Yesterday (Sunday, March 6th) while addressing an event for Widows, Patience Jonathan, wife of the President Goodluck Jonathan started her speech thus: "My Fellow Widows..."
Linda dont mind @omo jooor, apology ko, apology ni!!! Dis woman is a disgrace to all of us. It is betta she shutz her trap dan to continue with this series of shameful bullets. Wot amazes me is the fact that she is a teacher, no wonder the Nigerian education sector is in itz deteriorated state.
The president's wife is supposed to go back to nursery school.Her English is unimaginable and highly embarrassing to a nation of 140,000,000 people.In one of her campaign speech recently,she was constantly calling PDP umbrella "unblera".She needs a good publicist.Linda can't apologize to her cos constructive criticism is good.
Anonymous 1: wait should she apologise to the 1st lady cause the lady cant speak proper english??? Was linda her teacher???ABEG!!!ps. diplomacy??? Yoruba??? wait i thought this was about bad english.....LOL!
Linda, free this woman biko. English is not her mother tongue. Although this is not an excuse for her bad grammar, but let us just assume that this is part of her and she cannot change.
@ Omo: Would you stop being such an ass kisser and wake up to reality. What is being diplomatic about saying Madam Patience, Peace or whatever her name is is not representing Nigeria well?
Why are u weeping more than the bereaved? 'Government good books' what exactly is that? U must be one of those pple who wore some nasty Tshirts welcoming Bode George back from prison and celebrating him. It is time we Nigerians woke up from our slumber to call a spade a spade.
The woman needs honest people around her to tell her she needs to step up her game and to keep to what is written down as a speech.I guess she cannot count on people like u.
What has Linda's mum got to do with it?
U keep being the power whore u want to become and in case u have not been told ASS KISSING is not a profession. Whatever is one's destiny must be fulfilled u don't need to escort Bode George from prison to fulfill your own destiny.
THE MAIN REASON Y JESUS SENT TO LIFE IS 2 RULE...AND SHE IS DOING IT...NO MATTERS HOW SHE MISTAKES..WE JUST HAVE TO ACCEPT IT...BCOS IF SHE DOESN'T DO THAT NOW...SUCH OPPORTUNITY WILL NEVA OCCUR.....LOLZ
You are a young lady. Please let me tell you, you need all the diplomacy you can afford to survive this complex world. Your stance is unnecessary affront to The Presidency.
While not attributing God's power to her, please note that it's people like Her excellency who can make or mar your aspirations. Please thread softly. Enough said
@TANIMOWO JOEL, u n wu will accept her as a ruler. Wat constitutional role does she hold. Abeg joooor. Diaz notin like dat. She should go n sit down somewhere. Since d day she haz been wasting money on her nation-wide women empowerment campaign, how many female aspirants du we have under PDP. And u want me to vote "unblerra". Lai lai.
Don't mind that stupid Omo when just dey talk any how,them send Jonathan wife to go out there? na so one day she go go meet Obama wife go disgrace us,make she dey stay for inside house abeg...Just now she been dey campaign dey tell people say make them put their tomb print for Umbrerra and Umblerra instead of Umbrella ,this woman no go stop? For her sake only i will start changing my mind regarding Jonathan,he should control his disgrace as a wife and first lady
What do you mean by "when it come's to people in power be diplomatic" ?? what about freedom of speech ? as a public figure she will be scrutinized. In an election year everything is scrutinized. I blame the campaign manager here, after the first few fumbles she should have been pulled from public speaking especially if it was not having the desired effect and becoming more of a joke and hindrance for the electoral campaign. we all make mistakes and we all should know our limits, in Mrs Goodlucks case since she may not realize this, there is a whole campaign team to advise her...
aren't there other first ladies in other countries that don't have a good command of the English language? or maybe its because English is our lingua franca...or maybe she didn't go to school at all? does anyone know her native tongue? Ikwerre, Kalabari, Ogoni, Ijaw???
Good debate. I agree with Chinwe. There is no excuse for such grammatical sucides. Madam is not duty bound to campaign. And think about it she is wasting money "distoying" the Joe brand. The earlier she takes the advise and sits down the better for her and uncle Joe. I am also not comfortable with the traffic chaos her visits bring to the cities being visited. In Phc last 2 weeks we spent like 1hr waiting for her to pass. And when she did it was with a whooping 45car entourage!
Make una liv our 1st lady alone,wt una big grammer whch ward und dey control,talkles of human bein...if u are nt ok wt her gramma,u ar allowd to put on BULLET PROOF...
@Omo, maye you are part of GEJ campaign. Even US press made fun of George Bush not to talk of our first lady. If you dont want to be laughed at, then do not make such comical mistake...lol
She is Okrika by birth and Beyelsa by marriage. Specifically, the hubby is from Otuoake in Ogia LGA of Bayelsa state. If she can do better in her native tongue, there is no reason why she should not and possibly get an interpreter.
No one has ever touched on the fact that she’s dyslexic. It’s too late to teach her anything now. It’s not the fault of her speech writer at all. The woman just cannot read. She needs a specialist who deals with dyslexic people. She will continue to disgrace us.
The first lady would have to give a speech every now and then. Since English is the ligua franca in Nigeria, I suggest she gets someone to help in her vocabulary as well as in diction polishing.... se fini!
Linda nwanne m, even though there is no excuse for Patience Jonathan's grammatical blunders bcos someone should have edited her speech or prepared a speech for her before she went for that event (like it is done for almost everyone I know who holds a bit of power-I his/her capacity).I would still suggest that you be careful of certain comments/articles you put up on your blog like Omo advised. You don't know when you may need her.
Remember , not everyone has a good heart like yours and most people visit your blog for one form of entertainment or another, not taking you into consideration. If it is okay, how come they are not all blogging about it also.
Besides, I believe Goodluck knows she is not the perfect First Lady and he hasn't replaced her yet. This also shows the kind of president we have. Lesser men would have pushed her to the background by now replacing her with someone with more charisma.
I prefer a 'goofing' Patience any day to a ruling 'Turai'.
Enough said, enjoy the rest of the day. still love you.
It Amazing how people have so much to say...you call her all soughts but she's still the first lady and thats a fact. At least she is making an effot. Majority of you will probably never get to where she is today, so why not support her. Good or bad english she is still the First Lady...now dats an achievement worth celebrating....after all a democracy is about giving the average person an opportunity.
We all know you are government agents and sycophants. Why don't you leave Linda alone, after all she is just reporting the 'news' It's not Linda's fault we have another Idiamin on our hands (I shall retaliate and all that jazz...)
Why don't you divert you energy into teaching 'her excellency' how to speak and read English (it's obvious she can't)
As for apologising, you must be joking. Apologise to her for what? If she were my mum, I would get her an English teacher.
Diplomacy...Linda tell them you will only practise that when 'her excellency' learns how to spell that word. Msscccheeewwww...
