Looks balanced to me

kokoA:
Nigeria Army don suffer.. Imagine a private citizen claiming he could have deployed soldiers to protect his private business if he wished

This is exactly what they have reduced our military to.
I thought Mr President is the only C-in-C of our armed forces?
What is really going on in Nigeria for God’s sake?

Angelacruz:
I can't stop crying.I did noting wrong

...forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespassed against us.

Every Christian have made this prayer at least once in their lifetime but we NEVER applied it.
It breaks my heart.

Not that I condone what your ‘ex’boyfriend did, but is that it? 2 years of investment just gone like that?
He made a mistake yes, but is that all it takes to call it quits?

Like someone earlier said, re-evaluate yourself before entering another relationship. No one, and I mean No one is perfect. IF the guy has been kind to you and is remorseful of what he did, please take him back.

We are all with one weakness or the other. If we keep walking away whenever we discover our significant other’s weaknesses, we may not be in any relationship at all.
My humble submission

This isn't fight or blind argument, I've been posting vids from white people who're the owner of English language, all you do is make claims and get angry. I told you to get a vocal dictionary like Encarta dictionary with is done by a white person. Perhaps you post vids/audios of what you talking about so i can help you find where the fault is. So far, i've been posting white people's vids, you didn't produce anything to prove yourself, all you do is get angry.

Hian eh!
See me see wahala o!
Oya you are right. I am wrong. There’s no sound in H. Any word you see an ‘h’ in it, treat it like the P in Psychology.

How you post videos that you hear audibly the ‘h’ and claim that it doesn’t exist beats me.

So please, you are right and I am wrong.
But while at it, do some research on ‘elocution’.

Thank you and do have a nice day.
This is my last response to you on this topic.

Gratefulheart1:
Listen to that and tell me what you hear.
Whenever someone pronounces something wrong, before you start forming a phonetic teacher, try to know which exact vowel alphabet in the word the fault is, so as not to end up confused. 'H' has no sound i already told you, it's just a vocal energy and reverberation.
With the fact that this YouTube vid is done by a British and white person and their pronunciations far different from ours, all you can still literally hear is 'ell'
If you have Encarta dictionary, separately type 'ell' and 'hell' words and listen how they sound the same.
Most of you don't know how words beginning with 'h' should sound but you're quick to jump online forming phonetic teachers.

Ogbeni, I can’t join issues with you.
Please, enjoy your pronunciation anyhow you deem it fit.
Good day.

Gratefulheart1:
I already posted two videos from YouTube. 'H' isn't a sound, it only adds energy and reverberation to the vowel after it. So it's not heard eventually but the vowel after it has more vocal energy. Except for people who pronounce words too shabbily, most 'h' words are not fundamental or noticeable blunders.

Be that as it may, whether it’s a sound or not, it is not silent when pronouncing House, Hello, How or Hell.

It doesn’t make sense saying, “I came to your ouse yesterday” or “ell is a bad place to be”.

Gratefulheart1:
Most of you people still don't know the pronunciation of the 'h' sound. Check a dictionary with speaker.
One of thing Yorubas might pronounce wrongly is 'air' to sound like 'ear', 'shoe' to sound like 'soe' etc but when it comes to 'h' words it seems most of you don't even know how words beginning with 'h' should sound. Use the standard American or British intonation to judge and not the way you pronounce it in your local intonation.

Not to antagonize anyone but there are actually very few words where the ‘h’ is silent.
Not every word in English that starts with ‘h’ that the ‘h’ is silent.
‘H’ is very audible in words like Hope, House, How amongst other words that starts with ‘h’ while it is silent is Honest and Honor and a few others.

What evidence do they have against him?
It could be anyone.

You them flexing muscles and forming very active when it’s very trivial issues.

Our president could have averted this but his advisers will never tell him the truth.
He should keep on cowering in Aso Rock instead of addressing his people.

What am I even saying sef, it’s what they want so they can have a reason to maintain the status quo.

They should just divide the country already

Op, if this letter is the reason why you said we should end the protests, then I must tell you I am disappointed.
We are not protesting because we saw it happen in another country.
If I may ask, what is even the meaning of protest in the first instance.
You berated the youths for not acting early enough and also berating them for finally acting!!!
Please make up your mind what you actually want from us.
It has been proven time and time again that written protests doesn’t work for Nigerian governments hence why you see us on the streets today.
Mind you, this is not the first time Nigerians have hit the streets. Please check your history for references.
I am most proud about this particular protest because we have been able to conduct ourselves in a civil manner and our demands are clear.
It may not be all encompassing for all but #endsars #endpolicebrutality is just the beginning.
We will be amending our demands as they are being met as we progress.
We will be here for the long haul!
We must liberate our nation from our oppressors.
Join this noble cause as I can see that we all mean well for our nation howbeit we are employing different tactics.
God bless you and God bless Nigeria.

IamPlato:
Are you fvcking kidding me? For years I have been talking,

I wrote an open letter to the Nigerian youths just yesterday, check my profile.


I posted on Instagram, no one is listening, why? Because I ain't no celebrity.


