EducationShocking:english Words You Didn't Know Were Borrowed From Other Languages. by Esdb(op): 8:50pm On Dec 12, 2014
The english language is filled of borrowed words from other languages. Some have been so long part of the language since the Norman Conquest, that they are no longer thought of as being foreign words. The process however goes on, and recent borrowings include glasnost and perestroika from russian. Below are languages, and words borrowed from them.

Why will I send my wife and his brothers to beg him to stop? I will talk to him directly myself, that's what every responsible father would do.
If my stubborn son still come to me for money after disobeying me... I will understand that he is really confused. Rightly he is not supposed to be courageous to come begging me knowing I am angry with him. So for him to come to me... Its either he does not know I am angry with him or he does not understand me or he is plain stupid. Either way, I will bring him closer and make him understand instead of giving him a death sentence.
And you sent your wife and his brothers because you were in another country. And please who in the world will give his son a death sentence. Be realistic jare

good. See what God faces? We offend him, go against his will throw dirt in his face yet we go to church on sunday, yet he let's his breath stay in us, yet we ask him for that job opportunity, yet we expect him to guide and keep us safe. He doesn't hold all these against us he still calls us to come to him because he knows that the devil at the end of the day will not let us go to heaven because he has already said no sinner will go unpunished..

Ha ha! You are wicked self! Someone who sent his only son to die for our sins?? Ha ha! Imagine your father asking you to abandon your life and go to a remote place to teach them math and on getting their and spending a year with them an exam is given them and they don't even touch the script. How the f...uck will you feel.

PhonesRe: My Experience With 112 Emergency Number. by Esdb(m): 2:34pm On Dec 10, 2014
happydays1:
We make so much criticism about our goverment, but fail to look at brighter sides where things are working, but were formally moriburn. Last weekend, while relaxing in my flat, I suddenly heard people screaming, "fire! fire! fire". I looked out of my window I saw fire gushing out of a two storey's roof. Trust lagos boys na, they started fetching water to quench the fire, but they complain that the particular flat was electric shocking. I reach out to my phone and dialed 112 emergency number, in secounds a lady picked up the call, i gave her my story, fire! she collected my details; name, address, i gave her. she now asked of the address of the resident on fire, I gave her. Would you believe in about 15 minutes fire fighters arrived with their siren blasting, and assisted in quenching the already spreading fire. I was like wow! in this country?
Nigerians have suffered so much mild suffering seems like luxury to them. In 15 minutes do you know the things that could have been burnt. In America 5minutes is the response time infact some times earlier than that so what the Bleep are you saying!!!

Oga, your God does not love the sinners he sends to hell. The opportunity to repent is afforded both in Islam and in Christianity. A person who dies in a sinful state is punished in both religions. Stop lying for your God.
Brother on the thinking thing if you thought it out you would know that while on earth allah approves the killing of none muslim people and enforces treating them like as outcasts. But Jesus on the other hand treats both non christians and christians as one while on earth but on getting to heaven 'burn it up' is the song that's played for them.

EducationExplanation To The 'cousin' Thread. by Esdb(op):
What is a First Cousin, Twice Removed?


If someone walked up to you and said "Howdy, I'm your third cousin, twice removed," would you have any idea what they meant?
Most people have a good understanding of basic relationship words such as "mother," "father," "aunt," "uncle," "brother," and "sister." But what about the relationship terms that we don't use in everyday speech? Terms like "second cousin" and "first cousin, once removed"? We don't tend to speak about our relationships in such exact terms ("cousin" seems good enough when you are introducing one person to another), so most of us aren't familiar with what these words mean.

Relationship Terms
Sometimes, especially when working on your family history, it's handy to know how to describe your family relationships more exactly. The definitions below should help you out.
Cousin (a.k.a "first cousin"wink
Your first cousins are the people in your family who have two of the same grandparents as you. In other words, they are the children of your aunts and uncles.
Second Cousin
Your second cousins are the people in your family who have the same great-grandparents as you., but not the same grandparents.
Third, Fourth, and Fifth Cousins
Your third cousins have the same great-great-grandparents, fourth cousins have the same great-great-great-grandparents, and so on.

Removed

When the word "removed" is used to describe a relationship, it indicates that the two people are from different generations. You and your first cousins are in the same generation (two generations younger than your grandparents), so the word "removed" is not used to describe your relationship.
The words "once removed" mean that there is a difference of one generation. For example, your mother's first cousin is your first cousin, once removed. This is because your mother's first cousin is one generation younger than your grandparents and you are two generations younger than your grandparents. This one-generation difference equals "once removed."

Twice removed means that there is a two-generation difference. You are two generations younger than a first cousin of your grandmother, so you and your grandmother's first cousin are first cousins, twice removed.

EducationWhat You Don't Know About The Word 'COUSIN' by Esdb(op):
I was taken aback when I saw this too.
And this can cause confusion so read fastidiously.

The children of brothers and sisters are First cousins to each other.

The children of first cousins are second cousins to each other. The child of one's first cousin and the first cousin[/b]of one's parents is one's [b]first cousin first removed.

The grand child of one's first cousin or the first cousin of one's grand child is one's second cousin twice removed .

Phew! The top of my head hurts from trying to know what that means. I got lost at the first removed part whoevver understands pls do explain.

Torh... I read this and it explained a bit to me what all that means... Hope it does to you too.
