christejames:
Try and convince me old man.



Old man, you think NPFL is like the La Liga, Seria A, Ligue 1 etc that have one or two clubs dominating year in year out?



Go and get properly enlightened on NPFL before you come here disgracing yourself just to prove nothing.

Don't mind him. They know nothing about the league but will keep displaying their ignorance.

Ok!!! We are going to cooperate with you but you have to promise to give us "A"s

WHY WOULD U BELIEVE THAT even in the age of google?

I didn't believe it.

no Sir - I remember that game like yesterday

Okwaraji was playing against the Angolan National Team in Lagos - The Angolans were given us real tough time that day - Jesus Osvlin and Diaz Vera were tormenting our defense and we needed to win that game so that if we get a draw against Cameroun in Younde, then we will qualify from our group to play the knock out with Tunisia

Nigeria was leading when Okwaraji slumped - Trust me that game was a very difficult game - more difficult than the nations cup quarter final game between Nigeria and Senegal in AFCON 2000. Samson Siasia was the first to rush to him and I remember the late Ernest Okonkwo of FRCN running commentary on radio while we were watching TV live broadcast of the match - DO YOU GUYS KNOW THAT THE AMBULANCE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE OKWARAJI TO THE HOSPITAL DID NOT START? THEY HAD TO DO Push and start while the young man was battling for his life

After the match - I remember RADIO NIGERIA news of 7 am saying the next day that Okwaraji died - THE WHOLE COUNTRY WAS THROWN INTO MOURNING - rumors started flying around that it was Friday Ekpo that killed him with Juju and all that nonsense -

Nigeria team spirit was very low and there was confusion everywhere as Coach Paul Hamilton was sacked after the lack lustre performance against the Palacas Negras of Angola and CLEMENCE WESTERHOF the Dutch Tactician was tapped to take over -

with OKWARAJI dead, the Super Eagles Coach Fired, and Nigeria playing a must win OR draw away game at Stade Omnisport against the African Nations Cup Champions - the Imdomptable Lions of Cameroun, Nigeria descended into a bleak phase in soccer development- wow just like yesterday, I can still remember where I watched that match and the moment Okwaraji fell

I know but we were made to believe that myth that he died playing against India.

RIP Sam Opkaraji.
I can't forget the story that he died while playing against India, a match they alleged the Indians won 99-1.

First, it was Mumu MURIC fighting against WAEC timetable, now it is these ones killing their brother for just singing. I can still recall that someone sang that "Jesus chop garri", I bet you if it had been against Prophet Muhammad, the singer's head will not still be on his or her neck.
Our Muslim brothers and foolishness are like this.

Yeah, bet they found the light now.

Yeah, unfortunately they found it in their graves.

lucasalves:
Doubt everything? Yeah, some fools doubted Corona virus until they got it and died from it.

Yeah, you called them "fools" and that is what they are for only just doubting the existence of the novel Corona virus without finding their own lights by doing further researchs and studies on the existence of the virus.

Stay there with your feather. I never claimed to be a "proud erudite". Those don't defend grammatically incorrect sentences for four days.

Question, where exactly did you end quotes in your first sentence.

I think my reason for debating that long is encapsulated in the quote below.

lucasalves:
By the way, you are not going to distract from the fact that you defended "that you lacks" as grammatically correct for four days.

Deflect all you want, that still stands.

I defended "that you lacks" for a long period of time, you also defended "demand and quality IS the same. I think we are just like "birds of a feather" because we are striving for perfection albeit I defended my flaw for a long period of time unlike you.

lucasalves:
I defended the use of "is" after words like demand and quality when you seemed to suggest only "are" could follow those words. I wasn't defending my own use of "is" after comparing the two things.

"Talking".... Fine margins, fine margins.

You actually did sir, maybe you have forgotten.
Thank you.

lucasalves:
Man everyone can make the occasional mistake, I use my phone for typing a lot of research work and usually I follow up the word "quality" with "is" which as you know Samsung keyboard stores frequently used words in the order they are used.
I have made more than one comment following "demand and quality" with are.

I am not ignorant or arrogant enough to defend a grammatically incorrect sentence for four days as you did with "that you lacks". I know you are desperately trying to find something to latch on to but the difference between us is as clear as day and night.

You defended "that you lacks" as a correct statement for more than four days and the moment you were exposed you quickly scrolled through previous comments to find petty mistakes. Take your "L" like a man, you got egg on your face.

Note: If it was really down to fine margins, I would say "am is not used in placed of I am or I'm".

Here is a source from Google.
I'm is the contraction of “I am”, whereas am is simply the verb with no pronoun before it. ... Proper English requires the pronoun before the verb. Using the contraction (I'm) is the less formal (but still correct) way to say it.

You defended the verb "is" as the appropriate verb sir although not for a long period of time like I did, maybe you have forgotten. Taking about scrolling through our previous comments, I didn't do anything like that, I just asked so as to know if truly the verb "is" is the right verb to use and not to ridicule you.
I think it is high time you stopped seeing my comments as an avenue to ridicule you. I debated for so long with you on the issue of "you lacks" so that you could come up with concrete points, so that whenever I am debating anywhere, l will have facts to buttress my point.
I think I debates with the view to improving my knowledge and not to ridicule anybody. Like I said before, you actually defended "is" but unlike I, you defended it for a short period of time. I think we are striving for perfection of the language, even the native speakers do make mistakes while speaking.

