Just this afternoon, the Facebook handle of a popular television station wrote:
"We are still discussing about corruption in Nigeria".
CAUTION: Excuse me, please, do you "discuss about" or you simply "discuss"?
It is a grammatical blunder to say "discuss about". Isn't that not what we all say?
The expression should have been:
"We are still discussing corruption in Nigeria".
Let me cite another crucial example:
INCORRECT: Angela and her friends have been discussing about me since last week but I don't give a damn.
CORRECT: Angela and her friends have been discussing me since last week but I don't give a damn.
Could you digest this, please.
