Some Ghanaian netizens have defended President Akufo-Addo after he was dragged by a Kenyan teacher who re-wrote the official announcement of Rawlings’s death.
The Kenyan teacher, known by the Twitter name, Mwalimu Joshua Njenga (@JKNjenga) revealed that he had marked the official communication of President Akufo-Addo and scored it 5 out of 10.
Mwalimu Joshua Njenga made a number of changes to the speech and argued that such national tragedies should not be announced anyhow.
After dissecting the announcement and tagging President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the teacher captioned it:
“Dear President Nana Akufo-Addo (@NAkufoAddo)
My students and I condole with Ghana. We have, therefore, used your statement, on the death of Jerry Rawlings, for today’s marking project.
Here is how it looks after surgery. Have a great day. Mwalimu Joshua Njenga”.
Some Ghanaians decided not to have any of what the Kenyan teacher was doing and t
ook on the foreigner.
One Ghanaian wrote: “No cap. Ano knows why people dey reply is. A passage can be written in so many ways.
I can also rewrite his correction and it will look better.
If he knows better why didn’t he become a lawyer or something and ended up a Teacher lmao”
Another Ghanaian stated: “Kenyans trying to correct Ghanaians …not surprised cos it’s 2020”
Yet another commenter said: “You just paraphrased, please. You didn’t do anything.
What you did was pulling down phrases and representing it with pronouns just to make it look short. If you want to teach us syntax then teach us well”
“Mr. English corrector, which has good English done for you. Borrowed language wey we are all enjoying Kenyans has taken it World Cup,” was another Ghanaians reply to the tweet.
