Piers Morgan Claps Back At A Critic In Yoruba And It’s Just Too Funny!

|
January 20, 2016
Piers Morgan has been known to give epic clapbacks to those who come for him or have something negative to say about his opinion, in the past. So when he commented in a tweet about how Asia’s growth has been astronomical compared to the United States and a follower had choice words to say, trust Piers to not keep quiet about it. He tweeted:

And got this reply:

@piersmorgan America has stability. China sells cheap shit. People are realising this. Your not very good at economics are you?

— daz boot (@FacileTalk) January 19, 2016

Piers served him right back!

I’m better at economics than you are at grammar. It’s ‘you’re’. > RT @FacileTalk Your not very good at economics are you?

— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 19, 2016

That wasn’t all! Someone else – a Nigerian this time – decided to get involved.

@piersmorgan Hi, Piers, you have to accept the fact that English is not everyone’s first language. Thanks.

— Okehie Kelechi A. (@alkelly_a) January 19, 2016

His comment was reasonable enough. But Piers didn’t seem to think so. He replied in Yoruba!

In English, it means: “Don’t be annoyed. It’s not a difficult language”.

But Piers forgot something vital though. All Nigerians don’t speak Yoruba.

Dear @piersmorgan, not all Nigerians speak Yoruba.
