Quality Education

Today in Intro to Poli Sci, as Jennifer made a list of ideas for her Xanga blog, the rest of the class learned about the political system in Nigeria, found in “Africker” (aff – ruh – ker).  I think the guy just can’t pronounce the “a” on the end of a word.

(This is the same professor who taught us about the “Magna Carter”.)

  2. heh, i love ya swirly
    actually, all of my friends from south afrika pronounce it afriker…it is the way of the afrikaans language i spose

  3. This “professor” post-graduated from State U., right?  You know, the one your real profs tell you NOT to go to for grad school???

  4. Actaully he got his doctorate at Florida State and is teaching now at UNCP.  I don’t get it.

  5. Yeh. I bet this guy pronounces Paprika – prapruhker too. He probably has trouble at McDonalds when asking for a mild powdered seasoning made from sweet red peppers for his cheese burgers.
