- Nigeria decides shares with you details about idris's speech transcript and the now-trending video on social-media.
The Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has been extremely featured on social-media jokes concerning the emergence of a video disclosing his speech reading insufficiencies which happened on Wednesday evening.
In the now-trending video, idris, speaking during an event, seamlessly strived with his speech, mussitating, “I mean, transmission, I mean effort, that the transmission cooperation to transmission, I mean transmission to have effect, ehm, apprehend, I mean, apprehensive towards the recommendation…” before finally apologizing to his audience.
“Sorry; I’m sorry, please,” soon after he apologized he slipped into another round of “transmission I mean, apprehensive at the transmission of…and transmission and transmission for the effective in the police command.”
Idris's weakness have been made prominent following the fastidious viewing of the video which shows that it was edited such that the IGP’s words were repeated. However, the edited video isn't considered the problem rather it's suspected that idris is suffering from a medical condition called Dyslexia.

Oxford Dictionary's description of Dyslexia: Dyslexia is “a general term for disorders that involve difficulty in learning to read or interpret words, letters, and other symbols, but that do not affect general intelligence”.
According to SaharaReporter, Akeem Olowofela, a medical doctor said that the IGP’s condition is closely related with others such as dysarthria, dyspraxia or apraxia.
Olowofela explained that “Some abilities — such as the ability to read, to articulate speeches and respond to sound (like dancing) — are controlled by the parietal lobe.”
“Now, the parietal lobe is not the seat of functions like memory and intelligence; that belongs to the frontal lobe. So, if nothing is wrong with the frontal lobe, then the IGP’s speech problem is of no concern. In fact, it doesn’t mean anything.”
He went further to say that tests have to be performed as it cannot be certainly known.
“Only IQ tests can show that the speech problem is part of a larger cerebral dysfunction, which can be multi-lobal; that is affecting both parietal and frontal lobes.
“But that somebody has dyslexia, dysarthria, dyspraxia or even apraxia itself does not mean the person is unintelligent. It is very possible to have these conditions and still be very intelligent.
“To be honest, it is not a medically solvable problem. It can only be managed. People suffering these conditions should visit speech therapists for management. However, let me reiterate that these conditions are compatible with life. They do not determine the extent to which anyone will go in life; they do not determine reasoning or intelligence at all.”
People writing off the IGP as an unintelligent fella perhaps are supposed to momentarily hold on untill he has undergone IQ tests. It may turn out that things aren't right but also could be true in the end.
