Ochelyko1:
Oga u are really a bad teacher at a very least. U know for sure that twitting is not a dictionary word. So why didn't u use the right word for it from the beginning?

But still dat doesn't draw any meaning to what the subject matter said concerning Tinubu word of tweeting not ur own word twitting they are two different word and meaning.

TWITTING is a dictionary word bro

"Do you know how many of you, ~~tweeting~~[b]TWITTING on WhatsApp right now?"[/b]. This was his exact speech. Are you saying he meant "taunting on WhatsApp "? If yes, taunting who? Tinubu don cast already, don't cast with him please

God forbid it if it's the kind of education you're flaunting here. The appropriate vocabulary associated with social media is tweet. Tinubu got it wrong and quite frankly,with the quality of English he speaks currently, you can't expect anything less. Period.

You're practically forcing a mostly negative word like twit (blame, reproach, taunt) to fit into friendly terms and ordinarily àssociated with social media. Who are you fooling? Step of your pathetic high horse

God forbid these levels of illiteracy inherent in you.

The appropriate vocabulary for TWITTER and not general social media is TWEET.

However the appropriate vocabulary for ALL SOCIAL MEDIA WHEN IT COMES TO FUN BANTER IS TWIT.

Understand and know the difference and this was why Lexico clearly differentiated both. Read the attachment again and this time slowly since you appear slow on the uptake

You're sounding real stupid right now.

These are mere jargons associated with the youths.
Twitting is for twitter as chatting is for WhatsApp. Doesn't matter what you think dictionary says.

Tinubu has lost touch with reality

CHATTING is a generic act which can be done via any means be it written or orally.

Chatting is not an exclusive preserve to Whatsapp. How did you guys manage to pass through school with these abysmal levels of intelligence for God's sake?

TWEETING is for Twitter and not TWITTING.

TWITTING is a generic term for BANTER.

Chai nairaland truly has a lot of educated illiterates

TWITTING is very correct. Stop assuming he meant TWEETING simply because both words sound the same.

Contextually the term TWITTING ON WHATSAPP is very correct

Enskynelson:
Questions for you:
1. How did he conclude BAT meant twitting and not tweeting since both words are homophones?
2. From the sentence, do you meant BAT mean people were 'taunting' on WhatsApp? Which word do u think fits more to the meaning in the context of the video?

Why I owe that OP no apology is because I didn't even insult him like he did to the previous.

Since he referenced WHATSAPP then it's safe to say he was referring to TWITTING and not Tweeting. You guys are the ones confusing yourselves because of his use of the word TWITTING by assuming he meant TWEETING which is a word you are used to as a Twitter user.

However, TWITTING ON WHATSAPP is very correct same as TWITTING on Nairaland, TWITTING on Facebook, TWITTING via email, etc

Definition of the word TWITTING is to TEASE OR TAUNT SOMEONE ESPECIALLY IN A GOOD HUMOURED WAY.

It is not to TAUNT as an insult.

As a youth Just look at the nonsense you typed in the name of English but Tinubu is your problem despite his correct use of the word.

Correction: Nigeria BELONGS to the youths. Tinubu NO LONGER belongs to the youth

DesChyko:
The reason vocabulary building/register exists is to properly understand the contextual use of words.

If you're talking of social media, the most applicable word is tweeting. As simple as that. Let's stop finding excuses for Tinubu.

I'm 99.99% sure he meant tweeting, but the spelling got lost on a number of people.

Wrong.

If you are talking about TWITTER the apt word is TWEETING but if we are talking about simply playfully taunting and having fun conversations via ANY MEDIUM OF COMMUNICATION Then the word is TWITTING (TO TWIT) NOT TWEET

See the attached and notice that LEXICO clearly differentiated both.

First is TWIT
Second is TWEET

Get educated!

Enskynelson:
For the benefit of doubt, here is the dictionary meaning of TWEETing! You need to apologise to that OP you were insulting there.

Read the OP my friend. The word used there is TWITTING and not TWEETING.

You need to apologize to the person you said was wrong

TWITTING is a very correct grammatical expression as used by Tinubu.

One can TWIT via any means. In fact you and I are TWITTING via Nairaland right now.

It is not an exclusive Twitter thing

If the word used is TWITTING then Tinubu did not make any mistake because we can TWIT on Whatsapp or via SMS messaging or by email or even by word of mouth.

TWITTING simply means to Tease or taunt (someone), especially in a good-humoured way

It can be done via any means of communication and not specifically for Twitter.

If it was when Nnamdi Kanu was reigning on Radio Biafra by now he would have told his zombies that the ICC boss was sent by the Queen of England to arrest Buhari....

Hahahaha! Chai! Iberibe bu oria!

Nwanne Iberibe bu oria ehhhh.

Kanu is a prolific scammer. The guy invents formats via every situation and event.

He fingered the brains of his zombies so much so that they all believe the world revolves around Kanu.

If Buhari sneezes it is because of him
If Buhari shiiits it's because of him
Even the way and manner the ICC prosecutor shook the hand of Buhari Nnamdi Kanu would have found a way to say that the ICC prosecutor only shakes the hand of people like that if he is not pleased with them and it is a code to his Entourage that Buhari would be declared wanted and put on trial for taking away his basic human rights and his zombified minions would believe him grin

Foreign Affairs › India's Tata Steel Stops All Business With Russia. by Igbofam(op): 12:00am On Apr 21, 2022

Mumbai: Tata one of India’s best known brands globally, have cut business ties with Russia as the corporate fallout from the invasion of Ukraine spreads. On Wednesday, Tata Steel, which defines the heritage of the 154-year-old Tata conglomerate, said it has taken a “conscious decision to stop doing business with Russia”.

Previously, British sister concern Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) paused vehicle shipments to Russia citing “trading challenges”. JLR sold over 13,000 luxury vehicles in Russia last year. Tata Steel sourced raw materials, mainly coal, from Russia to produce the metal. “To ensure business continuity, all our steel manufacturing sites in India, the UK and the Netherlands have sourced alternative supplies of raw materials to end its dependence on Russia,” the company said.

India has not imposed any sanctions on Russia and has also not criticised its invasion of Ukraine. “The EU will end their business ties and our businesses in the UK and Netherlands are part of this decision,” Reuters reported, quoting a Tata Steel executive.

Last week, Infosys, India’s no.2 software services company, said it would move business out of Russia and pursue alternate options. Infosys employs less than 100 people in that country. Larger rival TCS — part of the Tata conglomerate — had said though it does not have any operations in Russia, it is helping clients maintain their business continuity plans as well as sees an opportunity to ramp up hiring in Eastern Europe, where it employs about 5,000 people. “A lot of people have migrated out of Ukraine to countries like Poland and Hungary. They are asking for jobs which gives us an opportunity to increase local hiring there,” TCS CEO Rajesh Gopinathan had said.

Sister concern Tata Power, which had bagged a mining licence for a thermal coal mine in Kamchatka province in Russia for $4.7 million in 2017, has recently applied for its cancellation.

A Nigerian man has wedded his secondary school classmate after dating her for twelve years, IGBERETV reports.

Twitter user @instruvoice_ who celebrated his union on his handle said he and his woman were "sit partners" while in secondary school.

The tweet read;
