Greyworld:
Kindly elucidate on the depth and structure thing. English has so many irregularities but since you are more like a "native speaker " you just don't notice it.

No agreed upon spellings.

Vastly different dialects. If we can call it that.

Quite shallow in describing the intricacies of what's been described.

The above problems CAN be solved if linguists are incentivized to do so. Which means money. Not enough investment is definitely a factor.

Lanretoye:
Always shooting his own leg,pele can do very well as the coach of the Brazilian national team cos of his experience,he will be able to select and organize good players too...translate that.

But Tinubu already plays the role of a coach in many respects as it stands now.

Being the President IS NO COACH position.

Hamachi:
You need someone to guide you

Sure.

But even they (guides) suffer losses.

Hamachi:
One of the things I wish I knew earlier...

Saving is not investing.

True.
But Tell that to someone who got his hands burnt while investing.

Lifeiseazi:
No…but security wise Erdogan life is also at risk just like that of US president.

Risks should be ranked.

Both of them are prime targets by crazy people but in no world is a Turkish leader more 'at risk' than a US president.

It's fairly common practice in War torn Arabic countries & communities to symbolically burn the US flag.

Lifeiseazi:
Erdogan survived two coup

IBB and Abacha survived 2 known coups and multiple unknown.

Does that make them at par with Erdogan or other world leaders too?

God1000:
Nice, pidgin should be taught in our schools because its widely spoken outside Nigeria as well

Pidgin doesn't NEED to be taught.

It also lacks a formal structure & depth.

Truthisunique2:
See ehn this thing called politics is not who make noise pass

Obi fans would understand this later, it's a game, it's about structure not social media cruise

Atiku is a veteran he said he was confident of winning primaries and he did

He said he is confident of winning main election with guarantee of free and fair election from buhari

He was also confident he'd win the Primaries in 2015 in APC which he lost.

He was confident in 2019 too but lost again.
He has also (presumably) been confident in his past attempts. Ending up not winning.

While I know NOT who would win the 2023 elections, His confidence says little about his prospects. It has been a weak predictor for all his attempts.

BeanmanX:
White ass licker that's what u are...if you were sensible enough you would have castigated your slave masters instead of supporting them..

Of course the world is not fair. Haven't you realized?

Everywhere humans exist there'll almost always be a pecking order.

Perhaps you should have started your 'fairness' call from Nigeria where VVIPs drive against traffic and get all sorts of privileges.

N.B. No one was forced to come for the funeral and
American Presidents have moved freely in the past (even within the US) but it became unsafe after deaths and scares.

The US president doesn't have the same risk profile as, say, an Erdogan. And that's NOT because of the men themselves but the nation's they represent.

haybhi1:
Everyone should learn to behave in ways that keep his/her self-respect intact.



I have an iPhone-7 for sale. Neat and 100% functioning. Zero faults or dents.

68k

Location is Lagos. ZeroNineZeroTwoOne SevenSix EightZeroZeroEight

Self respect where you (African country) imports hugely from these nations and have -ve net migration to them every year.

Hahahaha.

Acidosis:
Kudos to Erdogan. The funny thing is Turkiye's economy is in a total mess. But self-respect has never been about money. Na wetin we dey explain to some second class world citizens be dat on the other thread. Nobody will respect Africans/blacks unless we begin to respect ourselves. The double standard in the world is too much.

China has a population of 1.5 billion. A typical Chinese President controls 20% of the world's population. [b]If Xi says he's the most powerful world leader on that basis alone [/b]and, therefore, be accorded equal respect, is he wrong?

Xi can't be the most important leader in the world because China isn't the most Influential nation.

While the US is FAR from Perfect, it is without doubt the World 's most influential country.

American Presidents used to be very 'free' before but after a few deaths & scares, they no longer take chances.

nighthawk1:
Putin and Zelensky for now cannot be under the same roof unless for peace talks.

Xi jinpin for now views US no3 person visiting Taiwan as an act of agression. He wont want to clink glasses for now.

Modi of India supports Russia for business and now want reparation starting with the Crown jewel.

**This is a case of some animals been more equal than others" This is where i love Paul Kagame of Rwanda, Late Robert Mugabe, Ghadafi. They have their flaws but they are Africans who know and defend Africans.

Ghadafi & Mugabe 'defended' Africa to the extent that it was in their interest.

Western leaders are corrupt too. But aren't as Rich as African Politicians despite presiding over Richer countries. How?

Creamypie:
Is that not a police station on background? Banditry thrives when locals support them

What locals?

The ones fearful for their lives?

derecho:
Kikikiki... You don't need to be intelligent to know these pictures are not roads in northern Nigeria..

