Take this....
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN JESUS AND GOD AND THE HOLY SPIRIT...

Open your mind and learn without sentiment.....

1+1+1+1=1 crew. opening one's mind to learn without sentiment will only make one realise that what you said was a lie!

Leonbonapart:
of the whole world

How? Any evidence?

Douglaufuoma:
please lets talk. if u so much believe in one God which Christian also believe then explain this part of Koran to me ; “ Verily We created man from a product of wet earth; then placed him as a drop (of seed) in a safe lodging; then We fashioned the drop into a clot, then We fashioned the clot into a little lump, then We fashioned the little lump into bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators !” [23:12-14] why the plural noun WE not I. if husband, wife and children can b referred to as one family and not three families, why then do u think three persons cannot be in one God.

"We" as used in the verse you quoted is a plural of majesty.

Douglaufuoma:
is that what you think, then why did the Koran referred to him as the messiah; Isa, the Son of Mariam (Arabic: Isa ibn Maryam), is the Messiah and Prophet sent to the Children of Israel. [Quran 3:45 ]

Who sent him to the children of Israel?

Leonbonapart:
Jesus is Lord that's all

Allah ain't no God

whose Lord is Jesus? Yours?

kripen:
it is half plot, I am still experimenting. I have not started harvested from the main ones. This one I harvested from is just one which has produced 10 cucumber and I am still counting. from this first one it should be between 45days to 55days

Good job bro. Update us and include pictures pls. It's been 4 days since u last updated.

frankmoney:
with the current security situation no body should be allowed to cover their face from head to toe , simple

What have they done to worsen the Nigerian security situation?

diadem10:
What's this nonsense?
Do you even know the reason why institution make use of identity cards? How would the security men be able to match your face with your identity card when you have a full veil on?
Take Uniben for example, there are plenty of times when situation warrants the security officers at the main gate to ask for your identity card and check to see if you're the person in the said identity pics.

No reason for long story, fanatics as yourself should just stay at home. You can't drag us into your backward state.

I made my point clear without insulting you. You cannot force your opinion on me. I'm not a kid. As regards your comment, the identities of Muslim sisters on veil can be confirmed by female security officers, privately. Next time, learn to make people understand your statement without insulting them. I'm not a fanatic.

frankmoney:
its a higher institution not a religious ground , you can't be covering your face from head to ground

Does being in a higher institution forbids one from practicing his/her religion? Have you forgotten that slay queens who are also students expose their body almost from head to toe? Are they not in the higher institution too? Are they in a hotel? That Muslim sisters cover themselves does not mean that the higher institution has become a religious ground. Like I said earlier, Eating banana does not make one a monkey. Try to understand.

bumheit:
What is this 1 saying nw?

As simple and clear as my statement was, if you could not understand it then I need not talk further. Thanks.

frankmoney:
are you a masqurede ? Why are you wearing face veil in a school , it should be banned totally

Does eating banana makes one a monkey? Always think before you speak.

mostyg:
The VC has already tendered his unreserved apology to the MSSN and the bill board removed.

How the hell of earth would you equate face veil with nude dressed ladies?

That is why they say common sense is not common. Alhamdulillah for the development.

Amebo1:
good move, sometimes i wounder how those wearing veil cope with life.

Most times, they wonder how half-naked ladies cope with life. They're more concerned.

mansakhalifa:
If this is true then,it is a very good idea. Naturally,masquerades don't go to school. Only bona fide homo sapiens with faces do. Even face caps are no longer allowed by most campus securities. Talking from experience.

"Masquerades don't go to school". That shows they're not masquerades. why did you contradict yourself?

bumheit:
Some of them will spend thousands to make their hair but will end up covering it.

How could they have spent thousands in making their hairs when they don't attach anything to it. Say something else.

9japrof:
In a porous environment like Nigeria where security cannot be guaranteed, nicap should be banned Shekinah.

Buh the truth is that sentimentalism no go gree northern Muslims agree. The worse is that most of these ladies who cover faces are ugly as fork, so what are they hiding

If all you could say is based on ugliness then you don't have a point.

logadims:
1. Installmentally:

This “word” is a favourite of many Nigerians, but, sadly, it simply does not exist. You won’t find it any reputable dictionary. The correct thing to say when “installmentally” comes to your mind is in _"instalments"_ or _"by instalments"_.

2. Plumpy:

Nigerians use _“plumpy”_ when they want to say that someone is chubby or slightly fat. The correct expression is _plump_.

3. Disvirgin:

This particular “word” is used severally on a daily basis, especially by Nigerian men when they intend saying that a woman has lost her virginity to a guy. The correct word to use, however, is _"deflower"_, because “disvirgin” is not a word.

4. Crosscarpeting:

This is a favourite of Nigerian politicians and political analysts alike. They use it when they want to say that a politician has dumped his political party for another party, usually a rival party. The right terms to use when describing this scenario are _"party switching"_, _"defection"_ and _"crossing the floor"_ and not “cross-carpeting” or “crosscarpeting.”

5. Go-Slow :

The word go-slow exists, but not in the way Nigerians use it. A “go-slow,” in the peculiarly Nigerian context, is a situation in which road traffic is very sluggish due to vehicle queues. However, go-slow in the English language actually means _"an industrial tactic used by employees whereby they intentionally reduce activity, productivity and efficiency in order to press home some demands"_. When this happens, you say that work in the office, factory or organization is at a go-slow. The correct terms to use when road traffic is very sluggish due to vehicle queues are _"traffic jam"_, _"traffic congestion"_, _"gridlock"_, and (less technically) _"hold-up"_, not “go-slow.”

