Both are incorrect in this context of expression meaning to be able to recite something.
Its. " by heart"

"I know it by heart"
,"I can say it by heart"
" I can recite it by heart".


Modified.

Those arguing with me go study about contextual and literal meaning. I can't help you biko.

This is directly from Cambridge dictionary. Read and educate yourself. Meanwhile English is not our language, we shouldn't argue over it. Let's put more effort on our individual languages. It's dying everyday.

offhand
adverb
UK /ˌɒfˈhænd/ US /ˌɑːfˈhænd/

without looking for information and without thinking carefully; immediately:
I can't quote the exact statistics for you offhand, but they're there for you to see in the report.

This country Na cruise. I pray they don't kill this man when he arrives to the country

After paying tens of thousands of naira and giving madam mandatory packs of drinks snacks and other stuffs, the apprentices are still subjected to inhumane working conditions. Those girls will be made to stand for the entire workday (apparently you cant learn while sitting), some are sent home to do house chores. After all that stress, madam will charge them an arm and a leg for graduation. If only these girls knew that there are design institutes that cost around what they were charged and they won't be treated like slaves.

Most people no longer learn these apprenticeship anymore. Especially here in Benin city Edo State.

Haters of this country are all quiet as cement price have crashed back to 5k-6k.


Haters of good news feel free to wail.

Tell us where you bought this. I bought cement bags yesterday at Benin city upper sokponba for 11k each.

TGM2015:
Seems Nigeria took the right decision anyway.

I knew the arrests in Nigeria was more of money laundering and weapon proliferation than dollars rate stabilisation.

No they didn't. If you have been following closely what has been happening with this Tinubu government, you will know Nigeria is already western aligned. Most decisions like these were sanctioned and sometimes authorised by the west. We know the atrocities of most oil companies operating in the south south. Why have their CEO not been arrested. The war with China is still on. Yesterday it was Tik Tik. Let them keep feeding you guys bullshit.

Franzinni:
Watch how Nigerian people will ridicule his efforts... But if he was a white man, heck even a yellow man is enough for them to give it a stamp of their approval.

This is tech we should take incredibly serious because it can even be used in many urban areas to identify individuals according to their profile.

It can be used for vehicle identification as well in case of theft , violations, security etc...

I'm also in the tech field so I know the effort he had put in to achieve this but the truth have to be said, Nigeria government does not need any AI to identify bandits and terrorist. They (the government) are the terrorist and bandits, and I mean this literally. The federal government knows every terrorist, bandits and smugglers that are terrorising Nigeria on a large scale. If the government does not know you as a terrorist then it means you just entered the business or you are inconsequential and are expendable.

bjdon:
Why do my Edo people always carry matter on their heads? Edo voted LP because they knew ACP and PDP had nothing to offer. It's for those who voted ACP to now come out and protest about what they voted for. Edo people should emulate the SE and just go about their business

How many people you see there? I'm in Benin now and if not for this thread I would not have known anything like protest took place

I'm telling you. I wish I knew some of the things I knew now early enough. I would have been a Reverend father.

oz4real83:
As good as this sounds, the recruitment procedure must be given due diligence, state police must not be treated the same way some states have been treating state vigilante agencies where cultists loyal to the ruling party are the personnel or workforce , protecting the people and properties should be the central theme across board, not cult-wars .

I'm afraid, this is likely going to be the scenario in a place like Edo State for instance where even the deputy governor is a cultist. Worse still is that the governor's will not recruit enough personnel but they will recruit enough to manipulate elections. This so called state police will be rubbish. I'm just hoping the state police are not given the powers to prosecute otherwise we are about to witness another satanic era in Nigeria.

nairalanda1:
They still need two thirds in senate, states houses of representative and so forth

And they need to somehow show the states would be viable. In my opinion they won't because nigerians hate taxes

They might get the two third for senate. It is when they get to state houses that issues will arise.

Kaycee9242:
Hope they gave them money to support the business, mad people. They will still make policy that will kill those businesses

Businesses that they will kill with multiple taxation.

I am no expert with kids...

But I think sometimes it depends on how sharp the kid is.

But there is really no handout to these things.

Kids nowadays as quick.

Probably 4 years old... But not serious school. Those crèche whatever where they do those play things.

I told you am no an expert with kids!

You tried in your answer but 6 years old is the best time to start. There is nothing like sharp kids. There are a lot of scientific reasons for this. I don't want to delve into that now but you can google why the best time is 6years old.

