Oh so you prefer them dragging it out like they did with beast boy on Titan? Nah, this was a better way to start

not at all. Titan season one was cool but season two was an unnecessary drag. I just expected a bit more back story and then the next two episodes introduces star girl. I’m not saying the pilot wasn’t good. It was good, just that i thought it could have done differently.

Wiseandtrue:
Racoon, Abacha looting the country is a difficult narrative to change, no matter how they try, the truth though glaring is extremely difficult to change!

Reasons:
If you say Abacha never stole, then which money have you been collecting

If you claimed that advisers advised him to stash the money in other countries then why was the monies not properly documented

How many of those so called foreign leaders stashed money in Nigeria

Saying that Abacha's loot is an asset is like saying that Deziani's loot is also an asset, Evans loot should also be called an asset e.t.c

It will take a hardened criminal worse than Abacha to say that he didn't steal!!!

luckily for us we don’t have to look that far. Bubu already said so

Pu7pl3, how does a pretty girl with a cool attitude and a gymnast background end up at the losers table? How does that fvcking make sense, if not just for the sake of fulfilling cliché high school underdog stories? The series as a whole will probably be really good, but the pilot didn't wow me, at all.

she discovering the staff and then straight up goes to fight felt rushed. The pilot felt rushed like they were eager to let us know it’s star Girl like we didn’t already know the title.

lol, n0t the run time exactly, and my b0ok isn't that l0ng. It's the n0rmal length for n0vels. LOTR was like 700pages bro and that was becos tolkien's publisherz cut it down. I d0n't kn0w why i hate it. Maybe cos it didn't interest me. Would u imagine i d0n't like GOT?

no only you. I actually dont get the hype about GOT. It’s actually a good show but personally i just wasn’t down with it as much as media acclaim

Minemrys:
i hate LOTR. Like with passi0n. I still d0n't kn0w what the whole thing was about. A powerful ring that could only just make you invisible? Saruman was supposed to be a powerful wizard, still trying to understand what his power was.

na gandalf tire me pass. All that power and very little to show for it.

Minemrys:
god no pls. They had their chance. We need a better joker. Leto was crap.

less than 5 mins on screen time is too short a time to judge his character.

Apple don’t do things that will subject them to ridicule. Pop up cam is a rubbish
Apple knows Face ID is more secure than fingerprint, that is why they can’t let go of that top bezel till they find indisplay cam working

face id has become somewhat of an inconvenience to people in western as a result of facemask usage due to Covid19; Apple had to issue an update that enables user to skip it and head straight to pin pass- meaning faceid isn’t necessarily the holy grail.
You can expect Apple to introduce an in-display fingerprint scanner coexisting with faceid in the not too distant future, much like the current ones on Samsung (ultrasonic) but a much more improved version as tech advances.
Also the issue of apple taking its time unlike in android is due to lack of competition. Apple is competing with itself and therefore has the luxury of time. That’s not possible in Android where what features you coming up with in a flagship is a last card to win/ward off rivals.
It’s pointless pitting one against another so long as one understands how each os operates and can live with its trade off.

1. Thanos has destroyed the whole multiverse, darkseid has not done that.
2. Thanos has beaten all the heroes on earth easily, darkseid has not done that.
3. Thanos has beaten cosmic entities like infinity, eternity, these guys are aspects of the universe, darkseid cant even beat Trigon, or perpetua.
4. Thanos has beaten the living tribunal who is more powerful than the spectre in DC. Darkseid has never beaten the spectre.
5. Thanos has beaten the one above all, and ruled over the Omniverse even over DC. Darkseid has never and will never do that.

With these points, you should never ever compare darkseid to all powerful Thanos.

Android or nothing

simple! People who grasp this concept know it’s childish arguing over which is the superior os.

