Pidgin2:


Americans, British, Canadians, Australians speak good English, take a look at where these countries are in major world ranking, meanwhile of all the places where Hausa is predominantly spoken, where are they in any major world ranking?

Of cause Hausa is important too but it is almost a crime to rate the language at per with English.

No one said you shouldn't speak Hausa, all we are saying is that undermining English language as it is being done in the North is a recipe for backwardness and disunity in Nigeria

I am attacking this issue based on the angle deployed.

Why did you omit China, Japan, India, Russia, South Korea, Singapore and a host of other countries where English isn't their first language?

My major concern, as most you opined, is that English is the yardstick and prerequisite for success, intelligence and smartness and I dare say YOU ARE WRONG on that one.

Ask yourself how did China move from 3rd world to become first world? Right now, if China sneezes, even America will catch cold because they produce most of the gadget that you lots claim as "Made In America"

In indian, they still teach in hindu, same for Japan, China,Korea.
Are we better than any of these countries in terms of science and technology advancement?

Nusaf:


And the annoying thing is that they don't even speak English. Is it not pidgin they speak everywhere? Is pidgin English? Do you need to go to school to understand pidgin? Do the Americans and English understand pidgin? I have stayed in Delta and Rivers states, is it not pidgin they speak on the streets? Go to any of these Eastern states, u will hear different versions of pidgin and that is what they call English.

Hmmm

The truth of the matter is we have lost our identity as africans in the most foolish way. Chinese don't speak good English. The person they were even mocking on her speak far better English than most Chinese. But look at them. They more advanced than us.

Pidgin2:


Totally off point and not worthy of a response

yeah... so says the same person who brought the "American History" into discussion.

Pidgin2:


I'm sure you'll say the Americans are pathetic too, English is not their original language, it's the language of their colonial masters which they adopted. They must be pathetic too.

The people who who currently occupy what is called America are THIEVES from europe. They stole the land by over powering American Indians, many of whom were killed.

The only people I can say are left are those of Hawaiian Extract.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States

Over a month ago, there was a war between Mark Zuckerberg and the Hawiians as they decried age long stealing of their land and they call those whom you claim to be Americans as WHITE. In their own words "These whites..." I was on facebook reading their comments and I could understand their sentiments and feel their pains.

Majority of them (Hawaiians) spoke in their mother tongue and in wrote in their mother tongue.

So madam, the real Americans are American Indians.

Pidgin2:


By re-evaluating ourselves, do you mean speaking and typing in your mother tongue to the detriment of others who are not from your tribe?

OK, start typing in your local language and see if you will get a response from me. For your information, Chinese speak one general language, we on the other had have over 250 tribes so which language should we speak that will unite all of us?


You should be worried about the level of illiteracy in this country not trying to tell me that most people speak English which is a blatant lie. Go to the streets of any state in the North and tell me whether it's not English that is being endangered.

The problem here is lack of patriotism, if Brazil accepted Portuguese language, and Mexico accepted Spanish, what makes you feel like it's an abomination to accept English which is supposed to unify us? I'm not concerned about your tribe here, I'm talking about our count, which language would should we try to preserve more, is it not the one which strengthens our unity?

Like the wise people say often, it seems Nigeria exists only on paper as we all appear to be tribalists but in my opinion, I think the Northerners make things worse by not even trying.

This issue here is that you all were expending too much energy on his English and that was why he became defensive rather than taken correction because he perceived you were mocking him (rather than helping him)and what you lots saw as arrogance is the result of your action on him.

Newton 3rd law of motion states that to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Technically, what he wrote isn't even as BAD as what lots of Chinese do write and you would be lying if you tell me you couldn't pick an atom of sense or idea from what he wrote. So what's fuss about?

You left his question which needed an answer(s) and were massaging you muscles on his weakness.

And like he rightly pointed, being able to write in good English does not make anyone smarter or intelligent and most of the English professors on here proved him RIGHT!


Even the whites have gone out of their way learning spanish, mandarin(Mark Zuckerberg speaks mandarin fluently), Hindu and many more. Make una dey here dey form prof.

