He explained that the GOUNI had identified the use of English as the major weakness of many graduates from other institutions. “In the PG School, we ensure that when you write your thesis, it will be strong enough to be published in a journal and if not publishable, then you have not written a good thesis,” Anieke said.

Is correct English the prerequisites of enlightenment? Mr VC do you ask Chinese contractors if they can speak 'correct english'? Always Africans especially Nigerians wanting to speak the language more than the English. So far you can pass ur message nd be understood, good to go.

It's so evident that the lecturers including some professors are the problem of our educational system. How can you measure intelligence and knowledge with one subject - wats there in English? All brainwash. I challenge them and can prove that dis generation is outstanding

Real talk

Did they graduate as English students?

Some VCs and lecturers too

Hold your lecturers responsible... Too much sorting

ATasteOfAfrica7 Is English your native tongue obsolete professor, how many English people can speak or write igbo ewu awusa.

Who your English help. U de speak English and nigerians are still suffering.

ATasteOfAfrica7 The obsolete professors believes that knowing , speaking or writing English means that you're intelligent or have high IQ , textbook professor of no practical impact. How many Japanese or Chinese speaks good English yet they dominate the world.

Even some gorvernors with that they're awarded with some ranks

Sure and many that can even speak write correctly are leading us in fed legislative and senate

That’s the truth

Not only the graduates, even their lecturers finds it very difficult.

English is not our language. It was imposed on us by the British people for us to communicate with them.

That's a legitimate truth 💔

Na statistics we go chop? Agbado slogan

ChidiOdinkalu With the introduction of mother tongues as a means of teaching in Primary schools across the nation, expect the standard to zero. UseOfEnglish

Speaking English, Is that all that makes a graduate? Not being able to speak English,has it stopped Turkey,Iran,South Korea China,Germany,etc from being industrially developed?

So what? How many brilliant Asians, especially Chinese, Koreans, Indians and Japanese amongst others speak (good) English? This is absolute nonsense talk from a supposedly learner person. Africa is like this cos we refuse to profer and adopt home grown solutions to our problems

Then we're they admitted & graduated from ur own University, Mr. VC?

ASUU is on strike

This is what Nigeria has become, in that country once u can speak English like Patrick ogbahemon, u can handle any position even medical or professional

Is that the problem of the Country

How is that an issue?

Sir,how do we improve our English language as we as Nigerian graduates, you're our father,it is better to tell us how to improve our English language.

Truth

You guys taught them.

Teach them in their mother tongue. English isn't a measure of intelligence and it shouldn't be. It is a language like any other🤷‍♀️

Kkkkk

ENGLISH IS NOT THEIR MOTHER TONGUE 😂 AND NOT COMPULSORY🤗 TELL ME THAT IBO MAN DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO SPEAK IBO' I KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG. YOU CAN'T TELL FRENCH MAN THAT HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH OR CHINESE MAN HE CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH, IRONY

Your tweet is baseless. You just want to shine on tweet. I hope you are seeing this . The brilliant among them , did they get job ? Oponu VC

Is English your language Mumu, which Japanese, Korean, German, Chinese that you guys give contracts speak English. Shame on African leaders still stuck in the colonial mentality era thinking. Educated Ilitrates

A young boy in China who can't speak Eng. will produce mobile phone dt d VC will buy wt his English-speaking salary. It baffles me dt d whole Engineering students and dia lecturers in dis country, wit all d big, big books haven't produced anything. Less English, more practical.

Those who permit sorting are responsible for the unfortunate development

That’s because even the western world graduate without even speaking or writing ✍️ igbo, hausa or yoruba at all.. English will always be a borrowed language.

They've experience so much in Nigeria that words can't express.

Sir English is not your language. Can an English man write correctly in Igbo language?

No nation develops outside her tradition/culture and language is one ,if you are truly a prof and not quota or political one you should have known that the first step is to make your language compulsory

So speaking correct English will solve the problem of today even the one on your door post ,mist of the gadgets the named lecturer uses are being produced by China who doesn't speak english .

Speaking foreign English language is not a criteria for intelligence. Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians etc don't speak English language yet they are better than English people.

... however they speak their native tongue excellently; you can't do the same. 'Teacher don teach me nonsense.'

Very correct.

