Open Letter to Nigerians – Please stop disrespecting your First Lady | By: Valentine

In the last one week the craze online is quite disgusting but Funny, with many attacking the first lady with malicious intent and purposes. Now I’m here to defend her as my mother and by virtue the mother of all Nigerians in this dispensation. She called a security meeting to contribute her own quota to finding lasting peace that is gradually evading us Nigerians as a nation.

I do know she has no right to summon the Head of the various military agencies, but she did had a security meeting…which those concerned ought to attend which they failed to attend for some political reasons. And you know Mama Peace is not a pretender, she says things the way she feels it, if you like lie about stuffs, when ever she grabs the mantle, she has this penchant of contradicting lies told to the general public.
But what disgusts me is the way many prominent Nigerians have castigated her in the last few days; starting with the Prof. Wole Soyinka to the last man out there who think they are well versed in the usage of English. The way folks undermined her prompted me to challenge and defend her because of the simple truth which is, we all have mothers and no one would fold his hands and allow their mothers disrespected the way we have done lately.
Way back in school the brightest student in our class had this same problem with ‘Spoken English’, the way he abused the language, with mother tongue interference will make one believe he is an Illiterate but he isn’t, when you try him in other spheres you will be amazed that he is a genius in obscurity.
Let’s not forget the language we speak is borrowed and nobody can claim ownership including the originators of the language, over the years many countries are adopting their own pattern of English, in years to come maybe we might just have our own peculiar unique Nigerian English, so before we start abusing the First Lady over some western Pedagogical concept, let us pause for a while and criticize with good intentions not this malicious wickedness that has been trending online lately.
