Northern graduate's English gets people talking
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that a Nigerian man, Umar Bala Safana, has been trolled on Facebook over his use of English in a celebratory post he made.
The graduate, who claimed to reside in Katsina state, made a heartfelt post on Facebook with signing out photos in which he celebrated bagging his Nigerian Certificate in Education (NCE) degree.
The post was filled with grammatical errors and blunders too bad to be dismissed as typographical mistakes that many thought should not come from one who, by virtue of his degree, may become a teacher in the nearest future.