6. Cunny:

“Cunny” is not found in authoritative dictionaries, but it can be found in some slang dictionaries. Over there, it is a slang used to refer to a woman’s private part. The correct term to use is _"cunning"_ (which is used to describe someone that is being deceitful or crafty) and not “cunny.”

7. Opportuned:

There is nothing like “opportuned” anywhere in the English language, but that has not stopped its blatant use by all and sundry in Nigeria, including journalists and writers. The correct word is _"opportune"_. The word opportune is an adjective; therefore it has no past tense. An adjective has no past tense. However, some verbs can function as adjectives or adverbs in a sentence. These verbs are called participles and they do have past tenses. They are not pure adjectives. Examples of participles are fattened, amused, disgusted, mystified, overwhelmed, upset and bored. Be that as it may, opportune is a pure adjective and not a participle, therefore it has no past tense. Opportune means appropriate or well-timed.

8. Alright:

“Alright” is a misspelling of the term _"all right"_. All right is used when you want to say that something is adequate, acceptable, agreeable or suitable. To hardcore English language linguists, “alright” is not a word. However, its usage is gaining traction and it’s increasingly becoming acceptable. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary – which is considered the gold standard among American English speakers – has recently drawn a lot of criticisms for its permissiveness when it began indexing some otherwise colloquial and street language terms, including “alright.” Most linguists disagree with the gradual acceptance of “alright” as a word by the public and even the media, while those in the minority are “alright” with it. �

9. Wake-Keeping:

“Wake-keeping” exists only in the imagination of a few English speakers. As a matter of fact, there is no such thing as “wake-keeping.” The correct word is _"wake"_ and not even “wake-keep.” Both “wake-keeping” and “wake-keep” are ungrammatical.

10. Screentouch:

This bad grammatical expression gained currency in Nigeria and neighbouring West African countries with the influx of made-in-China stylus pen touchscreen not-so-smart phones in the mid 2000s. It was a novelty then; many in Nigeria had not seen it – or even thought such advanced technology was possible – before. So, they looked for a name to call it and “screentouch” came to mind, after all you just touch the screen and it starts working. In case you’ve still not figured it out yet, the correct thing to say is _"touchscreen"_ and not screentouch.

11. Trafficator

There is no word like this. Nigerians use it when driving and want to alert other road users that the driver wants to turn to either left or right. The correct term is _"indicator"_ as a sign to indicate that the driver is either turning right or left.


Do have a great week of less grammatical blunders.


Feel free to add your own let's educate ourselves.

very educative. You misused the word 'severally' when you were talking about 'disvirgin'. severally means separately; individually. 'several times' or 'repeatedly' is what you could have used.

Thanks for sharing this idea op. But I learnt that this method of curing pimples is not medically advised.

dakeskese:
...
Nice move...

We all know most terror attacks are perpetuated by Muslims but that does not mean the religion preaches that. They are only a 'few' minority from the Muslim populace.
Should we say all pastors perform miracles with 'fake' powers because majority of them use such?

We must avoid arriving at unnecessary conclusions.
Am a Christian and I say it boldly that Muslims are not terrorists.
May God help this world.

This is common sense.

9japrof:
All these are wash, the heat is too much on them, there is soo much negativity about the Muslim faith but I can bet my balls that among the thousands gathered there are tens or even hundreds of sleeper cells that are sympathetic to the ISIS cause that can be used at any time.

All terrorists are Muslims buh not all Muslims are terrorists, they are terrorists on hibernation mode, spite their faith and they spite your face and spill blood

You don't know Stephen Paddock!

Josh44s:
I know so many of them there are happy inside their heart whenever they hear a terrorist attack is carried out. Bunch of nitwits.

Beware of suspicion! Don't claim to know what someone has in his/her heart!

Promismike:
Potential terrorists. Provoke them and you will see the stuff they are made off. We know it's a camouflage.


Every Muslim is a potential terrorist. I'm yet to see a Muslim who is not violent and a bigot.

Then you've never seen a Muslim.

gr8minds:
then,who are the terrorists? I really need to figure this out

You're asking me?

WhiteSoup:
Jesus is the only way. Nothing else!

The only way? How? The way to where?

ottohan:
Muslims are crazy people...

Covering up a meotorite rock that crashlanded into the earth several years ago into a huge blsck box and stoning it.
Is'nt that madness

If only you'd seek for the truth but you wouldn't; How then would you understand Islam? It is stupid to condemn what you don't understand! Misspelling: Did you mean meteorite? Never come across the word 'meotorite'.

ActionsShure:
Islam is the devil.
They shud all go suicidal
Fuckin terrorists
Christ remains the only way
Muslims sef wan go heaven
Then who d fuc is allah
Confused terrorists.

Harsh comment; too terrorist. Are you embracing what you're condemning simultaneously? Note this: Muslims are not terrorists.

Yildiz:
Yes atrazine is not used in cowpea. I used butachlor instead

Thanks for the quick reply. pls how does butachlor work and what's its active ingredient? can it be used as a pre-emergence herbicide on a pepper farm too?

well done op. which pre-emergence herbicide did you use? I was thinking that atrazine would have affected your crops 'cos you planted cowpea which is a broadleaf plant.

Expecting someone to put me through...

Pls anyone who knows the herbicide that could be used to control weeds on a one month old cassava farm without harming the crops should kindly share its name. Thanks!

onyichick:
she forgot to wear hand gloves and socks to complete the look. that way no part of her body would hv bin exposed

Indeed, that would have been better for her.
