:Pav seen it be4

and so what? Yet you can't differentiate between ass, gass, bass, phlegm, phlegmatic without dictionary.

The poem below is a condensed
version of ‘The Chaos’ by Gerard Nolst Trenité , written in 1922.
It features a ridiculous number of
words that are difficult to pronounce,
so don’t feel bad if you have to refer to a dictionary. I certainly did!

If you fancy yourself something of a professional linguist, then this
challenge is for you. English is
notoriously difficult to learn, as the language has so many exceptions to the rules. Even for a native English speaker, this poem presents quite a few challenges! Check it out and see how you fare.

If you can pronounce all
of the words, you speak English better than 90% of the population.
Here we go!

Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it’s written.)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.
Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.
Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.
Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward.
And your pronunciation’s OK
When you correctly say croquet,
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve, Friend and fiend, alive and live.
Ivy, privy, famous; clamour
And enamour rhyme with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
Doll and roll and some and home.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger, Neither does devour with clangour.
Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger, and then singer, ginger, linger, Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge, Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.
Query does not rhyme with very,
Nor does fury sound like bury.
Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.
Though the differences seem little,
We say actual but victual.
Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
Dull, bull, and George ate late.
Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
Science, conscience, scientific.
Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
Mark the differences, moreover,
Between mover, cover, clover;
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police and lice;
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.
Petal, panel, and canal,
Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor.
Tour, but our and succour, four.
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Sea, idea, Korea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.
Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion and battalion.
Sally with ally, yea, ye,
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
Heron, granary, canary.
Crevice and device and aerie.
Face, but preface, not efface.
Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.
Large, but target, gin, give, verging,
Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
Ear, but earn and wear and tear
Do not rhyme with here but ere.
Seven is right, but so is even,
Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.
Pronunciation — think of Psyche!
Is a paling stout and spikey?
Won’t it make you lose your wits,
Writing groats and saying grits?
It’s a dark abyss or tunnel:
Strewn with stones, stowed, solace,
gunwale,
Islington and Isle of Wight,
Housewife, verdict and indict.
Finally, which rhymes with enough —
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.

Now tell me your scores in percentage and how many time you checked dictionary.

State secret service operate like a well-knitted family. The service is run by tireless veterans who spend years studying their prospective recruits(for the core agents) stealthily before contacting them for possible employment. Veterans in the service do not retire. They work till death and are men and women of highest character who, like God himself, are capable of operating underground with the highest level of secrecy. God is capable of maintaining his grip and power on the world becos, no matter what, he cannot reveal the basic secrets of creation and the underlying factors of the universe. The veteran works to know everything in his dormain and without, and in saying nothing of it except if needed by the state thro his superiors. They are drilled to find thier own pleasure inwardly in the number of secrets at thier disposal to the use and ultimate satisfaction of the state instead of the worth at street value. The service has two real departments: the public service and the agency. Staff in The former are employed by regular course publication while staff in the later are hand-picked secretly from the psd or from anywhere in the world following years or months of secret appraisal and tentative confirmation. Members of the agency grow thro the grades to old age and death - they do not retire. Some only get to meet thier princIpals face to face decades after employment! Some work solely as ssa(secret service agent). Some live double lives - working as policemen, soldiers, civil servants, businessmen and women,navalstaff, anything. Those who do double work retire from their public work at the appropriate time but work to death at THE SERVICE.

It's because you are not there. You will never understand. yes!

I went to the place last week and visited three cities, They all understand this simple explanation :- "Aregbe was recieving huge allocation and started big project and later Jonathan mismanaged our treasury and states allocation droped, that made it difficult for Aregbe to continue his project and hinder his salary payments and bonuses including 13months payment. He did not embezle our money, he only thought thats how juicy allocation would continue" they said.

Welcome to the viewing of what is going to
be the hippest city in Australia, a massive
skyscraper inspired by Beyoncé. The city of
Melbourne has given planning approval for
the construction of a curvy 68-story tower
in its central business district. It even moves.
Unfortunately, the skyscrapers is actually
not called Beyoncé. The Australian
architecture studio Elenberg Fraser named it
Premiere Tower, but they’re hardly shy
about the Beyoncé connection.
“For those more on the art than science
side, we will reveal that the form does pay
homage to something more aesthetic,” said
the architects in a statement. “We’re going
to trust you’ve seen the music video for
Beyoncé’s ‘Ghost.’” (That’s the one with all
the swirling scarves and naked women
gyrating.
While the Beyoncé reference seems like a
cheesy ploy for press—it is—the design of
the skyscraper itself is pretty impressive.
The twisting form was developed using
parametric modeling to produce optimized
and often unusual shapes based on specific
design parameters.
As a result, the Premiere Tower bulges and
bends in certain spaces to maximize
efficiency. It will also respond to the
weather. In the firm’s own words: “The
complex form – a vertical cantilever – is
actually the most effective way to
redistribute the building’s mass, giving the
best results in terms of structural dispersion,
frequency oscillation and wind
requirements.”

Lolzz... Only one motor and people like 20 or something. You will be surprise when Aregbesola decides to show you his strenght soon then, you will see crowd. Federal Govt hve signed ECO money for all states yesterday and you think workers will stage protest today? Pdp sponsor this protest not NLC and you will never find any of their leaders among them.

I have strong reasons for my statement which is far away from bigotry,but i f you wish to take it personal then goodluck then!



FOR all the cows that have been quoting me and saying one rubbish or the other including the ones that will still quote me later,I've got no much word to say to y'all than FVCK Y'ALL SO HARD!!!

there is No way i could let you read this unless i quote you so, no vex

till this world rapp up and become vanity, we will always have different religions. There is no book either Quran, Bible or others that states how the whole world will be in one religion, we shall always have people with different faith around us.