Melagros:
I've predicted his fall before, but unfortunately I was attacked here severely

I'm sure those that attacked you are not from Edo State and is not aware of what is happening there. Any Edo State indigene knows that Shuaibu was just out to embarrass himself. After this tenure he is going to be seen as a gold digger that he is and these activities can damage his political life if he is not careful.

Rilwayne001:
And that's why I said Run to where?

You know what's funny? A similar scenario played out in 2002 in Lagos, when bombs started going off. I saw as the bombs were flying off from the cantonment and exploding wherever it hits, I saw fire and people running Helter skelta. Many people ran away from their homes and perished in the canal. Those that stayed back and resisted the urge to run away survived without a scratch. I don't pray to be in that Palestine situation but if I find myself there, I'm not sure I will run. My choice will either be to pick a gun and defend myself from the ground assault or to stay and die from the missiles.

crismark:
A whole Isreal dey fight battle with bombs and guns but in this our devilish Nigeria, they will tell you "leave am for God"

We are leaving it for God because we are largely unarmed. With the present crop of Nigerians we have, if you arm them you will see how ruthless they can become. I hope you know it is normal in Israel to see a girl moving around with an assault rifle.

Crude Oil Money really made Nigerian Tourism industry relax

Obudi Cattle ranch, Tinapa all this project are world class marvels

Nigeria have no business talking about tourism for now. You can't be talking of tourism in an insecured environment.

‘You Goofed’, Ex-Minister Dalung Accuses Tinubu Of Falling Into Trap Of Subsidy Racketeers


Former Minister of Sports and Youth, Solomon Dalung, has accused President Bola Tinubu of falling prey to fuel subsidy criminals. Dalung…





https://dailytrust.com/you-goofed-ex-minister-dalung-accuses-tinubu-of-falling-into-trap-of-subsidy-racketeers/

I want to believe this is fake News, otherwise Solomon Dalung that helped destroy the Buhari regime is also accusing Buhari of failure. Nigeria is a comedy series.

Googledotcom:
Will the new minimum wage affect private companies ?

It will affect private companies indirectly more than directly. The big private companies will effect the change while the smaller ones will be forced to effect the change when they start loosing staff so in other for the small ones to effect the change they will need to increase the price of the goods or services they render. Indirectly this policy will raise inflation.

Though he looks like Naira Marley but no one is insisting he's the real Naira Marley

For him to come out and deny Naira Marley, he knows what he has seen

[quote author=Nairaland1stson post=126160177][/quote]No matter how it turns out, you will be implicated. What you need to do now is to give yourself a fighting chance. Meet you account officer and block your account. When they come tell them your account is flagged that you are trying to rectify it with the bank. Report to the police and based on the level of trust you have in the said officers, you can get them arrested. If not leave them but let the police know, it will save you in future if there are issues. Your account officer will advice you accordingly but if you don't have issues in 3-5days time then all is well.

PaigeTaylor:
Hello house. I'm too angry to type. Been married for 10 years with a kid. 10 long hard years.

He always assures me and portrays himself as a faithful man. I have never suspected him of committing adultery, not because he's not capable, but because I wanted to give him benefit of doubt. I wanted trust to be in my marriage because I'm extremely faithful to him. He disvirgined me on my wedding night.

But he does A LOT of flirting on social media. Passwords his phone from me. This has caused a lot of problems between us, almost leading to marriage break up many times, until people advised me to stay off his phone, which I did. I lost my job since February and have been unable to get another one.

Now I'm learning some soft skills online, using my phone but it got to a point where I couldn't proceed because it's an old phone. I told him yesterday morning that I would love to use his phone, he said ok when he returned from work.

Only for me to go to his browser to enter a website address, I started seeing past searches from him.
LOVE SMS YOU CAN SEND TO UR CRUSH
LOVE MESSAGES YOU CAN SEND TO UR EX GIRLFRIEND.

The one that shook me to the bone is, HOW TO SEDUCE MY SISTER INLAW.

She came to visit two weeks back. She is very beautiful and plump and he has always told me he had a crush on her. So I know.
And those internet searches are RECENT.

I feel so disgusted by his presence now, so much that I don't allow his body to touch mine on bed. I feel for my daughter, she's just 6 years and I don't have any money to take care of her. He doesn't take care of me either, but I have put up with him, I have struggled and suffered with him all these years. Only to see this on his phone. I'm beyond depressed.

He's talking of us celebrating our 10 years anniversary by December and thinking of inviting few family and friends. BUT I'M NOT INTERESTED. The love is dead. I've been played all along.

HOW WILL I HANDLE THIS?

