Sunsets:
Am drawn to tears whenever I see my people lost in mental, intellectual and cultural slavery. What you see those expression are direct translation of our local languages in English. That is how we greet as a people. We ask ourselves lots of interesting questions. In Igbo, we have 'itele?' - 'are you awake?' when loosely translated. You are no longer aware of your uniqueness because you have been extensively damaged. Our language is a bunch of figures of speech. Unfortunately, each line is usually literally translated by us into English - a result of our poor proficiency in English usage. On the bright side though, we have turned it into an invention called Nigerian English. It is staying; we are slaying it.

Intellectually, mentally & culturally enslaved ? Definitely not me.

I did already state this a few posts back that there is nothing wrong in Nigerian English amongst Nigerians. But when among the Brits who are custodians of the language you would need to switch up some words and phrases cos they would call you out for that. Deal with it

Who else is more of an authority on English than the English themselves?

Majority of you here are missing the point and are feeling attacked.

In less than 5yrs time when he's going through puberty he'll be strong enough to over power her.

Continue.

At only 24years old, you're acting like a wicked step mum when your relationship with him should be like a big sister

Mizwisdom:
No, your father came

Hope you gave him a nice time

gwarotango:
This is one question I hear everyday that pisses me off about Nigerians. What kind of stupid question is 'how was your night'? I'm sure it was bastardisation of the correct 'how was your day".

Tell me about it Or when they ask " have you eaten baby gurl"

Nigerians speak terrible English but get offended when ppl call it out

Mizwisdom:
How was your night?

How was YOUR night? Did Alhaji come?

Chukazu:
And who said we can't have a Nigerian English?

Must every thing be in tune with the British context?

We too be human being naa...haba!

Ofcourse you can have Nigerian English but when conversing with a brit you need to use different words and phrases. The English are the custodians of the language

You and most of the ppl here have missed the point.

"Or have you eaten" i find it so cringy

igwefivestar:
the one he is living in now.

Are you the gatekeeper? How do you know so much?

tyup:
goan watch the video on YouTube.....the journalist entered the road not knowing he was coming afar with a great speed.... he then tried balancing his bike cause he was actually racing with the back tyre, lost control and flew off the bike

so who's fault?

But it appears he hit the car and then flew off. Maybe he couldn't slow down in time

Hope22:

itsme01:

she duly took a no pay 90 days leave from met police, yet they want to decide when or how a 29 year old have sex,

a very foolish skynews presenter even rubished Nigeria as overpopulated and khafi shouldnt be having sex


...

Do you watch bbn? What is she like ?

salford1:
30k is not a lot of money, but she could have resigned honourably instead of being potentially sacked for violation of code of conduct.

Lool she wants to eat her cake and have it

Lool..let the girl have her moment

OP what's ur point? He was a huge motorcycle fan

YusufTheGreat:
mumu he was not the one that hit the journalist go And read it again the guilty journalist hit him with his car, stop misleading everyone

Ppl who ride motorbikes have a high risk of death.

Cars don't see them

Poor arafat Why him

akdjr:
May God never make me believe that scam that was brought from Israel and Saudi Arabia. quote author=1Sharon post=81190303]

Lool ok so what are you?

Proudlyngwa:
Can the kids keep quiet, let the parents talk.

I have told my son sorry on numerous occasions, because I want that to be part of him, I will also let him see sorry as a shameful thing, but a shameful thing which must be done, irrespective of who he is telling it to.


This is to condition his mind to avoid putting himself in a situation that will see

Since when is sorry a shameful thing?

JaceBlaze:
Some of them are pathological liars but they have the nerves to tell us to never call an old person a liar

Don't mind them. That is how they shield themselves from any criticism. A lie is a lie.

exco90:
was talking to a Christian friend sometimes ago.. he said he hates it when Muslim calls xtian a kafiri.. I told him that Muslims also hates it when they call them non believers ... kafiri is the Arabic word for non believers

so if a Christian sees muslim as people of hell

so Muslim also sees them as the people of the hell.

if she has said this on sallah day..
Muslim should wait till Christmas day.. then drop their own... the thing is they don't even need to drop theirs cos many xtian factions will condemn those celebrating it.

I pray you soon come to the conclusion that both religions are scams

akdjr:
How can Jesus who couldn't saved himself from being crucified be your saviour? My only saviour is God and not any prophet from Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Saudi Arabia and the rest.

But you believe an angel recited the Koran to Muhammad for 23years? Did he have a learning disability? And you all believed him?

MondayOsunbor:
It is her opinion what is wrong with these Muslims

Jesus is a dead white man

helixmanager:
Religious bigot....

No Allah means No God..... it’s language, some christain bible in Arabic uses Allah for God.

Who is Jesus? Is Jesus God? If yes, did he leave the management of heaven and earth to come and die for humans while all other creatures in space, land and water are on auto pilot?

Is he son of God? Is he the only one called son of God in the Bible?

These are questions I’ll be willing to discuss with intelligent folks here not a debate or argument. Just a friendly chat.

If you quote me senselessly with abuse or without intellectual contribution or out of unnecessary sentiments, please note that the ignore button is activated.

Did Mohammed ride a flying horse to heaven?

Christians are an obnoxious bunch

AngelicBeing:
Eats lots of fruits, vegetables, drinks lot of water, eat less of white bread, and carbohydrates generally

This is the only sensible advice here

Pistotita:
Most people with colon cancer always have this kind of constipation. And I am so scared since you said it started a long time ago. Not good at all. But I pray it is not yet that my brother. Run to a doctor who knows about cancer very well to tell you tests to confirm you are cancer free. Also, check cancer cells even after scan shows no sign.

In the main time, run to a very good medical diagnostic center and check for h.pylori. I think you are a carrier. Everything you described here is h.pylori. Never listen to any doctor who tells you that h.pylori is normal.

Don't engage in self prescription. Constipation is a sign of something really bad. Then, long term bloating is not good news. For sure, your stomach is not normal again, and you really need help. You will need to change your diet completely. Doctors don't know how to treat h.pylori very well. You will be placed on Triple Therapy if +. But there are other more effective methods for it. Anyway, go and check yourself first.

Go for serum and stool tests as fast as possible. Please, don't use any laxative for now cos they are not going to to solve it. Just run to do the two tests first. if h.pylori, get relieved fast. I will tell you what to do. And then, run to check your organs and every part of your digestive/exceetory systems for cancer.

I'm always constipated. Nothing to do with cancer. OP just has to take laxatives, so move to the side with this mess

eni4real:
If she talk unreasonably, she will get dragged for that..
Her beauty is only relevant for her love subjects!!

Beauty is not everything. Don't be superficial

Don't talk to me about superficialty, you men are superficial.

eni4real:
Her beauty is not relevant in my previous comment.. So, I was shocked how the beauty of another man's wife will influence response she gets on feminism topics??

If she was dark skinned, fat and ugly, you all won't stop using that against her just because she you don't like what she's saying.

Im glad she's beautiful, you all have nothing on her.

eni4real:
Beauty don't substitute for everything.. . Wawu

Did I say that?

Im starting to believe those conspiracies that say Serena is a man..

Bloody hell.. she doesn't look womanly at all !

Cousin9999:
No, it's just Italy. Spain has a lot of black women there as students doing a semester abroad, on school trips, or high school exchange students. There's also a lot of basketball players. There's also a fair amount of American black women with a fetish for Euro dudes with an accent that they can boss around. lol

But I've heard about black women being disrespected over there, cos they think they are prostitutes
