Madam typing full sentences on my andriod screen phone is hell especially for long stories thus prompt the need for shorthand. Thanks for your suggestion.

Sir...so basically the hairs on your back are standing up because I pointed out that your were using shorthand? Folks just need to work on their irritability levels mehn!!! Every little thing, they go on the defensive!!!

You can type in tinyhand if you want Dear.

Besides, having an android is not an excuse. I believe that majority of the 'longhand typing' citizens use android phones so definitely not an excuse you should boldly adopt. Anyways... Good luck!

bankybobo11:


I too! I'd have trodden the medical path if didn't loathe the smell and sight of blood. But hey, que sera sera!

Hi guys.. am hoping on going 4 d next batch "wateva month it falls" but I av a problem.am a "foreign" base student!
don't knw y am calling myself foreign sef since its jux Benin republic here.
we wea told 2 submit our information page of our Nigerian passport by skul 2 send our names 4 evaluation letter which i av done and was told d letter will be ready before d next batch.

d prob i av now is i av misplaced d Nigerian passport recently and I was told.we av 2 tender it at d camp

cant I jux go 2 camp with my sworn affidavit and police report of d lost passport , without d need of getting a new

pls quote me if u got anwers or solution abeg

Buhahaha...ok let me stop laughing.

Dude, why are you typing in short hand?! Urgh!!!

Anyways, why do you need to go to Abuja for a passport? Can't you sort it out locally?

The best thing will be to attend your local nysc secretariat and verify whether the affidavit will suffice.

Logically speaking, even if you get a new passport, it will not contain your study visa, exit and entry stamps which is what they want to see when they ask for your passport, so I doubt a new passport would make a difference.

heykims:
kudos for ur good job here. Abeg how do I evade youth service? I belong to d medical field nd hope if I delay d completion of my one year housemanship till I pass age 30; Nysc might consider me if I opt for an exemption from service. Is this going to work?

I don't know why you would delay when doctors are essentially Demi Gods both in camp and during their service years (a good ppa will pay you upwards of 100k)... If only I didn't hate the smell of blood...it is well!

tjmc:
please dark Chico I read of people here who already know their state of posting. I printed my green card and no such info was available.

Can someone help him pleaseee?

showki:
Thread has been reli helpful.. oshea..

Ramanto:
Please People, I Am Hoping To Serve Soon, But I Detest 'marching' With Passion. Infact, I Dont Knw Hw To March, It's Bn That Way With Me Right Frm Primary Sch Days. Is There Any Way I Can Evade It In Camp, And Hw Often Do We Have To March. Plz Mention Me While Responding

Everyone starts off with marching for the first few days...till after swearing in... and then break away into other groups. Just find a group that doesn't involve marching and you are good to go.

Jaytina:
Please, I'd really appreciate ur contributions here... if a female corp member gets married during d service year, will she be redeployed to her husband's state of residence?

Yes you can but you have to provide proof, affidavit, etc and then apply for redeployment. Good luck.

Klington:
pls am a batch B 2015 corp member
I serve in sokoto state but uptill now I have not received my December allowance. I ve done everything they asked me to do,yet they kept saying that the issue has been rectified n I will get my money soon..please any solution for me.

Lagos State new nysc state coordinator encorages corpers to tweet and text him directly with such issues...have you tried finding out if your state coordinator is accessible...or you can make friends with a CDs coordinator or your LGI and get them to look into it. The easiest way to get things in NYSC is to befriend people, especially officials. You NYSC life will become a whole lot easier. Try it...might work! Just bide your time. Goodluck

[quote author=Klington .

This is brilliant.

I have been looking to do a extra degree but currently undecided. With this I literally can gain basic knowledge on whatever area I want. It will really show me where my other/hidden interests lie.

Giving head in the dark...

Giving head before / without receiving head....

Not able to differentiate smell of Fanny with odour or blood from clean Fanny...

Tasting blood and not still able to notice bloody taste...

Not fin....gering to know the state of Fanny before giving head...

If you want to give head to a lady...dip your Diick into her Fanny and put it straight back into her mouth. If she can't taste her Fanny...then it's a No..head situation.

Always works for me.

Minister of Fanny Affairs

9jatatafo:

Yeah! 3 weeks is a short a time to give heading. The guy for use straw suck the blood na since he derives pleasure is sucking kpekus juice.

I was being sarcastic bro. Lmaao@ use straw. He was drunk sha....that s the only logical explanation.

