Post the front, the back and the engine. Why side view alone?

Flashh:
I know about it... Any problem?

Ok, do justice to that. I am equally waiting for an Economist to throw up a similar challenge to me. I think this is the best way to go.

Flashh:
I can see you couldn't vindicate yourself like a matured fellow without insulting your father.

Stupidity is not a crime... You're free to go.

Mature not matured.
Meanwhile, it is evident that anybody can claim the age of Methuselah in a faceless forum like this. That I told you I am a PhD candidate doesn't mean I am a toddler. My dear you goofed. Just deal with it.

Flashh:
I am medical doctor, so in any aspect of Medicine am there to go to any extent of it and let me brush up your ignorance.

Pained little boy.

Hahaha, herbal medicine or Native Doctor I guess. Idiot claiming a Medical Doctor. I can give you my personal details if you want to make a background search about me. I am a PhD candidate (Economics), University of Lagos. Come to Arestus Akingbola Hall Opposite UNILAG Car park (Art Bloc) this evening and give me a call. I am a voracious reader. I will painstakingly drill you in Medicine. Idiot!

Flashh:
I have told you I am better than your teacher, so adhere with it.

Please, can I engage you in any of the public fora in an open debate? Just choose your academic field or area of specialization (if you have any), let me drill you for some minutes. NONSENSE!

Flashh:
Only if you know I'm better than your teacher.

Hahaha, When I got my second degree, you were still in secondary school if at all you saw the four walls of a school.

Flashh:
Quote me with your brain and stop showcasing your stupidity here.

Go and read your books my friend

It may not be funny if you don't have enough capital to start your business. Don't listen to what business orators tell you in Business School. Most of what they say do not hold in practical terms. Anybody who has tasted the harsh business environment in Nigeria knows its not easy out there despite all these chants about "be your own boss". Your little capital may go into your running cost in the first 2 to 3 years They will ask you to start small but I can tell you categorically that it is only the grace of God that will see you through without adequate capital. Customers patronize big businesses even without price differential. However, the greatest threat to small businesses is unfaithful staff. Infact, if you have money don't employ Secondary school holders especially in Lagos. They are business killers. Look for graduates, maybe OND holders. 90% of these SSCE holders don't know you set up the business to make profit. All they do is to wait till the end of the month to collect salaries, no productivity, nothing.

Flashh:
It baffles me... They never help someone but they want something good in return... Seriously! Who does that?

Grow up and stop reasoning from your anus.

hoseamatoh:
Why are they even seeking for appointments from him? did they vote him?

This is nonsense. Did you go to school at all? So everybody has to vote for him- in a democratic setting? haba!. Corps Members that were killed by Northern youths in 2011 died because PMB did not win the election. Did that stop Jonathan from appointing northerners?

I still don't understand why a President will choose to favour a certain section of the country because others did not vote for him. Obasanjo was the President of Nigeria and many Northerners did not vote for him, yet nobody was marginalized neither did he complain that Hausas or Igbos did not vote for him. Jonathan ruled the same country even though he lost in most northern states coupled with post election violence, which claimed the lives of so many Corps members, yet no body complained neither did he deny any section any position. It therefore beats my imagination why Buhari would expect every Nigerian to vote for him in an indirect democracy. Is that possible? I just don't understand all these noise about some people not voting PMB. Why are we then practicing democracy? PMB is just setting bad precedence here and there. So bad!

All these "left over" positions have reserved for southerners. We are waiting

mistabiola:
Just like your bro passed away last week

I will place you on one meal per day. Stop waiting for Buhari's failed promises.

mistabiola:
And yours is a seasonal movie bah

keep suffering and smiling. You are dying of penury as a result of Buhari's clueless leadership, yet you are shouting Sai Baba. Keep it up

It can only happen in Satellite Town, Lagos. You can even sleep on top of the wire for days without being electrocuted. Buhari's CHANGE Project is yet to get there in terms of improved power supply.

MyX1:
YOU SEE YOUR LIFE?? THESE MINISTERS HAS BEEN AROUND FOR THE PAST 16yrs ie THE LIKES OF DEZIANI ALLISON MADUEKWE.

WHAT DID THEY ACCOMPLISH?

It is also advisable for you to cease living since your existence over the years has not ended the evils of this earth. Nonsense!

kenny1313:
10 likes for Baba!!!! truth is bitter, only the martured minds can eat bitter kola.

