Best English-speaking African Countries Revealed-Find out Cameroon's Place

-
The World Linguistic Agency ranks Uganda as the best English-speaking country in Africa. Pointless to add that some Ugandans were sceptical about this news as they left FB comments doubting the validity of the research. The question I always pose is whose interest is served. South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and Namibia followed in that order. Nigerians were particularly applauded for making great attempts to express themselves in English with little grammatical errors. Could this be as a result of the new wave of potent writers from Nigeria?

Unfortunately/fortunately, Cameroon was not among the listed countries. Does this mean Cameroonians do not know how to express themselves in accurate English? Well, given the socio-cultural environment in which Cameroonians are immersed, the aftermath of colonialism and the constant importation of popular culture into local spaces, it becomes complicated to tackle speaking English as it should.

However, Cameroonians have made attempts particularly among youths to generate a new language called "Camfranglais" unique to Cameroonians. It is possible that this language borne of the masses is a symbolic resolution to the dilemma of contemporary debates on what local language should be adopted as national.

Other countries among the best English-speaking include Zambia, Botswana, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Rwanda, Sudan. I wonder what implications this revelation has in countries which do not feature on the list. Be prepared to take Toefl, IELTS and more.

Please don’t dirten my shirt with your muddy hands.
Stop cowardising and go and see that girl. Don’t just beep her again, bench her.
