Speaking english is not easy for lot of people. The way some people murder it, you wil have pity on the language. Let us jst accept it english is not our language because even with joke, people stil murder it. Some nigerians say something in englsh and your ar wondering, is it english language or somethng? You can't blame then entirely after all the language is borrowed. Anyway, no matter hw bad the english is, we undrstand our selves and stil get massage. It is all part of the nigerian package. If you ar a nigerian, you must be familiar wit the evryday phrases below that are neither here or there. 1:HE IS MY JUNIOR/SENIOR BROTHER: what they mean to say is younger or older brother, jst pardon them. 2: I DO DO IT: what is the second "do" doing there?. 3: ARE YOU ADDING AND YOU HAVE ADDED O: this is nigerian ways of saying you have gained weight. 4: COME AND BE GOING: How can someone come and go at same time? You either tell the person to come or go, decide. 5: I AM COMING: you can see some one going out and the person tells you, i'm coming. How can you be coming? What they realy mean to say is 'i wil be back. 6:I WANT TO BARBER MY HAIR: why dont you mechanic your car too. 7: IT HAVE DO: it is not that hard to say it's enough. 8: 5 o'CLOCK HAVE NACK: what is nack? 9: I WILL BRANCH ON MY WAY BACK: what they mean is that they wil stop over on their way back. while you are branching, don't forget to sterm and leaf. 10: WE ARE MANAGING: nigerians use "managing" to mean "surviving". 11:I FOR ONE WILL... We for three will make you speak good english or shut up. 12: MY NAMES ARE... are you plural? Sure you must have heard people say these. Are you one of them, add yours 2 Likes 2 Shares |

If some English people who speak English as their first language cannot congregate verbs properly,cannot use adjectives or know the difference between a noun and a pronoun. Why should I slate my countrymen and women who's first or second language is not English. I understand what is meant that's will do. 16 Likes |

I do watch movies and most of these sentences re also spoken by the whites, English language rules re too cumbersome, today they will say this and 2moro they will change it, what matters is communication, bc even though we speak some of these English in informal setting , we don't use it while writing. 1 Like |
