E mi ni yen.

No offence but if someone were to go by how you write they would have a hard time believing Covenant is a good school. You should be protraying your school in a good light instead of writing like you went to some bush polytechnic.
Re: Which Is Better? Covenant University Or Babcock University by Gamine(f): 7:22pm On Feb 11, 2007
Look, i never even failed English, lol
i dont even claim to 'know' English
because it isnt my MotherTongue
how can we 'know' it more than the English

Besides, Everyone knows that Net-Speak like SMS-Speak is allowed
Re: Which Is Better? Covenant University Or Babcock University by JosBoy4Lif(m): 7:28pm On Feb 11, 2007
Man, I know english more than my many white colleagues, who know no other language.
In fact when I went back home I found that my cousins in the city used more sophisticated lingua when they were not speaking pidgin english.
I find that even the British, the founders of english, cannot even speak the bloody lanuage properly, and us Urban Canadians can write and speak it the bes  grin
Re: Which Is Better? Covenant University Or Babcock University by ThiefOfHearts(f): 7:31pm On Feb 11, 2007
It's the lingua franca of Nigeria so the "well it's not my mother's tongue" is a terrible excuse. It's not MY native tongue either, doesnt mean you shouldnt know how to write in it correctly.

and SMS talk is for children, not soon to be graduates like yourself.

if that were true you wouldnt have said "know English", how do you "know English". Olodo tongue, besides most Canadians speak French

Dont be dissing the Brits, they know what they are saying, it's Americans and co that ruin everything angry
Re: Which Is Better? Covenant University Or Babcock University by JosBoy4Lif(m): 7:37pm On Feb 11, 2007
How can I not know english? As per Canadians speaking french that is only one province in Quebec. And if you go to Montreal it basically bilingual.
The British don't even pronouce certain letters like T for "insance".

I type it all out. you can ask anyone I send texts to cool besides what does that have to do with NL

I've noticed that those who are obsessed with abbrevations, slangs and SMS talk carry that juvenile crap to important things like school essays, job resumes, reports, etc. Kinda pitiful
Re: Which Is Better? Covenant University Or Babcock University by JosBoy4Lif(m): 7:51pm On Feb 11, 2007
I couldn't care less, means you don't care at all, while I could care less, means you have some degree of care  embarassed
Re: Which Is Better? Covenant University Or Babcock University by ThiefOfHearts(f): 7:53pm On Feb 11, 2007
yet MANY people use "I could care less". Anyway it's nice to see you can tell the differences now hush up and let me get back to my argument, abi she be your wife?
Re: Which Is Better? Covenant University Or Babcock University by JosBoy4Lif(m): 7:55pm On Feb 11, 2007

Re: Which Is Better? Covenant University Or Babcock University by ThiefOfHearts(f): 7:56pm On Feb 11, 2007
if you are willing to be on my ass over arguing with Gamine then I don't know what will happen if I did with Free. I'll be sure to avoid her.
Re: Which Is Better? Covenant University Or Babcock University by JosBoy4Lif(m): 7:58pm On Feb 11, 2007

'i couldnt care less' ;if u dont care, how can u care less!!!
u dont care=0

u couldnt care less=-1 to - infinity
which isnt possible
Re: Which Is Better? Covenant University Or Babcock University by ThiefOfHearts(f): 8:09pm On Feb 11, 2007
give Nigeria teachers garri and they will lie about anything.

Same way I get on your ass about your English, you do the same about my location. Feels good doesnt it? wink

Point is this was a discussion about school rules, just because we feel the need to voice our opinions about them doesnt mean you have to be obnoxious. Calling us "odes" and co isnt gonna change our opinions. Im sure those schools are good as I have friends who attend them, I just personally find the rules to be retarded and having no bearing on academic knowledge. smiley

lol

u only have to look through the thread to know who was heavy on the insults
who actually got there first,

i didnt set out to change ur opinion, its urs
we dont like all the rules, its a 'Christian School' not like Igbinedion,
we must follow what they ask

we arent staying there for ever, next year i'll be out
there are lotsa good things about the school
but we tend to be heavy on the few negative ones

Besides, last tym i checked, the topic was;Which Is Better? Convenant University Or Babcock University
and as i know it, CU is
*i have friends who went to BU, so i know about BU*
Re: Which Is Better? Covenant University Or Babcock University by JosBoy4Lif(m): 8:22pm On Feb 11, 2007
Private Universities are mainly for rich men's children who could not get admitted into the public universities undecided
Re: Which Is Better? Covenant University Or Babcock University by ThiefOfHearts(f): 8:24pm On Feb 11, 2007
you started it by questioning Mystique's remark like she didnt have a right to her opinion.

anyway of course you're gonna say CU is better since you go there. BU still gets alot of praises from people, it did when I was in Nigeria last which was summer 2005, anyway.

Re: Which Is Better? Covenant University Or Babcock University by ThiefOfHearts(f): 8:30pm On Feb 11, 2007
OAU and OSU are notorious for that.

I have people who were my seniors in secondary school who are still in OAU.
Re: Which Is Better? Covenant University Or Babcock University by Gamine(f): 8:30pm On Feb 11, 2007
