    1. Oh boy! You need like 50 copies. Don't go into isolation without them. Also, ensure you expose yourself to the sun while reading it just so the rays of the sun can also assist to brighten your grammar.

  9. May her soul Rest In Peace even as her legacy lives on. She contributed to Nigerians speaking good English, until you hear other Africans English you will not value Nigerians English language. Nigerian English is clearer to Londoner’s and Americans 😀