I dont know why the fist anonymous was attacking Linda.
The whole thing is on facebook, Twitter and Blackberry. So which one is Linda's own.
And this person sounds so much like an Ass kisser.
What do u mean by being diplomatic with people in power? Then this country will never move up with people who have your own kind of thinking.
Wake up and smell the coffee. Dame Patience is crap when it comes to spoken english. she needs to be tutored on public speaking. It;s becoming TOO ridiculous.
Y'all should be discussing about Mrs Jonathan Goodluck while she is in Aso rock making billions and enjoying her husband. She doesn't even know y'all exist bcos her friends are first ladies of other countries who do not even visit FB. None of u are known and some of u will not be known...u are only jealous because she is already where y'all aspire to be...As long as u understand her then that is effective communication. Only in Nigeria will u be disqualified as a good role model because u cannot speak english...how many english nationals living in naija can speak fluent yoruba or pidgin Pls get ur priorities right and get a life.
all these diplomacy....ass kissers . should give themselves a knock on the head. this is the reason why naija is the way it is, millions of ass kissers littered everywhere! if na poor man talk wetin Patie talk una no go laff tire?
Chilling, it has been dicovered that 90% of people with dyslexia improve with extra teaching time. dyslexia is sometimes confused with the "i dont care, i am indifferent" thing. if salawa abeni who only spoke yoruba at the time, could enrol to learn english from a private teacher, patience should do so too. she is seen as the standard nigerian woman, so she has to sit up...
Dame Patience Bullet no too worry me. Na Her Kleptomania be wahala. Abi una don forget about the Millions of Dollars that was traced to Her in 2006 wey Ribadu later come deny say him no talk am?
The only thing to know a Nigerian STUDENT is speaking "Half" English, as Britain will always rate us down in English speaking country left along the little Pidgin we can convert from the original as Americans do, but not making use of it. What happen to ITALIANS, SPANISH and all the rest of Latin speaking countries. They convert some words out of the original latin language and made it their language. but in Nigeria, not the same. We all are clowns
LMFAO!!!!! i'm not laughing at her incapability but been in a modern world and knowing you will be representing a whole bunch of people the 1st thing they should have done is private tutoring of how to be a lady which includes english language and phonetics
Your blog is about journalism I believe, freedom of speech, your opinion, speaking out, having fun...
I'm just asking that in all you do and all your posts, seek and inject some deeper wisdom. Take for example...
You and I know each other very well, we both have our phone numbers, we talk when necessary, support each other and have done some stuff together, but you don't know it's me writing.
Many come here to read regularly and move on without commenting...I for one hardly do (hence the name "Rare Poster")...I'm sure you already know observers and more than participants on your blog.
What I'm driving at is this, supposing you put up a post about me that looks like you're mocking me or someone I love, then 2mrw you call me for my help or support...I actually I got to know you by sheer determination after you posted a crude comment on me, years back when your attitude was...well, let's put it like this, no where near how nice it is now. I've since found out you're a better and nicer person close up...and I don't hold it.
I'm just calling for wisdom in all. Imagine walking into the office of that brand manager, official, etc whom you posted some satirical comment on, and you're seeking some approval,,,
Heck you needn't even enter that office, you're paper might just need to be signed at that office, that embassy, that...
Linda the exposure is too much on social media.
I'm in no way suggesting you become an ass kisser for the government or anyone at all, but I love you like a sister and all I'm saying is...
Post with wisdom, diplomacy and some level of restraint.
Check these thoughts:
...I will put a muzzle on my mouth as long as the wicked are in my presence." - Psalm 39:1b
He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from calamity.- Proverbs 21:23
Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but rather appeal to him as a father, to the younger men as brothers, the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, in all purity. - 1Timothy 5:1-2
@rare poster, i've read ur post over and over again and I can't figure out who u are...will rack my brain more. Meanwhile, on this issue, I hear u. I don't necessarily agree with u but I hear u. cheers
Linda, don't mind these sycophants going around and begging for favours in exchange of their voice/ conscience. Keep up your work my Sister! If anyone had a problem about your being opinionated, make him/her go HUG TRANSFORMER!!!
@anon 18.43...u sat behind me? are u serious? why didn't introduce urself? i'm vexing 4u...but i forgive u because of ur kind words...:-). But next time, say hello!
LOL! This is hilarious! this woman should just get an interpreter and speak her own language. And for those of you who are saying Linda should take down the posts, including Rare Poster writing volumes of meaningless nonsense... you people are the reason Nigeria is not developing. Fear of EVERYTHING in the name of respect. Our leaders are not held accountable for anything because Nigerians are too scared to speak up. Abeg if she does another one tomorrow, Linda please post it make we laugh tire. At the end of the day, she go enter aso rock go sleep.
God go bless Patience for this comic relief in this election time oh jare
Hymmm! O ga o... People are only after what to chop and not the truth.
The woman in question is not an ordinary person that is why the man is a 'mumu-the-man'; that should have bundled a stubborn illiterate out of him home a decade ago.
All the people close to her cannot tell her the truth like Linda. Her supporters are only after contracts and Aso Rock 'booties'. Shame on all of them.
As for those saying this and that, do you think Linda is an ordinary person too. Sho! E ja ki a pade ni orita meta.
Uhm yeah please stop posting such ridiculous comments! Linda should apologize! For what reason????
I truly hope you guys are kidding! And for that psycho/loser/ass kisser that said "her excellency can make or mar Linda" I'm truly scared of people like you. You must be one of those serious backwards thinking types.
Thank God man does not have power over us. When God says yes, no human being, not even her excellency that can't even spell the word diplomacy can say NO!
If God says Linda will make it, evil doers can't stop it.
Please it is 2011! Stop all this backward thinking.
Mr or Mrs Rare poster: Guess what too! It is 2011. Please stop that nonsense you're saying...You know Linda...mm good for you! If you truly know Linda and lover her and are good friends with her, why didn't you tell her on phone or in person instead of typing that rubbish on here. I'm suspecting you. You must be either a liar who doesn't know Linda or a coward/serious ass kisser! FYI her excellency (every time I type "her excellency" I LOL because she doesn't even know how to act like her excellency. That's how she'll meet Mrs. Obama and disgrace us. What a Shame!) is a public figure ok. I'm sure you're one of those people who will laugh at a poor person if they said the same thing. But because this woman that has stolen Nigerian's money is now rich thanks to OUR money, we should kiss the ground she walks on??????? GTFOH
Ignorant people need to wake up and realize it is 2011.
Please go back to your caves and stop making ridiculous statements.
Why can't someone get this lady a tutor? She should have an English tutor come in and work with her daily especially if she has to make a speech. Is English our first language? Na by force? Just speak in your native dialect and let someone else do the interpreting in English, madam haba! This is VERY embarassing!