The youths are free to do what they want but I will always have the bitter tongue of truth, hate it or love it I don't really care

Uncle, thank you for doing your part but allow us to do our part as well.
At least you can see that our method is generating more traction than your open letter.
The best part of it is that it is free of violence from our part.
So please, don’t try to water down what we are doing just because it is not your idea.
Thank you and remain blessed

IamPlato:
if you are doing that then why disturb the average nigerians?

like as i will always say, this is not the solution. you can win the government and still keep your life but not this way

Please sir, by all means, propose a better way.
We’d gladly follow

IamPlato:
they should go and block the roads to president house and house of rep not the road for average people. take the fight to the government not the innocent lives trying to survive

They are currently doing that.
Stop acting ignorant of what has been happening.

Op, it is called protest for a reason.
Mind you, the public is well aware of what is happening.
We can’t continue with this status quo

Chai!
Money is good o!
E go di nma but a good name and peace of mind is far better that money!

This is the reason why I let myself go and cried like baby when I got the news of my father’s demise.
Believe me, crying helps to relieve the pain.
Also, just like someone said, try to occupy yourself with other activities, with time you will regain yourself. Time heals all wounds.
Take heart my brother

Congratulations Mr Governor.
Please serve your people (Ondo people well).
Use your second tenure well in alleviating the sufferings of your people.
God bless Nigeria

It came to anoint him

Cheat2Win:
Insecurity should be tackled before thinking of seaports. Do you see pirates or militants in Lagos? that's because the coastal areas are not deserted . It's a fact that economy can not thrive with insecurity. The sea piracy ,kidnapping etc. are responsible for economic downturn in Calabar and Akwa ibom coastal areas, especially the seafood and tourism industry. It's one of the reasons Tinapa is struggling . And that mess is spilling into the city with weapons flying around everywhere especially from war torn Cameroon. Who wants to travel or do business in a volatile place?
Akwa ibom and Cross river government need to collaborate to curb insecurity. there's no police station, customs ,checkpoint, watchtower, or border demarcation in the entire Akpabuyo and bakassi local government which shares direct border with Cameroon. There's navy base in Calabar municipality, the customs office is at Oron which does not even have direct border with Cameroon is likely understaffed. There need to be security presence and most of those creeks need to be sand filled because they are easy hide out . it's so easy for these criminals to move freely within cross river,akwa ibom and even Cameroon. why can't the foolish governments of Cross river and Akwa ibom look into this critical issue ,instead of white elephant projects .

My brother, all these security agencies you mentioned, which of them is controlled by state governments? All of them from Customs to boys scout is controlled by the FG.
This is where regional and state policing need to come in.
The FG has too much on its hands. They need to shelve most of these responsibilities to the state governments.

Nobody should call me for any protests again!!!
Let this politicians, police, BH cum bandits deal with us however they please!!!

We deserve what we brought on ourselves

At this rate, na relegation Man U dey go so o!

I opened this thread to see a fashion statement but alas...

This thread would have been burning now had it been this happened under GEJ’s administration. But here we are romancing and trivializing the SECOND attack on this man.
And you tell me that no LGA in the North East is under BH?
Why have we chosen to be stupid because of our religious and political leanings?
Mr President and his security chiefs have failed us repeatedly! Let’s not wish this away because we have not witnessed this firsthand.
My heart bleeds for all these lives lost. Imagine not being able to travel to your community because of insecurity, will you be here praising the president?
He has failed in this aspect!!! Failed failed failed failed!!!!

seunmsg:
He should go ahead and file his case before time runs out. No matter how free and transparent an election is, PDP will still go to court to challenge it if they are on the losing side. APC should stop trying to play fair against a ruthless opposition that doesn’t understand fairness in any contest.

The way you people lie just to make cheap points shocks the devil himself.
When PDP lost the presidency in 2015, did they challenge it in court?
Have some conscience na!!

Why should we take this statement serious seeing that it comes from Magu’s lawyers.
Again, what could be the reason for his regret, we weren’t told.

paulolee:
and westbroom waa too weak to take advantage and grab dt 3 points....i blame bilic and his team for dt draw..
a small team in spain cnt allow dt except there is red card and p.k involved..
you are as good as dead playing a small team like sociedad or even getafe and losing 3 nil in first half instead of you to score na dm go add more to ur pain...
wats d need of defending when you cnt include fast attackers to punish dm d more..

My brother, those guys had 5 defenders at the back and 4 midfielders that also helped in defending. What else do you want from them? Maybe 2 goalkeepers?
The pressure from Chelsea that second half was deadly and they were lucky to grab those two goals in the process, even the last goal from Tammy was also pure luck but you cannot take away the hard work they had to do to earn it.

Nna, I got to Ezzangbo junction leading to my village and I couldn’t recognize it anymore. And to think that I was there just before the lockdown is truly amazing. A gigantic flyover bridge is standing there now. Another one is springing up fast at Nkalagu junction.
I am really proud to be from this state.
It’s sad that people living in the state are not happy with him. They prefer he brings the money to be squandered than use it to do projects that will benefit everyone.
Well done Engr Dave, well done.

Anything genuinely done for the betterment and benefit of the people is a welcome development.
I’m sure within my guts that godfatherism doesn’t and will never favor the people.
I stand to be corrected anyway.

Lol!
This one thinks that the governor will hand over to him when his tenure is over

Can we leave their country for them already?
I dislike nonsense and ingrates.
When the whole of Africa was demanding and funding an end to apartheid, none of them said we should leave them.

KosiGee:
He is right. I just checked livescore and it was the same. Blame livescore. Go to livescore and see it for yourself.
Check the time.

My bad.
It’s true
