What do u mean by how to go about it since u work in a shipping company even load down Job. It shouldnt be difficult. Check the B/LS that the consignee gave to u. check properly cause it carries the port of discharge, loading n destination just make sure it the USA(Point of discharge) . ALSO make sure the BL carries the description of cars u must have told the VO . u could also take along supporting doc like invoice and packing list or a copy of inspection act and exit of the set of BL as prove.

CelebritiesLessons From Olajumoke (the Bread Seller Turned Model )story by evaly(op): 2:26pm On Feb 12, 2016
DO NOT STAY AT HOME



1.Unless you could work from home like Linda Ikeji, you have to get out and get busy doing something because Ty Bello would not have walked into her room


.2.Looking Good is good business, From the little you earn, you can get good clothes and dress nice. That guy was stylishly looking at the pretty well dressed lady and not the bread.


3.Get out of your comfort zone, I heard she even left her village for Lagos to hustle hard. You might have to leave your parent's house to hustle if you have to.


4.You can start small and ugly, She started from the bottom now she is here. Jumoke the bread seller now a model .can you beat that!


5.Believe, Believe in God and believe in yourself and know that one day your hustling will pay big and suffering will end.



6.Take that Job, Sometimes we feel we are too good for a job but, if you have no other option, take it. It might not pay well but, it could be the link between you and your helper.



7.The race is not to the swift, Don't think you can't get something big because you are disadvantaged. Not even English language nor poverty could stop God's plan in a olajumoke's life.



8.Stop worrying about how long you have suffered. Married with kids at 27years, selling bread but she was not frowning or crying in the picture.


9..Do not be shy, always be confident, Some folks would have takento their heels at the sight of the camera but she walk in like she was part of the team. at least na govt get the road10.In helping others, you bring to yourself, Many might not have heard about TY Bello and her works but everywhere Jumoke’s name is been mentioned today, TY Bello's name will definitely be mentioned too.

LiteratureMystery by evaly(op): 11:47pm On Mar 20, 2015
As a child, I became very close to my friend Benita. We would eat together, and play . Every Day We Exchange dinner Since our houses Lay Adjacent each other. we got admission into a federal university the same year.
Benita was more intelligent and preferred to study Medicine while I choose mass communication. never the less, our friendship became a hard nut to crack noting could come between us.
I graduated before my friend, went for nation youth service. yet we kept a close contact.
the day I returned from Taraba State were I serviced was just a sad day but the very day my spirit became broken.
I knocked on the door to my friends room. I only met the house help who told me she was asleep. I knocked again and again but she gave no response. then I sent message on her bb, whatsapp and wechat still there was no answer. I had called her three days before then, hoping she would be happy I was finally coming home.
the tone in her voice got me worried. now again, her attitude was sending off.
after about an hour when I refuse to leave, she finally opened the door.
I was about to raise voice when I saw a pop out face with tears dropping down her face.
I was worried ' why would a beautiful girl with a loving rich parent be in deep tears' I thought holding her feeble hand.

'i am dying' she finally said . I have few months left. I rush into tears when my hairy friend showed me the hairs on her head. they have totally gone off.


she is having cancer of the brain. Doctor says only chemotherapy is left but she will still die


I have been in pain ever since. we both had dreams but it may not come true now.

please help me my friend is dying. what can we do.

it amazes me why ppl feels that pastors are not to be rich. at mention of rich pators pp raises tongues. but non of diz pastors is as rich as Solomon in his day. Asides diz God promised to convert d riches of d Gentile to us. These men gave their time to God n God chooses to bless them.
d only Reason why lots of pp r poor is because they are mentally poor.

when you listen to some ladies , they go thus: "i dnt knw how to speak yoruba fluently. people even tell my I speak english like i dnt knw yoruba at all."


I knw diz cuz I'm a Yoruba lady


but what do u hear from such ladies.




i am coming
they are calling u
like play like play
warn yourself
the time is flying
l like your hand witing
stand up
my credit has finish
my phone/battery is dead
you cant eat your cake and have it

e.t.c


ask those girls to diffrenciate between

'compound and com'pound
'project and pro'ject

make a clear statement both in rising tone and falling tone

pronounce pho'tographer then they miss to knw dat ph is a labio- dental sound/f/

if we really want to speak fluently we must understand d basic rules in our mother tongue n english as well

we cant and never speak like a native english man or woman

if u want to get close then u must do d following

never depend on written english as a guide

dnt decieve urself by speaking though d nose in a low voice
get a pronouncing dictionary and learn how to use it effectively

be more conscious of your area of mother tongue interference


study the segmental phonology( all vowel and consonant sounds) suprasegmental phonology( stress rhyme and intonation)

english language is an intonational language so, we must knw d many sounds in english is completely absent in nigerian langs

following d basic rules in concord also helps

ALSO NOTE THAT

wrong placement of stress on syllables change d meaning of a sentence

it takes a long process.
practice hard if u truly want to get close
LiteratureRe: English Grammar by evaly(op): 2:51pm On Nov 08, 2013
its is important to know that the ability to speak or write meaningful sentence involves many processes

