I have finally learned the statutory definition of imbroglio.
It means been in a really embarrassing and confusing situation.

Thanks for this!
I have finally learned the statutory definition of imbroglio.

I never quite made use of the voice feature when searching for words meaning.

MizMyColi: @Thesonofmark What is the meaning and origin of the word "Double Entendre"? The pronunciation, "düb-əl-äⁿ-ˈtäⁿd" fancifies the noun, "Double Entendre". I found the pronunciation more intriguing than the meaning. thanks for the word....we guys often make use of related words to manipulate ladies....two meanings! another word with an intriguing pronunciation is "Imbroglio" |
Education › Re: Nairaland Residents' Grammar Diary... by ayobase(m): 8:40am On Jul 24, 2015 |
TheSonOfMark: LOL. Valid excuse. Who doesn't love purple?
Literally, "pachydermous" means "thick-skinned".
It could also mean "tough hide" or "impervous".
I tend to use the expression "mentally pachydermous" figuratively which means "strong/tough psyche" or "being able to withstand psychological torture/stress or not affected by it".
Example: How time flies... The once timid Mizmycoli is now seemingly (mentally) pachydermous to insults. ......dermous or ......dermatous? |

I swear if I ever come across Any youth I need to help, the first thing I will jokingly ask is the Nairaland username .That will determine our Relations .. . . Need to save your energy wrt this situation. Seun needs to smile to the bank, thus thread given more and most attention makes it to front page by "default" to fetch more monies. many interesting and informative threads are mostly read and digested without enough comments sometimes. Any NLer that wants to read good and quality piece knows where to go. Front page is Seun's Nairaland's selling point. we should contribute it d effect. Nevertheless, good and sound topics from sections should also hit FP to balancing. |

Business › Re: The Exaggerated Impact Of Iran's Oil Deal On Nigeria and Global Economy by ayobase(m): 8:48pm On Jul 16, 2015 |
Truth234: That is what is expected of a forward-thinking nation but sadly that is not the situation with us. If you look at our GDP ($523 billion), you will realized that agriculture made up of 40% of our total GDP while crude was just 10.1% going by $52 billion revenue generated from the sales of crude oil last year.
The truth is with the right economy strategy we we will survive without crude oil, if the tax generated by government can be properly accounted for, a nation of almost 200 million people trust me we really don't need crude oil but this is Nigeria, no long term startegy. Crude oil: 10% of our GDP Agriculture: 40% of our GDP Tax and others: 50% Then, we are not doing bad as a nation. We should focus more on Agriculture and Tax. Tax messed Greece up. |

Politics › The Parable Of President Buhari And The "Federal Character" Principle by ayobase(op): 12:05am On Jul 07, 2015*. Modified: 7:12am On Jul 09, 2015 |
"Federal Character Commission (FCC) was established in 1996, it was supposed “to enforce the federal character principles which aimed at ensuring fair and equitable distribution of posts; social-economic amenities; and infrastructural facilities among the federating units of the nation.” The intention was obviously for it to be the watchdog of government ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) in ensuring an evenly distributed workforce that reflects ethnic diversity and the geopolitical divides of the country. Also, it was supposed to ensure that socio-economic amenities and development infrastructure are equitably distributed across the country." "The “federal character” principle, which has been enshrined in Nigeria's Constitution since 1979, seeks to ensure that appointments to public service institutions fairly reflect the linguistic, ethnic, religious, and geographic diversity of the country." "The phrase Federal Character was first used by the late General Murtala Ramat Muhammed in his address to the opening session of the Constitution Drafting ..." 5 analyses are involved in this Federal Character situation (women/marriage as a case study); 1. Buhari finds his desired taste of women within his region (wetin he dey look for sokoto dey under his sokoto) without and without lo oking out to other regions to confirm and compare if he has indeed gotten the best women - Immediate Satisfaction. 2. He couldn't find women to his taste within his domain, but in Ogun and Anambra States. He decides to marry them FOR LOVE despite the ethnic and religious differences - Un-bigoted and Panoramic Researcher. 3. He discovers the BETTER and BEST women are within the other regions, but decides to still marry the GOOD ones from his region due to ethnic and religious differences - Bigoted and Un-Panoramic Man. 4. He realizes the BEST women are in every region, but decides to still marry from his region due to ethnic and religious sentiments -[b] A Bigoted Un-Federal Character Man. 5. He discovers the BEST women from every region. And he marries from every region - A True Federal Character man. You can do apply where majorly needed.Source: http://johnomolaolu..com/2015/07/the-parable-of-president-buhari-and.html

Been confirmed that some have been at the bank vicinity since 1am (midnight) to see to BVN registration - today is the deadline. Among them are those who come around for withdrawal to the last kobo. The ATM must have been programmed to misbehave because many couldn't get access to withdrawing, but checking of balance. Source: http://johnomolaolu..com/2015/06/situation-at-gtbank-minna-today.html

obontami: Obasanjo cleared our debts, yaradua left about 60 billions in our foreign reserves, our economy was stable then ,naira was 100 to 1 dollar. shoeless jonathan came, guess what? corrupion is not stealing, boko haram and bomblast every where, insecurity oil theft continued,lack of respect for democracy and public institutions became perversed, army became partisan, 230 naira to 1dollar, foreign reserves depreciated, left a debt of 7 triillion. jonathan and his cohorts of crimals destroy everything. Yet some babaric uncivilsed religious bigots and tribal idiots are supporting Gej and his acomplices because he is from thier region not minding the atrocities that he had committed. These brainless bigots have to be eliminated so as to aviod their canserous ideology from spread among nigerians. Jonathan destroyed nigeria .Buhari is not a magician ,lets give Buhari time to fix our dear country. We are talking about pressing matters of the moment, and you are here talking about the past. Your post is so off topic. You, your 'likes' and your 'shares' should stop dragging us back pls. Change is here! |

Tallesty1: Stuffs you think when you become uncontrollably addicted to sex.
I am just sick and tired of all these relationship advisers who think that one thing is more important than the other in a relationship or marriage.
After sex then what?
It is girls with this mentality that are sold on their idea that "Sex Would Make Him Stay".
I know that making love is an important part of a happy marriage. It also has many health benefits but this girl's approach no be am. She sounds like she's got all the experience.
Won't be surprised if you tell me that she is a baby mama. Your d1ck functionality needs to be checked. She never meant "Sex Would Make Him Stay". Do not twist her words and paint her black with " Won't be surprised if you tell me that she is a baby mama." On point piece. |