All of you complaining are the reason why Nigeria is where she is. The first lady would probably get more credibility if she is the first first-lady to employ an interpreter. Beside how did a PHD holder live with such? tell the kind of person Mr president is and the type of govt we have. linda please go your job and leave as leakers who want the doom of the Nation.
Hymmm! O ga o... People are only after what to chop and not the truth.
The woman in question is not an ordinary person that is why the man is a 'mumu-the-man'; that should have bundled a stubborn illiterate out of his home a decade ago.

Emm...everybody, abeg chill the hell out, I don't believe Linda pointed it out to make a fool of her biko, cool it. It was funny, I laughed, and I moved the hell on. She is probably a good person even with the bad grammar AND probably knows about the snafu AND probably LAUGHED about it, so folks don't get your panties in a bunch, trust me I'm sure Madame First Lady is not bothered, as long as you respect her message. Laugh and move the F on abeg.
she need to hire someone to write her speech..even in U.S president use speech writer, i'm sure she can afford it, so she will just read the speech it will not look good on us(nigerians) if she is invited outside as a nigeria first lady and her speech is somehow.
And to those people who want linda to remove the post, you are out of your mind, and your type are ass-kissers. Mrs Jonathan need to know her speech are not good and need to find solution to it. There are other blogs, newspapers, soft magazine that carry the same story, please go and tell them to remove the story. your types are the reason why nigeria is not moving forward, you don't want to point out wrong doing because of fear oga go fire you, contract or bonus money no go come anymore...better repent before God thunder strike you all down And to the person misquoting the bible i pray God forgive you.
Linda biko di kwa nno careful. ndi obodo anyi (nigeria) di very wicked. ha nwere ike memina gi, especially as otu i wu onye igbo bia biri n'ebe di ka lagos.
owuru na i bi n'obodo oyibo, agaram asi gi gbachi ha nkiti na enweghi ihi meganu but lagos adighi safe (as u know already). ndi a n'ile nyere gi advice nwere ike i wu right-hand men to top government people. biko, gee kwara ha nti ka udo diri gi na ndi nke gi. i na-anu? biko...
hope u understand this o, it took some sweat to pull it together. lol.
Please OO. We are makin too much of what Lina said. If anyone heard that statement and did not cringe then you obviously are suffering from the years of looting the Govt has put or academic sector through.. Coyrtesy of ppl like Mrs Patience.
@Rare Poster since You are very good at quoting the Bible the please Read Psalm 1 and Daniel , it talks about the righteous man. When You see evil and dont change it or speak up against it out of fear or whatever the case is, You are like the evil You complain of.
@Omo if your mum made such grammatical error infront of your friends wont you have done all in ur power to improve her in private. Who is improving Her Excellency in private?
You feel that Linda should not comment but she only said wat we all were thinking when we first heard it.
Also God is in charge of anyone's future not the Govt and if someone like Patience can make it up there.. Well Linda it means ill be seeing you at the top in a few years time. Love K
Abeg, u all should free linda, she pointed out what everybody already knew n saw on national t.v. My mum stoped schooling in her primary 6 way back in d late 60's, she speaks good english n she never stops learning, whatever she does'nt know, she asks us her children, she self tought herself by reading books n television, my friends always ask me which university my mum finished from whenever they meet her n they r always suprised when i tell them she didn't go 2 higher institution, talkless of a whole first lady of d federal republic of nigeria n 2 think she was once a teacher & d wife of a very learned man, pls cut me some slack, she represents nigeria n she can't be representing us this way with bad grammar, she musn't even be talking after all obama's wife is not all up in d faces of d american's, so madam bullet should go brush herself up b4 she kills us all with her bad grammar.
why are people on this blog saying madam patience does not speak english? she does speak english but are you guys too dumb to realize that the poor woman has a problem with her voice? for goodness, it seems she had to have an operation on her voicebox donkey years ago which affects her speech! but then again you supposed experts did not know that!
Freedom of speech people! This is a serious issue and all her arse lickers should try and help her then. GEJ cannot stop this woman. She has refused to be swept aside despite the Diezani’s and Bianca’s lurking in the corner. I believe they speak Broken English or some Bayelsan/Riverian dialect at home. She has a speech writer but it is clear and simple she cannot read, write and speak. If she gets a good therapist she can cure her illiteracy. But to cure it you have to acknowledge there’s something wrong with you. I doubt if she’s bright enough to realise that!!
Anonymous March 7, 2011 3:50 PM,Please hold your own,you have tried too hard on this one,you can not say "MY FELLOW WIDOW" at all,if you are saying my fellow widow,you have to be a widow yourself.The mistake there is now WIDOWS at all but Referring to herself as a widow by calling the widows fellow.
Linda,I have one suggestion to make,I know in Nigeria we all try to act like we are unique but I think you should redesign the comment area on your blog in such a way that,when a blogger responds to a comment,the comment can come directly under the comment the blogger is commenting on,just a bit like Bellenaija.com.Don’t get me wrong though,big companies like Samsung and others copied the I pad made originally by apple so I wouldn’t see anything wrong in you copying an idea… I think bloggers will have more fun that way.
If she is looting, then speak about that not about her English. What if she is your mother or aunt? I am sure you have relatives who project bullets. Deal with them first.You do not insult to correct.
Anywhere I stand, Margaret Obi stand there too, if you carry ya women rish dia, protect ya vote; they have expand Enugu airport to make sure you can flew ya goods to south east, atink my husband & him junior broda have do well. mind you, we women have short time to born shidren, man can born shidren till 100yrs so dont let mans to use ya shidren as militancy or as togs or army robbering, ask ya youths to enter house”. - said by "Ʊ guys know who".
Well done Linda:ppl like d first lady are the types dt would want to employ somebody that has "cambridge".lol!.ordianry("ingilisi, she cant spoke").lol!
The funniest thing is that she wld soon be given an honorary professor for making her "Dictionary".lol!
Why would you say such a thing. People like you should be kicked out of Nigerian. It's your type that turn out to be future IBB's
What is your statement about Linda getting arrested supposed to mean. How about me saying I hope you get arrested and you will be at the mercy of man and not God.
You guys shld leave Linda aone, she's just reporting what news abi? I for one wld not put it like that, wld rather leave the laughing for my audience but again, people are different Shikena!!! by the way i would confess i laughed wen i watched the "umbrola" video on youtube, but after the video, i actually felt sorry for the woman, she didn't wish it on herself n any of us cld b in her shoes, but i hope a nice person wld advice her to go for english classes soon
ye! i have followed ur blog for yrs but dis is the first time i'll make a comment....yeeeeeee!!!!!!!who is dis no. 1 annonymous na?apo-what?!ah! what kind of pple do we have in dis country sef?!tiwa ma wa ba wa bayi o! (sorry non-yoruba speakers)with all due respect Mrs First lady shld register with a finishing school and save her husband,her family and the whole nation this embarassment.if linda's mum were first lady and an illiterate there r one million and one things she'd ave done to prevent the 'umblela' incident.there is no diplomacy in this mtter it's the truth and its more than glaring...i tire for ur type o annonymous no.1 (why do i ave dis strong feeling it's a guy?)bum-bum licker oshi!!!rabbish! govt good books...wt d heck is dt?!
