Pen on great poet! You are award the honour of "poetic licence" from today 2022/12/31, from Department of English and literary, university of Qurita, New Zealand. Congratulations. Generalwoodz: So emotional. Well, that's fact of Life. There'll be a time, a time in the distant future where the goats: Messi and Ronaldo would be no more.
A time where those legs that dribbled and scored classic goals would be deadly stiff and cold. A time where those hands that received awards would lay side by side and immovable in eternal rest.
A time where those mouth that called and shouted names of team mates would be dumb and silent for ever.
A time that would get to me and you .
Even the fastest runner can't outrun it.
The smartest thinker can't find a way to evade it...
Even the strongest man would succumb reverently when that time comes.
Oh, that time.
That hookup girl in your street whom has serviced hordes of men won't anymore. |

Let me quickly mark your script before we round up lectures for the year 2022 academic calendar. Punctuation 5/20 ( poor punctuation) Event sequence 6/20 (where did you actually cut your hair?most of your readers don't know ikoyi or mainland) Paragraph 4/20. Grammar 3/20(what is barb my hair, that's not Queen's English) Repeation 1/20 (avoid unnecessary repeation, everything "so" this "so" DenreleDave: So I use to work on the island until I decided to leave because of the working condition...... So on the 24th, I left work to go back to mainland, which is my main residence... Well I decided to take a hair cut in one of the barbing saloon in Ikoyi..
On a Norms, na 500 barber dey charge me for mainland, so I budgeted at least 1k for the hair cut since it is Ikoyi na.... Well, I entered the saloon and saw a few people having their hair cut, and some were eating meat pie with wine.. I almost mistake the place for a cafeteria actually .
So one of the attendants attended to me and offered me a seat, so he explained to me that I will have to wait so that they can attend to others and I said no problem. Mehn, the shop was chilling, I never enter such place for my life, I don't know the kind of AC dey are using. After 2 minutes, naso person bring me hot meat pie plus wine served in a tray , at first I was so happy mehn but sumtin just struck my mind, which kind barber shop be this wey dey serve snacks for customers. I was beginning to feel somehow and unsafe actually... So many thoughts in my head; are these people kidnappers or ritualist 
Then I called the attendant back dt I have a friend who is also coming to barb but doesn't know the shop. So I told him that I want to go get him make he no go lost, then I pretended to be on a call and I went out...
Alo lami lami lan ri, Eni kan kiri eyin re (you can only see the departure of a waterfly, you will never see them come back again)
I walked as fast as I could and never returned there again.
Mind you, I didn't bother to ask about the price for haircut...  |

That DP you use who is she? I know you are a male obembet: Difficult times often reveal a version of ourselves which we never knew existed.
Although we may be forced to embrace the situation we are in because there is no better choice, it usually proves to be a true test of the strength of our character.
Hard times could be tough and frustrating. Sometimes we lose hope and are uncertain of what the future holds.
Going through repeated failures could force you to look at life differently and question your choices.
Nevertheless, life is a great reminder that there are so many things we have no control over, no matter how hard we try.
In the words of Isabelle Allende, “we all have unsuspected reserve of strength inside us that emerges when life puts us to test.”
according to Obembe Tosin, No one wants to go through tough times. Many people don’t even like to say it when they do.
Finally, If you are going to succeed in life, you have to learn life's most important lessons.

