That one na for una wey dey use 2 hands hold steering o. When I drive my right hand is relatively functionless unless I wan push gear stick or off engine.

Bad and inexperienced driving skill. I am also guilty. I was only conveying the basic expectation for a good driver.

eleshin:
MSc holder and you can't differentiate btw Honourary degree and academic degree? Wow!

Red Cross Member........

If you made sense to yourself so be it. I am never joining issues with you.

bastien:
lol, I hold steering like that when I dey on serious mood, most times na one hand thing

Cool thing.

Meanwhile all these guys that nobody taught.....God help una sha

To my mind, no matter the quantity of medical or legal books you study, you need to be guided. Those are professions just like driving is.

bastien:
mine na 10 to 2

Lol. You will be seating and holding the steering like a rabbit



Na joke I dey oooo

bastien:
Driving school 2wks, 1wk for theory the other week for practical.


For anybody who wants to drive first of all enroll into good license driving school... U gonna learn so many things, I was happy I did

1. Cars steering has number, which many drivers don't know
2. Cars can move without u engaging the throttle/gas
3. They are two common ways to hold the steering (2-10 or, 3-45 etc)
4. The last person wey drive the car fit don adjust am go front top much, when u drive na ur leg go dey pain u.
5. Those sign on the dashboard, some people dey drive them no know oil sign smh.

Etc

Ten past 7 is the safest steering handling position.

Smartsyn:
I learnt through the hard way.

When I was in school, that was my 2nd year, I was living with an Uncle and he has many cars, and two of them was at our disposal. His two sons, my age mates can all drive, but I can't, I have never drive before in my life.

One morning as I was washing one of the cars, I never knew that you must not step on the throttle before the car moves, I just start the car, engage the gear and remove my leg from the crunch, the car jumped and hit the car in front. That was my first experience with a car.

Weeks later, one of the sons asked me to drive, we're on the highway, he told me what to do and was like I got it. From gear 1, I jumped to gear 4 while I was dancing with the steering, I nearly caused an accident.

That was how I managed to learn, after many attempts.

How did you learn how to drive, did you went to a driving school?

I dId not 'went( sic )' to a driving school. My dad taught me.

Little wonder i scare danfo and molue drivers off the road.

This is one reason I am not excited on proceeding on my doctorate. Me and the likes of rich drop outs from school will be sharing same academic accolades . Nigeria sef

You are a liar...I'm based in north too and I haven't seen anything like that

Well call your type of onwuchekwa. ..death exercise patience ....where I come from.

SO THERE...

My school no appear for the list but we still dey rep big time. Thumbs up for Aggrey Memorial College, third oldest school in the then eastern region founded 1929 only after Government College Umuahia and Methodist grammar school uzuakoli

Prayer needed asap

Are you from ukpabi nimbo in enugu state?

tysontim:
army reinforcement are sent to arrive from Ohafia

Army services from the ohafia cantonment is skeletal. They were decimated when they were all taken to Liberia. Meanwhile the roads are so bad that they won't quickly get to Aba.

I am however not supporting any rampage. Just stating the obvious

Afrok:
Why dem go ask her questions about something she POSSIBLY did before the interview?

Reminds me of an aircraft attendant asking me where my cigarrette ighter was as I was boarding a craft. He smelt something I did shortly before i came into the lounge and checked in. I simply smiled at him and told him I wasn't dumb

Title of movie is bloodbath on lekki bridge. As usual no blood will pour. We will see ketchup smear unprofessionally executed

Thank SIRS

Rapmoney:
I'm trying to show you the context in which some people use it. In pidgin, people freely say 'You dey smart oo!!!' It means you are biting more than you can chew! Does it mean it should still be correct grammatically when spoken in English? That's totally wrong!

In pdgin if you call me smart, it means you are calling me sharp and its correct because pidgin english has no rules and its generally understood.

BomboyOnline:
Yes you can look for someone.

More like I am searching for funmilayo. I think looking for funmilayo is also right

Rapmoney:
I know even educated people commit grammatical blunders sometimes but there are grammatical blunders that are just so outrageous and shameful at the same time, when they come right out of the mouths of supposed 'graduates' from tertiary institutions!

If you have been guilty of the following as regard spoken English, then you have clearly moved from being a 'Half-baked' graduate to a 'Quarter-baked' graduate!!!

1) 'You are smarting'...I heard a guy at a plaza who claimed to be a graduate saying this! Gush! Being smart is very different from being fast or slick. By the way, there's no verb such as 'smarting' in English language which means the same thing as what this young man was trying to say!