Preparation always takes more time than performance. I have tried to read through the comments here; I have tried to view things from every side, should Linda be diplomatic about her posts? Or should she be John the Baptist radical, telling things as they are?Linda Ikeji, as a full grown woman and I believe you have a vision for your blog and you will run this blog in the way that bests suits you. My Focus isn't on whether it's right for Linda to post this up or not, I am more concerned about the readers of this blog, and I hope after either LOL, condemning GEJ’s wife, and Linda we have all learnt something. Self Development is very necessary; we all don't know where God is taking us to, so let’s prepare the basics to get there. We shouldn’t get there and start wondering, David, while tending to sheep fought with lions and one day defeated goliath If my Information is right patience started as a commissioner’s wife, then she became a deputy governor’s wife, and then the wife of a governor, and then Wife of the Vice President and now she is the Wife of the President, so in my opinion she really has no excuse, she kept climbing the ladder and never thought to improve herself. The Dame is just another Nigerian story and I wish her family luck but my concern goes out to all of us who have left one comment or the other on this post. What are you doing to develop yourself? Preparation always takes more time than performance, so while we are all still anonymous or with blogs we have no face to lets sharpen up so we can make the best out of the opportunities that life/fate/God will bring our way.
PS Linda please if people have obviously moved on you can post this and hopefully we can all learn a thing or two on self development.
Franni, your point you are an ass kisser cause you are supporting your fellow ass kisser who wants linda to remove the post..... abeg leave that story jo...your type are the reason why nigerians are not moving forward, this lady need to be corrected so she will not go outside and mess up...you are an ass kisser + hypocrite.
gimme a gun (AK-47 or dane gun will do) and let me gun down all these nit-wits bugging Linda on diplomacy parole... corrupt arse-wipes. How much were u all bribed to come say this nonsense here? Best bet for u punks, do ur shelling here too and trust me, we have our bullet-proof vest on point. diplomatic retards
@anon:7:23pm i'm beginnin to tink Linda replies or rather get sum1 to reply comments that doesn't suit her.How can sum 1 cry more than the bereaved. mayb i suld call it a cause or what are u trying to place on sum1 woo is catchin fun (as dat is part of wat this blog is all abt). Nigerians! we are just haters! no love... im pissed...!
Yes! linda is an one of the anonymous that replies back.she wants to maintain the 'good-girl' image.
As for those calling others ass-kissers, please remove the log from your own eyes before pointing out others! like a pot calling a kettle black!
I agree with what many of the commentators said, that you should be diplomatic and apply wisdom, for the fact that everybody is doing it, it does not mean you should follow the band wagon since you have a reputation and a business to run and maintain, because this is a small world.
You Linda, at times don't publish comments that don't suit you, as i believe this particular one won't see the light of the day as you did to ebele's comments in the past, who always told you the blunt truth...so,let me see you call off my bluff, and publish this comment for all to read and your sycophants ready to tear me apart!
some of u actually think I reply as anonymous and abuse people? lol.
Yeah, I understand it's quite difficult to believe that people who don't know u so well will come to ur defense so often and so passionately...it amazes me too...and humbles me. it's definitely one of the blessings of running this blog.
I've never disguised as anonymous to insult anyone. I'd never do a thing like that...i'd rather not upload the comment, which i do sometimes.
With all the cheques I'm getting, y'all can abuse me all u want...it's worth it! lol
BTW, there's no 'good girl' image here. I'm just a better version of who I used to be. Cheers
These people are so fixated on silliness and the frivolous... instead of these intellectuals to be thinking of how to make Nigeria the greatest nation in the world?
Instead of thinking of how to conquer the world? This fixation on Mrs. President has become an obsession for some!
It is so appalling!
There a war going on in our neighborhood, in Libya and there is another war looming in Ivory Coast... and we are so ensconced in the matter of British phonetics?
Here in America, everyday, I encounter folks who do not care about "proper English" and the silliness of rules of Grammar, and they are achievers and highflyers and almost always more CONFIDENT than most Nigerians with "superior" grammar
Na grammar we go chop?
Did I migrate to the USA because Nigerian public officials MURDER grammar or because of improper allocation and mismanagement of resources? Misplacement of priorities etc!
We carry elephant for head, we still dey dig for cricket for protein?
We must get serious!!!
The pertinent question is:
Does her audience UNDERSTAND her?
If yes, then stuff it!
I prefer her to that comedian in Edo State, who
can´t communicate with his high sounding, inappropriate
words, crammed from the dictionary! And he gets PAID for
I don't know what this first anonymous guy is about, but I do agree with Chima. for pity's sake, she does not have to continue to make a fool of us all. She should be forced to stick to whatever her speech writer gives her. At least she can read. To think that she is a teacher!!!!!

Omo
Lmao... is dat a hint that she has finished work on Jona?!!! Christ have mercy!
Damn it! She just pronounced uncle jona dead.
Haba, on a serious note who is this womans speech writer?
eni to lori ko ni filaa ni oro yi jeee...Money is not every thing..the more u leave the more u learn.....
Dis is a very serious subject...bt we have to adapt with her.....and learn 4rm her mistakes.....(skulboyed fimile)
Linda dont mind @omo jooor, apology ko, apology ni!!! Dis woman is a disgrace to all of us. It is betta she shutz her trap dan to continue with this series of shameful bullets. Wot amazes me is the fact that she is a teacher, no wonder the Nigerian education sector is in itz deteriorated state.
The president's wife is supposed to go back to nursery school.Her English is unimaginable and highly embarrassing to a nation of 140,000,000 people.In one of her campaign speech recently,she was constantly calling PDP umbrella "unblera".She needs a good publicist.Linda can't apologize to her cos constructive criticism is good.
hehehehe...but na true na.
na life uncle Jona dey live?
Anonymous 1: wait should she apologise to the 1st lady cause the lady cant speak proper english??? Was linda her teacher???ABEG!!!ps. diplomacy??? Yoruba??? wait i thought this was about bad english.....LOL!
Linda, free this woman biko. English is not her mother tongue. Although this is not an excuse for her bad grammar, but let us just assume that this is part of her and she cannot change.
hahahahaha! I had to laugh out loud at this one.
@ Omo: Would you stop being such an ass kisser and wake up to reality. What is being diplomatic about saying Madam Patience, Peace or whatever her name is is not representing Nigeria well?
Why are u weeping more than the bereaved? 'Government good books' what exactly is that?
U must be one of those pple who wore some nasty Tshirts welcoming Bode George back from prison and celebrating him. It is time we Nigerians woke up from our slumber to call a spade a spade.