We be mumu I swear 🤣🤣🤣. During World Cup, Our players do communicate in English on The pitch and we expect other countries not to know our weak point ? Let’s all agree on either Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo to be One Nigeria Languge and let’s see the result

Will English give us Stable electricity, good road, Better Economy, conducive environment e.t.c ? Let’s choose one Language out of Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa as our native Language. Pidgin cannot ever be our successful Native Language.

Can you speak correct Igbo language without adding English?

Even the VC doesn't know what education really is if not he should understand that English is not African language or our language. He should go and see how japanese and china communicate in there language and they have invented so many things.

Who cares about English? The Japanese graduates 🎓 don't speak English, but are able to be productive. If the Nigerian graduates can write computer programmes in Hausa or Yoruba. Great!

Among former British colonies Nigeria is one of few countries that glories English Language. Let us begin to teach formal education in our mother tongue.

Nigeria graduates are being taken by western nations because they are good

How did u then grant em admission into the university lol this is a disgrace for both the vice n the school together as a matter of fact u should be sacked by now.

Miracle center to get Waec....expo, paying for handouts etc through university.... what do you expect. Some lowlife still cheat at Masters exam level....I gave up when I saw women writing on dia thighs during a Masters exam.

How did they pass your Post UME and get into your University?

Abeg shit, the ones way sabi speak am well, which job the for them, or where the enabling environment for them to thrive?

Bulaba😶

This one na true

90% are actually on Twitter. They lack the ability to comprehend simple write up....

Are they English?what happened to who they really are?

Garbage in Garbage out... 🤔

English is a borrowed language. Tell that to a German, Japanese werey

iamfuturec, come and see your life o.

University should be a place of higher leaning in medicine , engineering and other professional careers, not a place to rate someone on how well he/she speaks foreign language, Germans, Japanese and Chinese are producing many things, without good grammar.

Most of buhari APC ministers can speak and write good English yet look at Nigeria today who English comprehension help oga we need smart creative youth that are creative like Elon Musk dangote adenuga bill gates and others

Just like your colleagues that couldn’t read an election result?

Funny how serious we take English Sh!t’s not even our language 🤷‍♂️ Meanwhile check out my pinned tweet. You never know, it might be for you!

Pure truth 🤣

GoldenBalance86 You don't blame them, English is a foreign language. Chinese that produced TVs and Tecno phones don't speak English or write English

We have our mother tongues. We are not British. Stop emphasizing on colonial languages. Develop your own

because they graduated from the institution you teach . so.its your fault

You talk about English command when you are in mass communication and theater Art, if you are in Engineering and Architecture, your brain and creativity is mostly needed and not your diction.

Thank God . I have been saying it . Nigeria education is rubbish especially Yoruba land . It’s all about exam malpractices and forgery of certificates. Mostly in Yoruba land

Tell me the importance of English in a useless country colonized slavish mind. African countries are getting off the boat of brainwashed language and you think speaking English makes a man better

English is not their father's language use their language to teach them and see if they won't make you proud

Been good at spoken English doesn't determine an individual intelligence or brilliance, so lecturers and profs should stop making it a big deal.

Can their president do any the three?

It's all your faults sir. It's the level of teaching you give them that they will display outside sir! It's garbage in garbage out!

Hahaha I no Sha follow them ni oo

And if you gets paid by them you forget about their speaking and writing English...

Whose fault?

Blame the corrupt educational system because it's the school that give them admission

Maybe the VC just want attention. Kindly go to CBN, NCC infact all the govt agencies and see if they are speaking English there. It's either Housa or Yoruba. You hardly see Igbo man they are always forming and deceiving themselves. English koh

English is not our language ‼️

Nigeria DEPRESSION is too high.... Too bad

self indictment.

sometimes i wonder what some people do in school, they just waste their parent money for nothing

You mean the language they used to enslaved you?

Writing correct English is not a must....... How many English (Britons) can write Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo?..... Commot there VC.

Peter Obi will win

English language challenge to most Nigerian graduates — DonThe Vice Chancellor of Godfrey Okoye University, Enugu, Prof. Christian Anieke, has said that speaking and writing English is a major challenge to many Nigerian graduates. Well it is not my mother tongue. It is a borrowed language. Is English language a measure of someone's intelligence? Just like other Nigerian languages & languages of the world, English is a language, but intended to colonize Africans . In Nigeria, is it all the languages u can speak? So why bother us about English language? Nonsense. This girl of about 6yrs speaks good, well constructed sentences I was forced to ask questions just to hear her talk. Pls leave matter