If you hate islam and everything that has to do with muslim so bad then you are no better than boko haram cos if you see gun and protection maybe from government or influential people in the society you will kill too. That's exactly the state of mind of those boko haram, isis etc. they hate Xtian too. If you like it or not Muslims will always present in this world, africa, Nigeria and Xtian will always live too so, think more on how to live together not how to fight each other.

Now sing after me.

Aregbesola Na baba

In one of my early school English
textbooks, an interesting story I read still
lingers in the memory. It was the story of
Angazi, and I crave your indulgence as I
adapt the story for the purpose of today’s
discourse. It goes thus: A certain traveller
found himself in a beautiful foreign city
with
amazing infrastructure and jaw-slacking
edifices. When he got to a truly avant
garde
skyscraper he turned to a man standing
nearby and asked: “Who owns this mighty
building?” “Angazi,” the man replied.
“Wow!
Angazi!”, the stranger exclaimed. In
another
section of the city, he saw a truly eye-
goggling car zooming past so regally and
he
could not help wondering aloud: “Who on
earth is the owner of this wonder on
wheels?” To his shock, a woman standing
close responded, “Angazi!” The traveller
gaped at the woman and exclaimed,
“Angazi
again! That man must be filthy rich!”
Before
the day ended, the tourist had seen
hundreds of architectural and other
money-
made wonders – opulent shopping malls,
theme parks, astounding cloverleaf-fill ed
super highways, hotels etc – and each
time
he asked to know the owner, the
response
was the same: “Angazi!” As he returned to
his hotel in a taxi, he got to a section
where
hoodlums were rioting and destroying
property. Scared, he asked the taxi driver
who could have caused the riot; and the
frantic answer again was “Angazi!” He
was
still wondering how pervasive was the
riches and power, and even notoriety of
this
Angazi person when he saw a crowd of
mourners conveying a dead soul in an
expensive coffin to a cemetery. He then
received the shock of his life when on
asking to know the name of the person in
the coffin the answer was again, “Angazi!”
“What a life!” our tourist could not help
exclaiming. “This Angazi owned virtually
this
whole city but alas, all he has now is that
piece of grave and the expensive coffin! So
what’s the usefulness of his money now?”
Our tourist only realized his folly and
abject
ignorance later that night when he
returned
to his hotel. As an alien in a city where a
different language is spoken and which he
didn’t understand, this tourist did not
know
that “Angazi” was not a name but a
sentence meaning, “I don’t know!” All the
people he had spoken to had really told
him
nothing, but his ignorance betrayed him
into making hasty conclusions! This is akin
to the case of Citizen Bola Ahmed Tinubu
and the impression of legions of
impressionable Nigerians about him. In
our
nation’s political history, I stand to be
corrected if I asserted that no other
Nigerian has attracted as much popularity
–
some would say ‘notoriety’ – in the mind
of
Nigerians as Tinubu. Such is the power of
his personal influence in contemporary
dispensation that anything that happens
in
today’s polity, real or imagined, good or
bad,
outlandish or ordinary, must have the
magical Tinubu touch. Even the foreign
press have been bitten by the fast
metastasizing Tinubu bug. If he’s not
being
called the Zvengali of Nigerian politics by
prominent British newspapers now, he is
being referred to as the Machiavelli of
African politics by an American media
giant
then. Such is the immensity of the
institutionaliz ation of Tinubu’s might that
anything befalling the nation, good or bad,
is attributed to him. Indeed, in dissecting
the architecture of this man’s near
mythical
influence one would find that easily.
Tinubu
has become the unwitting cannon fodder
of
most political events, good or bad. No one
can deny Tinubu his status as a major
architect of the present dispensation.
Challenge me, but I can safely say that his
adroit, brave and near-suicidal stand
against
the PDP behemoth of those days made the
APC revolution possible. Without the
formidable structure he so generously
availed the APC merger, the broom
revolution that crumbled the seemingly
invincible PDP would not have chanced.
With
such gigantic media might, coupled with
near fanatical following in the key
Southwest states and Edo, the union that
birthed the APC largely owed its success to
him. He thus deserved a high seat on the
high table of the emergent order.
However,
like our fabled “Angazi”, Tinubu is tilting
dangerously towards being credited with
virtually anything that happens in the
polity
even when such attributes are blatantly
erroneous. Tinubu must be wary of the
incipient image of an unscrupulous
power-
grabber and ravenous money demon. Too
often, he is being portrayed as a ravenous
powerhungry cormorant which, on
balance,
is really not so. That is why this man of the
moment must watch it. Rather than the
thesis of his influence leading to an
antithesis and ensuing bitter jealousy
turning his many admirers against him, he
should assume a more statesmanlike role
as
this dispensation grapples the arduous
challenges of change. With an influence
this
colossal, I challenge Tinubu to assume his
huge powers with more patriotic and
statesmanlike zeal. It is clear that he can be
a
huge force in the making of a truly great
Nigeria by transforming that power to
more
positive use. He can exploit the near-
mythical image to inspire his party, the
President and all Nigerians to overcome
the
nation’s nagging oddities.

I'm going to start a compilation of names and i can authoritatively tell you that you have a number on the seat. MOFFOS!

Nobody has ever acuse Aregbe of coruption, they only clamour for payment of salary and insinuate maybe He over-do some project without propal analyses.

Get a life

Though this post kinda funny maybe because of it very short writen or something but, if i dont comment now When?

Aregbe is a good politician and grassroot man, full of innovation, idea, style etc. If you like it or not Buhari will copy atleast 3 if not all Aregbesola initiatives. #Fact
