What app did you use to draw the red lines?
Need to proof read a document and send it back highlighting the errors like you did.

Thank you sir.

I used the snipping tool on Windows 10 for that. MS Word (2013) has even more features for reviewing documents and I think it is well suited for what you want to do. You can insert comments, compare and combine documents and do many other things by using the features built in the Review tab.

the reason why we are unemployed is because we value grammar morethan creativity.... good spoken english but empty creative head/brain.

You value grammar more than creativity yet you can't construct a simple sentence correctly.



Not sure if you are trolling or just being thick.

abujasingles:
English no be our papa language. Free dem o jare.

Lame excuse.

It is for this particular reason that many so-called graduates will have difficulty securing a decent job.

Expensive university yet they can't put together an error-free document. How hard can it be to proof read or use F7 in MS Word?

Good ideas and good programmes . Lets see if Nigerian politicians will allow them to work out

This plan is anything but good. What we have here is the beginning of a welfare state, a system that ultimately does more harm than good in the long run. The result of this kind of plan is a class of people who will be forever dependent on govt stipends and who will form a large voting block that will be susceptible to the wiles of any crafty politician or party. What is even worse is that the govt will have to borrow funds to implement all of this. This plan should be resisted.

dainformant:
Troops of 14 Brigade Garrison based in Ohafia, on Sunday 10th March 2016 conducted operation aimed and bursting a notorious kidnapping syndicate based in Nkporo community of Ohafia Local Government Area of Abia State. During the operation, the troops were able to rescued a kidnap victim who was earlier shot and kidnapped by his abductors at Aba on 6th April 2016.

Grammatical errors aside how is it possible for soldiers to go on an operation on the 10th of March 2016 and rescue someone who was kidnapped on the 6th of April 2016, a month before the operation was carried out?

The dates in the story don't add up. Nobody pays attention to detail anymore on this forum.

Lyoncrescent:
Only In Nigeria will this nonsense happen. And to even think almighty UNILAG students pay 17500 Naira for school fees. Thats less than 100 dollars at CBN rate o.

And yet its the same Schools that will say they want world class facilities. Every Public University should be autonomous and run themselves and should only receive research grants and endowments based on quality of research from government.

If You attended a public univeristy in Nigeria, Congrats to you. You were on scholarship. Theres no way the school fees you paid could have funded your uni. The repercussion of this is that the Nigerian Government is spending heavily to subsidize the school fees uni students pay thus resulting in a neglect of public primary and secondary schools. Goodluck opened 7 new universities. WHen last did any Nigerian government open a new Federal Government college in any state ? When last did any state governor open a new public primary school ? The end result is that most of us reading this will never send our children to public primary schools which we should if it was up to standard. A cheap quality private primary school in Lagos costs 30-50 thousand naira per term and from 100k per year.

On the Average, you will discover that in Nigeria it is more expensive to get quality primary education than University Education. Ask around and you will see quality primary school education is much more expensive than what these students are protesting for.

This is wierd because primary school is for everyone while university is not. But what can we do when government continues to heavily subsidize Higher education while neglecting the foundation ?

Well said.

People keep repeating that trope that university education is a basic right. It is not. What is a right is basic education

babym7681:
Even if you're not in support of this government,atleast you're still a Nigerian. The fact is that,we all have to make certain sacrifice,in order to achieve a better Nigeria. Local production should be encouraged,while import should be technically discouraged.
And to your question,luxury expenditure includes; vacations,medical tourism,patronage on luxury goods around the world, and the list goes on.

You are in a hole. Stop digging please. Its painful to watch.

This report is just another case of sensationalist reporting by Punch newspapers.

What has increased in airline tickets is the naira equivalent of the dollar amount. The price of tickets in the international market has not witnessed any unusual or notable hike.

One has to question the competence of the editors in Punch for allowing this kind of story to fly.

^^

@RR. That's basically my position. Parents have the ultimate responsibility in how children are raised and that's something that cannot be outsourced or delegated to any society, Nigerian or foreign, without consequences.

londoner:


Sorry, but I think you're wrong. What unfair and unearned rights? The issue especially in places like Nigeria is that lack of equality between the sexes is to the detriment of the home and larger society. The mindset still prevails in some parts that the girl child is not educated, where the girl child is FORCED to marry so young. Where the girl child undergoes FGM. Where domestic violence is accepted, where a woman can not inherit from her father even if her hard earned money has helped build it. So many more example for which the boy child simply has NO EQUIVALENT.