Your stupidity has no part two if you still support this pooo

I think somebody should be made to go to school before aspiring to become the President of this great nation called Nigeria. Recent events have proven that Buhari lacks what it takes to manage the most populous nation in Africa. I am highly disappointed in this man. No policy direction, our economy is dwindling by the day yet he blames Jonathan for his failure. However, it is even more worrisome that some Nigerians who out of ethnic/religious/political bigotry still support every blunder committed by this man. It is so unfortunate.

Truth234:
Why not get a job in the East to avoid those touts and their skirmishes ?

Leaving all the jobs in Lagos for you won't still make you employable. Those of you that migrated from Osun, Ijebu and other Yoruba villages keep shouting "leave Lagos for us" . When it is time to leave, no one will spare you.

coolitempa:
Our people need to make a few of those flat'heads into hoes for farming.......burn down alaba market and witness the end of stupid ibo belligerence....

Nonsense

300k serious buyer. where is your location?

If APC cannot manage common appointment of Ministers how will it manage the Nation's economy. APC was just desperate to hijack power from PDP without anything to offer. 2019 GO DO UNA LIKE FILM.

Is that her mother?

Nigerians should hold APC responsible should anything happen to this young man.

Let the man relocate his business to my areaa. We are still darkness here in Satellite/Festac Town, Lagos. Or are we not part of the country. I am yet to see the change.

Partner with popular book publishers and the top shots such as Longman, Oxford, etc

thanks. More suggestions needed please.

I just finished writing books in different academic subjects for sale. Presently, I have completed general subjects like Mathematics, English and Economics. They are being printed right now by a book publisher. However, the challenge I am having right now is how to market the books faster aside from the conventional way of going to Secondary Schools and Universities. Please, your suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

I am highly disappointed in this new government. It is obvious the government has no policy direction. I never expected the dwindling oil price to come as a shock to President Buhari since he knew it even before electioneering campaigns. One of the reasons people voted for Buhari was because they thought he would diversify the economy of this country and move away from our traditional oil-dominated economy. It is therefore shocking that President Buhari is still seeing the oil price volatility as a serious challenge to his government. I will always remember Obasanjo for one thing - Assembling great technocrats from all walks of life during his tenure to revamp the economy of this nation. people like Oby Ezekwesili, Prof. Charles Soludo, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Frank Nweke Jr, Shamsudeen Usman, Bright Okogwu, El Rufai and many more, formed the economic team and placed our economy on the path of growth. Buhari should hasten up and do something urgently and stop all these complaints about dwindling oil price. Oil is an exhaustible resource and the current Shale Oil development in the US coupled with low demand for oil in the international market is a threat to future oil prices. Let him get a good Energy/Petroleum Economist to tell him the future of the petroleum sector and its possible impacts on the world economy. Then, he will see the need for economic diversification. Anything contrary to this will spell doom on Nigeria's economic growth and development.

Op, you need a brain transplant. Is this the way you have decided to spend your little time on earth? Its unfortunate

Nigeria will have her REAL independence the day this criminal called Tinubu departs from this earth.

Karmanaut:
I think the implication in the expression "I'm home" is that you're home from somewhere. It ma be that you've just come/gone in, but it doesn't need to be — you can be home from the front or home from university and have been back for a week or so. But a homecoming in the not-too-distant past is certainly connoted.

The nature of the word home in "come/go home" is often argued over; noun and adverb are suggestions, but directional particle is what I'm voting for at the moment. Apparently, home in go home can be used without a preposition because it is the remnant of an earlier form that fused preposition (to) and noun, and when this type of inflection for case disappeared from English, this particular usage continued, with the to-home form standardising with the base noun. We don't have "I'm going school". Possibly, "He is home" has arrived via "He has/is come to-home". Home in "He is home" is locative rather than directional now.

It may be another legacy from the fused to-home that we never use the preposition to with home (except with an intervening determiner etc.), but this is true for other nouns also.

Certainly, other prepositions (at, from) can be used with the noun home in the expected way, and "I'm at home" is strictly locative. To express arrivals at other venues, we are forced to use a different expression — "I've just got to school / I've arrived at school"'m home" is what you say when you walk in through the door to tell people there that you've arrived.

"I'm at home" is what you say when someone asks you on your cell phone or IM where you are locate. "Where are you?" "I'm at home right now."

very insightful. Suddenly, people regard " I am at home” as an outright grammatical blunder and this has kept me thinking why a hitertho correct English suddenly turned to a grammatical blunder.
