You guys, please read my comment properly... comment tu appelles mean "how are you called" or "what are you called" when you directly translate it into English. While c'est quoi ton nom actually translates more directly to "what is your name".... or "What is this name of yours" w/e maybe you guys misunderstood me, but appelé does not mean name, while nom does. |

Re: Francophones Speak Good French But Nigerians Barely Speak English by Nobody: 5:35am On Mar 24, 2013 |
But you are right about European societies being more liberal, most of them are secular . In the UK they are already doing bad stuffs but they still like to hide their faces in pseudo moral values etc |

BlackLibya: Whether or not they speak french perfectly is beyond the point. The point is they all speak French, and use it as a source of pride amongst each other. Whereas British colonies like Nigeria, Uganda, and Kenya use the local languages to a large extent, and most from these countries do not even speak english beyond what anyone else in the world would speak. I have heard this and believe this to be true because I have heard this from black africans from francophone countries admit this to. That's why you see a big difference between black africans that are from anglophone countries vs. one from Francophone countries |

it goes both ways to me when it comes to anglophone and francophone |

The fact remains that majority of the Francophone African countries do not speak Standard French. |
