Abi? The story is too dramatic. And what I find most intriguing is the quality of English being used by this 13 year old, to express herself in the article (script) above.

Check these sentences out for example:

"Although we were blindfolded, yet, I was able to see a bit of what was going on. They decided Sunday would be my turn when they would conclude their rituals"

And this one...

"As a member of the drama group, we usually hold drama rehearsals every Tuesdays. So, it was co-incidental that the members of the group were there at that time".

There is something fishy here. How many graduates of today can express themselves with grammar of such quality? The flow, the punctuation, and vocabulary (e.g. "conclude their rituals"; "it was co-incidental"; etc) are not attributes you'd find in the written or spoken languages of typical 13 year olds.

We are here in Nairaland everyday and we see how both teenagers and even adults struggle to express themselves on common issues. Now, a 13 year old has used flawless grammar to narrate a story about kidnap and rituals. Hmmmm.....
.....
Anyhow, we thank God. The whole thing ended happily.

pendo89: so what we see on nollywood happens in real life.
Nobody is talking about arrests,prosecution, yet these are human being butchered daily?like it's a normal acceptable thing?
God rescues but where is the law of the land?
When people read such stuff about nigeria, the image that comes to mind is that one of a man eat man society, where you have to keep looking behind your back every second because a large % of pop is into these things.

I have been known to be wrong before anyway, but I am just saying. The story (and English) is too much like a script or what freecocoa termed as being "nollywoodish".

Orikinla: [size=28pt]These voodoo crimes can only happen in an uncivilized nation like Nigeria.
The simple solution to it is to comb all villages and forests in Nigeria and destroy all shrines and arrest all the native doctors and spiritualists in every village and town for interrogation and prosecution.

All the rituals these black savages do have not turned them into Bill Gates or Warren Buffet and even when you visit their villages, there is nothing spectacular about the architecture to show they have made money.

With all the bragging and noise about Nigerian billionaires, their villages are still looking like Europe in the Middle Ages and even in Lagos, there is no single spectacular feature of architecture to impress foreign tourists, except the bad roads, cheap call girls and second rate five star hotels with unhygienic kitchens and dirty poorly paid staff whose sight can make foreign tourists from the US and Europe sick.
Dirty and filthy Nigerians who as we all know are the beneficiaries and errand boys and girls of the cultists doing these evil rituals for political contractors and political godfathers in the corridors of power, including the cultists on the campuses who are the rookies of their bosses in government offices and private boardrooms. How many students who are cultists have been arrested and prosecuted?
How many of their girlfriends have reported them to the police?
Are their girlfriends not the same girls here who collect thousands of naira as cash gifts from them and also collect other expensive gifts from these cultists?
All the Blackberry girls and girls with their expensive Brazilian hair and other fake attachments are the beneficiaries of these cultists who have been kidnapping innocent people and using them for their bloody get-rich-quick rituals in different shrines in Nigeria and later come online pretending to be innocent.
And many of those here reading this gory report are among their beneficiaries, well wishers and employees who never bother to ask the sources of their ill gotten riches, and come here posing and posturing as good people in our midst, but are dogs and vipers on the prowl camouflaging as church going Christians and mosque going Muslims. But by their live styles and what they do indoors they have made Nigeria a bloody nation of bastards, idi-ots breading id-ots and crooks and rogues of all sorts. All those engaged in all forms of malpractices in all spheres of activities in the Nigerian society are as bad and evil as these same cultists. And if we don't expose them all, they will continue with their crimes and evils destroying innocent lives in Nigeria.[/size]

Sleek05: Rly funny how some nairalanders think. This exact thing happened to someone in Bowen uni so if u won't believe until it happens 2a loved one, dats ur biz. She was dropped in front of d schl gate after a couple of days and dats y d security men no longer turn students back @ night which was d norm and to those dat r complainin abt her grammar, lyk serzly? D marketwomen, passersby that are interviewed in newspapers, do they speak flawless English? Iznt dia grammar corrected and paraphrased b4 its published. Some1 was even talkin abt her punctuations, when did d grl become a journalist? When did she start workin wit vanguard? Abi she'l write her ordeal and twil be published immediately without proofreadin. Rly I thnk sm ppl shld think before postin.

Sleek05: @chreld, I really don't bother witb baseless arguments but I thought I'd help u.
1. I did not say her comments were paraphrased, I said 'isn't DIA grammar corrected n paraphrased'?? I was talking generally abt interviewees. Some comments r paraphrased, some r corrected, some r both paraphrased and corrected. It all depends so u should learn to read well.
2. Whether her comments were in quotation marks or not, journalists/proofreaders wil never write bad grammar in their newspapers, if they have to, then a (sic) is put in front of d blunder. That's why I buttressed my point wit interviews wit marketmen, mechanics and co. Do dey speak flawless english? NO. R dere 'sic's in front of their blunders? No, dats evn laughable cuz I can't imagine how many sics u'l see. So wats my point? Whether paraphrased or in quote, d grl's account was corrected by the journalist that got the story from her. So next tym dear, jus sit n learn!

Sleek05: A (sic) wudnt be added because d pidgin English was deliberately used, it is d commoners' way of communicating. It iznt bad grammar per say, @ least not in Nigeria. If d girl had said 'I gone 2 church' or 'she opening my eye', then u think they would have published it lyk dat? Her grammar would def have be refined in this article. Now do me one better, get a link 2 an article that left d marketwoman's or mechanic's grammar and I mean English, untouched and I'l rest my case!