Very rude man. ABusing his position and taking advantage of those boys' unfortunate plight. Couldn't even be bothered to invite them into the compound so he s definitely not serious about signing them. They are simply a morning comedy to he and his friends.... Mtechewwwww

jashar:
he said he wasn't drunk. Menstrual blood smells. No matter how neat a woman is, if she's unclad and menstruating when you get close to that region, you'll perceive the smell.

Menstral blood is just like any other blood leaving your body. It doesn't "smell" as you put it...coz I'm guessing you mean foul smelling..it just has that metallic blood thing going on. It starts smelling bad and foul when it hits the pad/tampon and stays there for a little longer than necessary.

However, This man should have known that the taste was "different" though. I guess the alcohol dulled his senses.

9jatatafo:
I am already vomiting after reading this post. WTF!! Why head a girl you barely know? You tasted bad blood.

Isn't 3 weeks a long enough time. Buhahaha...

Rollar:
I'm more interested in how a girl he met in church 3 weeks ago was soliciting for a blowjb and came to his house with weed and vodka. Everybody seems to have just glossed over this fact. Or is this the new trend among church girls?

Abi oooo.

thegreengooner:
This is Arik...I've flown on this aircraft before.

Whilst it is tacky, there is nothing wrong with putting a sign there...best thing to have done however would have been to remove the tray from behind the seat.

For most exit row seats, an in-seat tray is used and not the one at the back of the seat in front of you.

To be honest, taping it up like that comes with its own health and safety issues (especially if there aren't meant to be any trays on the exit seat). In case of emergency, the trays could come undone from the masking tape and cause more injuries and obstructions. Ridiculous if you ask me?!

RICHIEBOI1:
This is what i saw when i boarded an airline yesterday.. I wont mention the airline. What ever happened to safety standard.. Smh

That s obviously Arik Air. Their inflight magazine is very visible and a dead giveaway. Very weird airline. Smh

Arik has to be one of worse airlines out there as international airlines go. Horrible experience last time I flew with them. Urgh!

I fail to understand how you, as a man, can informatively tell the world what we dont know about women.

Hmmm...

He is a future abuser. Just let him have the phone and quietly excuse yourself from that relationship. I no fit shout!

Bookmarking.

I am really waiting to see the inputs on this one...

So this is apparently a graduate making fun of another graduate. Pot and Kettle springs to mind!

Jombojombo:
Pls house, I need pple around Gwagwalada, Abuja to help me with the list of nice PPA's within that vicinity. Schools inclusive.
Thanks!

It might be better to google the schools around that area. Very Easy! Or you can go on the Abuja thread. They might be of more help to you. Goodluck!

adakoleagbenu:
pls note o. If its Lagos,only the first 300 per stream posted to Lagos ministries are entitled.

Lagos state ministry no longer do "entitled" or not. They take very few people to avoid the whole (not paying some people as they were sued for doing that at some point in the past). They now have a quota which once filled, everyone else will be rejected. Everyone accepted gets paid!

True love lurks everywhere

JaneJoanJohn:
I'm sorry,I pretty much went through the thread, but don't know if I missed this... by virtue of working in a ministry, where you paid some sort of salary(apart from your normal allawee)

Yes, I was paid by the ministry in addition to the Federal Allowance

There are spelling rules in English, even if they are difficult to understand, so pronouncing a word correctly usually does help you spell it correctly. Here are the 100 most often mispronounced English words ("mispronunciation" among them). Several common errors are the result of rapid speech, so take your time speaking, correctly enunciating each word. Careful speech and avid reading are the best guides to correct spelling.

A
Don't say: acrossed | Do say: across

Comment: It is easy to confuse "across" with "crossed" but better to keep them separate.



Don't say: affidavid | Do say: affidavit

Comment: Even if your lawyer's name is ''David,'' he issues affidavits.



Don't say: Old-timer's disease | Do say: Alzheimer's disease

Comment: While it is a disease of old-timers, it is named for the German neurologist, Dr. Alois Alzheimer.



Don't say: Antartic | Do say: Antarctic

Comment: Just think of an arc of ants (an ant arc) and that should help you keep the [c] in the pronunciation of this word.



Don't say: Artic | Do say: Arctic

Comment: Another hard-to-see [c] but it is there.



Don't say: aks | Do say: ask

Comment: This mispronunciation has been around for so long (over 1,000 years) that linguist Mark Aronoff thinks we should cherish it as a part of our linguistic heritage. Most of us would give the axe to "aks."



Don't say: athelete, atheletic | Do say: athlete, athletic

Comment: Two syllables are enough for "athlete."

B
Don't say: barbituate | Do say: barbiturate

Comment: Don't forget this word contains three others: bar+bit+u+rate



Don't say: bob wire | Do say: barbed wire

Comment: No, this word wasn't named for anyone named ''Bob;'' it should be "barbed wire," although the suffix -ed, meaning ''having,'' is fading away in the U.S.



