This is Kenyan President William Ruto boasting that Kenyans speak better English than Nigerians 🤣🤣🤣 He is confusing accent with diction. When African presidents boast that their citizens speak “better English” than others, they are not demonstrating a strong education system, as Ruto claims, they are showcasing a deep inferiority complex rooted in colonial conditioning. English is a colonial language, not a measure of intelligence, capability, or national progress. You can be fully fluent in a language and still have an accent that is difficult for some listeners to understand, as Nigerians do. Fluency means you have a strong command of vocabulary, grammar, and the ability to express ideas. Accent, on the other hand, relates to pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation, which are shaped by your first language and speech environment, which is what Ruto is confusing with good English. Has he ever had someone from Scotland, Liverpool, or Birmingham speak? Accents are a natural linguistic outcome, not a measure of education. They emerge from the influence of a person’s first language, the sounds and speech patterns they grow up with, and the environment in which they learn and use another language. Every language has its own phonetic structure, and when people speak a second language like English, those underlying patterns shape pronunciation, rhythm, and tone. That is why accents vary across regions and countries. They reflect history, identity, and exposure, not intellectual or educational superiority. I know that there is some kind of tension between Nigeria and Kenya, but such misleading statements undermine the confidence of young people. When they hear a president speak like that about how they speak, it erodes their self-belief, and that is not a good thing to come from a president.

👋Dear friends, Millions of Spaniards in the streets celebrating the World Cup victory, refusing to be manipulated by the discourse of the government that ALL Spaniards suffer under — the most antisemitic in Europe. And you take as the representative standard of all that a few nutcases — one with the name “Munib” on his back, which already gives a clue… — desecrating the Israeli flag? Two days in which Spain has poured into the streets, and the only incidents have been staged by radical Basque and Catalan separatists, two of the biggest hubs of anti-Israelism in the entire world, cradles of the pro-Hamas flotillas, with Hezbollah members embedded in their ranks… verbally and physically attacking Spanish fans. Spaniards are very far removed from their government. Sánchez shows up in a football stadium in Spain, in the World Cup final itself, and the crowd chants “son of a bitch” at him in unison. The radically anti-Israeli stance of the current Government does not reflect the majority sentiment of Spanish society. It is an ideological agenda and a smokescreen. Within a foreseeable timeframe Spain can have a government favourable to Israel. If by then an artificial social animosity toward the Jewish state has been constructed by attributing to the Spanish people as a whole the decisions of an executive that does not represent the majority on this issue, a strategic error of serious consequences will have been committed. Attacking the country instead of the government that runs it is, quite simply, unintelligent.Trying to present a few isolated individuals who desecrate the Israeli flag as representative of the majority feeling of the Spanish people constitutes deliberate manipulation. Why don’t you talk about how, on a day of pride and celebration for every Spaniard, the pro-Hamas idiot with the usual flag inevitably showed up to politicise and foul everything up as always — only to be booed by the Spanish crowd? 😉 Best!

DON’T TELL US HOW TO SPEAK! Just as any two living creatures have a common ancestor in the tree of life, so any two languages have a common tongue from which they ultimately derived. Scientists currently believe that the world’s 6,000 modern languages, from English to Mandarin, can all be traced back to a ‘mother tongue’ - an ancestral language spoken in Africa 50,000 to 70,000 years ago. Differently put: all languages are descended from primordial African! This makes it all the more galling that Africans who visit, work or live outside of the continent are often taunted and laughed at because sometimes they don’t pronounce English words ‘properly’ - even though these words are ‘deviations’ (however far removed) from African-language words. The continent’s turbulent history of colonisation is the reason for the use of European languages in African schools, commerce and governments today. However, something that is overlooked is that most Africans are accustomed to speaking multiple languages, perhaps three or more, throughout the course of a single day. That’s one reason Africans pronounce certain words with an accent - they can speak other languages fluently enough for those languages to interfere with their English. In this clip, Anna Mwalagho (@mamaafricaanna) - an African storyteller living in the United States - gives a passionate defence of the uniqueness of African accents, arguing that this diversity is something to celebrate and be proud of. Hit like if you agree. Video Credit: @mamaafricaanna (IG)