There was a time in the West when women could not vote. When my mum first came to the UK and met and married my dad she was not allowed to purchase a house with her own money and have it in her name. They still have inequalities in pay in the West. Now you tell me how it is fair that two people do the exact same job but one is paid less because she is a woman. It is the man being paid more even though he does not do more that is an unearned and unfair right. In Nigeria and Africa men are automatically afforded unearned and unfair privileges and the discriminatory attitude towards women abounds even in 2016.

The need for gender equality for women is as a result of the rights that men ALREADY enjoy. That's kind of the point.

Like I said earlier whatever concerns or issues that you seek to address with the woman’s equality bill can be adequately dealt with using legislation that is gender neutral or agnostic. If the provisions from the state like the right of ALL citizens to healthcare, education, property rights etc are properly enforced there will be no need to go down the path, which is fraught with many dangers, of structuring legislation for any one gender.

Its not like the girl child is the only one with problems. Do you know that boys are four times more likely than girls to be diagnosed as emotionally disturbed, five more times likely to kill themselves, 3 more times to be diagnosed with ADD or 15 times more likely to be the victims of a violent crime.

Answers to your question about unfair rights and privileges for women are easy to find in the West:
Women (in the US) have the right to vote but are not obligated to sign up for the draft. Men have no such exemption or privilege; in exercising his right to vote the man is bound by the selective service act to be compulsorily drafted into the army during a period of war.
Women have the right to choose parenthood but men don’t. A woman can choose to give up a child for adoption, surrender the child to be a ward of the state or even abort the child - without notifying the father! A man on the other hand cannot renounce any of his responsibility as a father without drawing the ire of the law and facing jail time. In many instances through the coercion of the state and the woman he is made to be financially responsible for children he did not biologically father. One is not even going to mention the bias against men, but which women enjoy, that exists in child custody and alimony cases.

The wage gap between the sexes is a tired old myth that has been repeatedly disproved by economists. It is anything but discrimination as there are a number of factors like child birth, negotiating skills and life goals that perfectly account for the gap. The claim that (African) men by default are oppressive to women is one that has been done to death on this forum and till date only shows that people behind it have a blinkered view of the whole matter.

We don tire to dey talk this matter sef.

Timbuktou:


It's a crazy thing what leftists are up to? Multiculturalism is a problem, one only needs to look at Nigeria and Africa to notice that. However, as with all other leftist pursuits; feminism, gay rights, gay marriage, et al, it's poorly thought out. There's been no consideration of its long term effects and costs. Liberalism and leftist politics is majorly sentimental and feelings based nonsense with no regard for fact which is a dangerous proposition. However, i think they are beginning to receive sense as these clowns repeatedly show what stuff they're made of. One just hopes it wont be too late.

Meanwhile, checkout more leftist ridiculosity:

Our educational system is in serious trouble, they mould kids minds and feed them lies

I completely agree with that comment in the article. The product of these touchy-feely ideologies that have no grounding in reality is a generation of wussies and weaklings as exemplified by those Emory students. After a while one can no longer feel sorry for them especially when reality in all its gritty glory comes calling.

@Bellong
For now the majority of European leaders are liberal-socialist leaning politically correct automatons so expectations that they will deal decisively with this problem are low.

The best of Easter to you all!

The push for "women's equality" has proven time and again to be the official endorsement of a system that accords unfair and unearned rights to one particular gender and in this regard the OP is right to call Nigerians to be wary.

Whatever concerns that proponents of women's equality have can and should be adequately addressed by legislation that is gender agnostic. The rights to education, freedom of association, healthcare and the likes should be structured to embrace all citizens therefore catering to one particular gender is uncalled for.

Evidence abounds in the West how the equality movement has been and continues to be abused to the overall detriment of the society. This is something Nigeria certainly does not need.


_{I guess this is one of the rare instances where I agree completely with the OP}

Were all the women arrested all muslims?

Were there no men arrested too?

Timbuktou:


The hadouken was especially hilarious. I nearly burst from laughing hard. One can only hope that the west get their shiit together before it's too late. The world is at war and these guys have yet to wake up. I hear rápe is going on in the streets in broad daylight, can't tell how true though. Now they've made Donald Trump of all people a hero of the common man in America. History will repeat itself. There truly is nothing new under the sun.

For things to change for the better the West has to realise that they cannot continue on this path of ultra-liberalism and permissiveness. They must mount a strong defence for the values that thousands of their people fought and died for over millennia. They will have to take sterner positions on how immigration is regulated realising that many of the people they open their doors to do not share the same values and belief systems like them. In fact the value systems of many of these immigrants are diametrically opposed to theirs – and this difference leads to a whole lot of conflict which can only be dealt with directly and boldly. This in turn means that as a region they must elect leaders who have the guts to address the issues head on instead of skipping around the main problem by trying to “play nice and not offend any demographics”.

