Tompolo through the amnesty program is today a legit internationally known security consultant. It's not in his overall best interest to be associated with the Avengers who are currently making their bones just as tompolo prior the amnesty deal.

I see some interests desperately trying to rope Tompolo into this mess to negate all the legit international success tompolo made under the last regime.

One strategic mistake buhari advisors did was brazenly going after tompolo and creating a huge power vacuum which the avengers are milking perfectly.

If there be any diplomacy in buhari, he should as a matter of urgency make contact with government Tompolo cos that gentleman is key in solving this delta issue.

We Igbos are in support of Tompolo and the Niger Delta Militant. Once the Niger Delta Militants finish blowin up all the Oil installations in the Niger Delta, we encourage them to also come and help us blow up the South East too.
We Igbos love Tompolo. Tompolo is greater than Ojukwu

We Igbos love Tompolo. Tompolo is greater than all Igbo men dead or living. Tompolo is greater than Ojukwu

doyinisaac:
Must everything be buhari??very soon you will blame buhari for the reason why your mouth is smelling... the way you mention buhari in every discussion makes it look as if you reach orgasm whenever you call his name..

Meddical Student is a clear and specific description, everybody knows what a medical student is.

Ok. Bro, take a closer look at the few ones I mentioned and see if they are not out of place. Though, they are hilarious to an extent

Dan42:
English hard o... But, it's not by force to speak English. If e too hard you speak pidgin.

olafum1:
Op. What is the problem with 7 *something is smelling*?

seanwilliam:
1,2,4,7 and 10 r correct but NOT in general english. btw it's laughable wen graduates can't express themselve englishically(lols). wat cause dis r some parried factors-family background, environment, peer group- whch later bounce back on the their spoken english

Rapmoney:
True

I know even educated people commit grammatical blunders sometimes but there are grammatical blunders that are just so outrageous and shameful at the same time, when they come right out of the mouths of supposed 'graduates' from tertiary institutions!

If you have been guilty of the following as regard spoken English, then you have clearly moved from being a 'Half-baked' graduate to a 'Quarter-baked' graduate!!!

1) 'You are smarting'...I heard a guy at a plaza who claimed to be a graduate saying this! Gush! Being smart is very different from being fast or slick. By the way, there's no verb such as 'smarting' in English language which means the same thing as what this young man was trying to say!

2) 'You are showing yourself'...just like the one above, how can someone be 'showing' himself/herself? So human being don turn movie? Na wa o!

3) 'Oya, come and go'...two opposite verbs. You are telling the person to come and at the same time, to go! Again, what's the meaning of 'Oya'?

4) 'My body is scratching me'...your body can only itch you and not scratch. You scratch when you use your fingers to stroke a surface roughly! Lol!

5) 'My phone is 'more' better than yours...this sentence can surely make you appear a 'quarter-bakie' You can't use two comparative adjectives in a sentence! We have good, better, best. When you compare two things, the middle one which is 'better' should be used so there's no need for 'more' which is also a comparative adjective but goes with 'than'. As in 'more than'

6) 'Did she went to the market'?...as absurd as this sentence is, I have seen many 'graduates' saying it! Two verbs with past tense form in the same sentence?

7) 'Ola, something is smelling. Can you hear it...ehen!!! 'HEAR'? English!!!

8. 'People has' or 'she have'...'has' is a singular auxiliary verb that goes with a singular subject while 'have' is a plural auxiliary verb that goes with a plural subject.

9) 'They takes people for granted'...this one is common on NL. A plural subject does not go with a singular verb and vice versa. 'Take' is plural and 'takes' is singular which goes with a singular subject as well. Take note of 'They' being a plural subject.

10) 'I am looking for Funmilayo'...you can't be looking for someone. Instead, say 'I am asking of Funmilayo'. You can only look for what is lost! It happens regularly when people go to check on others. We can only start looking for Funmilayo if she is declared missing!

I hope these help! We are all learning. It is only a foolish man that takes offence when he is corrected!

Good day!!!

You can add yours!

SerialGist:
Same way i withdrew from one last week. Thank God i spent only N700 on her...TP=N500 and one bottle of malt=N200 totalling N700. From the look of things, i just knew i was going to be held responsible for someone's expenses in life and as a smart dude, i backed off with the 'speed of light'. Guys don wise up abeg.

bethyz:
I really don't no how to start. My spouse and I decided to fix our wedding this year. Happily I have been expecting that wonderful day. Then we decided to ask for the list.
Hmmm. Before this list came everyone say cool down it won't be that much . Igbo's have change. I believed it. I got to see the list today. As I was looking at it , I was just shouting Jesus! Jesus !Jesus!. I taught it was only me oo. I called my guy he was shouting Jesus! Jesus !Jesus! too. So I asked him why are you shouting Jesus are you looking at the list. He said yes Jesus. Abeg I will call you latter. Am confused now. If I upload the paper I guess you all will shout Jesus. They even put cream their. THIS PEOPLE ARE MAD! HELP ME BEG ABIA PEOPLE OO ECONOMY IS BAD FOR SUCH A LIST.

Did they invade the area like they did in Enugu?

Ishilove:
This is serious. Unto cow, kwa??

Let them come to Delta state and see Kwale people in action. Their cows will be the first set of casualties.

Seriously though, I forsee this issue becoming the catalyst for renewed calls for national disintegration