Personally i feel it’s all about demographics and whats best is subjective. To the blacks in america, the cosby show was the holy grail- it told the story from the black man’s pov before fresh prince and martin carried the flame. And yes friends was good but to each his own. I prefer the usual black comedy sitcoms. As for reunions it’s not a must and doesn’t elevate the validity of one show being greater than the other. So many factors need to be considered before such can take place. Even Friends reunion i read they are going to be paid a staggering amount for it to happen meaning it just wasn’t for the sake of coming together- it’s business.
The fresh prince once had a reunion (not in the manner friends own will be) but it’ll always have a scar no matter what cos of the fall out between will smith and the first aunt viv; also the death of uncle phil (james avery). Besides, Will Smith has risen to a more prominent figure and is most times busy so it’s difficult for a reunion to happen (one of the casts said so)
Martin which to me is my personal fav comedy sitcom also had its problems off cameras most especially the fifth season and hence Martin decided to end it. Martin, Gina and Cole feuded for years. It took Tommy’s death for them to have a rethink and a reconciliation. There’s been talks of a reunion but with Martin coming out of break to take on more projects like the bad boys and other plans, it becomes difficult. Also Tommy is dead and so it adds a bittersweet feeling should it happen.
P.S Martin took a lot of inspiration from Seinfield. Hence Sienfield is always been revered by all.

Most Sitcoms have it’s faithful fans and nothing you say can change because people grew up and were impacted differently.

In a NORMAL healthy relationship, both the male and female go out to work a d bring in the bread, taking care of them selves with THEIR OWN money equitably, everybody contributing equally where needed and both of them making viable long term plans for their futures

But in this country what is the norm is for a broken lady with nothing of note to contribute latching on to a man that will take care of her needs ant the needs of her wretched village

Nigerian men this is wrong

As we know, fasting and praying is a stronger means of reaching out to God.

I'll go first;
On that day, i
I didn't really plan to fast but I just felt the need to do it. I began on this day and concluded it on the third day.

My experience On the first Day of My Fast: I feared that I might not have strength to stay without food so my first prayer point was about me begging God for a supernatural strength to carry on with the fast.

My Experience On The Second Day;
It was like I was going to die. I felt the need for food badly. I was in my family house then, so I was even more tempted when I saw family members eating but I was able to avoid all that by God's grace

My Experience On The Third/Last Day Of My Fast;
On this day, it was like I had no need for feed at all. My body had suddenly miraculously adapted to going without food. I was the one who just decided to break the fast on that day.

So that's my longest fast for now, a 3 days fasting. I hope to accomplish more.
N.B: You can go about your daily routine as usual even while fasting but the main point is obeying God's word the more and reading his word backed up with prayers at intervals.
Happy Sunday.

Share Your Experiences.

Na small you use take pass me. Na two and half days i do dry fasting. I went to an MFM program and naso i say make i join them for their 1 week dryfasting program. Na my mama wey dey carry church for heart order me to go break fast when she see say her son no get energy for body again. I wan nearly die. Na around 2am i break fast dey chop anyhow for midnight. Damn! Food is life MFM people dey try oo.
Day one- i conserved strength
Day two- i slept to outrun time but damn time crept slowly. I conserved my strength by not talking, laughing or doing nothing but hunger and mind tricks started playing with me.
Day two mid night- a loud moan for help from my stomach. Twisting and turning on my bed begging God to understand the decision i was about to make. He answered- my mum walked into my room and put am end to it.

Openbusiness:
He said according to BIBLE SCHOLARS, not bible so to speak. Some bible scholars are of the opinion that the earth is about 6,000 years +- old, basing their calculation to like saying Jesus died about 2000 years ago, then trying to work or calculate back the date with the various civilizations that were recorded to have been existing before Jesus came, trying to estimate how long each lasted and push it up all the way to Abraham time etc, but the thing is before Abraham, time frame or references to time passing is vvery sketchy and almost non-existent. And besides even from the Bible it can be deduced that the HUMAN BEINGS OF TODAY ARE NOT THE FIRST OR ONLY HUMANS THAT EVER WALKED OR LIVED ON THIS PLANET. And science also catches a glimpse of this, with their theory of human evolution. So d koko is that there's so much about human history that we are BLANK about, especially the humans that lived in the world during the dinosaur era, or the humans that lived in the world post-Garden of Eden era. And the humans that lived in the world before God made Adam and Eve in a new world. Even this Earth is not the first Earth. So much mystery dey dis life abeg. What we know is infinitesimal small compared to what we don't know. But knowing that God exists is the fundamental proof of intelligence. If you are not even smart enough to figure out that it's true God exists, then such people are the biggest fools in existence.

for bible believers i think the rebellion story points to earth being inhabited up until when God decided to create man.

