quoted statement is that young girl want to drop the last card upon her mom... This is an insult...

She go still correct for what'sapp call 😂🤣

I find this comment really [b]distasteful.

Lets not sexualize all contents involving women.

It's rude. Not cool at all.[/b]

I "cumm" peacefully and not directly at you though. I just don't know why you put your mouth to taste my "Siemens".

Anyways, all "cumms" are distasteful. Don't put your mouth their again, especially when it's not for you.

"Aproko" is not good for you. Always taste what is meant for you, otherwise you will continue to get bitter taste.

Haaaaa 😂😂😂😂

Na to speak pidgin remain 😸

I wouldn't say the mother is a grammarian. She is just trying to have her daughter write correctly as anyone with a secondary school level education should. knowing her mother will be correcting her writings it is reasonable to assume she will try her best to not make any mistakes. The basic mistakes she made in the chat show she is below par in English. I guess the mother wasted a lot on her English tutoring but is still trying with her.

She should consider herself lucky to have a mother that is knowledgeable enough to see through her errors, and suggest a correction.
Some of us don't have that privilege. My parents are not lettered in English or other subjects.
When your chances of travelling out of Nigeria for a career progression, or any other programme hinges on passing English proficiency exams like, IELS,TOFL, you would understand the significance of having someone like her around you.

People are no longer conscious of their grammatical errors this days for a number of reasons , but I think as an individual we should do our best to speak and write well.
No one is perfect though.

Israeludoudo:
I wish I have someone to be correcting my little mistakes like that!

I wish I "had" someone. Not "have."

The comment i was looking for.

The mother knows she has a dull daughter.

The lady supposed by now to have understand the type of mum she has and know how to follow her up.
