Why the elite in Nigeria have so much power today over us was based on the fact that many knew how to use English language to there advantage. May I reminder you all that English is remains the official language of Nigeria. The queen's English is not always appreciated either. A few times I remember people accusing me of talking down to them, but one big culture difference is I was taught to express myself and conversate with everyone, unfortunately where I thought I was being friendly it was seen as being too proud and boastful. In the end I belive even the ones who hate on others who don't speak English well were not happy hearing me and I belive they thought I was trying to be superior to them. Not all mind you, definitely some said they liked my accent, which is quite Queens English. I've lived in the UK since I was 4 and returned to Lagos to work for a year a few years back, I got alot of people literally laughing in my face because they didn't always understand my grammer or said my English is too tough. Stop commenting and twisting things you don't understand.īut the fact is it also works the same way in Nigeria that many people dislike hearing many Africans with strong British accents. Ronaldo and other whites who speak English with their native accent, English is not their first language and their main language of communicating with each other in their country is not English. To the ones using colonial mentality, Japanese, Chinese, Malaysians, etc., C. Go and dig up news footage, interviews and documentaries of Nigerians speaking from 1970 upwards, they all spoke the Queens English properly with a slight British accent.
Tuface why did you not make your post in your language for the whole of Nigeria to understand you, it is because English is Nigeria's first language and that is the only language all tribes in Nigeria use to communicate and understand each other so Nigerians should know how to speak English properly. In the case of Nigeria, Nigeria is an English speaking country and English is Nigeria's first language so Nigerians should know how to speak English.