The woman needs honest people around her to tell her she needs to step up her game and to keep to what is written down as a speech.I guess she cannot count on people like u.
What has Linda's mum got to do with it?
U keep being the power whore u want to become and in case u have not been told ASS KISSING is not a profession. Whatever is one's destiny must be fulfilled u don't need to escort Bode George from prison to fulfill your own destiny.
Chinwe
THE MAIN REASON Y JESUS SENT TO LIFE IS 2 RULE...AND SHE IS DOING IT...NO MATTERS HOW SHE MISTAKES..WE JUST HAVE TO ACCEPT IT...BCOS IF SHE DOESN'T DO THAT NOW...SUCH OPPORTUNITY WILL NEVA OCCUR.....LOLZ
Bravo, Bravo. well said Chinwe. my points exactly
Linda,
You are a young lady. Please let me tell you, you need all the diplomacy you can afford to survive this complex world. Your stance is unnecessary affront to The Presidency.
While not attributing God's power to her, please note that it's people like Her excellency who can make or mar your aspirations. Please thread softly. Enough said
@TANIMOWO JOEL, u n wu will accept her as a ruler. Wat constitutional role does she hold. Abeg joooor. Diaz notin like dat. She should go n sit down somewhere. Since d day she haz been wasting money on her nation-wide women empowerment campaign, how many female aspirants du we have under PDP. And u want me to vote "unblerra". Lai lai.
Don't mind that stupid Omo when just dey talk any how,them send Jonathan wife to go out there? na so one day she go go meet Obama wife go disgrace us,make she dey stay for inside house abeg...Just now she been dey campaign dey tell people say make them put their tomb print for Umbrerra and Umblerra instead of Umbrella ,this woman no go stop? For her sake only i will start changing my mind regarding Jonathan,he should control his disgrace as a wife and first lady
she herself is a blunder...
What do you mean by "when it come's to people in power be diplomatic" ?? what about freedom of speech ? as a public figure she will be scrutinized.
In an election year everything is scrutinized. I blame the campaign manager here, after the first few fumbles she should have been pulled from public speaking especially if it was not having the desired effect and becoming more of a joke and hindrance for the electoral campaign.
we all make mistakes and we all should know our limits, in Mrs Goodlucks case since she may not realize this, there is a whole campaign team to advise her...
Amanda
aren't there other first ladies in other countries that don't have a good command of the English language? or maybe its because English is our lingua franca...or maybe she didn't go to school at all?
does anyone know her native tongue? Ikwerre, Kalabari, Ogoni, Ijaw???
Good debate. I agree with Chinwe. There is no excuse for such grammatical sucides. Madam is not duty bound to campaign. And think about it she is wasting money "distoying" the Joe brand. The earlier she takes the advise and sits down the better for her and uncle Joe. I am also not comfortable with the traffic chaos her visits bring to the cities being visited. In Phc last 2 weeks we spent like 1hr waiting for her to pass. And when she did it was with a whooping 45car entourage!
45 cars?!?!?!?! O_o
WHAAAAAAAAAAAA????
OMG i can't stop laughin this woman will not kill me
Na wetin Linda go apologize for?
Abegi,make we hear word jor!
Is it Linda that told her to say I was once a children?
9ja's r so docile and cowardly when it's time to speak the truth. No wonder there are animals ruling that country.
Madam bullet has got nothing to offer Linda or anyone for that mater.
Patience should go take some speech lessons or something. Life is not all about gold and diamonds from Lebanon!
Make una liv our 1st lady alone,wt una big grammer whch ward und dey control,talkles of human bein...if u are nt ok wt her gramma,u ar allowd to put on BULLET PROOF...
@Omo, maye you are part of GEJ campaign. Even US press made fun of George Bush not to talk of our first lady. If you dont want to be laughed at, then do not make such comical mistake...lol
She is Okrika by birth and Beyelsa by marriage. Specifically, the hubby is from Otuoake in Ogia LGA of Bayelsa state. If she can do better in her native tongue, there is no reason why she should not and possibly get an interpreter.
No one has ever touched on the fact that she’s dyslexic. It’s too late to teach her anything now. It’s not the fault of her speech writer at all. The woman just cannot read. She needs a specialist who deals with dyslexic people. She will continue to disgrace us.
Linda is a graduate of English, so she can correct the First Lady.
At times, we tell Linda when she makes minor spelling mistakes, don't we?
You can say 'my fellow widow' but not 'my fellow widows'. Say the truth, everyone!
The first lady would have to give a speech every now and then. Since English is the ligua franca in Nigeria, I suggest she gets someone to help in her vocabulary as well as in diction polishing.... se fini!
Linda nwanne m, even though there is no excuse for Patience Jonathan's grammatical blunders bcos someone should have edited her speech or prepared a speech for her before she went for that event (like it is done for almost everyone I know who holds a bit of power-I his/her capacity).I would still suggest that you be careful of certain comments/articles you put up on your blog like Omo advised. You don't know when you may need her.
Remember , not everyone has a good heart like yours and most people visit your blog for one form of entertainment or another, not taking you into consideration. If it is okay, how come they are not all blogging about it also.
Besides, I believe Goodluck knows she is not the perfect First Lady and he hasn't replaced her yet. This also shows the kind of president we have. Lesser men would have pushed her to the background by now replacing her with someone with more charisma.
I prefer a 'goofing' Patience any day to a ruling 'Turai'.
Enough said, enjoy the rest of the day. still love you.
I literally LAUGHED OUT LOUD at work. That's funny. I'm still giggling thinking about it. hahahaha
It Amazing how people have so much to say...you call her all soughts but she's still the first lady and thats a fact. At least she is making an effot. Majority of you will probably never get to where she is today, so why not support her. Good or bad english she is still the First Lady...now dats an achievement worth celebrating....after all a democracy is about giving the average person an opportunity.
@anon (9.33) & (12.10)
We all know you are government agents and sycophants. Why don't you leave Linda alone, after all she is just reporting the 'news' It's not Linda's fault we have another Idiamin on our hands (I shall retaliate and all that jazz...)
Why don't you divert you energy into teaching 'her excellency' how to speak and read English (it's obvious she can't)
As for apologising, you must be joking. Apologise to her for what? If she were my mum, I would get her an English teacher.
Diplomacy...Linda tell them you will only practise that when 'her excellency' learns how to spell that word. Msscccheeewwww...
I dont know why the fist anonymous was attacking Linda.
The whole thing is on facebook, Twitter and Blackberry. So which one is Linda's own.
And this person sounds so much like an Ass kisser.
What do u mean by being diplomatic with people in power? Then this country will never move up with people who have your own kind of thinking.
Wake up and smell the coffee. Dame Patience is crap when it comes to spoken english. she needs to be tutored on public speaking. It;s becoming TOO ridiculous.
She doesn't have to address the people if she can't speak good English. She should save herself this embarrassment abeg.
