The interplay of social behavior and economics. This was no interplay but based wholly on social prejudice. You do not have the talent to match your ambition. When you're corrected take it on the chin like a good lad and lay down.

What socio-economic realities are you referencing? The clampdown on marijuana use in the US had its roots in racial prejudice. Black and Hispanics who, white people believed, were being morally and physically distorted by marijuana use. Look it up,

Britney Griners is serving 9 years jail term in Russia for being in possession of this substance.

I think it should be regulated by the government, otherwise people will abuse it.

But I believe biden took this decision after a painstaking consideration.

AndroBlaze:


You are shooting yourself in the foot with that argument; if they can Anglicise our words freely ( i.e. killing the meanings by pronouncing it wrongly) then every Nigerian should be allowed to Nigerianise (or Africanise) their words, which me and you agree we shouldn't do with bad pronunciations, unless backed up with meaingful history.

Instead of the English being lazy and calling him "Deli' (which means something entirely different in their language), they could easily be thought to pronounce it "Daylay" which at least would still give a semblance of the Yoruba meaning.

Anyway the research of Tsetse is freely available and my advice to you is before you put African words in your English lessons, you owe it to all of us as proud Africans to do research and just not repeat the "dictionary" pronunciation. Please see etymology.

But again, you did well overall, this is just advice to go deeper into what you teach.

The whole idea behind the word tweet is to be heard or reach out. Either by sound or a written short message. Don't forget the word tweet was already extant before the app twitter came into existence.

A very simple assignment, go to your dictionary and read up the meaning of twitting. Come back and tell me thank you.

Hatred can truly make you stupid without knowing it.

Around which time did this happen?
If late in the night no one even has to be a vigilante to question suspicious movements.
It's unfortunately the kind of times Buhari has turned Nigeria into.
They may have used it to extort your brother,but if you must be out late in the night,then you must safeguard yourself against such extortion by going along with means of identification and receipts of valuable items or at least verifiable proof of their ownership.

Efewestern:
Every ethnic group in the Delta have got some kind of unique and weird dance. Some months back, I made a thread about the power dance of the Urhobo people, today, we will be having a look at the fire dance of the Itsekiri people of Delta State.

The fire dance is a supernatural dance by the Ajagbugbu group that involves stepping and dancing on burning fire without getting burnt.

The dance is presented on special occasions, like the burial of an OLU or the crowning of a new king.

UGBE634:
I am not bothered about the other point but I wish to correct something. There is a group called Edo and that group is Bini. No group refers to theirselves as EDO when speaking their native tongue except Benin. There's nothing like Benin in Edo language, we call ourselves Iviedo and when we say that we are referring to Binis alone. likewise an Esan man will not call himself Oviedo but Oviesan. But if he is referring to the the Binis in his native language he will say Iviedo. and not Oviebini hence the term "Esangbedo". Bini is a Yoruba or itsekiri cum Colonial relic that stuck it makes no meaning in the language and to any Edo man. No Bini man will use it to refer to himself if not for easy identification so as not to confuse the Person he is communicating himself to.. infact No Bini use it except he is speaking English but same cannot be said of the Appelation of other tribes Esan, etsako, owan etc. Edo is used to refer to the city, the entire Bini speaking land, the people and the language. There is a language and a tribe called Edo and that is Benin. If you are familiar with the land, the city, language and the people you would know this. Other great Benins before me on this forum have written on this topic before, If you want me to search such threads out I can, PhysicsQed, Areafada2. Sincerely I am not alone, we all feel the same way.

I recently got admitted into a school in Montreal, to my surprise I found out they are in the French speaking region. I would appreciate if there’s anyone here who knows the region thanks. Will advise me how to carry on

Please, this should not be handled like a stroll under cool evening breeze.

We take too many things for granted in Nigeria.

This questions the quality of education Noun offers.

Fratermathy, could you also try to reach the founder of human rights radio and television through Berekete radio program.

In fact if you can do this and the ordinary president handles your case, you'll get more than a public apology immediately.

Fucktardgirl:

Aboki and isoko is a french speaking tribe abi. I have gone to a trad wed in that part of delta and those are even more Igbo than I thought. they speak igbo, eat igbo food, they have same trad attire, have four market days. they answer Ajereh, Enebeli, Okoro, Oliseh, Emeke, etc. In Enugu, you have Ejereh, Okoro, Olisa and Emeka. No need telling you all this. Jusw make out to visit that place and see for yourself.

We have a government that is no longer threatened by strikes and other industrial actions. Wage workers need to be creative in the way they make their demands. Strikes don't seem to be effective. In many cases, they can even be counterproductive. Maybe they should learn from the youths and start protesting and occupying government offices. Instead of this union to strike and stay at home, they could organise a football tournament or a one-month carnival in front of the National Assembly building. That would be more impactful and controversial. Controversy sells! If they organise a carnival and do it successfully for a week with good publicity, the government cannot ignore them. The interesting part is that since they'd be having fun in their sport or carnival protest, no sane government can afford to let that idea be replicated. Collective bargaining would be enhanced through the threats of protest carnivals, road shows, pageantry etc. With the people such shows would attract, the striking workers can even monetize them and further embarass the government by making money in front of their offices, and that would be a clear statement. At worst, they can cook food and sell in front of Aso Rock. The signposts would contain their demands, and they would certainly attract lots of people to buy their cheap food. It will all be part of the protest.

Ara2004:
A police character certificate is not necessary for Nigerians? Can you please elucidate on this please. Secondly, what if i don't have up to a million naira in my bank account ? Could that automatically be a reason for denial ? Thirdly, as regards the medicals, is it important to go for the medicals even before applying for the visa.

Ara2004:
Hello House. I was just notified that my application for Ph.D at the University of Toronto was accepted for fall 2021. They selected two international students and i was fortunate to be one. Its a fully funded Ph.D with teaching assistantship position. I await my acceptance letter. However, i have some concerns please. 1. I heard paper application for study permit is not active now, that i can only apply online. how true is this? 2. With a fully funded Ph.D, i think i should be exempted from submitting any bank statement for proof of funds?. Lastly, the police clearance certificate how can i please apply for this ? Thanks.

Mzflexydeeva:

Wow! I am so grateful for this. Please I don't mind suggestions for other schools as my only focus has been University of Manitoba

Mzflexydeeva:

Indeed you are right. So let me say I am more concerned about what it really takes. From all my research getting accepted by a professor is based on how well the professor thinks I may be of impact in his work.
So I am looking at a PhD in biochemistry, university of Manitoba.
It is clearly stated I have to be accepted by a processor before proceeding to fill the application form.
I want to know if I am able to get a supervisor is that a sure guarantee of getting admission and if yes does that mean the visa application is just a straight forward process. All the schools I am looking at do not require IELTS, would I be able to process visa even if I don't write IELTS
These are only. Few of my concerns.
