This is a good post. I can see that you are into sociolinguistics with a bias for Nigerian English. However, I would like you to consult other dictionaries on "impeach" and "sentiment". I assumed you consulted the Oxford Advanced Learners' Dictionary but you can check some equally good dictionaries e.g. Chambers. "Impeach" as removing from office is not wrong. "Sentiment" can be positive or negative, and if negative, seeing it as being biased is correct. I want you to make further consultations and get back to us. And as for Nigerian English, the problem we have about it is standardisation; and when we talk about standardising the Nigerian Variety of English (which obviously exists) which framework should we employ? Banjo 1967, Bamgbose 1971, Adetugbo 1979, Odumuh 1987, among many others. If sociolinguists in Nigeria can actually work something out, then we would no longer move toward a particular 'super variety of the English language' but towards International English which is currently in vogue. (You can read the works of David Crystal on the Theory of English Neutrality and Sydney Greenbaum and B. Seildhofer on International English and International Corpus of English).

One again, good work.

CelebritiesRe: Toyin Aimakhu's Husband Begs Her For Forgiveness On Instagram, Says He Messed Up by Coolcube: 3:59pm On Aug 26, 2015
This is what happens when a woman is paying for your food. Before people start throwing insults, He is VERY WRONG to have flirted, I doubt if it's not more than flirting, but the babe self no try. Obviously, last year's incidence repeated itself and she deleted all his pictures again. She definitely wants a divorce since she is the one feeding the mumu guy. Most women who love their husbands act with reason and would always want them back if domestic violence is not involved. If the guy can apologise in public, then he must have done that in private but without any difference to the babe. I guess the babe just dey think: You can be living on me and still be cheating on me.

My dear guys, get a life and don,t depend on a woman but above all, love your woman and leave side chicks alone. shocked grin

Christianity EtcRe: 10 Unbiblical/unspiritual Practices Thriving In The Church by Coolcube: 1:36pm On Jun 15, 2015
People just come up with theories and postulations about Christianity. True, somethings are not expected in the church but saying sports n excursion are not allowed is the height of it. Well, I guessed there was no where in the Bible where it was stated that churches should have schools, or hospitals, so they shouldn't.
Many overnight pastors who just come with principles that lacked Logos and Rhema.

danjumakolo:
Don't twist the facts.
[/b][b][/b]Saraki his personal interest to override the parties interest.A platform that brot him to Senate.[b]

Buhari has all it takes to crush Saraki, yet he remained restrained, above politics, as a true leader. Saraki is nothing! He will crash the same way he rose up. Lets watch and see the many angles evolving. I want to believe that IBB is coniving with elements like Saraki, Ikweramadu, or what ever, with some remnants in PDP --- and that is their greatest undoing in the eyes of Nigerians. If you notice, Nigerians are generally not in support of Saraki's treachrey.
I dey laugh o. So u mean APC brought Saraki to senate. I'll advise you to do a background check on Abubakar Bukola Saraki. If he goes to NCP today and an election will hold in Kwara Cental tomorrow into the senate, he would still win. APC didn't make him. Instead he made APC in Kwara State. Check it bro.
PoliticsRe: NASS Clerk And Saraki Snubbed Buhari‘s Request – Garba Shehu by Coolcube: 8:02pm On Jun 10, 2015
If it's true that the president wanted the inauguration postponed because of APC caucus meeting, then I am highly disappointed in him and I am beginning to doubt him. Why must sectional interest override the national interest. The nation should come first not party affairs. The party was aware that the assembly was to be inaugurated on the 9th of June, why can't their peace meeting be earlier. Putting party sentiments ahead of national issues at this time shows lack of respect to Nigerians.

