Is that your picture Ileke?

Headward

Yes, we're definitely letting it affect the written aspect of the language. I once had the opportunity to review some applicants cover letters during a job application process and it's pathetic that simple errors such as replacing '4' with 'for' were common.

A lot of people on Nairaland would rather write in 'text' language than the actual language thereby making it difficult to read/understand. Once you start writing that way consistently, you get used to it and it becomes the norm for you.

I can understand the need for 'text' words based on the number of characters you're restricted to in SMS

I'd rather read a sentence constructed in broken/pidgin English than in 'text' language outside of actual mobile texting, it does my head in

My coworker has 18 cats and he said him and his wife don't want no kids, the cats are all they care for like their babies

You gotta love Cap!

Never met anyone who can take a topic, turn it upside its head and kinda, sorta make small sense while doing it too. [/quote]Lol you're so right but i don't even see a small sense in it other than the same lazy argument of 'lets blame it on them' so we can make ourselves feel good about our shortcomings

cap28: what happened over 200 years ago? i had no idea the IMF was in existence 200 years ago, i also had no idea that nigeria paid over $18 billion of a non existent debt to the paris club 200 years ago - last time i checked that happened in 2005.

also did all the military coups in nigeria and elsewhere in post colonial africa happen 200 years ago?

I would strongly advise you to go back and read your history as you sound very confused and ignorant, africans did not instigate the enslavement of their own people, the europeans had a motive for enslaving africans - to build and develop their own nations so that they could become the economic giants that they are today.

were afrcians also responsible for the partition of the african continent in 1885 by europe?

how about the apartheid regime in south africa - was that aided and abetted by africans?

funnily enough africa is about to be recolonised in the year 2013 by the united states of america or did you miss that too?

Is that what's responsible for all that was listed by the op? Is slavery and the west why you jump the line? Is that why you pay your way to have that document signed instead of doing it the right way by waiting two weeks? Is that why you drive against traffic? You just demonstrated the mentality of what's driving Nigeria to where it is now. It's sad knowing that you're so clouded in your daft reasoning that you are more than convinced it's the cause of all these. You're delusional just like the ones who think it's right to scam because their parents were 'once scammed'.

cap28: instead of getting excited, why not rebutt what i posted - or are you incapable of doing that?

you have been trained and conditioned to jump to the defence of your white masters - if i go into a continent steal its manpower and resources, kill anyone who tries to oppose me, fund train and orchestrate military coups, use my powerful corporations and banking cartels to keep you indebt and submerged in poverty causing you to be in a state of corruption and chaos who is to blame, me the perpetrator or you the victim?

Are you kidding me? This happened over 200+ years ago and in 2012, you're still here lamenting over the situation that has since changed or is slavery still going on in Nigeria that I'm unaware of? I'm not talking about the slavery we started by ourselves, the one carried out by our own kind/skin/color enslaving us? Interestingly, neither one of us including several generations before us experienced the acts that's being blamed here. Sir, this is old and it's time we start doing the right thing and stop whining and blaming the westerners

cap28: these are merely symptoms of a corrupt system and do not address the CAUSE of the corruption which was created by the western imperialist system of capitalism which still dicatates your economic and political system, you need to do more research and look at where the problem originated from as opposed to the end result of that problem which you have listed up there.

until nigeria gets out from under the western hegemony of the UNITED STATES AND THE EU there is no hope for nigeria or any other african nation.

the european nations dictate your economic policies via their international financial institutions ie IMF, world bank and the Paris club

they own and control your media- everything your domestic media reports must be authorised by them first, their own media operates freely and without any restrictions in your countries and their news takes precedence over your own news

your educational system is tailored in accordance with their own educational system

you replace your own religious systems with their own - christianity and islam

IN OTHER WORDS YOU ARE A ROBOT OF WESTERN HEGEMONY - YOU HAVE NO MIND OF YOUR OWN AND YOU DO NOT OWN OR CONTROL YOUR OWN NATURAL RESOURCES HOW THEN CAN YOU BE BLAMED FOR THE COLLAPSE OF YOUR OWN SOCIEITIES?

Bullsh1t!! straight up bullsh1t. I didn't wanna make a comment but this argument drives me nuts. I think the op should include the attitude of blaming others instead of taking responsibilities for our actions. We always wanna take the easy way out which is to blame others for our failures. I have heard this all my life, it's so damn irritating to my ears now.

jidegirl12: Don't agree with you!

So if I'm working my a ss off and my man goes to cheat and gives me a sh itty excuse that I made him do it cos I work too much..... Isn't that what marriage is all about ? Passive communication and working together for a goal ?

So when I bring home the dough ... do I spend it alone? spare me those excuses will ya, I'm not taking that one bit and I ain't gonna take no blame for a grown A$$ six packed thirty something man!

I agree, you cheat, you take the sole responsibility for it. If you can't fix the problem or withstand it, how about backing out? Only low-lives cheat

Is there like a standard formula being used to decide who should take the blame? shouldn't it be based on individual stories? This is a subjective question, tell us your story and it'll make more sense as to who should be blamed.
This don't make no damn sense at all.

Oh my this is so funny

I just realized I have 15 unread messages in my "other" inbox, I hope those people haven't concluded already that I've been ignoring them since 2011
@Op thanks for letting me about this "other" inbox Facebook route messages to, nonetheless I'm not paying a $ for sh1t.

Yeah Seun is a woman lol
Look who's talking about someone being highly se.xual, talking about dikology and sh1t
Have you seen that video of Alicia keys lighting up the empire State buulding? Cool video

Lol I was expecting it to come out as something else,Seun is a typical Nigerian woman, act like anything se.xual is a taboo but in private will almost chew your dik

The only good thing about then is that the visuals were more alluring, you wouldn't need to worry about your bra size

Oh my.. you're so 20th century

trolling: its gonna be very easy to deceive the whole world through project bluebeam....welcome to the mark of the beast

You're indeed "trolling"

That's so messed up, had everyone thinking it was real It' so hard to believe a lot of things these days.

Impressive work though.

POLICE CAP: There are so many kids and myopic adults on nairaland who lack simple comprehension.

The poster was only trying to mock the bunch of confusionist that celebrated 12-12-12 for the mere reason dat its a pattern neva to occur again.

I was not supposed to comment but my pple lack simple understanding.

OP I'M WITH U ON THIS ONE. +1000likes. Thumbs UP

You're a genius! Lol

Ipso Loquita: tsk Mr! You are obviously a moronic bullock that is blind to where everyone sees patterns!
this is nairaland is mostly used by Nigerians... in case u don't know, Nigeria was a British colony n we are supposed to speak and write like them.
My point... 20/12/2012 (20th December, 2012) is d right date style for any Nigerian and other countries colonized by Britain. American style is 12/20/2012 (december 20, 2012)...
get brilliant Mr man!

It doesn't matter, if it's so 'special' as the op is saying, then it should be special wherever you are except if it's subject which, in this case, is a subjective opinion. Every day is a special day

I think it'll depend on the type of job. Since your bp is being tested and all that, i'd think it's probably a high stress level job.
Personally, i'll be more concerned with why I have a HBP than actually securing that job, this is a serious condition that can lead to complications and don't assume it's normal.

Good luck and work on getting the HBP taken care of.
