Customs should be held responsible for this. WEMCO was also an architect of their own downfall. Unfortunately, these bastards might have repatriated most of their monies assisted by our idiotic and crony banks. You have waiver series of soft landing from our government and yet took us as fools.

Reference:
And they end up in just one port in Nigeria....can you see how hopeless we are in this country...

Alaska is like the size of Nigeria. How many ports do we have in Alaska? Nigeria having Lagos Port Complex, Tin Can Island Port in Lagos; Calabar Port, Delta Port, Rivers Port at Port Harcourt, and Onne Port

Repetition of one paragraph 8 times with similar but different words still suggesting the same notion.. Law is confusing

Golden, Literal, and Mischief rule are all in play and also not leaving out the purposive approach

Working under hot sun makes them impatient

I beg we are tired of this on front page

toprealman:
That is what is killing Arsenal. A team and f "cool headed" players. No fire in their bones. Kudos to the young doc. These are people I like working with......#TeamGinger

Fire in the bone is towards productivity and not stupidity.

hmmm the CMD is mad, a private hospital that belongs to united Methodist church in our area pays their doctor #360,000 per month and he is even complaining after that they send him to Philippines for a six months medical training, that cmd too like money

Is every hospital own by UMC or FGN? Please reason

If it is a private hospital, I don't see anything wrong for a start except if he is praying for everyone to be falling sick while they collect exorbitant fees to keep paying him higher salary

Timijo:
Did you understand the explanation?
You cannot make a sentence with only "Am". It must go with first person pronoun I.
For examples:
I am going home.

I am working on my computer.

The contracted form of "I am" is "I'm", and that is what some people pronounce as "am".
You can use "Am" to begin a question.
Examples:
Am I depositing enough money in the account?
The sentence: I am going home can be changed into a question like this: Am I going home?
Here is another example: Where am I right now?

That's my point. You have just used "Am" in a sentence. It is called interrogative sentence. So do not say you can not start a sentence with "Am" only if you will say you cannot start a declarative sentence with "Am" and likewise others
Types of Sentences
Declarative sentence,imperative sentence, interrogative sentence,exclamatory sentence

Timijo:
"Am" is the first person singular of the verb be, and it is used only for First Person Singular Pronoun “I”.
This also means that you cannot start a sentence with "am". Example: Am going to be a father next week. This is grammatically wrong.
The correct one is: I am going to be a father next week.

Make a sentence with "Am"

adecamp:
A whole lot of people make this mistake. Let me break it down. "Am" is a verb while "I'm" which is the short form for "I am" is used to modify a verb or stands as a sentence as the case may be.

Examples: if you are asked, "How are you ?"
You say, "I'm fine". Meaning "I am fine". But if you are asked " How are you ?" and you reply "Am fine". The statement " Am fine" does not have a meaning whatsoever.

Other examples are "I'm coming home now"(correct)..."Am coming home now"(Extremely wrong). We should please take note of simple blunders like this because, we might find ourselves talking to someone of higher calibre and making grammatical errors like this speaks little of us and also, in letter writing or essays, mistakes like this is minus 1/2 and imagine you use "Am" like 20 times, that is minus 10 Marks for a simple mistake that would have easily been a bonus point.

Thanks.

How do you know which was pronounced. Give more examples in writing usage

One chance are mostly done by orubas.
They are the ones that drive taxis the most and are generally the tribe that almost all of them are ritualist.
I pray that we should never fall into one chance.
Amen.

Amen

Abuja looking so ugly, I don’t know why they didn’t seek the service of world class architect and city planners while developing the city. Nigerians no get taste for architecture walahi

You are expecting shortcut experts to be futuristic

Incompetent Law enforcement agencies we have in Nigeria

Monarch should be scrapped

Idiotic Arsenal players

DonGtoG1:
It will only take God's intervention and miracles for so many things to turn around for good in this country called Nigeria. All these mess didn't start today.

Very sad and unforgettable way to lose loved one.

Pray the people start behaving like Godly beings and not the country. It is the people that needs spiritual arrest.

kalvoken:
He is non wanted. If they wish to arrest him, it's so easy.
Arrest all his family members and watch him present himself.

Useless cowards. #policeNaScam#

Just like agberos in Lagos, policemen are criminals in uniform.

Saying they should arrest all his family members means your mentality is same as them. Is that how a sane society works. Let them put contemporary investigative model and forensic tech in place with use of media

festacman:
It wrong to believe that government should make money circulate by engaging in reckless spending as in the past. The truth is that our economy can only grow when local production and entrepreneurship are encouraged.

In other climes, banks conscientiously work to build customer base and develop the economy by providing funds and expert guidance to micro/small scale businesses as well as entrepreneurs with good ideas. Here in Nigeria, banks are on high horses servicing mainly importers, politicians and big companies.

In other climes, there are thousands of NGOs set up by wealthy people and big corporations to help people with excellent business ideas and poorly-funded going concerns. They organize business plan competitions to encourage entrepreneurship. In Nigeria, wealthy individuals sponsor candidates for elections while big corporations organize music concerts.

God bless you. Unfortunately the larger populace are looking for free Lauch while those that can make a difference are yet greedy and visionless.
But truth be told. It's not enough to block corrupt practices without nuturing the human habitats. It is the government that can enable a lot of things

Actually the problem isn't SARS but the people. SARS is a product of the people. Civil Servants are nonchalant, Medical personnel's are nonchalant, go to the Airport you'll see nonchalance. Politicians are nonchalant,. Banks are nonchalant as they also aren't promoting small businesses. You'll find nonchalancy everywhere in the country.
So what do we expect. Unfortunately SARS deals with gun and they are also nonchalant with to their resources.

Egypt has refunded me a portion of visa money I paid before
So your assertion is WRONG

I wasn't ascertaining. It is a fact. Tell us the truth. I'm sure you used an agent that sweetened you.

handsomeyinka:
So are you trying to tell us that visa fee is free?

They should return some certain amount of the fee charged if visa is not granted.

Get the drift. There's nothing like visa fee. You paid for the visa application process and not the visa

USA wan renew ‘magaship’ in Nigeria
They know Nigerians are wise now and avoiding their embassy hence the loss in their profits
Now they need to renew and capture more magas .
N.b what’s there in refunding at least half of visa fee if visa is not granted

No country in the world refunds visa application fee after interview/biometricts. It is called visa application fee and not visa fee. If you cancel before going for your interview and biometrics, within the stipulated period, you get a refund, otherwise no.

Every disappointment is a blessing. What if he drives the car and involves himself in a terrible accident.

We should stop spiritualising everything. The man cutting the tree should pay.

The man cutting the tree is stupid. Can't he ensure safety before the act. Very dumb fellow and at the end they will want to be referred to as professionals in their field. People that lack gumption.

jolak5:
But they should have informed them before they took that action, it is a total disrespect to Nigerians. Can they do that to a Canadian or an English?

Have Nigerians respected themselves before expecting outsiders to respect them. Comparing Nigerian to UK/Canada, what a wasted effort.

SON failing big time.

Jman06:
This is an insult to those who burn midnight candles to acquire professional and academic doctorate degrees.

Please those that bought honorary doctorate degrees should be barred from bearing the Dr title.

Of course that has been in place ever since. Using Dr on an honorary award is a fraud

Why put Dr in his name. It is fraud to pit Dr in your name if it is Honorary award. He should keep it in his wardrobe. He can only use Dr if he researched and presented a thesis. If not they should stop making useless noise
