Africanpride: Dr Kperoogi is a English lecturer at an American University....so it is his right to make the needful corrections. And yes....English is not our language....but it is the official language of Nigeria.....as well as a growing international language...so it ought to be spoken properly. 1 Like |

hmmm nawa So u didn't watch the ministerial screening from A-Z and all you come here to say is How wrongly they've abuse the use of English.... come to think of it, there are still great or even greater Nations than Nigeria (ask china)who do NOT speak English in any national political gathering.... What is wrong with us? has a good use of English help better our economy? y'all need to stop beefing and start giving solutions to our (Nigerian ) numerous problems... Thank you and if u want to quote me, don't beef! 1 Like |

tosyne2much: And you are one of the people who castigated and is still castigating Patience Jonathan online for her wrong grammar. The writer tried to educate the young ones. If you don't know, students learn by listening to news cast, role models, etc. It is noteworthy that most people using the expression "my names are," are copying Wole Soyinka because he is a Nobel laureate. Students who use this expression in an English Language exam would be penalized. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Their stomach infrastructure will not let them pay for a good secretary, some that pays well, employ foreign graduate, not knowing that sometimes, they end up paying for packaging not content. Despite their looting that has resulted to the dilapidation of our educational system, still most of us work through Thin ways to still be the best in our career. Some ministers show charity to their relations or Community by employing "Aunty Eliza" as their Secretary. In this case Grammatical murder is Expected. |

God bless u op for this write-up, most especially that No1 on "my names are". My secondary school (English) teacher has lectured our class on that blunder 9 years ago and I still find it hard that our leaders are still making that mistake not only senator wammako but also that senator from Yobe. It's absurd. God bless my oral English teacher Mr Wayer. |
