Shows that Nigeria is not a united Nation. A banana republic like some will say. Sooner or later, the division will be geographical.

@debosky Another weird fellow has joined the gang of ignoramus but in this case this fellow seems to be open to correctional instructions. One of the cardinal sins in grammar is to use a verb to qualify another verb in the same sentence. Another sin is the inability of certain individuals to understand that a sentence conveys a thought. Having written the above sentences, I would want these posters to understand that the flair of grammar is tailored to the author’s or individual’s style of writing. It is unfortunate that you got twisted out of human form because of the adverbial clause – insidiously. However, I am of the view that you have come across the use of phrase – “deadly appointed” and this construct does not actually meant dead as in dying but to convey the degree of the disappointment Again, baring any form of ulterior motive to JAMB results, I wrote that “south-east region has maintained an overwhelmingly lead in all areas of academic achievement according to the official statistic from JAMB office”. I stand by my statement within the context of our discourse as it relates to JAMB. It is very funny to read posts after posts how individual filled with ethnic bias and hatred had attempted to commit suicide because JAMB published her progressive report. I bet you that all these loudmouthed nincompoops did not know that few kids of their ethnic root sat the JAMB in the south-east centers as the kids of Igbo extraction sat the JAMB examination in the centers located in south-west. Please help me out with the below post that was manifested by the second class degree holder – oyb. The post’s grammar is a cesspit and devoid of any logic. Plagiarizers are good at other individual’s literary work /
by oyb
will the Christians in the house please come and tell this eejit to stop making a fool of herself ?
i have no particular beef with ibos - other than the ones who try to sell me crap , and those who feel that having money is an excuse to be a prick - you meet a lot of those in lagos; but i don't where someone gets off on coming to a multicultural forum to blather about ethnic superiority.
what nonsense
of course i'm using individual instances - our experiences are much better at shaping our perceptions, than someone blathering on the internet.
it would do you good to look at the numerous logs in our(yoruba) eyes rather than your incessant bitching on hausas - abeg go and marry wilywily
- tho the guy hates yorbas too
the nna boy dubbed a yoruba guy - named femi - what more can i say

Your pontification is not required here - a simple recognition of your omission/lack of clarity in your post would suffice. 'Flair of grammar' is pointless if the meaning is obscured - aim for clarity and not for flair. A 'learned academic' like yourself should be able to do that.  Now you say it is an expression of thought? Very well, that is acceptable. But please drop the verb collocation mumbo jumbo. No one ever questioned the validity of the verb usage in your post. You seem hell-bent on justifying something that wasn't even in debate - this once again points to your lack of comprehension of his post. It is obvious that in your haste to point out his apparent stupidity, you fail to grasp the import of his challenge. Is it too hard to admit that?  Again, baring any form of ulterior motive to JAMB results, I wrote that “south-east region has maintained an overwhelmingly lead in all areas of academic achievement according to the official statistic from JAMB office”. I stand by my statement within the context of our discourse as it relates to JAMB.
Erm. . . No you didn't! You said It is only an imbecilic sucker who could be in doubt that since the inception JAMB, south-east region has maintained an overwhelmingly lead in all areas of achievement according to the official statistic from JAMB office. Now only an imbecilic simpleton would think 'all areas of achievement' is equivalent to 'all areas of academic achievement'. Admit your error and receive redemption! Oh I won't even go into the 'since the inception JAMB' nonsense. Once again you go into 'adverbial clauses' to defend your illogical and completely WRONG usage of an 'adverbial clause'. 'Insidiously' does not convey a 'degree' of anything, it is a definitive 'adverbial clause' that lends a NEGATIVE/HARMFUL connotation to a word, as expressed in the dictionary definitions I quoted. In this case, the example of 'deadly' is completely irrelevant. It seems you have problems grasping principle of simile and logical comparison, in addition to the poor comprehension already displayed. To put it simply, it was wrong usage in an attempt to sound learned. In the words of my good friend Doyin13, this was an exercise in 'meaningless verbosity' I see nothing with oyb's post - he didn't punctuate religiously. But it doesn't remove from the clarity of meaning in his post, something you have serially failed to do. Bit of disclosure - I also scored 700 in the GRE Verbals in 2005, 90% percentile. PS - I have no issues with Igbos. I do have issues with self-important hobos who can't construct simple sentences but keep making egregious errors, while claiming to be 'learned'. I've dedicated my life to eliminating such charlatans.  |

hehehe osisi and ibo ego - so ibos are now handsome
i do not think i am ibo, people who meet think so if i do not correct them. a few months ago, an old woman in our street came by to chastise me for keeping to myself- she was shocked to find i am yoruba, i cannot count the no of times in school people said oh really yoruba- i thought you were nna
abokis? forget it - i came close to getting beat up in ota where i served. i was dragging with a passenger in a taxi, and then they started muttering darkly among themselves - if we had been in a secluded area. . .
heheheh from master tribe to fine boy tribe Look around na You are the only man that comes close same here people often tell me I look Edo or Yoruba because I'm darker than the average Igbo woman I've had several Igbos surprised to hear me speak Igbo because they say I look like someone from the Midwest or Western Nigeria. |

There are just as many dark skinned Igbos as there are light skinned ones. If not more. If people are telling you you dont look Igbo, then check your features.Genevieve Nnaji doesnt look Igbo either and its not because of her dark skin. And Edos arent known for being dark skinned. |

Notice that for almost all the years, four out of the five igbo states were in the top 10 states. Thats 80% of the igbo states showing academic dominance.
I am not putting this up for critics, but I am putting it up for the igbos in the house, that we may have a sense of achievement in the land wherein we are disliked and subdued.
Soon enough, we'll take our rightful place in this country and when that happens, our self actualization as near as it can be.
PS: Like i always say, you can't hold a Jew down for too long. They are naturally high-flyers. Its just in them.
Obrigado.

For the first section, its 2000 not 2001.
The first column is admission and the second column is application.

You look Yoruba indeed. Dont flatter yourself. You probably look Zulu or Masai.
you wish you looked Yoruba you mean.
Now what is wrong with the massai and Zulu? are you better than them? Don't you have family members that look exactly like them or worse (if they look ugly in your eyes) Ojuju Calabar! Rotten, fly infested, unrefrigerated tilapia For your information,telling an Igbo women she looks Yoruba is not particularly a compliment. It's neither good nor bad.
It only means she's darker skinned than the average Igbo girl. |

True. But when you meet a light skinned Nigerian woman,she's more likely to be Igbo. You need to see me in pictures with my close friends I'm usually the darkest and I don't even have the Osun darkness like hotfunmi I don't think it's an Igbo man disease only. It's most black men. Very annoying and very shallow |