Staying the present course things will only get worse for the West, we will continue to see more of these Brussels and Paris styled attacks in the future. It also very likely that there will be continued reports of sexual assaults like the case in Cologne (which interestingly the MSM was reluctant to pick up on in the beginning). Just consider the implications: Germany, under Merkel, opened its doors to about a million refugees in the span of a few months. These refugees, many of who are men within military fighting ages, all come from a culture that promotes a conformist and aggressive ideology. They enter into a society where the women brazenly display their sexuality and the men are reduced to beta status and you think these guys will play nice?

Timbuktou:


Mutaino7, finally got around to the drama. I see it's more of the same genre politics nonsense, and the MSM is shamelessly taking sides and twisting Novak's really tactful statement. He had to backpedal obviously, it would be a bit silly to endanger his career for something he can speak stongly about after retirement. It is annoying to note, though, that MSM is anything but unbiased in their reporting of matters. Shame.

At one point I thought you were showing one of those candid camera comedy clips that YouTube is famous for. An assailant will cease his assault on a woman when she puts up her hands against him or hits him with her handbag? Wonderful. After watching that video one begins to wonder if these people exist in the same reality that the rest of us live in.

If any woman believes that she will be safe by doing any of those things then she is screwed - literally. LOL

Again it is not surprising that this is coming from the heart of Scandinavia, Finland, where policies and ideologies that have issued from the presses of femcentric thinking abound. Here again they demonstrate their failure to realise that reality sometimes, if not most times, operates by a harsher set of rules.

Timbuktou:


Really insightful. How pathetic German men are coming out in skirts. The Arab rapìsts must have had a good laugh at such effeminate comportment. What a sad sight. It's just as effective as the bringbackourgirls hashtag. Useless.

It's instructive that women, or this woman, now think they need men to protect them from external danger. Reminds of some of our most hilarious debates in this section. Anyway, I'm sure the criminals will have a change of heart upon seeing this touching display of emotion. .

It is yet again another stark reminder of the times we live in, the rise of gynocentrism followed by the erosion of masculine virtues has led us to the point that people – men!, think that by making emotive statements, such as mentioned in the video, they can deal with the challenges of the world today. It’s completely pathetic.

The position of both women in the video is also representative of how women deal with matters like this. On one hand they will shame, ridicule, deride or somehow undermine any overt display of masculinity but at the same time expect that same masculinity to be at their service...We all know the drill... but the time is yet to come when they will be compelled to admit that masculinity in its true and strong form is necessary for them to live successfully.

omanzo02:
With the state of the economy, securities of life and properties, decreasing social standards and double standards of PMB administration to national issues, 10 months into the life of this administration there is still no concrete plan or policies to tackle the numerous problems confronting the country and the administrators nonchalance to citizens pleit make one to conclude if PMB intentionally taking revenge on Nigerians for the numerous rejections at the poll or he is just simply incompetent and clueless?

What does the line in bold mean?

Bonapart:
You have no idea what happened there so just keep quiet

Then extend the same treatment to everyone else in a similar situation.

Bonapart:
Mr freeze dnt impose curse on yourself. The lives God has use TB JOSHUA to save are more than millions..... Be warned

Wonderful, so the people he put at risk and those who died in his property that was shoddily built mean nothing because he is a famous pastor?

You do not realise that you insult and desecrate the Name of your Creator just because you want to exonerate this pastor from any wrong doing.

Elijahrona2:


Don't insult God's chosen. Everyone are innocent unless proven guilty. TB Joshua is an international figure. If his case isn't treated well, it'll start an international protest

International protest where? Who will protest against fair treatment here?

People like you continually provide excuses for your leaders that's part of the reason many things are so bad with Nigeria

Excellent, keep transferring the blame.

Is there any man who honestly in his heart of hearts ranks intelligence over beauty?

Timbuktou:
The greatest mistake a man can make in a relationship is apologising to his partner when he's not wrong or she's clearly in the wrong. You relinquishing a large amount of respect in such situations. Do not condone trash in a bid to "keep the peace". You will realise that what you call peace is actually your enslavement which women just love.

So OP, it's time to start looking at nubile babes outside. That has become my default response to women acting their normal out their natutal psychotic inclinations. I believe in fighting fire with fire.

