When two languages collide something called a creole language evolves. That's exactly how English language itself evolved!!. Pidgin English is a creole language originating from collision of European's and our languages. Today, Pidgin is a language in its own right like Jamaican Patois and many other creole languages.

For your information, Britain was also mostly colonized by Germans, French, Spaniards, Rome, within the 4th-5th century AD. During their time of slavery they also spoke a mixure of English and the other languages of their captors. But, once they regained their freedom, they banned all foreign languages in the entire British isle, and adopted their native English language (which was then 40% local and 60% foreign language) just as Pidgin is today. The year was 1362 and it was only then that English became an official language. Therefore, what we learn today as English is just a standardized creole language like Pidgin!!.

When our eyes open to our stupidity, we will ban English in our lands and pay attention to our native languages. Many Asian nations who were also colonized had already made that change.

My people, open your eyes!. English was not originally an official language!!. It became an official language only in 1362!!!.

but same pidgin is not our language, it was the English our forefathers spoke as they were not to fluent in English, that's why it is called broken English.
So somehow, we still have to come down to the english

This type of topic should be deleted by the moderators as its promoting slavery. English is not our language!!. It is a language forced down the throats of our ancestors when we were slaves, and as such, you shouldn't be proud speaking it.

Some of you often ask; what were our ancestors doing to have been enslaved? What they were doing is the same thing you're doing today when you promote English language or feel proud speaking it.

Our native languages are now in a sorry state, some under threat of extinction, while we're busy fooling around promoting English. I regret to have learned to speak English in school. I wish I invested all that time studying Igbo language and one other Nigerian language, like Yoruba or Hausa. If I could go back to school I'll invest my time studying our native languages.
Your point is well understood.
But do you know I won't understand you at all if you type all these in Igbo language, Hausa or Yoruba language, as I am not from any of those three.
My brother, if a calabar man types his own, we may read till night o.
I believe we shouldn't forget our language, but English remains the unifying language we speak to understand one another. We have too many tribes in Nigeria

Oarfish normally feed on crustaceans and are unlikely to be able to find them in shallower waters.

All the ones sighted are either dead or dying

Pictured is the 18-foot-long oarfish found dead in the water off Catalina Island near Los Angeles in October 2013.

It's only in Nigeria graduates are expected to be tailors, hairdressers, market women and casava farmers and we clap n call it innovation.
If I wanted to be any of these I wouldn't have to waste my time studying Medicine, Law, Engineering, Accounting ........ That's why we have professions classified based on skill level 1,2 or 3 and Unskilled

Let's talk about becoming Entrepreneurs in our field of study through gaining work experience and Not celebrating the fact that our Graduates are becoming Trades men and women, Carpenters, welders, taxi drivers and in fact puff Puff sellers. Our parents were never handed those kind of jobs after graduation in their days. I was told they had 2 good offers to choose from with a car gift.

Wrong for him to give the money, and wrong for the church to accept it.

Living faith better pay up

Modifed: This is a response to Glorifiedtunde....and to anyone who is defending this wrong deed...

When Jesus called out to people to come and follow him, they did...and were changed. Yes...something happened to the people that Jesus called. They were called out of sin, and called into the Light that is in the world. Zaccheus returned his stolen money. Saul went from being a persecutor of the Church to being a champion of the Church. Peter went from being a scared person to being a champion of the Cross.

This story shows that the Nigerian Church, here represented by Living faith has a problem. People are joining Living faith....and are not being changed. This Army Officer joined Living Faith. If God had changed him, he won;t have been this corrupt. That he is a member of Living faith, and his faith is ''dead'' shows that there is something wrong with the message that Church is preaching.

Of course, this may be the way God is exposing sinners in the church...like he did for Ananias and Sapphira....and like he did for Achan in Joshua's day. As Christians...we should not let sin in....or Sin's master Satan will follow and set up house, and mess us up.

But this is not the first time. Today, we have many people in churches...not just Living faith, but in Believers Loveworld, RCCG, Deeper life, CAC, Apostolic Faith, yes even Anglican, Roman Catholic, Cherubim and Seraphim.....even Adventists and Jehovah's witnesses....who all claim to be following Christ...and yet are not reflecting Jesus in their attitudes and their lives. We have Christians today who lie, cheat, steal, are tribalists, vandalise other people's property, bear false witness, hate their enemies, call for violence against unbelievers and so on. This shows that the Church is not doing its work well at all. We don't have followers of Christ....we have followers on.

The name Christian came about because in a town called Antioch in what is now Syria nearly 2000 years ago, people looked at this strange and interesting group of people and noted that they all reflected Christ. Hence the name Christian. But here in Nigeria it has become a label. We carry our church membership the way the world supports football teams or fashion labels, we look holy on Sunday....and on every day of the week, we act and behave like Lucifer's brightest recruits.

Time the Church of God in Nigeria woke up. We must return to our first love. We must take up our crosses and nudus nudum Christum sequi
Well said, in fact over said.
He may think he is paying tithe, because the way our pastors preach tithe ehn, they even tell unemployed people to pay tithe, and you ask yourself, from which income?
This will simply make prostitutes, armed robbers and kidnappers feel they should pay tithe.

!!!!!!!!!! The Minister for youths and sports Dulang today invited me to his office *to conclude plans with BoI* officials. After waiting for over 3 hours, i & 6 members of the LOC went to remind his PA that we were still waiting when a white man identified as an ambassador just came in & was ushered in. I asked the PA why & the police behind me hit me in the head with the butt of his gun & the other police hit me forcefully in my back.

Your sister has no job I guess. She saw a man that is financially OK and married him. Your sister never knew what attracted her to the man will also attract other girls to the man.

Who is paying the bills? Your sister or the husband? How much is your sister contributing to home upkeep? Maybe nothing. So why is she complaining? Is the man collecting money from her to sleep with those girls? Is he not meeting your sister's needs? Oh, your sister wants to have the man and all his money to herself, right?

She knew and saw everything before getting married

We have deeper life people on camp ground regularly, they are to put on the trouser which is part of the uniform, but when it comes to *some* Muslims adhering to the uniform we seem to have trouble, which shouldn't be.
Some will claim it is Islam, but can you capture such people during int'l passport process like that?

It is quite unfortunate that majority of you would come here and start talking nonsense. You accused a man of embezzlement and up till this moment all you do is read out figures on the pages of newspapers. If you have any fact that Jonathan is corrupt, please stop this nonsense and go get him. It is more outrageous when youths who ought to know better are joining this old foolish men everyday. There is a popular say that silence is the best answer for a fool. This is why I respect Jonathan. He didn't bother himself because he knows he will be joining the league of fools. I will rather have a corrupt Jonathan with sound economic team than these show of shame we called government.

For crying out loud, it will be 2 years since this government came in and what we hear everyday is this same old story. It is a failure that complain like this. I just think the North knew Jonathan has known everything about the north as regards Niger Delta resources. Don't kill yourself because of these people. They don't care about you. That's the fact.

Haba, these politicians shouldn't play us all for fools na.
Those supporting this blame game, have you ever seen the senators, governors and house of rep members complain about their salaries?
It simply means this admin doesn't have a plan, we are not the only oil producing nation facing recession, but we are the only one still blaming the past admin for good 1yr and 9months.