Y'all should be discussing about Mrs Jonathan Goodluck while she is in Aso rock making billions and enjoying her husband. She doesn't even know y'all exist bcos her friends are first ladies of other countries who do not even visit FB. None of u are known and some of u will not be known...u are only jealous because she is already where y'all aspire to be...As long as u understand her then that is effective communication.
Only in Nigeria will u be disqualified as a good role model because u cannot speak english...how many english nationals living in naija can speak fluent yoruba or pidgin
Pls get ur priorities right and get a life.
*Jaw drops!*
www.oluwatobiadelakun.blogspot.com
all these diplomacy....ass kissers . should give themselves a knock on the head. this is the reason why naija is the way it is, millions of ass kissers littered everywhere! if na poor man talk wetin Patie talk una no go laff tire?
msschew nonsense!
Chilling, it has been dicovered that 90% of people with dyslexia improve with extra teaching time. dyslexia is sometimes confused with the "i dont care, i am indifferent" thing. if salawa abeni who only spoke yoruba at the time, could enrol to learn english from a private teacher, patience should do so too. she is seen as the standard nigerian woman, so she has to sit up...
Dame Patience Bullet no too worry me.
Na Her Kleptomania be wahala.
Abi una don forget about the Millions of Dollars that was traced to Her in 2006 wey Ribadu later come deny say him no talk am?
The only thing to know a Nigerian STUDENT is speaking "Half" English, as Britain will always rate us down in English speaking country left along the little Pidgin we can convert from the original as Americans do, but not making use of it. What happen to ITALIANS, SPANISH and all the rest of Latin speaking countries. They convert some words out of the original latin language and made it their language. but in Nigeria, not the same. We all are clowns
LMFAO!!!!!
i'm not laughing at her incapability but been in a modern world and knowing you will be representing a whole bunch of people the 1st thing they should have done is private tutoring of how to be a lady which includes english language and phonetics
Dear Linda,
Your blog is about journalism I believe, freedom of speech, your opinion, speaking out, having fun...
I'm just asking that in all you do and all your posts, seek and inject some deeper wisdom. Take for example...
You and I know each other very well, we both have our phone numbers, we talk when necessary, support each other and have done some stuff together, but you don't know it's me writing.
Many come here to read regularly and move on without commenting...I for one hardly do (hence the name "Rare Poster")...I'm sure you already know observers and more than participants on your blog.
What I'm driving at is this, supposing you put up a post about me that looks like you're mocking me or someone I love, then 2mrw you call me for my help or support...I actually I got to know you by sheer determination after you posted a crude comment on me, years back when your attitude was...well, let's put it like this, no where near how nice it is now. I've since found out you're a better and nicer person close up...and I don't hold it.
I'm just calling for wisdom in all. Imagine walking into the office of that brand manager, official, etc whom you posted some satirical comment on, and you're seeking some approval,,,
Heck you needn't even enter that office, you're paper might just need to be signed at that office, that embassy, that...
Linda the exposure is too much on social media.
I'm in no way suggesting you become an ass kisser for the government or anyone at all, but I love you like a sister and all I'm saying is...
Post with wisdom, diplomacy and some level of restraint.
Check these thoughts:
...I will put a muzzle on my mouth as long as the wicked are in my presence." - Psalm 39:1b
He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from calamity.- Proverbs 21:23
Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but rather appeal to him as a father, to the younger men as brothers, the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, in all purity. - 1Timothy 5:1-2
Lots of love.
LMAO.....
@Rare Poster...Words of wisdom. Kudos
@rare poster, i've read ur post over and over again and I can't figure out who u are...will rack my brain more. Meanwhile, on this issue, I hear u. I don't necessarily agree with u but I hear u. cheers
I didnt want to laugh but my sense of humour gave in....LMAO!!!Oh no!
www.gistdotcom.blogspot.com
Linda, don't mind these sycophants going around and begging for favours in exchange of their voice/ conscience.
Keep up your work my Sister! If anyone had a problem about your being opinionated, make him/her go HUG TRANSFORMER!!!
ooh linda,
u re so sweet.i sat right behind you @ d cinema today and was watching you truout.
you are such a lovely lady.keep it up.....
@anon 18.43...u sat behind me? are u serious? why didn't introduce urself? i'm vexing 4u...but i forgive u because of ur kind words...:-). But next time, say hello!
LOL! This is hilarious! this woman should just get an interpreter and speak her own language. And for those of you who are saying Linda should take down the posts, including Rare Poster writing volumes of meaningless nonsense... you people are the reason Nigeria is not developing. Fear of EVERYTHING in the name of respect. Our leaders are not held accountable for anything because Nigerians are too scared to speak up.
Abeg if she does another one tomorrow, Linda please post it make we laugh tire. At the end of the day, she go enter aso rock go sleep.
God go bless Patience for this comic relief in this election time oh jare
Hymmm! O ga o... People are only after what to chop and not the truth.
The woman in question is not an ordinary person that is why the man is a 'mumu-the-man'; that should have bundled a stubborn illiterate out of him home a decade ago.
All the people close to her cannot tell her the truth like Linda. Her supporters are only after contracts and Aso Rock 'booties'. Shame on all of them.
As for those saying this and that, do you think Linda is an ordinary person too. Sho! E ja ki a pade ni orita meta.
@Rare Posters and other ass kissers:
Uhm yeah please stop posting such ridiculous comments! Linda should apologize! For what reason????
I truly hope you guys are kidding! And for that psycho/loser/ass kisser that said "her excellency can make or mar Linda" I'm truly scared of people like you. You must be one of those serious backwards thinking types.
Thank God man does not have power over us. When God says yes, no human being, not even her excellency that can't even spell the word diplomacy can say NO!
If God says Linda will make it, evil doers can't stop it.
Please it is 2011! Stop all this backward thinking.
Mr or Mrs Rare poster: Guess what too! It is 2011. Please stop that nonsense you're saying...You know Linda...mm good for you! If you truly know Linda and lover her and are good friends with her, why didn't you tell her on phone or in person instead of typing that rubbish on here. I'm suspecting you. You must be either a liar who doesn't know Linda or a coward/serious ass kisser! FYI her excellency (every time I type "her excellency" I LOL because she doesn't even know how to act like her excellency. That's how she'll meet Mrs. Obama and disgrace us. What a Shame!) is a public figure ok. I'm sure you're one of those people who will laugh at a poor person if they said the same thing. But because this woman that has stolen Nigerian's money is now rich thanks to OUR money, we should kiss the ground she walks on??????? GTFOH
Ignorant people need to wake up and realize it is 2011.
Please go back to your caves and stop making ridiculous statements.
Why can't someone get this lady a tutor? She should have an English tutor come in and work with her daily especially if she has to make a speech. Is English our first language? Na by force? Just speak in your native dialect and let someone else do the interpreting in English, madam haba! This is VERY embarassing!
