Before fans of Funke Akindele start throwing plastic chairs at me, take a seat and read carefully.


Is Jenifa's Diary rated PG? If no, then the problem starts from the censor board.

Originally, Jenifa's accent could be traced to the Ibadan people in Oyo state but she really exaggerated , but that is not the point though.

My point is, people who already know the right grammar to use may not be a victim of this but people especially children who are still learning The English language should not be viewing that movie.

I heard a little girl speaking exactly like Jenifa. She was telling another kid "Joe, ava? and he replied "I is fine". Think of the damage it will cause to their English speaking ability on the long run.

Jenifa's Diary is not for school children but people watch it with kids around and you know kids learn things fast and if they know it, it is hard for them to forget it.

My advice is, don't watch Jenifa's Diary around kids.

Your insult is welcomed.

it should be rated PG20

Entertainment over Knowledge

What is wrong in you Op? Is it your business?

Is this OP okay? hahaha

so it should be rated, because Jenifa speaks with an accent?

Go siddon jare.

vizkiz:
Op has got a valid point...these are parental duties. They (parents) are responsible for whatever their kids watch on TV

True, even if the rating says "ADULTS ONLY ABEEEG!!", some parents and guardians would still be negligent in allowing kids to watch and get addicted to

There is a whole lot of truth in this post.

Seen. Next pls

It is your failure as a parent if your child can't speak correct english
not Jenifer's diary's fault.

Many of us was watched pidgin, broken and mixed indigenous
language movies while growing up and that didn't impair our ability
to speak and understand standard english.

A child with broad perspectives on language use and accent trumps
a monolinguist robotic english speaker any day.

True.

We that have grammatical intelligence see where we eat.
While Jenifer is shooting movies in London.

Until grammatical intelligence and degree put somebody in top 1000 richest or influential list or at least every Nigerian with grammatical prowess and degree starts earning at least 250,000 upon gaining such prowess leave Jenifa's diary alone.
I'm not a big fan of the show but Nigerians hype education and English language too much as if the combination is a sure way to make heaven.
if Jenifa's diary would impair your child's grammar you child no get sense na that child is a pikin.
P.s only one lawyer is in worlds 1000 richest he made his money from business.

Am I the only one in Nigeria who doesn't watch Jenifer's diaries?
