But  some days ago this is what you stated:

A native of England with primary school education can write and speak better English than the best Nigerian Professor of English language because as native of England he/she is born with the language."


Do not allow naive and contradictory statements undermine your intellectual integrity.  

Show me exactly where I wrote that. If you can't, then admit to your dishonesty. That's not even my prose. I don't write like that. Plus, that's a crassly ignorant statement I would never make even in my sleep. "..a born English native of England." And you think I would write that? What the heck does that mean?

A little honesty won't hurt anybody. Attributing things to me that I never said just to "win" an argument is beneath contempt.
