    Trading non existent words like "ukward" for awkward are some of the reasons why we should concentrate more on our own languages. A Nigerian taught me a very good lesson in Lagos some years ago. He spoke some English wrongly. ...

    what do u expect from actors who lack education? People used to watching Nollywood stuff can't bear to watch Agya Koo whose fans enjoy watching Nollywood.

  • Biko 12 years ago

    Agya Koo deserves a doctorate degree from the Ghanaian universities. He is fluent and smooth when acting. He has been adding new words to our vocabulary. The English language grows everyday. Why can't we do the same to our la ...
