Are you ready, Grammar Genius? Both ingenious and ingenuous are adjectives. Ingenious indicates cleverness or intelligence, while ingenuous refers to sincerity or a naive nature.

How To Use Ingenious

When you say ingenious out loud, it sounds like a combination of the words in and genius. Since a genius is an intelligent person, you can use that part of the word to associate ingenious with intelligence. You can use the word to describe things you think are really smart ideas, like “What an ingenious design!” It’s also great for describing smart people: “She’s an ingenious designer.”

How To Use Ingenuous

Ingenuous is a little trickier, but its pronunciation can still help you determine its meaning. While genuous isn’t actually a word on its own, it sounds very similar to genuine. Genuine, like ingenuous, refers to sincerity or authenticity.

While ingenious is fairly common, ingenuous isn’t used as much in writing or speech these days. You can use it to mean sincere, candid, or free from reserve. It’s also another way of saying naive or unsophisticated.

The Difference Between Genius and Ingenious

Despite both relating to intelligence, genius and ingenious aren’t interchangeable. Genius refers to a high level of intelligence, while ingenious refers to being clever or inventive. Another key difference is that genius is a noun, while ingenious is an adjective.

One source of confusion is the prefix in-, which often negates the word it precedes. For example, the word incapable means not capable. In that case, shouldn’t ingenious mean not genius? Not necessarily. The Latin prefixes un- (not) and en-(toward or within) have different meanings. English uses both of these, plus the prefix in- which can be a substitute for either one.

Ingeniousness is a characteristic of genius, so those considered geniuses are also ingenious. However, ingeniousness alone isn’t evidence of genius.

There's 2nd mainland bridge

There's Eko, Carter and 3rd mainland bridge. Stop disgracing yourself.

It's called 3rd because it's the third bridge and not named after anyone or any place.

Because it's called third so automatically there's a 1st and 2nd mainland bridge. Kikikiki you make me laugh. You obviously aren't from Lagos.

You may already know that Nigeria is the largest black nation in the world and the most populous nation in Africa.

You may already know that Nigeria has great dependency on crude oil, plus all the other opinions of David Cameron. Here are 20 unpopular facts about Nigeria.

1. Are you aware that all over the world Nigerians are setting the pace and becoming the standard by which others measure themselves? Do you know??

2. In the US, Nigerians are the most educated immigrant community. Type it into Google and you'll see it. Not one of the most educated, the most educated.

3. 60% of Nigerians in the US have college degrees. This is far above the American national average of 30%.

4. Nigerians in US are one of the highest earners, typically earning 25% more than the median US income of $53k.

8. The World's fastest supercomputer was designed by a world renowned inventor and scientist, Philip Emeagwali, a full-blown Nigerian whose patency was awarded in 2015. This means Nigeria has the patency to the world's fastest computer: a Black Nigerian.

9. The wealthiest Black man and woman on earth are Nigerians, Aliko Dangote and Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija. Both have no trace of criminal record of any kind.

10. South Africa couldn't have ended apartheid & achieved Black rule if not for the leadership role Nigeria played.

11. Of the 3 South African Presidents who ruled after apartheid, two of them once lived in Nigeria under asylum.

We gave financial support, human support, boycotted an Olympics and our politicians, musicians and activists campaigned relentlessly.

12. Nigeria spent over $3 Billion and lost hundreds of soldiers to end the wars in both Liberia and Sierra Leone which the world ignored because they have no oil.

18. The first television station in Africa was NTA Ibadan (1960) long before Ireland has their RTE station.

=========

Wherever you look in this great country, Nigeria, heroes abound both now and in our recent and ancient past.

If all you do is listen to mainstream Western media, you'll not get the full picture of your Nigerian heritage.

Do not listen to any leader who says Nigerians are criminals, no matter who he is, or his height and position.

We're not a nation of scammers, drugs & corruption, but a people with a verifiable track record of greatness.

==========

Here is what CNN, BBC, Aljezeera and western media will not tell you about Nigerians:

19. On the 7th May, 2016 at Howard University in Washington D.C history was made. Out of 96 graduating Doctor of Pharmacy candidates, 43 of them were Nigerians and out of 27 awards given, 16 went to Nigerians.

They will only tell you how Nigerians are scammers and cheats, how Nigerians are into drugs overseas et al.

If you don't blow your trumpet, no one will blow it for you. VIVA NAIJA!!!

20. There are over 180,000,000 Nigerians world over and only less than 250,000 of this figure have traceable criminal records. This is about 0.14% of our entire national population in the last 20 years: nothing close to 1%. Shame on global media!