Reva1:
It's not 24hrs 7days period. A thorough research of the Bible shows that. And according to the Bible, man, not the earth is 6000years old

i think you’re right. Even the genesis story i think there’sa time period between genesis 1:1 and when God began the actual creation of man and other things. Earth is much older

Some grammatical mistakes you make and things you say wrong.


Hello, everyone. Before I shoot, I’d like you to read this:

After learning some Spanish and having to correct a lot of English in WhatsApp groups, I’ve discovered that some of us say some things wrong. Some like saying things like “English is not our language”, “Who English epp? (Who does English help?)” “Does it add money to my account?” especially when you correct them. But most of these are said out of ignorance. English is not your language, but why do you use it? English has helped a lot of people, YES! It has. Why else do we use English to teach at school? In fact, more research has been done in English than in any other language, 98% of scientific materials published today are in English, I’m not saying that other languages are inferior, but the truth is that, some people do need to stop being ignorant and face it – English really DOES matter…and YES – it can add money to your account in so many ways; you think about it.

Yeah, I feel like it’s important for me to add this: I’ve come across some Nigerians who speak English as their first tongue; I do as well, so the idea of saying English is not our language doesn’t make any sense at all. I have no problem with anybody speaking any indigenous language.

The English language is not a foreign language to Nigeria, it has mixed with our cultures in a unique way, and therefore has become ours – one of our languages, even though I don’t speak the language of my indigenous tribe, I still have some of their cultural values instilled in me, I cherish and respect them.

Aha! I must not skip this; I've interacted with Brits and Americans on the internet, so I see them make silly mistakes as well, but the ones I've written here are some of the mistakes I see my country people make often. Let’s see some of the grammatical mistakes people make and things they say wrong.

1) The verb – to make;

Of course, you would have definitely seen some people make mistakes with this verb, it’s common to hear people say things like:
“This picture makes me TO remember my past.”
“Eating all the time will make you TO be fat.”
“If you use this medicine, it will make you TO sleep.”
I am sure you’ve already spotted the mistake, right? – Yeah, I made it obvious. The verb – to make doesn’t take “to” after it, so the correct thing to say in each sentence above is: “This picture makes me remember my past.”
“Eating all the time will make you (be) fat” – in this kind of sentence, it’s more common and therefore more natural to skip the verb – “be”.
“If you use this medicine, it will make you sleep.”
The only time it’s fine to use “TO” after the verb – to make is when it is in the passive; for example, “I was made TO kneel down yesterday at school.” NOT I was made kneel down yesterday at school.”


2) The verb – to enable;

This verb requires “to” after it, but it is so amusing that some people would leave out “to” using this verb but would use it with the verb “to make”.
Here is an example: “This software will enable you TO work on your computer efficiently.” NOT “This software will enable you work on your computer efficiently.”


3) The verb – to allow;

This verb also requires “to” after it.
Here is an example: “My parents will not allow me TO go out today.” NOT “My parents will not allow me go out today.”


4) The verb – to reply;

The mistakes made with this verb are pretty common, this verb is intransitive, which means it cannot go with a direct object, therefore, it needs a preposition for it to make sense, and therefore, you reply TO somebody or TO something. NOT reply somebody or something.
“Why didn’t you reply my messages?” is WRONG. The correct thing is: “Why didn’t you reply TO my messages?”


5) The idiom – to be about to do something;

Hahahaha , I remember hearing someone say: “I was just about asking same thing.” Well, the correct thing is: “I was just about TO ask you THE same thing.”


