omale88: The babysitter is definitely culpable one way or another. What exactly will she say she was doing when kids she was supposed to be watching wandered off? Such a sad story. 1 Like |
Celebrities / Re: Mercy Eke Fires Back At Those Mocking Her Accent, I Lived & Schooled In Owerri by dabossman(m): 7:16pm On Jun 04, 2022 |
Foreigna2: Yes, and that is grammar which is a totally different issue from speaking with an accent, which is the topic of the thread. I actually know someone who speaks very well in English but is awful at writing in the same language. Errors everywhere. Many people have that problem, including some of those mocking her accent. |

Foreigna2: While you do have a point, English language is not the first language learnt by many Nigerians. Their local language is often the first. The accent therefore comes from trying to speak the English language with the rules and intonation of their local language. Also, even many o the so called native English speakers in the United Kingdom have an accent depending on their location. Don't even get started with the Scottish or Welsh accent. Ultimately, an accent is not a measure of intelligence or exposure. People should not be shamed for it. |

Tannhauser: Not just mental problems. Many actually don't know how to drive and are not even aware of their ignorance. And when you challenge them they think you are the odd one. Imagine someone overtaking you at a speed bump close to a primary school and glaring at you for slowing down. 4 Likes |

VEHINTOLAR: Herve Renard too did not have an impressive profile before coaching Zambia. And he won the AFCON with them on his second attempt. Most people don't know that. Even same with Westerhof. What was his profile before 1990? Let's just hope this new guy does well. At least he has coached known teams in Europe including in the UEFA Champions League and Uefa cup. In the end, results and style of play will determine his success or otherwise. |

WesternOligarch: If that was her message then she wouldn't make it all about money to the point that it's okay to be connected to the 15th wife of a rich man. Greatness is not all about money. |

Glitcher: Flair without end-product is useless. That's why we always fumble when we meet a more tactical and technical team. We celebrate flair as talent, but there is more to modern football than that. 23 Likes 1 Share |

Joysticks: What do you consider to be wealthy? How much do you think you need to have to consider yourself wealthy? This is probably the first place to start. It can be a very subjective topic. |
Nairaland / General / Re: What Advise Do You Have For Those That Just Clocked 20 by dabossman(m): 5:06pm On May 04, 2021 |
familier: Enjoy your life. Learn useful skills, don't depend on just your book knowledge. Travel if you can afford it. Even if it is to African countries. Network and build relationships as you go along. Gain useful work experience even if the pay is not the best. Be ambitious but don't heap unnecessary pressure on yourself. You are not in competition with anyone. You are only young once. Enjoy it. |

EmekaBlue: The link below might help bro. Besides, using your influence to raise funds to help others in a tangible way is commendable. At least it is better than doing giveaways just to gain more followers as some people do online. The motive is what is most important. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/8137565/ighalo-orphanage-man-utd-nigeria/ |

Education / Re: Private Universities Produce Students With Empty Brains - Plateau ASUU Chairman by dabossman(m): 10:13pm On Feb 05, 2021 |
Vick4rill: That's because the private university lecturers will not frustrate you unnecessarily just to prove a moot point. it's the same reason many of our graduates who go abroad tend to do well. Education shouldn't be unnecessarily stressful, but lecturers in public universities prefer to take pride in the fact that you can't pass their course. Not to add that some of them don't even bother to do their jobs. |

NYSC / Re: Please Advice Me On Good PPA For Medical Corps Members In Makurdi by dabossman(m): 3:57pm On Nov 11, 2020 |
RealMillennial: Served in Makurdi in 2003. I would say the Federal Medical Centre or NAF Base hospital if you are looking at government hospitals. Don't know much about their laboratory systems though. And then, you could get posted out of Makurdi, so maybe wait till you are posted and hope for the best. Goodluck. |

This is why online news outlets should not engage in copy and paste journalism. Carry out your own independent investigation before publishing unsubstantiated stories. Everything is not all about clicks. |

TV/Movies / Re: Stop Selling Foreign Films - NFVCB - National Film & Videos Censors Board by dabossman(m): 10:23pm On Jan 27, 2020 |
After reading most comments here, it is obvious that most people don't read or they don't read with understanding. But I blame the writer of this article because he obviously set out to sensationalize this write up. It is obvious the man is referring to the pirated foreign movies that are sold in Nigeria. He even mentioned intellectual property rights and said foreign films shown in cinemas were acceptable having been properly rated. If you want to download online, that's up to you and your ISP, if your VPN is not top-notch. If he goofed at all, it may be with the DSTV bit. |

Politics / Re: Anthony Okolie Sues Hanan Buhari, DSS, Over SIM Card, Demands N500 Million by dabossman(m): 10:51am On Jan 14, 2020 |
new2012: Okay, fair enough. However, a lot of mass enlightenment needs to be done in this regard; even for the security personnel. Period of dormancy before a number can be issued to a new user and what happens to the data of the previous user. Otherwise, someday, someone somewhere will commit a crime with a certain number, disposes it and several months later someone else gets arrested once the number becomes active again after being reissued to a new user. I doubt if our policemen will bother to cross-check the history of the said number before picking up an innocent person and asking him to produce the owner of the number. It's a jungle out here. Which is why this case is a good precedent, though Mr. Okolie had to suffer unnecessarily. |
Politics / Re: Anthony Okolie Sues Hanan Buhari, DSS, Over SIM Card, Demands N500 Million by dabossman(m): 9:58am On Jan 14, 2020 |
new2012: You do know that you can make your point without being cocky. Nobody is a reservoir of all knowledge. If someone buys a sim and registers it before selling to me, whose biometric data is then stored against the number with the telco? I'm not interested in the politics of this matter, but as an individual who has been using the same number since 2001, yet had to register it 3 different times, I'm worried about how well telcos manage my biometric data. Considering the fact that most people receive bank alerts on their registered numbers, would the new user start receiving these alerts too. Maybe even receive OTP's too? Obviously this information is not as clear cut as you make it sound. 1 Like |