Don't say: bidness | Do say: business

Comment: The change of [s] to [d] before [n] is spreading throughout the US and when the unaccented [I] drops from this word the [s] finds itself in the same environment as in "isn't" and "wasn't."



Don't say: a blessing in the skies | Do say: a blessing in disguise

Comment: This phrase is no blessing if it comes from the skies. (Pronounce it correctly and help maintain the disguise.)

C
Don't say: Calvary | Do say: Cavalry

Comment: It isn't clear why we say, ''Mind your Ps and Qs'' when we have more difficulty keeping up with our Ls and Rs. Had there been a cavalry in Jesus' time, perhaps Calvary would not have been so tragic.



Don't say: cannidate | Do say: candidate

Comment: You aren't being canny to drop the [d] in this word. Remember, it is the same as "candy date." (This should help guys remember how to prepare for dates, too.)



Don't say: card shark | Do say: cardsharp

Comment: Cardsharps probably won't eat you alive, though they are adept at cutting your purse strings.



Don't say: carpool tunnel syndrome | Do say: carpal tunnel syndrome

Comment: This one is mispronounced (and misspelled) several different ways; we just picked the funniest. Carpal means ''pertaining to the wrist.''



Don't say: caucaphony | Do say: cacophony

Comment: There is no greater cacophony [kæ'kafêni] to the ears than to hear the vowels switched in the pronunciation of this word.



Don't say: The Caucases | Do say: The Caucasus

Comment: Although there are more than one mountain in this chain, their name is not a plural noun.



Don't say: chester drawers | Do say: chest of drawers

Comment: The drawers of Chester is a typical way of looking at these chests down South but it misses the point.



Don't say: chomp at the bit | Do say: champ at the bit

Comment: "Chomp" has probably replaced "champ" in the U.S. but we thought you might like to be reminded that the vowel should be [æ] not [o].



Don't say: close | Do say: clothes

Comment: The [th] is a very soft sound likely to be overlooked. Show your linguistic sensitivity and always pronounce it.



Don't say: coronet | Do say: cornet

Comment: Playing a crown (coronet) will make you about as popular as wearing a trumpet (cornet) on your head; reason enough to keep these two words straight.

D
Don't say: dialate | Do say: dilate

Comment: The [i] in this word is so long there is time for another vowel but don't succumb to the temptation.



Don't say: diptheria | Do say: diphtheria

Comment: The ''ph'' in this word is pronounced [f], not [p].



Don't say: doggy dog world | Do say: dog eat dog world

Comment: The world is even worse than you think if you think it merely a "doggy-dog world." Sorry to be the bearer of such bad news.



Don't say: drownd | Do say: drown

Comment: You add the [d] only to the past tense and past participle.

E
Don't say: elec'toral | Do say: e'lectoral

Comment: The accent is on the second, not the third, syllable and there is no [i] in it; not "electorial." (By the way, the same applies to "mayoral" and "pastoral."



Don't say: excape | Do say: escape

Comment: The good news is, if you say "excape," you've mastered the prefix ex- because its meaning does fit this word. The bad news is, you don't use this prefix on "escape."



Don't say: expresso | Do say: espresso

Comment: While I can't express my love for espresso enough, this word was borrowed from Italian well after the Latin prefix ex- had developed into es-.



Don't say: excetera | Do say: et cetera

Comment: Latin for "and" (et) "the rest" (cetera) are actually two words that probably should be written separately.



Don't say: expecially | Do say: especially

Comment: Things especial are usually not expected, so don't confuse these words.

F
Don't say: Febyuary | Do say: February

Comment: We don't like two syllables in succession with an [r] so some of us dump the first one in this word. Most dictionaries now accept the single [r] pronunciation but, if you have an agile tongue, you may want to shoot for the original.



Don't say: fedral | Do say: federal

Comment: Syncopation of an unaccented vowel is fairly common in rapid speech but in careful speech it should be avoided.



Don't say: fillum | Do say: film

Comment: We also do not like the combination [l] + [m]. One solution is to pronounce the [l] as [w] ("film" [fiwm}, "palm" [pawm]) but some prefer adding a vowel in this word.



Don't say: fisical | Do say: fiscal

Comment: In fact, we don't seem to like any consonants together. Here is another word, like athlete and film that is often forced to swallow an unwanted vowel.



Don't say: flounder | Do say: founder

Comment: As verbs, both words have similar meanings with "flounder" meaning to make a lot of errors or to have trouble moving; however, to "founder" is to totally fail.