6) The noun – stuff;

Yeah! This particular noun is such a pain in the ass for some people, it is uncountable, so, it cannot take an S after it and an indefinite article can’t be used with it either.
“Please give me five minutes – I want to get my STUFF” NOT “Please give me five minutes – I want to get my stuffs”.
“Where did you get all this stuff?” NOT “Where did you get all these stuffs?”
“Where IS all my stuff?” NOT “Where are all my stuffs?”
“This is good stuff.” NOT “This is a good stuff.”
The only context where stuff can take an S is if it’s used as a verb: “Ade always stuffs himself with so much junk food.”


7) The nouns – slang and jargon;

English is weird, yeah…but it’s not hard. So many people make mistakes with these nouns - These nouns are uncountable – yeah you read it right; UNCOUNTABLE.
I remember reading an article sometime ago, it had: “20 slangs you will hear in Nigeria” as its title: If you’ve been reading this article carefully, you will have known what is wrong with the sentence.
Numbers can’t be used with uncountable nouns, so the correct thing is: “20 SLANG WORDS/EXPRESSIONS/TERMS you will hear in Nigeria”. Or simply put: “Some slang you will hear in Nigeria.” – So you can use “some” with uncountable nouns and countable nouns as well.
“That is internet slang.” NOT “That is an internet slang.”
“Too much slang was used in the movie.” NOT “Too many slangs were used in the movie.”
“His messages were full of jargon.” NOT “His messages were full of jargons.”


8 ) The noun – information;

I don’t need to explain this, just keep it in mind that it is UNCOUNTABLE.
“Thank you for that information.” NOT “Thank you for those informations”
“What a wonderful piece of information!” NOT “What a wonderful information!”
“I want to share some information with you.” NOT “I want to share you an information.”


9) The noun – advice;

This is uncountable as well: make sure you do not mistake it for the verb: advise. The noun is spelt with a C and the verb with an S.
“I need (some) advice from you.” NOT “I need some advices from you.” NOT “I need an advice from you.”


10) All what;

If you’ve been saying this, then you need to STOP saying it! This is WRONG! It should be either: “All (that)” or “All OF what”.
“All (that) I’ve been saying is that….” NOT “All what I’ve been saying is that…”


11) The noun – headache;

Just as people make mistakes with uncountable nouns, they also do the same thing with countable nouns – it’s very common to hear “I am having headache”. This sentence is wrong. It should be: “I have a headache.”


12) The noun – news;

This is an uncountable noun.
“This is good news!” NOT “This is a good news!”


13) The expression – in the twinkling of an eye;

I’ve heard and seen people say: “In the twinkle of an eye.” – This is wrong of course: it should be: “In the twinkling of an eye.”


14) The famous – “I don’t get”.

Okay, I don’t want to be too annoying because I KNOW that some will get angry reading this article, but guess what? Learning never ends. We are used to saying this, but you should know that the verb – to get in this case is transitive, so it needs an object to sound okay.
So I recommend that you start saying: “I don’t get IT.”
Saying “I don’t get” has always sounded weird to me, I’ve asked some foreigners just to be sure it's not just me but they said it sounded weird to them as well.


15) The noun – furniture;

I usually see furniture makers put up a sign like “ABC furnitures.”
This doesn’t work in English; it’s an uncountable noun, so you already know the drill.
“They like playing with furniture.” NOT “They like playing with furnitures.”


I am Nigerian, so I speak more Nigerian English, I don’t hate it, I just like when people make good use of it because I know what it feels like when you murder someone's language. When I was in junior secondary school, I remember saying something wrong in Yoruba while I was playing with my friends, you needed to have seen how three of them were throwing corrections at me. (
There are so many people who care about mistakes – especially in English.
These are just a few of the mistakes. I could keep on writing and writing, but I will leave it here.
So, I hope this helps your English if you’ve been saying it wrong.




Ermmmm, one last thing before the final full stop: This is for people who can’t do without starting a sentence with or using “Am”; What exactly is wrong? Please stop making this horrible mistake, if you can’t use the contraction: “I’m…” then use: “I am…”
It’s not hard work. The pronoun I is just one letter.

Thanks for reading.

Veebliz.

bravo!! Of all your input, “AM” is the greatest offender of all.