Compared to what I've faced in marriage, I will say this is a non issue.

BennyDGreat:
Why did you take the security job at the time?

The pay was good, very good. Better than most jobs out there. But like I later discovered, it was very stressful.

Standstrong:
I picked up the gate man job ending of last month out of no other better options at the moment and seeing what economic hardship was making me pass through, especially waking up with no hope of where food is going to come from, make i no go steal, God abeg.

I have been doing the job well. Yesterday, while strolling around the area, I heard one man saying he is looking for someone to cut grasses in his compound. Being something I can do to collect the money to help myself as i was hungry and peniless, I met the man and told him i can do the work and we agreed on N15k.

So as my oga went to work, i rushed down to do the work. While I was on it, i dont know what brought my oga back to the house and he didnt see me at the post.

He called me and asked me where i am. I rushed down to the house. I told him i got a small contract of 15k to cut grass for someone in the neighbourhood.

The man got so angry on why I left his duty post to go do another job. Worse was that the person i did the job for was more like his enemy, as i later learnt they've not been in good terms.

He sacked me instantly. I begged this man as a human being to please forgive but he refused to consider me again. He even said, "go before you go and collect poison from my enemy to come and kill me".

Please what is my business with whatever fight the two of them are fighting?

That was how I lost the small job i just got 3 weeks ago and now back with nothing. He should have paid me for the 3 weeks right away but he didnt, rather he said i will find a way to pay you for the services so far.

Please, the country is already very hard and all I needed was something that could give me immediate money to survive on first.

Sad how struggling citizens are being badly treated everyday even while legitimately hustling for survival. How he will pay me for the 3 weeks, he didn't say it.

It's painful but it is not the end of the world.

I will make it too. Amen.

I'm not sure you understood the job description before picking it up. How can you say you are doing your job diligently and the same time leave your duty post. It doesn't make sense. You were not trained before getting the job. I once worked as a security man to a popular bishop in Edo State. The man really liked me because of how I took the job seriously. The day I left the job, the second day I drove to the premises in my father's clean car and they were shocked I was from a decent family. They probably thought I was hungry. Learn from this experience. You were wrong 100%. If I were your oga I will not pay the 3 weeks because I will claim you had probably been leaving your duty post for other side hustle.

Lexiskillz09:
Your heart dey left. So, I stand with your left mind

Oga, the mind is the brain not heart.

HelpMeee:
Lol
Well,he said "learn" not master. I learnt mine in about that time.

Stop quoting me if you want to say nonsense. I repeat myself for people to hear. You cannot learn full stack in 7 days. Don't be bamboozled with rubbish talk of learning and mastering. You can't learn HTML in seven days not to talk of combining it with CSS and JavaScript. Who do you think you're quoting. Do you think we are babies here?

illicit:
Local fowl dey sweet pass poultry one

This is a misconception. At best it can be said to be false. What should be said is that older chickens are sweeter than younger ones. Chickens at home tends to stay for years before the owner kills it while those in poultry stays for a period of 3months before they are killed

Don't fall for this sh*t people. You can't learn full stack in 7 days. You can't even learn front end in seven days not to talk of full stack. I'm not sure whoever posted this is a developer

If you voted buhari twice in 2014/2019 and voted EBOLA 2023...then your IQ is not different from that of a He-goat.

Words on the marble

Actually a He-goat is an intelligent animal. It is more intelligent than a sheep. Their IQ should be compared to a piece of sh*t.

mayor1814:
This is a very good topic. Proprietresses and proprietors use teachers anyhow coz dey know they little or no options. And wen u leave they they can always get another set of teachers to employ.

May God help us.

I don't think this is the same in every state because here in Benin city, it is difficult to get a teacher talk more of using them anyhow. So using them anyhow is out of the question. You disrespect them they leave. If you want to teach, do part time teaching. The holiday lesson is requested by the parents not the school. This issue has been overflogged here on Nairaland. Most parents that go to work don't feel comfortable leaving the kids either with the uncles at home or let the kids roaming in the area so they opt for holiday lesson. In business, when there is a demand, there will be supply.

Stevosty:
uniben axis actually have more landlords than landladies, but away from that axis it is more of landladies.

Away from where? Oga you dey internet dey yarn dust. Mention the 5 areas and street that have such. If you want me to mention 10 areas that does not have such I will. If you also want me to mention the Uniben areas that such exist, I will mention it. Mind you Uselu market, Technical road, Ekoaodin, Oluku areas areas are regarded as Uniben axis. For example: mention one area at Upper Sokponba that have more landlady than landlords