All of you complaining are the reason why Nigeria is where she is. The first lady would probably get more credibility if she is the first first-lady to employ an interpreter. Beside how did a PHD holder live with such? tell the kind of person Mr president is and the type of govt we have. linda please go your job and leave as leakers who want the doom of the Nation.
Hymmm! O ga o... People are only after what to chop and not the truth.
The woman in question is not an ordinary person that is why the man is a 'mumu-the-man'; that should have bundled a stubborn illiterate out of his home a decade ago.
All the people close to her cannot tell her the truth like Linda. Her supporters are only after contracts and Aso Rock 'booties'. Shame on all of them.
As for those saying this and that, do you think Linda is an ordinary person too. Sho! E ja ki a pade ni orita meta.
Maybe she should speak in her local dialect with an interpreter... like seriously.. this is getting too bad.. and embarrassing.
Emm...everybody, abeg chill the hell out, I don't believe Linda pointed it out to make a fool of her biko, cool it. It was funny, I laughed, and I moved the hell on. She is probably a good person even with the bad grammar AND probably knows about the snafu AND probably LAUGHED about it, so folks don't get your panties in a bunch, trust me I'm sure Madame First Lady is not bothered, as long as you respect her message. Laugh and move the F on abeg.
she need to hire someone to write her speech..even in U.S president use speech writer, i'm sure she can afford it, so she will just read the speech it will not look good on us(nigerians) if she is invited outside as a nigeria first lady and her speech is somehow.
And to those people who want linda to remove the post, you are out of your mind, and your type are ass-kissers. Mrs Jonathan need to know her speech are not good and need to find solution to it. There are other blogs, newspapers, soft magazine that carry the same story, please go and tell them to remove the story. your types are the reason why nigeria is not moving forward, you don't want to point out wrong doing because of fear oga go fire you, contract or bonus money no go come anymore...better repent before God thunder strike you all down
And to the person misquoting the bible i pray God forgive you.
Linda biko di kwa nno careful. ndi obodo anyi (nigeria) di very wicked. ha nwere ike memina gi, especially as otu i wu onye igbo bia biri n'ebe di ka lagos.
owuru na i bi n'obodo oyibo, agaram asi gi gbachi ha nkiti na enweghi ihi meganu but lagos adighi safe (as u know already). ndi a n'ile nyere gi advice nwere ike i wu right-hand men to top government people. biko, gee kwara ha nti ka udo diri gi na ndi nke gi. i na-anu? biko...
hope u understand this o, it took some sweat to pull it together. lol.
Please OO. We are makin too much of what Lina said. If anyone heard that statement and did not cringe then you obviously are suffering from the years of looting the Govt has put or academic sector through.. Coyrtesy of ppl like Mrs Patience.
@Rare Poster since You are very good at quoting the Bible the please Read Psalm 1 and Daniel , it talks about the righteous man. When You see evil and dont change it or speak up against it out of fear or whatever the case is, You are like the evil You complain of.
@Omo if your mum made such grammatical error infront of your friends wont you have done all in ur power to improve her in private. Who is improving Her Excellency in private?
You feel that Linda should not comment but she only said wat we all were thinking when we first heard it.
Also God is in charge of anyone's future not the Govt and if someone like Patience can make it up there.. Well Linda it means ill be seeing you at the top in a few years time. Love K
i think you should be more diplomatic though. politics is very sensitive and you do have a face to your blog
Abeg, u all should free linda, she pointed out what everybody already knew n saw on national t.v. My mum stoped schooling in her primary 6 way back in d late 60's, she speaks good english n she never stops learning, whatever she does'nt know, she asks us her children, she self tought herself by reading books n television, my friends always ask me which university my mum finished from whenever they meet her n they r always suprised when i tell them she didn't go 2 higher institution, talkless of a whole first lady of d federal republic of nigeria n 2 think she was once a teacher & d wife of a very learned man, pls cut me some slack, she represents nigeria n she can't be representing us this way with bad grammar, she musn't even be talking after all obama's wife is not all up in d faces of d american's, so madam bullet should go brush herself up b4 she kills us all with her bad grammar.
why are people on this blog saying madam patience does not speak english? she does speak english but are you guys too dumb to realize that the poor woman has a problem with her voice? for goodness, it seems she had to have an operation on her voicebox donkey years ago which affects her speech! but then again you supposed experts did not know that!
Freedom of speech people! This is a serious issue and all her arse lickers should try and help her then. GEJ cannot stop this woman. She has refused to be swept aside despite the Diezani’s and Bianca’s lurking in the corner. I believe they speak Broken English or some Bayelsan/Riverian dialect at home. She has a speech writer but it is clear and simple she cannot read, write and speak. If she gets a good therapist she can cure her illiteracy. But to cure it you have to acknowledge there’s something wrong with you. I doubt if she’s bright enough to realise that!!
Anonymous March 7, 2011 3:50 PM,Please hold your own,you have tried too hard on this one,you can not say "MY FELLOW WIDOW" at all,if you are saying my fellow widow,you have to be a widow yourself.The mistake there is now WIDOWS at all but Referring to herself as a widow by calling the widows fellow.
Linda,I have one suggestion to make,I know in Nigeria we all try to act like we are unique but I think you should redesign the comment area on your blog in such a way that,when a blogger responds to a comment,the comment can come directly under the comment the blogger is commenting on,just a bit like Bellenaija.com.Don’t get me wrong though,big companies like Samsung and others copied the I pad made originally by apple so I wouldn’t see anything wrong in you copying an idea… I think bloggers will have more fun that way.
If she is looting, then speak about that not about her English. What if she is your mother or aunt? I am sure you have relatives who project bullets. Deal with them first.You do not insult to correct.
Tommy touché! I thought about telling Linda a while ago as well but in all honesty other blogs that do it look way too messy. I dislike clutter, but that’s just me. Look at Nairaland.com for example the comments there look so untidy. Also, when a comment is too long, you just don’t want to hit reply on that comment. It will replicate the very long comment and your comment. It’s the same on Enrique Iglesias’s website. I find them winding. We’ll all become serial repliers as well! Sometimes i don’t go back to check a post and with the reply hyperlink, someone will always want to have the last say. Linda, if there’s a way you can tweak it to ensure the comments still look clean, bravo!!
lol... abeg make she just go be presidential house wife lol.
Rare Poster was being realistic. I kinda relate to what she said. Also wt wat d Igbo-speaker said.
I'm №† an arse-kisser or anything. I'm being real.
Dat much being said, I couldn't resist dis one...
Anywhere I stand, Margaret Obi stand there too, if you carry ya women rish dia, protect ya vote; they have expand Enugu airport to make sure you can flew ya goods to south east, atink my husband & him junior broda have do well. mind you, we women have short time to born shidren, man can born shidren till 100yrs so dont let mans to use ya shidren as militancy or as togs or army robbering, ask ya youths to enter house”. - said by "Ʊ guys know who".
