ADMISSION! ADMISSION!! ADMISSION!!! Cry no more,GAIN ADMISSION into 200 level through an IJMBE A'level program into any University of your choice without JAMB. Every year, hundreds of thousand candidates sit for JAMB (UTME), but at the end just a few percentages of all the students that go through the pain of writing the exam do make it and afterwards you still have to pass the post utme exam before you can secure an admission. DO YOU NOW HAVE TO TRY THIS EVERY YEAR WHEN THERE IS A SURE AND BETTER WAY OUT FOR YOU? YES YOU HEARD ME, A BETTER WAY OUT. The good news for admission seekers like you is that you don’t have to wait for another jamb before you gain your admission, not even to 100 level but 200 level of your university of choice. So stop wasting your time and resources in writing JAMB every year when there is a sure way of securing an admission and the sure way is IJMBE A' Level program.

This is, quite frankly, the best thread I've read on nairaland since Jesus wept, but you don't have to agree with me; I agree with myself enough. 1 Like |

LarrySun: Nice one Larry We can also add that the semicolon can be used like a counter in sentences much like comas are used. It is useful for 'counting' 'aspects' of the sentence that already have a coma. For example: The boy spent his time doing these: played, danced and sang 30%; ate, drank and slept 30% instead of writing this: The boy spent his time doing these: played, danced and sang 30%, ate, drank and slept 30% 1 Like |

Very educative, especially on the usage of comma. |

Well done! The proposed aim of this thread is to help budding writers who wish to hone their skills; but only very little can be done to those who shy away from sacrifice and knowledge. In the above example, I think the conjunction after the semi colon is not proper since you do not have commas separating clauses in the sentence. Kindly revert/educate. Cheers. |

I read everything not because I wanted to but just to punish myself for being lazy. Op, please clap for yourself. You ended up teaching me something today. |

It was a fine day, and the sun was hot. As I walked through the bush towards the river I heard the sounds of birds whose caws followed me wherever I walked but the appearance of the birds themselves seemed intent on eluding me. For an instant I spied a bird perched on the top of a mahogany, but when this bird discovered that it had been spotted it flew off again. I reached the river’s edge and took off my clothes. I'd write it this way: It was a fine day, and the sun was hot. As I walked through the bush towards the river I heard the sounds of birds whose caws followed me wherever I walked, but the appearance of the birds themselves seemed intent on eluding me. For an instant, I spied a bird perched on the top of a mahogany, but when this bird discovered that it had been spotted, it flew off again. I reached the river’s edge and took off my clothes. I honestly don't want to come off as pedantic, rather, I'm just thrilled at the rare privilege of sharing and 'stealing' from your wealth of knowledge. |
