Oral English is poorly taught in 9ja. Very surprising when you arrive in UK for the first time. At least we said we copied UK system. Hard to compare with American English. Even Balewa & Ahmadu Bello who were Grade II teachers had better spoken English than most 9ja trained professors of today. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

Both pronunciations are correct depending on whether its British, US or other dialect. In spelling for instance, it's like saying that "labor" is wrong while "labour" is right. |