2) 'You are showing yourself'...just like the one above, how can someone be 'showing' himself/herself? So human being don turn movie? Na wa o!

3) 'Oya, come and go'...two opposite verbs. You are telling the person to come and at the same time, to go! Again, what's the meaning of 'Oya'?

4) 'My body is scratching me'...your body can only itch you and not scratch. You scratch when you use your fingers to stroke a surface roughly! Lol!

5) 'My phone is 'more' better than yours...this sentence can surely make you appear a 'quarter-bakie' You can't use two comparative adjectives in a sentence! We have good, better, best. When you compare two things, the middle one which is 'better' should be used so there's no need for 'more' which is also a comparative adjective but goes with 'than'. As in 'more than'

6) 'Did she went to the market'?...as absurd as this sentence is, I have seen many 'graduates' saying it! Two verbs with past tense form in the same sentence?

7) 'Ola, something is smelling. Can you hear it...ehen!!! 'HEAR'? English!!!

8. 'People has' or 'she have'...'has' is a singular auxiliary verb that goes with a singular subject while 'have' is a plural auxiliary verb that goes with a plural subject.

9) 'They takes people for granted'...this one is common on NL. A plural subject does not go with a singular verb and vice versa. 'Take' is plural and 'takes' is singular which goes with a singular subject as well. Take note of 'They' being a plural subject.

10) 'I am looking for Funmilayo'...you can't be looking for someone. Instead, say 'I am asking of Funmilayo'. You can only look for what is lost! It happens regularly when people go to check on others. We can only start looking for Funmilayo if she is declared missing!

I hope these help! We are all learning. It is only a foolish man that takes offence when he is corrected!

Good day!!!

You can add yours!

You are right on the other ones but on no 1 you are wrong, with all due respect. Smarting is not used in the context of being smart it is used generally in the context of going through an emotional process... perhaps hurtful feeling... smarting from a loss...this is not used in the context of being brilliant or smart in everyday sense of the word. Peace

Standing5:
Only a proper follow up of these criminals that will lead to heavy penalty for them will convince the doubting masses that BH is real and that Chibok ain't no scam. If they let them go again like it happened before then I will agree BH was heavily staged n that Chibok girls was a scam.

Unfortunately your opinion doesn't count same with your thoughts, in this matter. Ask Buhari if in doubt.

what a black woman can only offer is a parasitic relationship

all this RUBBISH happen here in Nigeria and that's why I don't give a damn about women. I only see them as parasite. you can trust other women be it from different countries but you can't trust a NAIJA WOMEN

there are just like scorpion ready to attack without thinking.

many of them are walking the street putting a face of decent and gentle but little did you know that there are devils in the making. I don't trust WOMEN and never will I ever trust them.

I don't use my heart to love a woman and never will I use it to fall in love with them.

I don't PITY WOMEN and never will I have mercy on them.

I sure say na man born you.

EemeritusMbam:
Coward refuggee, you think making noise online is bravery, leave your camp and go face them. Coward

I noticed you responded at 2.45 am are u a night watchman or a robber. Urchin.

Firgemachar:
You are right bro!
They made the whole thing look like Yoruba sat idly by while aboookis attacked. Whereas the attacks were mutual.

They even went as far as regurgigating the same story all through the weekend.
Infact, the abookis even killed an ibo. Yet, it didnt matter to them.

Eventually, the Fulanis apologised on national TV.

Now it's their turn and they are peeing their pants.
What a shame!
RIP to the dead though.

Going to kill people in remote village cannot be compared to attacking a people in the metropolis. The fulani should go to aria ariaria market or any of the igbo markets and attack them, then we can gauge their response against what your people did in mile 12 which is a metropolitan market.

faithesco:
Na Ghana babe na...9ja men wey stingy sooo,even if dem wan pay u,it will with old currency#pissed#well am faithesco and I just want 2 make common sense

I did not know you were also in the business and now comparing notes.

The fact is in one hour you will still be sweating under one Nigerian man. We no dey quick throway like that....haba 3 men inside one hour? Na indomie men be that abeg

blaqoracle:
Instead of gov ugwuanyi to call his president, nnandi KANU, he was busy disturbing president buhari.

What goes around comes around. Mark my words. Others will gleefully laugh with relish when these band of robbers attack you and yours. It's a prayer and a curse since you have chosen to trivialise what has befallen your fellow man

ElCapone:
nah lowkey tinz. If e allow dis old fulani gbab am, even him great grand children go de pity am 4 wetin him go use im eye see. If nah lie ask dasuki and kanu et al.

I feel you bro

There is this thing about caution being a greater part of valour.

It's the weak man that clarifies and shows others where the valiant was buried.
