Television personality, Deloris Frimpong Manso has revealed that her outspoken Ghanaian language; Twi has taken her to many places.
Giving a motivational speech, Delay admitted that she will not carry English on her shoulders like a badge of honor as many people cherish.
According to her, she will continue to communicate with the local language which she is comfortable with because it has taken her to many places and will continue to send her to places.
Delay noted that where her Twi has taken her to, people with a Masters Degree in English cannot go and that she will continue to be proud of her mother tongue.
She quoted:
“Where I’ll Go To With My Twi, You Can’t Go There With Your Masters Degree English” Says Delay

According to Delay, English Language is not something she’ll carry on her shoulders like a badge of honour. The cocky Tv Presenter made the statement in a video she shared, in which she was addressing some audience.
She emphatically said that “where I’ll go to with my twi, you can’t go there with your Masters Degree English”. We don’t know which exact people Delay was talking to or referring to, so we are tempted to agree with her.
Other than that, we would have been worried if she’s talking to influential and accomplishing personalities like Lucy Quist and others who have equally been going places with their Masters Degree English, probably farther than her. Well, we don’t even know the places she means to be going or intending to go so let’s just chill.

Commonsense should tell you that there are many languages spoken in Ghana. Nobody is stopping you from speaking your twi language wherever you go likewise other people who speak other Ghanaian languages. Why won't you advocate that we should make Ga, Fante, Ewe, Dagbani etc official language of Ghana. You have no regard for those who speak other Ghanaian languages. People like you will be the reason we cannot make your twi language official language in Ghana. If you like you can declare Twi speaking areas in Ghana a country and make twi your official language because it will never happen in Ghana.
ALL THESE SENSELESS AGITATIONS AGAINST THOSE WHO WON'T SUCCUMB TO THE QUEENS ENGLISH ARE BEING SPEARHEADED BY THE "NYEBROS" AND THE INWARD-LOOKING AMONG US. THE INWARD LOOKING BUNCH AMONG US DETEST THE PREDOMINANT SPEAKERS OF THE TWI LANGUAGE AND ARE TRYING DESPERATELY BUT TO NO AVAIL. I PERSONALLY AND MAJORITY OF GHANAIANS STRONGLY BELIEVE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG IF WE MAKE THE TWI LANGUAGE THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF OUR DEAR COUNTRY! I DON'T CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THE SUBSTANCE OF THESE GOSSIP SHOWS DOMINATING THE MEDIA LANDSCAPE BUT KUDOS TO DELAY FOR CLEARLY ARTICULATING A BOLD DECLARATION THAT OTHER PROMINENT GHANAIANS ARE AFRAID TO TREAD. GOD BLESS THE UNITING TWI LANGUAGE AND GHANA.
I agree with Delay, Arabs go to the UN and speak Arabic. Ghanaians are too much and know it all in speaking English but those who speak English as their language like in England, U.S.A Australia and Canada see them as having accent in their so called best in speaking English. They understand those Ghanaians born in their countries more than the imitation ones from Ghana! Delay I agree with you speak your native language Twi because Ghanaians born abroad makes nons*ense of the English learnt in Ghana and spoken in Ghana. Book is not pronounced correctly in Ghana but we think our pronunciation is the best.Delay I give you thumbs up !
