Ebere Wabara Critiques Media Language Errors in Nigeria

Ebere Wabara, representing Cossel Construction Company Nigeria Limited, critiques several language errors found in various media publications. He points out mistakes in a congratulatory advertorial regarding the vice chairman of the Southern Nigeria Governors Forum, including the incorrect use of "with" and the phrase "shoot at sight order," which should be "shoot-on-sight order." Wabara also identifies grammatical errors in articles from Daily Independent, Vanguard, and THE GUARDIAN, such as "necessity breed invention" instead of "breeds," and the misuse of "ghastly" in describing fatal accidents.

He stresses the importance of correct language, noting that phrases like "creditably well" are redundant and should be simplified. Wabara's analysis serves as a reminder of the need for precision in media language to maintain clarity and professionalism.