Anyway, I think Sheu is just trying to cover up for the part Buhari played in the emergence of Saraki.
PoliticsRe: Tinubu: I Won’t Recognise Saraki As Senate President, Unless... - Today.ng by Coolcube: 7:50pm On Jun 10, 2015
chocolatelady:
Having listen to all of u on the Bukola as Senate President, now u guys should listen and ponder on this :
A) Right from onset I wanted Saraki to be the Senate president becos I believe he has the charisma and all it takes to lead the Senate. But the manner in which he emerged is anti democractic, lets be honest with ourselves. How can u treat ur party in such a manner becos of selfish interest. Believe u me, I know that Tinubu is over bearing though I am not his fan but u must accord him some respect becos if not for him, PDP wouldnt have been defeated and Bukola will always be a floor member even if he wins a Senatorial position. How can u suffer and work tirelessly to get something like a whole president and someone from nowhere will come and mess it up becos of personal ambition.
B. I am not pained that Saraki emerge as the Senate President but my worry is his deputy. How on earth should he allow that to happen. PDP in their 16yrs of leadership has never given opposition such a post. This is incredible !Why didnt he tell PDP that he can only part with Senate Leader and not DSP. This action will continue to hurt him as he remained the SP.
C. How will the change come about now, now that the party that APC sacked is back to power? PDP was sacked becos of corruption and impunity. Buhari promised to address these but how can he do that with PDP still in power.
I am definitely not happy with this development but the deed has been done. But I must say that APC must do something about it otherwise who knows what will happen next.
Our politicians always have this attitude of let me do it , if the other person is not happy he or she can go to court becos our judiciary is in a mess.
D. How will Saraki endorse a bill without begging PDP to accept it. Remember that David Mark with his 'ayes' have it has the final say on any issue. He does not care whether opposition agrees or not.
E. If Saraki is strong and sure of winning, why didnt he wait for other members or go for the meeting with them and hope that luck smiles at him at the end of the day.
F. I must tell u that with this act from Saraki, he has indirectly used his own hands to end his political career becos what he did is a coup and history will not be fair to him. Though, for now he may. Think that he is very smart but this type of smartness has consequences which he will not like at all.
Finally, there is something called Law of Karma and it follows u wherever u go. If care is not taken , he will not last on that seat for six months but al the same, I wish him well.
Bro. Well said. But u don't know Bukola Saraki. In politics, he is well schooled. His political career can not be up because of this singular act. If u have forgotten, Tambuwa emerged as the Speaker of the House after going against the wishes of PDP, and going against his former political godfather. Needless to say that he became a governor today after defeating the same former political godfather who contested against him on the platform of PDP.
One thing about Bukky that you may not know is that, he wasn't made by Tinubu or Buhari. His father, a former Senate Leader, now of blessed memory made him, so no one has a bragging right over him. While Tinubu can boast of making several people, he can't do so on Saraki. Even when they were in opposing camps, Tinubu's camp has NEVER defeated Saraki's camp in Kwara Elections; even when Tinubu's camp used someone from a powerful family in Ilorin, Belogore Family. In essence, Saraki is a godfather in his own right and a godfather to himself. He has made people himself who bear allegiance to him as well. Today, he is the biggest weight in Kwara politics and gradually carving a niche for him self in North Cental. I lived in Kwara for so long, and I'm not a supporter of Saraki but I know he's strong. Part of why GEJ was made an acting President when Yar'adua was sick was because of Saraki's efforts as the Chairman of NGF, so the refusal of Tinubu to back him is nothing.
That apart, let's move into regional politics. If trouble arises, he can always align with the North. His father's allies are still alive and are active in politics. His father aligned more with the north and he would follow suit. Some like Adamu Ciroma is a crony to his father and would move to help him in the north if need be. If that happens, Tinubu will be left wandering. He can't align with the SE or SS coz they are predominantly PDP and would rather work with Saraki. Besides, the best position the North Cental has had over a decade is the presidency of the Senate and they will do anything to protect it. If they are to produce a future president in Nigeria, they must maintain a top position is government.