Rossikk:


SHOW US LINKS WITH AL JAZEERA GRILLING ARAB RULERS. I did not say show me a CNN interview of the Syrian ambassador to the UN, or Barbara Walters' cushy, cuddly interview with Assad.

The fact that this is all you have to show PROVES exactly what I've been saying.

Oh now you are hiding behind Al Jazeera. Your grouse is with AlJazeera today? CNN and ABC are fine by you now? So you wouldn't have any problems with a Nigerian asking those same questions to Buhari? I thought, by your thinking, that those news houses only ask direct questions to Nigerians and blacks so that they can be "insulted" and "humiliated".

Rossikk:
Yawwnnnnnnnnnnnn. Show us interviews by Al Jazeera of the Ayatollah and the Saudi king where they are grilled about their human rights record. Or Assad. Or the rulers of Libya, Yemen, and Egypt. Can't be that hard, can it? It would save you all this grammar you're typing.

OK I will humour you this once but now you make readers doubt the kind of TV channels you watch. I thought you said somewhere above in response to another person's question that you have cable TV?

The above links are evidence of journalists asking Middle eastern leaders direct and hard questions

Rossikk:
You lack basic common sense. And you are a liar and deceiver whose response is filled with insults yet you expect not to be insulted. Keep dreaming. You cannot address the main thrust of my question which is, WHY should Buhari subject himself to rude and insulting interviews from Al Jazeera, when that station has never subjected middle eastern rulers to questioning for THEIR misrule and oppression that make Buhari look like a choir boy in comparison? It is unacceptable, and the president must stop it. Asking a whole president of Nigeria about his children schooling abroad or not schooling abroad. Can they ask any Arab or European leader that question? These foreign idiotts just spit in your faces everyday, but you're too consumed by hatred for your fellow Africans to see it's a collective humiliation being meted out on you.

Again you have failed to state one rude question in that interview.

World leaders have been asked even more direct questions by journalists in the past, questions that focus on the policies introduced by said leaders and how their personal lives or conduct have been in relation to such policies. This is nothing new, Buhari is not the first leader to be asked such type of questions.

Honestly I think you need to stop viewing the world through this lens of victimization and persecution. Every action that is unflattering to your concept of nationalism and patriotism is interpreted as slanderous or insulting even when that is not the case. You would rather that our flaws as a nation and people be airbrushed and glossed over, even when it means that our leaders who, by the way, have been largely responsible for the our under-development get a free pass. Such an attitude is self defeating, plus it gets old fast.

Rossikk:
Murdered by whom? Ignorant, thoughtless dullards like you? The first thing a sensible person will ask is why a TV station in a region filled with ruthless, undemocratic, bloodthirsty rulers will ignore them all and instead look for more politically evolved, democratic nations to insult their leaders. Al Jazeera doesn't give a hoot about Nigerians or Africans. Visit any Arab country and see how they treat blacks. Al Jazeera only seek to make themselves and their fellow Arabs feel superior by looking for African leaders and countries to belittle, humiliate and insult. They get away with this because our resident goats here consider it "an honour" to be interviewed by them.

It is only a perverted sense of patriotism that takes offence in these types of interviews.

Cite any one question that was asked in that interview that is an insult to your lofty spirit of black pride and nationalism.

Would your have felt better if the interview with the same set of question was conducted by a Nigerian journalist?

_{I'll overlook the petty name-calling aspects of your retort as usual, I've come to accept that it is your MO when it comes to addressing issues that are not in agreement with yours.}

OP is being murdered on his own thread.

He would rather that Buhari only have interviews with journalists that avoid asking hard hitting questions or discuss anything that is less than complimentary in nature.

Welcome to real life where everything is not always rosy and smooth sailing.


It is very curious that OP's major concern is about who conducted the interview and not on the answers Buhari gave. Would things have been any better if it was a Nigerian who asked Buhari those direct questions?

So because some airlines serve items that may be manufactured abroad Nigeria is doomed?

Quit with these doomsday cries abeg. It's instructive that you are not sounding any alarm that it is becoming increasingly difficult to do business here, what with the incessant power outages fuel scarcity and the likes which are the root causes for firms to rely on products from overseas, but you are here crying about the results.

C'mon people, this is obviously untrue. I just did a little digging and was able to find the following

http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/11/africa/nigeria-suicide-bombing-boko-haram/

Those are all different attacks reported in February 2016 from different news sources. There is no need to spread propaganda that can be easily revealed for the lies that they are.

The troops need our honest support not cheap lies and falsehood that does no one any good.

Apparently many people here are completely deluded to think that foreign companies closing shop is a good thing.

The truth will dawn on you lot slowly.