Travel › Re: My Experience With A Russian Lady I Met In Dubai by Brownshoe: 4:09pm On Dec 29, 2022 |
Let me mark your script before I close. Punctuation 15/20 Paragraph 8/20 Too much repeation 1/20 Grade D Lecturer remark: you can do better. G00DHardDick: I saw this beautiful thread on frontpage about a guy's travel to Russia and his teaching experience, so I decided to share my experience with a Russian Lady.
I met this Russian lady in Dubai late 2019 and we became close friends, this lady speaks English but not perfectly well (you can easily tell from her Russian accent that she's still trying to learn English). But she was beautiful and awesome. I noticed that Russians loves blacks alot, esp if you're Africa. I used to think Russians are extremely racist far more than the USA, but I was shocked to find out all that was a lie. Russians are the most nicest people on earth, well mannered, cultured and highly respectful.
While it may be true that there might be low racisms in Russia, you won't even notice or experience it because these guys are all nice and friendly.
I also noticed the moment you tell a Russian you're from Africa, they become extremely excited and interested in knowing more about you and Africa, (you must be ready to answer questions, because they love asking questions). They Love learning and educating themselves, esp on things they don't know. I guess this is why they're so smart. However, I don't know about other Russians but this lady made me think so.
NOW BACK TO MY STORY WITH THIS RUSSIAN LADY
Please before I proceed, Russians love using Sophisticated phones and the latest devices. I also think this is why they're highly intelligent, smart and advanced too. You'll find out how I knew about this shortly. Just keep reading..
Now on that fateful day in the airport in Dubai, this Russian lady walked up to me and simply said "hello! (With a half smile on her face)
As in, I was shock and stunned at the same time. Na me this oyinbo person dey talk to? I mumble, one can tell it was obviously my first time meeting a white lady, let alone having one approached me. I also noticed if they found you attractive or like you they'll approach you. (As in, it is not like in our country where women will wish for ground to open and swallow them if they ever make a move on you.)
Hello" she said again because I didn't reply her first greetings, hello" I replied. From there this lady starting talking. I was confused, I noticed she talked very fast but I couldn't understand one single thing she said. (The Russian accent was still there). I then responded "I'm sorry, but I don't understand a thing you just said" she was shocked, she paused some seconds, looked at me and started her speech all over again. This time around she was slower than before.
While I listen attentively, I figured out she was actually telling me her name, introduced herself and asked for my name, my nationality and if I came to Dubai to buy goods or business purpose. Russians speaks Russian language! Except when they learn English then they can speak in English, although not all but i discovered that these Russians are eager and love to learn English language with great passion.So if you're Good in English and wishes to teach English, I'll advise you to find your way to Russia. Forget Media propagandas about war in Russian and racism. Don't believe everything you see on Media!
This lady learnt English because she was a business lady (she learnt it because of her constant travels to Dubai and other non Russian speaking countries) she goes to these countries to purchase goods and cargo them back to Russia. Now you you can tell why she needed to learn English, right? She deals With non Russians on her business trip so learning English for her was very necessary for easy communication.
She asked my purpose of visiting Dubai and I told her "for work purpose". She seem interested all the more and enquired to know the kind of work. We talked at length until she started asking about my family, relatives, siblings etc. What a sweet Angel she is!
She then offered me to come over to Russia and probably meet her Dad and Mom. Omo na so I shock o. Me wey just land for Dubai, I never even go the company wey I wan work for, a Russian is already inviting me over to her country. I didn't give it a second thought at all I accepted the offer at once (who know like better thing?).
I also noticed that this Russian lady has lots of connection in that airport. As in, she's a business lady and she do come there to purchase goods from time to time through cargo, so what do you expect? Sometimes they even send the goods to her directly to Russia while she's in another country purchasing goods. She has that kind of connections!
LET'S CONTINUE,
While I accepted her offer to come over to Russia, she started making preparations for my arrival. First while in Dubai I was to go back to Nigeria and prepare for my Russian trip. Guess what?
This Russian lady went and bought bags of clothes, I don't mean anyhow clothes, she went shopping there in Dubai and bought very expensive female clothes (about 5 bags), she requested I should give them to my mom, she also bought apple laptops and wrist watches, and then iphone 11 pro max (that was the latest iphone then in late 2019). And that was the phone and laptop she was using. Now you see why I said these Russians love using Sophisticated phones and devices? I never asked her to buy any of these!
I also noticed she has a younger brother whose name was Vladimir. As in, Vladimir! I thought it was Putin! You know na! Lol
I also noticed that majority of Russians loves president Putin alot (their president). I equally noticed her younger brother uses the same iphone 11 pro max, I knew this because whenever he video calls me on WhatsApp, it was usually through his laptop webcam and dude always play games on his iphone 11 (I saw it through the video call). The guy seems to love blacks even more than his sister, probably because he wants to learn English.
Now on their dad's part, the man has a restaurant and he's even more friendlier than I thought. They can't speak English. Only the lady can! The father was just similing all through the video call because he knew I won't understand whatever he says. Sometimes the lady interprets if her father wishes to say anything.
So I came back to Nigeria with the items she bought, and we do make video calls 24/7. She speaks with my mom and siblings too. But her English was and his difficult for them to understand. I find out that these Russians have a thing for black guys, although not all but some. Maybe it because of our English, I can't tell exactly!
In early 2020, coronavirus came and started our whole plans, and I was stucked in Nigeria. Even though my Visa and other documents were already getting prepared, I couldn't proceed further because of the travel restrictions all over the world as a result of the COVID 19. It was so terrible! But we still speak on video calls 24 7 even till now.
Permit me to say this, Russians are one of the most nicest people on earth. They're so sweet, welcoming and friendly. The only way they'll dislike you as a Nigerian is when you try to scam them online (yahoo yahoo) and they discover you're a Nigerian,. whereby giving yourself and Nigeria a bad impression.
In summary, Russians in particular are great and lovely people. If you have an opportunity to make friends with one, please do! If you're also good and fluent in English language and wishes to teach English, I'll advise you to find your way to Russia. |

Travel › Re: My Worst Xmas Experience Ever. A Case Of Uk by Brownshoe: 11:26pm On Dec 27, 2022 |
No mind him, like say in Nigeria them bring the Xmas party come him room no be you go go where fun are,Like me now na inside I dey since 24th na Naija I dey o, when I get 3k Naira for acct where I wan go, if make any attempt to buy for fuel for say I wan drive through, acct na zero be that I just stay put. Kenn55: Do you have Nigerian community in your area? Or are you the only Nigerian there?
Do you attend a Nigerian church? Do you relate with fellow Nigerians?
A Nigerian once told me he is lonely and bored in a city that has lot of Nigerians. When I probed him, it turns out that he doesn't want to associate with fellow Nigerians. In his words " I don't have time for Nigerians and their wahala " .
I don't know about where you are anyway but what happens where I am is that the Nigerian community organize parties during this period where Nigerians gather and have fun. I and my family went to a party on Christmas day and I hosted one on boxing day. We have another one on Friday and Saturday hosted by different families.
The last 2 days have been sweet. Lots of food,drinks,dance, games etc. 2 students even recreated the Townhall bala blue dance and got lots of dollars for the performance.
So even in Nigeria, the fun does not come to you. You have to find it and make it happen.
So my advice is know your city, know the Nigerians in your city. If the Nigerians in your city are the dull and individualistic type, you can be that person that bring them together and start forming a community that would start making things happen. Expand to other African countries like Ghana. I will be attending a Ghana organized get together on Sunday. They came to ours and we will go to theirs after all we are all Africans |