Linda has been arrested for this!!! let's help her out, she's still rolling and begging Her Excellency!!...so plssssss divert
Well done Linda:ppl like d first lady are the types dt would want to employ somebody that has "cambridge".lol!.ordianry("ingilisi, she cant spoke").lol!
The funniest thing is that she wld soon be given an honorary professor for making her "Dictionary".lol!
@Anon 4:24
Why would you say such a thing. People like you should be kicked out of Nigerian. It's your type that turn out to be future IBB's
What is your statement about Linda getting arrested supposed to mean. How about me saying I hope you get arrested and you will be at the mercy of man and not God.
What a friggin Loser!
You guys shld leave Linda aone, she's just reporting what news abi? I for one wld not put it like that, wld rather leave the laughing for my audience but again, people are different Shikena!!!
by the way i would confess i laughed wen i watched the "umbrola" video on youtube, but after the video, i actually felt sorry for the woman, she didn't wish it on herself n any of us cld b in her shoes, but i hope a nice person wld advice her to go for english classes soon
http://chizys-spyware.blogspot.com/
ye! i have followed ur blog for yrs but dis is the first time i'll make a comment....yeeeeeee!!!!!!!who is dis no. 1 annonymous na?apo-what?!ah! what kind of pple do we have in dis country sef?!tiwa ma wa ba wa bayi o!
(sorry non-yoruba speakers)with all due respect Mrs First lady shld register with a finishing school and save her husband,her family and the whole nation this embarassment.if linda's mum were first lady and an illiterate there r one million and one things she'd ave done to prevent the 'umblela' incident.there is no diplomacy in this mtter it's the truth and its more than glaring...i tire for ur type o annonymous no.1 (why do i ave dis strong feeling it's a guy?)bum-bum licker oshi!!!rabbish! govt good books...wt d heck is dt?!
Preparation always takes more time than performance.
I have tried to read through the comments here; I have tried to view things from every side, should Linda be diplomatic about her posts? Or should she be John the Baptist radical, telling things as they are?Linda Ikeji, as a full grown woman and I believe you have a vision for your blog and you will run this blog in the way that bests suits you.
My Focus isn't on whether it's right for Linda to post this up or not, I am more concerned about the readers of this blog, and I hope after either LOL, condemning GEJ’s wife, and Linda we have all learnt something.
Self Development is very necessary; we all don't know where God is taking us to, so let’s prepare the basics to get there. We shouldn’t get there and start wondering, David, while tending to sheep fought with lions and one day defeated goliath
If my Information is right patience started as a commissioner’s wife, then she became a deputy governor’s wife, and then the wife of a governor, and then Wife of the Vice President and now she is the Wife of the President, so in my opinion she really has no excuse, she kept climbing the ladder and never thought to improve herself.
The Dame is just another Nigerian story and I wish her family luck but my concern goes out to all of us who have left one comment or the other on this post. What are you doing to develop yourself? Preparation always takes more time than performance, so while we are all still anonymous or with blogs we have no face to lets sharpen up so we can make the best out of the opportunities that life/fate/God will bring our way.
PS Linda please if people have obviously moved on you can post this and hopefully we can all learn a thing or two on self development.
Anoda anony that wants to feel relevant with loonnnnggg speech.
Franni, your point you are an ass kisser cause you are supporting your fellow ass kisser who wants linda to remove the post..... abeg leave that story jo...your type are the reason why nigerians are not moving forward, this lady need to be corrected so she will not go outside and mess up...you are an ass kisser + hypocrite.
gimme a gun (AK-47 or dane gun will do) and let me gun down all these nit-wits bugging Linda on diplomacy parole... corrupt arse-wipes. How much were u all bribed to come say this nonsense here? Best bet for u punks, do ur shelling here too and trust me, we have our bullet-proof vest on point. diplomatic retards
@anon:7:23pm i'm beginnin to tink Linda replies or rather get sum1 to reply comments that doesn't suit her.How can sum 1 cry more than the bereaved. mayb i suld call it a cause or what are u trying to place on sum1 woo is catchin fun (as dat is part of wat this blog is all abt). Nigerians! we are just haters! no love... im pissed...!
Linda ride on
nobody is perfect.
we all do make mistakes in our written and verbal exchange of words.
i flow in the same train of thought with the first anonymous.
Yes! linda is an one of the anonymous that replies back.she wants to maintain the 'good-girl' image.
As for those calling others ass-kissers, please remove the log from your own eyes before pointing out others! like a pot calling a kettle black!
I agree with what many of the commentators said, that you should be diplomatic and apply wisdom, for the fact that everybody is doing it, it does not mean you should follow the band wagon since you have a reputation and a business to run and maintain, because this is a small world.
You Linda, at times don't publish comments that don't suit you, as i believe this particular one won't see the light of the day as you did to ebele's comments in the past, who always told you the blunt truth...so,let me see you call off my bluff, and publish this comment for all to read and your sycophants ready to tear me apart!
some of u actually think I reply as anonymous and abuse people? lol.
Yeah, I understand it's quite difficult to believe that people who don't know u so well will come to ur defense so often and so passionately...it amazes me too...and humbles me. it's definitely one of the blessings of running this blog.
I've never disguised as anonymous to insult anyone. I'd never do a thing like that...i'd rather not upload the comment, which i do sometimes.
With all the cheques I'm getting, y'all can abuse me all u want...it's worth it! lol
BTW, there's no 'good girl' image here. I'm just a better version of who I used to be.
Cheers
in response to anon 3:50pm; i think its more appropraite u say 'fellow widow(s)' than 'my fellow widow'!
These people are so fixated on silliness and the frivolous... instead of these intellectuals to be thinking of how to make Nigeria the greatest nation in the world?
Instead of thinking of how to conquer the world? This fixation on Mrs. President has become an obsession for some!
It is so appalling!
There a war going on in our neighborhood, in Libya and there is another war looming in Ivory Coast... and we are so ensconced in the matter of British phonetics?
Here in America, everyday, I encounter folks who do not care about "proper English" and the silliness of rules of Grammar, and they are achievers and highflyers and almost always more CONFIDENT than most Nigerians with "superior" grammar
Na grammar we go chop?
Did I migrate to the USA because Nigerian public officials MURDER grammar or because of improper allocation and mismanagement of resources? Misplacement of priorities etc!
We carry elephant for head, we still dey dig for cricket for protein?
We must get serious!!!
The pertinent question is:
Does her audience UNDERSTAND her?
If yes, then stuff it!
I prefer her to that comedian in Edo State, who
can´t communicate with his high sounding, inappropriate
words, crammed from the dictionary! And he gets PAID for
it! Jeez!
I don't know what this first anonymous guy is about, but I do agree with Chima. for pity's sake, she does not have to continue to make a fool of us all. She should be forced to stick to whatever her speech writer gives her. At least she can read. To think that she is a teacher!!!!!
