DonBenny77: Out of hatred you decided to show the world why you keep failing English language.... You have dictionary but never make reference to it when needed. You have smart phone but cant make profitable use of it. So in your myopic brain, you think ''dear'' is informal? No wonder you are still jobless because people like you write letters to your prospective employers without addressing them formally. Ewu biafra....smh 4 u |

couragemurphy: You are just irredeemable. You are obviously biased and it has indeed blocked you from learning. If he had said 'my dear fellow citizens', it would have been acceptable. 'My dear citizens' means that he has excluded himself as a citizen of Nigeria, he has created a god-like status for himself, a higher being than other people. Next time don't show me the meaning of dear if you can't understand a simple thing. |

TheLawTheLegal:It's just useless hairsplitting to harp on this point. If the writer and you had objected to the use of the possessive pronoun 'my' it would have passed but to stick your rattles on the fact that he addressed citizens with 'dear' instead of 'fellow' is just too crass. 'Dear' is a term of endearment, it connotes a level of intimacy, 'fellow' is casual and distant. If Buhari who is reputed to have an authoritarian and starched up character uses terms of endearment I don't think that should be a problem except to those who just want to be nitpickers. That particular plank in op's write up is just too infantile abeg. One can say other things just as he did but his first paragraph is pure hogwash. 1 Like |

Gbemishile1: You shouldn't assume that because a person with NEPA certificate is ruling Nigeria and your local gov't, all other local gov't areas should be ruled by brainless people. I am from Nsukka local gov't area of Enugu state. A professor of PALG is my local gov't chairperson. Don't showcase your ignorance next time. |

Kennyprince:He should have said, my dear fellow citizens or my dear citizens of nigeria and not my dear citizens,because we are not his citizens, we are nigeria's citizens, not buhari's citizens. |

TheEminentLaity:Just the same impression I had. Too much bitterness. Everything he wrote- save the dear/fellow issue which I feel is needless- are worthy talking points but his bitterness brims to the surface and muddies things. |

egokudiowomoney:Don't mind him. If he cannot get it that by that word 'dear' Buhari was trying to get an informal, relational contact with Nigerians then he must love cold formality more than any other thing. |

Kennyprince: Does my dear people equals my dear people of God to you ? So you lack the capacity to see the glaring difference between "my dear citizens" and " my dear fellow citizens ? You it is who suffers exactly from what you accused the Op of. My dear citizens means that he sees Nigerians as his personal serfs while my dear fellow citizens indicates that he acknowledges nigerians as fellow nigerians. The former address smacks of arrogance while the latter displays humility. No for head of this country ever addressed nigerians the way Buhari did in that address. 1 Like |

if it was kanu that said 'my dear biafrans' , these children of hate would have praised him to the high heavens. of all the problems plaguing this country it is whether the president used My dear citizens or My fellow citizens that we should be battling about. |

TheLawTheLegal:And your understanding of English doesn't make you sound biased? Aiit, try replacing the 'dear's with 'fellow' in the context of people of God and citizens. Just so you know God won't be if you didn't choose him and so is pressi, different spiritual realms anyway - you might not have chosen him so does other religions towards God. And please don't give me that crap about him choosing you. #Blackroots I'm sorry in advance if I don't metion you again. A type search with the words "my dear citezens" should help. |