Copy and paste blogger

They are. But they're the very good roads.

oluseyiforjesus:
An artist should not only depend on his art work, dey engage in things like MC, radio presenter, DJ etc

I think you're refering to an artiste.

Which is different from an artist.
Maybe Very few artistes are artists.

Calmcool:
Can you imagine? Just like that?

Na family don enter serious crisis including the side chick.

All these useless girls will not leave people's husbands alone.

Sad story.

But how are they in trouble?

gameova:
Imagine Nigeria without Christianity Or Knowledge Of Anybody Called Jesus still practicing Our traditional Religion without any Colonial Interference. Will we all (now Christians) have gone to hell when we died?

Colonial Masters didn't 'introduce' Christianity.

Christianity came from what's currently known as the Middle East.

Actually the Colonialist were themselves influenced INTO Christianity.

Mufakirnaqdiun:
Mtcheww, come be like say these bandits no dey finish..
Conduct a mass operation,and code name it "operation whiskey alpha tango"
Bomb all of them to Oblivion,go after them,possess their hideout,burn everything down,comb every forest and shoot them on sight,no mercy,no space for surrendering,cut their limbs,decapacitate them,force then to eat pork meat,burn them and scrape their skin off.
Do this for 3-6 months if possible,and see some changes.

Even if they are sincere and commited, that place is huge.

There are states in the North geographical probably bigger than all South Eastern states combined. AND are non motorable.

May God help us.

lhordspy:
80% of them without Pvc.


They think its by rallies

Person will just wake up, gather underage kids and street boys begin do rally for a man who does not know what green energy means.

No wonder he came out 3rd class and 46th throughout his primary and secondary school days.




On Election day, inshallahu. We shall know.

Hahahaha.

PO may very well not win.
But I think this movement has started something in Nigeria.

Also, I very much doubt that you rightly predicted the outcome of Osun elections. Or did you?

GoooodHardDick:
In another news, it was said that the girl ate his money and refused to marry him.

Nigeria girls with Free things, you wan chop but you no wan pay

The foolish SIMP Chinese man should be dealt with no Mercy. death sentence straight

Really?

Wow. Although you should tone down your generalizations small.

DrRasheed:
There's no fcknn way Fintech will flourish under multiple taxation policies of this administration. Kuda Bank has really tried but woefully failed.

Multiple taxation did not cause their losses.

Tax is applied on Net income.

I think it's cost of acquisitions (customer).

yomi961:
It is clear that this woman is an attention seeker.
And she is enjoying and it milking the gullible people giving her that attention.

Well she may. I certainly don't support her comments.

But she does raise important uncomfortable conversations for discourse though.

LeoDeKing:
Well, that is draconian, to say the least.

Since he was there during the auctioning, he should have notified the officials so the officials in turn give him a concession such that he will be the one to buy the car. If that happens, he will end up buying his own car even at less than competitive price. The amount he pays for the car now being his fine for whatsoever offence he had committed.

Yes, it happened to a colleague who got his car imported with fake papers and the customs officers impounded the car. His car was subsequently auctioned to him at a very reduced price.

Anyway, no need crying over spilled milk, he should take heart, shiits do happen.

An auction typically involves a bid.

He would try to optimize for a low bid and so won't win the bid. He'll be outbidded.

Any auction with preferential rights for a particular person is NOT an auction. If you think he should pay it as fine then he would as well have since paid the fine — so as not to be in this situation.


Our country is just sick.

May God help us.

You optimized for money, Now you got money and you're sad?

holatin:
that's the rule of stowaway on ship.

don't do it

Really?

That's strange.

Femiwilli:
Thanks to Elizabeth we have one section of the country feeling its their right to rule.

This is El-Rufai's son on twitter

This is false.

The North only wins the Presidency where (at least 1 ) other major groups supports a Northern candidate.

This became clear in 2011 when even though they (core North) supported PMB, he lost.

He only won (2015) when another major group (SW) favoured him.

Ablemed:
I'll like to make my story short as possible without much introduction tho. And also a lesson parents/ new couples should learn from my ordeal, Pls read to the end.

Alright So I'm the only male born of my parent among 4 girls, i also happen to be the last born at it. my problem started when growing up, cause my parent aged bfr getting a Male child which was my Dad and his parent cravings, I was pampered when growing up such that my parents would never watch me do stressful things, dictate when I go out and who I moved out with (My mum's own was even worse cause when growing up, if I want to go out, she'll always send me back inside) even during secondary school they had to get a school very close to our house. my sisters were only the ones that would go to mum's shop and make sales while mum would either stay with me at home or if I eventually go the shop sef I'll always sit and just watch. Literally, I'll say I was denied the right to be exposed to lotta things and real issues about life.

