In a recent revelation, controversial media personality and relationship expert Solomon Buchi stirred up a debate by asserting that Nigerians possess superior English language skills compared to Americans.
Expressing his views on the X platform, Buchi boldly stated, “Nigerians speak and write English better than Americans,” sparking discussions among netizens. However, he remained uncertain about Nigerians’ proficiency in spoken English compared to their British counterparts.
Delving deeper into his argument, Buchi highlighted a significant reason why Nigerians continue to undergo International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exams. He attributed this phenomenon to the country’s perceived poor political and economic standing, which impacts its international relations.
In his own words, Buchi articulated,
the only reason Nigerians still write IELTS is the poor political and economic prestige of the country that has rubbed off on international relations because Nigerians write and speak better English than Americans and most English-speaking countries that don’t require IELTS.”
Bucci’s outspoken nature continues to fuel discussions on various societal issues, prompting introspection and debate among his followers and critics alike.
