delors: Of course they are not feeding you. You are either still a toddler, breastfed by momsie or you have never been outta Naija. Try live in another country for years, look for a job or raise a fam there, then, you go adjust sharp sharp. In fact, na only you go set up coaching classes for accent acquisition.  I live in the UK and I own a business here and in Nigeria. Ive travelled well around the world and I feed my mother not the other way round. I dont need and would not need a borrowed accent for all this. Its the height of lack of self confidence. If Im important to you, you'd learn to understand me, not the other way round. Its sickening the way nigerians fawn and fall over foreigners in Nigeria. They are just everyday people. |

cokeraguda: THE INHUMANE TREATMENT OF ECOBANK NIG STAFF BY ITS MANAGEMENT
It has come to our notice that the management team of Eco Bank Nig Plc for upward of 2 years have decided to treat its staff like slaves. They make the staffs work till very late from Monday to Friday, and compel them to be at work on most saturdays and sundays. Please in God's name who is the Group head Operations of the Bank, who ever you are, this is not being productive or getting the best from your staffs. you compel staffs to be at there desks on saturday and sunday under the disguise of
Customer Account Update KYC ATM Update Customer migration Banking software migration
it must be noted that Eco Bank Nig is not the only bank that either acquired of merged with another bank, how come years after staffs of the bank are still compelled to go to work on saturday and sunday. All i would like to know is if Eco Bank Nig were to be paying its staff on hourly basis, would this be happening?  Nigerians!! Work no dey una go complain of unemployment, Work dey una go complain of overwork. Ecobank is a business they need to maximise the value of every naira they pay to you. |

Aringon: The problem here is not the accent but correct pronunciation of words, 80% of Nigerians living in Nigeria do not pronounce words the right way. We allow the L1( our mother tongue) to influence and affect the L2 (English) negatively and that makes the users and speakers of grammar from other countries not to understand when we speak. Somebody mentioned Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe and let me add Ngozi Iweala. They speak and pronounce words the right way. How can you pronounce : Third as Tod, as in Tod mainland bridge First as fost Father as fada Mother as muda Excellent as exzellent Chicken as shicken South as sout THE ABOVE IS FOR SOUTH WEST REGION
Rice as lice(Igbo) Fresh as flesh(igbo) Router as louter(Igbo) Etc
U need to develop yourself and learn to pronounce words the right way, maybe using the online dictionary that pronounces word. All the tribes in Nigeria lack certain vowels and consonants which invariably affect the english words. Yorubas especially if you grew up in Ibadan, Osun etc- do not have H that's y they will pronounce house as ouse. Eg: Tell aa(her) to see me in my ouse(House)
Ibibio/Efik- they don't have J and that is y they replace Junction/John with Yunction/Yohn Etc
Hausa- don't have F n P, replacing People with feofle and friend with priend
Igbo- L is lacking in Igbo and they replace rice with lice. Other tribes too.
Bottom line is pronounce words the british way Do you know even in the United Kingdom various regions have different accents? So which would be the right? |

I dont sell cars so i stand to gain nuttyn! & actually i have had 3 friends/colleagues patronise Inspired a few yrs back.
Have a nice day all.....& enjoy ur business I think that's over exaggeration. Apart from that though, It's not all about price, I'd always be prepared to pay a premium for peace of mind, If you've owned a problematic vehicle you'd understand where I'm coming from. |

bigx: I would be short but. This is a very rare offer that I think any discerning person should take,
There is a Brand New Blackberry 64 Playbook Tablet up for for Sale, Nothing to add to that since the tablet is brand new but just realise the playbook is manufactured in three sizes; 16GB, 32GB and 64GB so what I have for you is the creme of the crop.
Why Should You Buy a Playbook? 1. It does not Hang : The Blackberry Playbook, unlike the general Blackberry phones is less likely to freeze/hang meaning you can use it freely and wont need to pull the Battery every few Hours (the battery is non-removable though) 2. It is the perfect companion for your bb: the Blackberry playbook, has the ability to use your BIS to browse (meaning you just pay for one connection (BIS) and you can use both your phone and tablet, saving costs). You can also receive your Text Messages, BBM Pings, BB Emails and So on right on your Playbook (Larger Screen) Maybe while your phone is Charging.. 3. It is very flexible in browsing: Apart From being able to use any Wifi Network to browse, the playbook can browse with the internet from any Cheap phone with Internet and Bluetooth (via Bluetooth Tethering) meaning Even if You dont have a Blackberry, you can enjoy internet on your Playbook!! 4. You can watch Live football and Movies Direct on your gadget: Unlike the ipad, the playbook supports Adobe Flash in its browser!, meaning you can stream Live FootBall Matches via atdee.net and the latest movies right from your Playbook! Meaning with your blackberry with unlimited data and your playbook, you wont miss any football match anywhere! 5. This is cheaper to buy and also to maintain: Check other online shopping sites for current playbook prices. Also, as you don't need to subscribe to a separate data plan to use your facebook, it is cheaper to own overtime 6. It is ultra-portable : At 7 inches only, this is really convenient to carry about, 7. It installs Android Apps!!: Most people say (and it actually is true) that the playbook app library is limited, But since OS 2.0, the feature was added to be able to install (sideload) android apps into the device which has made it able to take advantage of the massive Android App Library.. 8. Excellent Battery Life: that explains itself