A Sentence like

Neither Tola nor her sisters love the man
Neither her sisters nor Tola loves the man

take note that when neither or either joins two singular noun together, the verb to be used is determined by the subject closer to the verb

neiher my friend nor her brothers are here BUT

neither her brothers nor my friend is here

ALSO


All INDEFINATE PRONOUN takes a singular verb
like everybody, everything, anybody nobody e.t.c


when ALL is used in a sentence, it either means Everything or all the people


when ALL means all the people plural verb is used

ALL are waiting to see the President


but ALL is well( everything is well)

Never say; I'm comng when you are actually going

instead you may say; I will be with you in a moment Or

I will be right back

Never say; she/he is my tight friend the phase is my close or bosom friend

if your stomach is crammed with food,

never say I'm belly full

say

I am stuffed or I feel stuffed

remember the pronunciation for stuffed is STUFT cuz f is a voicless sound which comes before 'ed'
LiteratureRe: English Grammar by evaly(op): 11:27am On Nov 07, 2013
STILL ON CONCORD


When two or more singular subject refer to the same person( when a person occupies one postion) they take singular subject


The President and Chancellor attends the Convocation
The President is the same person as the Chancellor

The President and The Chancellor attend the convocation
two different people

My sister and Barrister is here to see you

when a determiner( a word before a noun or pronoun that gives more information eg article) comes before the two subjects, then we are talking about two people


My sister and my lawyer are here to see you
My sister and the lawyer are here to see you

Acronyms and Abbreviation

The two words above are not the same

Acronyms are words formation process. They are formed from the inital letter or syllables of words and can be pronounced as words

eg ECOWAS- Economic Community of West Africa State
UNESCO- United Nations Educational, Science and Cultural Organization
others are: NITEL, NEPA, NATO e.t.c

Abbreviation are formed likewise but are pronounced as sequence of letter

O.A.U
E.F.C.C
A.T.M
F.B.I
LiteratureRe: English Grammar by evaly(op): 9:51pm On Nov 06, 2013
simple rules of concord and verb

I love rice

He loves rice

They love


The rule of concord says a singular subject( person or thing performing an acion) follows a singualr verb while a plural subject takes a plural verb

in the first sentence, I (the first person personal pronoun) takes a plural verb cause the rule of concord allows it.

in other case all singular subject should take a singular verb

she adores her husband but I adore my husband

they adore their husbands


note that unlike noun which forms a plural marker by adding s, ies, es.

verb forms its plural without an 'S' and its singular with s, es...


has is singular while have is plural

she has a big house

we have a big house

LiteratureEnglish Grammar by evaly(op):
ave you ever listened to Nigerian women when they speak? You would certainly think they have their noise blocked. The purpose of speaking is communication.
No matter how far you speak through your noise, you will not get there expect you master the rules involved.
We all must understand the fact that English language is our second language and having originally adapted to our mother tongue and the environment we dwell in, we will still be far from it. It happens all over the world expect with the English people.
No English man will make mockery of your English as long as you can communicate with him effectively( THEY get your message)

We all make tons of mistakes both in spoken; phonology and grammar; these reflect in the written aspect.

Lesson 1

The regular verb ending in ed has a simple rule in pronouncing it. It is produced depending on whether the last letter in the root word is voiceless, voiced or alveolar plosive.


1 if the sound that comes before the past tense marker- ‘ed’ is /t/ or /d/ it should be pronounced as id as in want – id, lift- id, start- id etc



2 if the sound that comes before the ‘ed’ is a voiced consonant (sound produced with a vibration in the vocal cord) the ed is pronounced as d. e.g. begged, prayed. Etc

3 If the sound that comes before the past tense marker is a voiceless consonant sound then, the ‘ed’ is pronounced as / t/ e.g. slapped – slpæt or passed.


Do not replace its with it’s

‘Its’ means it belongs to it

Oh! The dog hurt its leg
It’s my book- it is my book