Thank you.

lucasalves:
Welcome, took longer than it should but at least now you know "that you lacks" is grammatically wrong.

Good morning, I made a request yesterday which you didn't respond to.
I requested or pleaded that you should elucidate on the choice of the verb "is" as the appropriate verb in the statement below.
"demand and quality is the same".
Thank you.

lucasalves:
First no one is asking you the plural form of "lack" here, the issue at hand is that "that you lacks" isn't grammatically correct.

Well I haven't seen a screenshot (I requested) where "that you lacks" is used. I am just going to assume you know by now you are wrong. Arrogance is a disease.

And a quote from you..."It will also be nice if you will educate me on the correctness of this comment "This was interesting"." Thought a "proud erudite" would know this kind of stuff.

"It will also be nice if you educate me on the correctness of this comment" (There is simply no need for the double use of "will" in this sentence, it is at best superfluous).

Still awaiting "that you lacks" from a reputable source. Peace.

Nothing is wrong with the statement, both "it will be nice if you will educate me on the correctness of this comment" and "it will be nice if you educate me on the correctness of this comment" are both correct.
The issue of "you lacks", maybe I was wrong, maybe.
You once said it is right to say "demand and quality IS the same. I think you should elucidate on the choice of "is" as the appropriate verb.

Check out these examples to help you on your way to knowledge.

1) It is obvious to me that you jumps. (incorrect)
Now using "any of you"
- It is obvious if any of you jumps. (correct)

2) It is obvious to me that you sees.(incorrect)
Now using "any of you"
- It is obvious if any of you sees. (correct)

3) It is obvious to me that you reasons. (incorrect)
Now using "any of you"
- It is obvious to me if any of you reasons. (correct)

And the Elephant in the room.

- It is obvious to me that you lacks. (incorrect).
Now using "any of you"
- It is obvious to me that if any of you lacks. (correct)

Pretty sure you won't reply to this specific comment as it exposes your flawed logic.

Thank you for the explanation. I don't think am arrogant like you claimed. In this situation, I still need further education on the differences between that "you" in "any of you" and "you" that made one to go with "lack" and other "lacks".
I am not arguing with you on the correctness of the sentence.
Thank you.

Sorry Yoruba Amaka

lucasalves:
Look you asked me to post where "This was interesting" is used, I did with more than enough examples. I asked you to post where "that you lacks" is used, you posted "any of you lacks" and r I van away like a fowl. How are those two things the same.
You even tried to pass off your own sentence as a scenario where "that you lacks" is used instead of producing a decent reference.

The word "lacks" is the plural form of "lack", that is according to Goggle.
I didn't remember saying that "any of you" and "you" are the same. I only posted that quotation when you requested that I should show you an example where "lacks" is used after "you".
Lastly, I didn't say you were wrong when you said "this was interesting", I only requested for elucidation on the correctness of the statement and also gave my own ideas which are correct according to your source.
Thank you for your audience and knowledge you passed across.

Juventus are bunch of ingrates,this man won them the scudeto, what more do they want.


*runs outta thread*

They are used to winning the league so that was not their target.

Why won't they sack him? The number of cigarettes he smokes in a match day is more than the number of goals Juve scores in a match day and the number of cigarettes he smoked the last season is more than the number of points Juve gathered the season that just ended.

obonujoker:
Please sell Higuain to Barca too..
Sarri said Juventus is cursed, so he deserved the sack....
Let's get Ancelloti

Are you a Juve fan?

lucasalves:
What I asked you is simple. Post a sentence from any reputable source that contains the phrase "that you lacks" . This is simple, do it in your next reply or you can just take the "L".

You initially asked me to post where "lacks" was used after "you". I posted where the Bible said "If any of YOU LACKS wisdom", the next thing you said was that the verb "lacks" was used because of the word "of" which you didn't say before and you used that as an excuse.
You are now requesting that I should post another sentence where "that you lacks" is used, who knows what will be your next excuse.
I want to thank you for your audience and the knowledge you passed across, also I am happy that you improved greatly in your grammatical expressions as I noticed that you wrote in paragraphs lately and I also noticed cohesion in your writeup unlike before. Keep it up and do not relent. I am not sure I will be able to reply your messages anymore.
Thank you sir.

lucasalves:
How about you come up with the correct one? And before you do, make sure you have done your research because I just can't wait to laugh.

How about "That was interesting" if the action was done in the past or "This is interesting" if the action is still happening or in the present, how about that?

lucasalves:
Just so you don't blow up your brain, here is a rule of thumb for you.

"any of" (a large set of people), hence the pluralisation of the verb "lack".

"that you" (a specific second person pronoun), hence the singular verb "lack".

This should be easy enough for even a toddler to comprehend.

In other words, whenever "You" is used as a specific second person pronoun, the verb that should go with it must be a singular verb. It also implies that it is wrong to say "You are fat" rather we should say "You is fat". This is because "are" is the plural form of the verb "is".