Don't say: foilage | Do say: foliage

Comment: Here is another case of metathesis, place-switching of sounds. Remember, the [i] comes after the [l], as in related "folio."



Don't say: For all intensive purposes | Do say: For all intents and purposes

Comment: The younger generation is mispronouncing this phrase so intensively that it has become popular both as a mispronunciation and misspelling.



Don't say: forte | Do say: fort

Comment: The word is spelled "forte" but the [e] is pronounced only when speaking of music, as a "forte passage." The words for a strong point and a stronghold are pronounced the same: [fort].

H
Don't say: Heineken remover | Do say: Heimlich maneuver (or manoeuvre, Br.)

Comment: This term is mispronounced many different ways. This is just the funniest one we have heard. This maneuver (manoeuvre) was named for U.S. surgeon Henry Jay Heimlich (1920- ).



Don't say: heighth | Do say: height

Comment: The analogy with "width" misleads many of us in the pronunciation of this word because we try to end the word with the "th" sound. The initial [h] and the final [t] is always pronounced.



Don't say: hi-archy | Do say: hierarchy

Comment: Remember, hierarchies go higher than you might think. This one is pronounced "higher archy" and not "high archy."

I
Don't say: in parenthesis | Do say: in parentheses

Comment: No one can enclose an expression in one parenthesis; at least two parentheses are required.



Don't say: interpretate | Do say: interpret

Comment: This error results from the back-formation of "interpretate" from "interpretation." But back formation isn't needed; we already have "interpret."



Don't say: irregardless | Do say: regardless

Comment: "-Less" already says ''without'' so there is no need to repeat the same sentiment with "ir-."

J
Don't say: jewlery | Do say: jewelry

Comment: The root of this word is "jewel" and that doesn't change for either "jeweler" or "jewelry." The British add a syllable: "jewellery"



Don't say: jist nor dis | Do say: just

Comment: As opposed to the adjective "just," this word is always unaccented, which encourages vowel reduction. However, it sounds better to reduce the [ê] rather than replace it with [i].

K
Don't say: Klu Klux Klan | Do say: Ku Klux Klan

Comment: Well, there is an [l] in the other two, why not the first? Well, that is just the way it is; don't expect rationality from this organization.

L
Don't say: lambast | Do say: lambaste

Comment: Better to lambaste the lamb than to baste him remember, the words rhyme. "Bast" has nothing to do with it.



Don't say: Larnyx | Do say: larynx

Comment: More metathesis. Here the [n] and [y] switch places. Mind your [n]s and [y]s as you mind your [p]s and [q]s.



Don't say: Laura Norder | Do say: law and order

Comment: The sound [aw] picks up an [r] in some dialects (also "sawr" and "gnawr". Avoid it and keep Laura Norder in her place.



Don't say: leash | Do say: lease

Comment: Southern Americans are particularly liable to confuse these two distinct words but the confusion occurs elsewhere. Look out for it.



Don't say: libel | Do say: liable

Comment: You are liable for the damages if you are successfully sued for libel. But don't confuse these discrete words.



Don't say: libary | Do say: library

Comment: As mentioned before, English speakers dislike two [r]s in the same word. However, we have to buck up and pronounce them all.



Don't say: long-lived | Do say: long-lived

Comment: This compound is not derived from ''to live longly'' (you can't say that) but from ''having a long life'' and should be pronounced accordingly. The plural stem, live(s), is always used: "short-lived," "many-lived," "triple-lived."

ThNn youuu...I definitely need patient people like you to help me out...otherwise I would have just stopped at page one.

adakoleagbenu:
ahh! A Huge Amen to that. Well,the job is mostly done by darkchocolate though.(Shallat to you dc). I just try to "ease" her "workload". Well,one thing I can say is that NYSC does not need your admission letter,also they don't need your course of study from JAMB as they can readily obtain your course of study when you institution submits it to them. What NYSC needs is a VALID Jamb no. They crosscheck it with Jamb database to obtain your full Names,Age/date of birth and State Of Origin. From what you wrote,it means you wrote and passed JAMB right? If yes,when you were registering,you supplied the details like name,state,dob, etc. So they are in JAMB database already. This is what NYSC obtains. I'm trying to explain because so many prospective corps members are making JAMB richer by the second. I'm a batch B corps member serving in Lagos and my admission status also reads "no admission yet". I couldn't even check my result,and yet I had no issues with JAMB number. Its mainly those who paid through their schools and didn't update their JAMB status that usually have Jamb no issues. I'm not advising you to forget about regularization. Just do it to be on the safer side. Or take the risk like me!
