Her father pointed out the fact that most of the people in the WhatsApp group are graduate, yet, they prefer to speak slang.

His words:

"There is one negative thing I have observed in the language style on this platform. The language style is usually that of street uneducated elements. Yet I know that most, if not all in the house, are graduates. Unfortunately, the language style herein does not reflect this truism. The need for a change have become imperative, a desideratum. Let coherent grammatical language style prevail to reflect maturity and status of members of the house. I come in peace."