And cause I was not the sociable type cause I'll literally stay at home, watch movies, eat and my movements limited, I was exposed to pornography and masturbation at a very young age and I battled that bad habit thr my University days (Did I say my Parents also dictated the University I went to cause it was close to our House to and any small riot in school then the next hour they'll come and pick me back home till every thing dies down)

So guys over time, I've grown to be this boring guy who is shy, timid, suffering from low self esteem and can't give vibe even when gisting with my fellow guys, in which most of them just relegate me to this small boy level. Did I also say I've never had a Girlfriend all my life cause the truth is ion always know what to say or how to maintain talking vibe. At first I decide not to care and just always console myself with I was created like that and just continue my boring life, it has now gotten to the point I'm not rated in anything at all, most people just make friends with me cause of what they can gain from me, I'm not even good in anything, I can't speak clearly, I'm kinda literally mentally dumb and ion see me useful for anyone or anything, perhaps maybe God only, No business sense, no work skill or experience, no trade experiences to

I'm currently a Corp member serving and before then I rebelled against my parent cause they wanted to dictate the state I serve which is our state of residence so I go to my ppa from home but I told them No and even got to a fight to my Dad cause of this issue and we din speak for like 2weeks, he eventually called me and we settled. But the issue now is guys I've got less than two months left for my POP for service and you don't expect me to return home useless to my parent house again?? Tho sincerely thr my service year, I din touch my allowee so I've saved up to 270k so far. the issue is ask me what I want to do with the money? I've got no idea, what business sense or idea? Nothing is coming to my head, infact I don't know. The funny thing is, my roommate is exactly my opposite, very outspoken, bold, full of vibe and bring back different female friends each day, this guy is not really financially buoyant but you see girls cook and travel all the way to give him for us to eat. I just wish I was like him, i wish i had the vibe

I'm 24years now and at this age, no idea bout my future, bout life, I can't even relate with people, I'm just so sad, depressed and frustrated. At the moment the only job coming to my head is the military cause I served in a military barrack cause I choose it myself but most of the junior officers are trashing my interest by telling me not to waste my time say I no go survive am with my nature, that military needs tough people and endurance bla bla and on the other hand, my mum is saying Never she'll never allow me join the military not over her dead body and she's bout recruiting my Dad to and Sincerely I'm frustrated and my depression have taken another turn that over the past weeks I've been thinking suicide and it's getting really high, I say I should type this here bfr the worse happen cause if I can't be useful for myself what really is the point living??

Please this advice is to parent and intending parent/couples, pls and pls expose ur children to life, don't over pamper your kids, work on them to make them sociable and outspoken, I swear you'll be doing them a great favour. For me I thought my parent loved me, I thought they were trying to protect me but they've put me in a deep mess I have to face alone and just I pray I get the opportunity to make things right with me

While it's good to be self aware.

The vast majority of people aren't better than you.
You're still young to pick an area of interest amenable to your field.of study & then read, read, read.

You can do a lot without many friends.

henryobinna:
He didn't say they will labour in vain, he said they will labour to death.

Yes.

Thanks for the correction.

LeoDeKing:
Tinubu will never respond to inconsequential olodo seeking his attention.

He can join his ipobs on social media and continue ranting, pim, you no go hear from Tinubu.

Atiku is the only challenger, so he is not bothered by all the cacophony of noise coming from the headquarters of hate, bitterness and aggression.

What do you mean he would not comment.

PO may not win the election but it is on record that Tinubu has said "They would labour in till they die".
If that's not a snide remark to PO's Labour then what is?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2022/07/tinubu-mocks-labour-party-members-theyll-labour-till-they-die-video/amp/

He comments, just like any other politician.

sammysneh:
What do you expect from South Africans very wicked set of individuals

Some SAns have shown wickedness in recent times through Xenophobia BUT virtually ALL African Countries threaded this path at one point or the other—Including Nigeria.

Africans are only one when there's nothing at stake.

Officialgarri:
I don't think he said "all pentecostal".

By the way, his observation is correct and majority of what should be pentecostal churches have watered their standard to accommodate more "customers"

Even if he didn't go to all Pentecostal churches, visiting only one shouldn't get him to make many inferential conclusions.

Also Protestant churches (which is what he refers to as Penticostal) vary widely.
Baptist, Methodists, Seventh Day Adventists & Assembles of God all have huge variations. And so do others.

eddynaira125:
Am talking from experience not one book wrote by one fellow,

The Ogbe ijaw vs Aladja is not ijaw/itsekeri crisis, millions have been pump, things have been done but it still continue, Asari should be arrested

This is a book on the anthology of events in this particular conflict since 1976 — when Asari was 12— to tell you that conflicts have histories. The new guys are just substitutes.
