Foreign Affairs / Re: Trump Says Taylor Swift Will Pay A Price For Endorsing Kamala Harris by Hillarie(m): 5:52pm On Sep 11 |
Her endorsement might not really mean much. A very large percentage of her followers are under the voting age. Besides, if there is anything we learnt from the 2023 elections, it is the fact that celebrities' endorsements don't guarantee election victory. Politics no be Hollywood and Pop music game. 24 Likes 5 Shares |
Crime / Re: How Adeleye Ayomide Murdered Idowu Christianah & Buried Her by Hillarie(m): 10:49am On Sep 05 |
This is heartbreaking. I'm trying to imagine the mental state of the parents after learning that their own son is a mindless serial murderer. Then there are the victim's parents too. There is no way on earth that they'll ever forgive this bastard lowlife. And religious folks will say someone like this will make heaven when he repents. If that is true, I don't want to be in that kind of heaven. Tueh! Sometimes, I wish some of these savage, corporal punisments can be reserved for scums like this. Omo, this news just ruined my day. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: My Terrible Experience Applying For A High Paying Remote Job by Hillarie(m): 11:14am On May 06 |
OP, so sorry that you lost the job after putting in so much work. I'm particularly drawn to your story because we're almost in the same boat. Except I'm 8months into my M.A. programme and have lost all the will to grind for remote hustle. These days, I just find local gigs I can work on so as to survive and see my programme to the end. Don't beat yourself up too much, you'll get it right some day. Cheers! 2 Likes |
Education / Re: English Gurus Pls What Is The Answer To This ?? by Hillarie(m): 6:42am On May 03 |
triplechoice: First off, I'm not arguing with you. I'm only trying to share knowledge with you regarding this. Adverbs and adverbials modify verbs, correct. "Because she was drunk" in that sentence modifies the verb phrase "beats up" but it doesn't in anyway clarify the antecedent of "she". Also, "A father beat up his daughter because he was drunk " isn't the same kind of sentence because we know the pronoun "he" is clearly masculine and refers to the father and not the daughter here. However, "A father beat up his son because he was drunk" is more like it. It presents us with the case of ambiguity too. Meanwhile, consider this: The woman swept the room because it was dirty. Using your logic on this statement above, you're saying that "Because it was dirty" here modifies the verb "swept" which is, of course, correct. But does the "it" refer to "the woman"? Can you see that your explanation is completely flawed now? That statement by OP is a case of ambiguity. The speaker needs to either reframe the statement or add more information to disambiguate it. |
Education / Re: English Gurus Pls What Is The Answer To This ?? by Hillarie(m): 4:31pm On May 02 |
triplechoice: No, sir. Semantics doesn't work that way. It's an ambiguous sentence. That is to say that it can mean different things. While you're very correct about the adverbial clause modifying the verbal phrase "beat up", (even though it was erroneously written as "beats up" ) it still doesn't explain whether it's the mother who was drunk or the daughter. Read up on ambiguity in language. |
Education / Re: English Gurus Pls What Is The Answer To This ?? by Hillarie(m): 4:23pm On May 02 |
kings59: Well, while it is a cohesive and coherent sentence, this is a case of ambiguity. Unless the speaker gives further information, it is hard to tell whether it is the mother or the daughter that was drunk. |

Man, these are hard times in the country. It's so surprising that the youths aren't mustering same energy to protest this hardship like they did during Mohbad's demise. Talk about misplaced priorities. 43 Likes 2 Shares |