To me, I believe his emergence, though under a controversial circumstance, will give room for a vibrant senate. We need a senate president who can think for himself and not someone who will be a mere puppet for some people. If you observe the last NASS, some bills which were passed hurriedly by the Senate were thoroughly scrutinised by the House because Tambuwal stood his ground and wasn't under the control of anybody or stupid party agenda. Even when GEJ tried to go rough with him, people rose to defend him.
CareerRe: Shoul I Quit Banking To Pursue A Phd Elect Eng. by Coolcube: 2:09pm On Jun 08, 2015
2times:
I am compelled to respond to this by the spirit;owing to the fact that I was once in your shoes. I am a casual observer on NL,never posting,always watching but I trust that I'll make a difference in someone's life today.
I am a lecturer in one of the government universities but started out as a banker. I worked in 2 new generation banks and ended up in the biggest commercial bank in Nigeria;I was advised with my branch and resigned very shortly afterwards.
Foolish was what everyone called me. My salary was double yours,am in my early 30's,had it all going for me with awesome prospects. One thing was missing- fulfilment. I knew deep down that promotion and salary increases were not a motivation for me. I was born to do something specific-Impart knowledge,change lives. After passing through different phases;one of which you are passing now. I took the bull by the horn. I RESIGNED!.I was equipped with only a first degree and set out for my masters,convinced that someday,I'll stand before people to share my inspiring success story. What sustained me was the fact that I had found my place-It was better for me to perish on my way to fulfilling destiny than to prosper in the wrong place.(I won't perish anyway,because all your provision and protection is in the place of your calling).I eventually got a lecturing job with my first degree and am at the verge of concluding a second masters.
There were a lot of tough times but passion is a force that tough times submit to. My life is much better,trust me,I don't feel like am working at all. I look forward to going to class because its always an awesome session with my students. My exposure through banking makes my lecture different- so the students say. I have hope for the future,there are grants,scholarships,innumerable opportunities which I never knew existed in the academia. I am respected everywhere I go when they hear am a lecturer,I have had my students parents call me to appreciate me for impacting the wards life. I have had many students tell me I inspire them,changed their life etc. I have brought a number of students out of cultism and other social vices;I have a large followership of students who knows that I have demonstrated myself as a person of integrity-never collected bribe,never dated any student.
I believe that 'all men were born great but not all men decides to be'.I sure didn't want to be like my bank ogas who gave 20years to the job and retired into oblivion. There's a time to make the decision but there will not always be.
In banking,the older you become,the less valuable you become while in the academia,the older you become,the more valuable you become. May I not forget to add that am doing well financially too,better than the bank I believe-looking at my income-asset ratio.
I may have written too long a piece but brother-I am living my life and boy do I love it.
You don't know how much you've bossted my morale. I'm just about picking a PhD form this very week. I considered stopping for a while but your advise gave me a strong push. I've always wanted to end my life in a university environment, turned down a lucrative job offer because it would hamper my master's programme. I targeted a PhD at 28 and I'm still under 25 now, so I know it's achievable ny God's grace. Thanks bro. I would like to you better, outside NL. Thanks once more.

NAS is not a secret cult. I have read their constitution over and over again, and some of their literatures. As an undergraduate back them, my love for Wole Soyinka made me to seek means of joining but I was denied because I didn't have a NYSC discharge certificate. I am now a Master's degee holder but I have reconsidered my options as regard joining NAS because loving Soyinka does not necessarily mean be a member of NAS. If as a non-member who does not want to join, I can know what some members do not know, then they are not operating a secret organisation. I have attended series of their public lectures, the last being in 2012 @ the Conference Centre of UI, and many eminent personalities were their, including top military shots. The association levies members and donate to help some war-torn or disease ravaged areas of the world.
I will attach some pictures from the last NAS public lecture I attended.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Vacancies At Covenant University Construction Agency by Coolcube:
The fact that those questions were asked doesn't mean you must come from Winners. I know of some people who are not members of Winners and still got jobs with Covenant University and Landmark University. As for people saying it's wrong to ask for those things, it's a religious organisation and you don't expect them not to make that clear. If an applicant wants to apply to Fountain University for a job, you don't expect him or her to be of another faith, except he or she wants to convert.
Someone called 'Oyedepo' a fool...good for you. I can't vouch for him or any man, but if he serves a living God, his God will fight for him.
Most people feel being a pastor means you MUST be poor. But no one can ever serve a Living God and be poor. Some people called Adeboye names on a thread here yesterday, and same goes for many other pastors. One thing is, when those people were poor and were sacrificing the little they had, most people saw them as fools wasting their time and resources, but when God is blessing them, people complain and spread hate campaign against them. Well, Jesus himself suffered the same fate.
I know there are a lot of FAKE pastors out there who are only set out to make money, but God will judge them all...the function of judging everyone without bias belongs only to God.