Listen GREAT Nigerian; DON'T let anybody woo you into believing that you are a criminal just because you are a Nigerian. Nigerians are NOT criminals. You are NOT a criminal. You are topnotch; second to none around the world. Be proud of Nigeria wherever you go. Take out your Passport with pride. Be proud of our GREEN HERITAGE. Be enthusiastic of our FUTURE GREATNESS #Celebrate Your Nigerianness!

NIGERIA: GREAT NATION, GOOD PEOPLE!!!!

Trash

It's a trailer load of bull shit

you no holy pass

GodsMopol:
What's Kingdom, your view

I am not here for defining kingdom, we'll only derail.

Those men don't know God.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying!!!

GodsMopol:
Looool, well, I was expecting your definition of Kingdom, at least, that could have been enough you know, if you really have something to say. I have come across your post and the nature of criticism that goes with it, but I need to check, cause it seems Atheists had gained more or so much ground in here.

I'm no Atheist I believe in Christ Jesus and he is greater than all religions put together (Christian Religion and all of the rest).

No need to check, hear it from me "I HATE religion (especially, the Christan religion + Islam. All forms of religion)"

"I LOVE Jesus" He is the only thing matters. He matters more than any form of religion. the Koko.

It's Jesus or nothing

GodsMopol:
Jesus defined the Kingdom of God in many ways, but lemme just add that, poverty is not in the kingdom of God.

Lemme define the Kingdom for you,

KINGDOMis derived from two words, KING and DOMinion, King means you are submissive to Jesus, you make Him the Lord of your life. Meaning you have no say over your life, well, this is a sermon if you see it as one. Make Jesus your Lord, *winks*. Yea, dominion means reign or zone or reach of the King.

So if you ask me, is any of those listed Pastors having Jesus as their Lord, well, I can't speak for them, but I think the answer is yes. And you can't judge that based on their acquisition. Moreso, dominion, does Christ reign over them or have supremacy over them, evidently the answer I would be tempted to give you is yes, so if they have fulfilled the Requirements of first laying hold on the Kingdom, I believe other things should show forth, well, you could tell me what the Bible said or meant by other things and more so, what He might have meant by Kingdom of God

What a trailer load of bull crap.

These men aren't men of God. Take it or leave it. You know what you know, I know what I know.

When someone tries to let y'all know that these men are criminals, y'all will think someone is against being rich, or that I'm poor. Me I'll leave you with this.

"By their fruit you shall know them."

Keep fighting for them you hear. Fight on.

Shallom

GodsMopol:
What's your definition for praising money, cause I've not heard them praise money.

I believe riches is good, and they have every single right to acquire and amass wealth, just don't allow the money to take first place. The Bible said, seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and every other things should be made secondary

Do you know what the Kingdom is? If only you know.

Akwasi:
Enough OBJ! You are expected to be a statesman and not the vessel to divide.

;DIPOB IS MAKING IGBOLAND LIES AND ILLITERACY HEADQUARTERS OF THE WORLD
Igbos are worried over the rate of Ipob ''supporting'' online rag sheets with headlines craftily woven to feed Ipobeasts' pipe dream of starting a country in Igboland. As soon as the menacing,sectional messages of Nnamdi gained traction among Igbo thieves whores,baby merchants,illiterate traders and armed robbers,raking in millions for the con artist turned self-styled Biafra King,other idle and weak brained Igbos joined the fray,publishing bizarre lies not fit to be told an embryo. So good is the fictional news business that even a yoruba dude joined in and made good money by publishing lies Ipobeasts love to hear. The more ridiculous,the better.
"Trump endorse Ipob"
"Trump gives Buhari 24 hours to release Kanu"
"Britain say they love Kanu"
" Fed Govt beg Kanu to collect 900b and forget Biafra"
"Kanu beats warders and make them drink urine".
Led by Igbere tv, an online toilet,headed by a fraud,Ipob will take any new

Wait, wait

I've never mentioned poverty as a criterion for making heaven. I wish they could only stop praising money.

Simple fire extinguisher could have averted this inferno. I don't know why most super markets do not have fire extinguishers. Nigerians lack safety culture

If you try to advice them on safety, they will start treating you as if you're the one they sent to come say their business.

Oyind17:
is God not the richest of the richest? Ist wrong to be wealthy or blessed serving God, who gives the power to create wealth, ist not God? Ist not his promise to bless his faithful stewards? Is Abraham the father of many nations poor, did not him make heaven, does God not love him? Bro search your bible very well. Poverty will not help you to make heaven but might tempt you to fall from faith. In as much as there are rich Pastors there are also poor men of God. I refuse to be poor, and reject poverty in all its existence, son of the richer than the richest that I am. Praise the Lord.

I'm not for poverty, acquire wealth so as to help the poor amongst you.

The truth is truth whether you like it or not.

I have passed my message shikena.

Don't be poor but don't make money centre of your message.

Y'all gonna be shocked and y'all gonna remember.

Goodbye. E go be