Plaintainboy:
The OP asked a simple question in a comprehensible language and instead of keeping quite or oferring answers, every one is all about his grammar. Only naive and inexperienced people attach this level of value to English. We were taught English in school so what? Germans were taught English in school too yet most of the speak very poor English, same for the Chinese, Russians and a host of them. Quit making unnecessary fuss displaying your ignorance in the process, its not a must to comment. Your primary language is the most important language any other one is secondary.

God bless you. I didn't even see this before I commented on same position. It's pathetic that we strive so much to be more English than an English man.

Pidgin2:


Hausa may be your language but i'm sure you were given the opportunity to study English in school for easy communication with other tribes. This is why people don't like you guys, you have refused to be flexible, you don't want to learn and accept things that will unify this country.

How can you eat your cake and have it at the same time? You want to benefit from oil(which is okay) but you don't want to coexist (accept things that will unify us all). The ball is in your court, if you don't accept others you will keep meeting hostility everywhere you go (unfortunately)

Let's promote Nigerian unity

bros, with all DUE respect, that guy understand his IDENTITY than you. You are an African and you should be proud of IT than any borrowed culture from the west.

We should be more concerned about our IDENTITY as Africans, please.

This where Chinese and Indians have refused to let the western culture erode their IDENTITY. In china, many of whom I have communicated with, can hardly string good English words together but you and I know they are far SMARTER than our over fed English professors in Nigeria and they have millions of proof to show for it.

Because of this stupid reasoning, there is an increasing generation of people who can't speak nor understand their dialect.

We need to re-evaluate ourselves seriously.

yedidiah:
DSS are not even intelligent at all. They should have quietly invited him to clarify himself first. If he refuses, then you can gat a warrant of arrest. Now they have spoilt the whole thing from the onset.

I wonder why they keep acting like the NPF. There is certainly nothing intelligent about how they have been approaching matters in this country. Infact, they are no different from other remote-controlled Government agencies.


Meanwhile, I hope all those claiming that the herdmen are from neighboring countries as well as those saying the herdmen are the victims will also be invited to explain themselves.

The war you people are drumming will come faster than you never imagined. They should arrest him for mere "talk" yet those killing innocent lives have NEVER been arrested. Don't worry, when your family member become a victim of helpless circumstances leading to maiming, death and destruction, you will understand what it feels like to be unjustly annihilated.

You think people are fools?

LordofNairaland:


They are celebs, my friend. Their acts and behavior is news. However, I will be the last person to be seen running over any so called celeb like this. I like to mind my own business. But to think people should mind their business in this type of situation is rather unthinkable. Yesterday, I read that Blac Chyna had a rage. I am sure she was not the only one that had a rage. But she is a celeb so we get to hear hers or for some people to speak about hers (what you call poke nosing).

Yeah. It's sad sha... I don't know though but I don't see these people as extra-ordinary. I see them as every other person off the street. May be cause I don't worship people or value them more than the humans they are.

Smellymouth:


Bruh, it is not only in Nigeria..It happens everywhere..

Trolls are everywhere..The more you attack them, the more you feed them.

The best way to handle them? Ignore... There were also peeps that made good comments abt the lady, why not reply them instead of the troll?

Yeah. Right.

Nigerians should learn to stop poking nose on celebs life. The joblessness and idleness in this country make them misplace their priorities and we wonder why this country isn't moving?

Ymodulus:

And you are happy?

I really do not seem to understand our youths these days. You just graduated and the first thing you settled for is a job of N30,000 / mONTH?

Sorry bro no offence, do you plan to grow in life? What will N30,000/Month do for you?

Have you put into consideration monthly expenses?

There are vocational jobs you can do and get that amount in a day. So why settle for less? Bro not everything is a blue collar job. Get your hands dirty ( farm or do menial jobs if it pays you well ).

i have 5 persons ready to pay me 25k each right now after making a post on facebook yesterday. One just told me he was willing to start yesterday. When we talk about these things people think it's not possible.

BTW, come finish Bitcoin tutorial baba. Na so so sticker u dey send me.

Bro, if u want me to pay for your knowledge, let me know. I will pay.

Let's take rheumatism for instance.

You create a website ( landing page), to sell the products, talk about the benefits and how to order.

You can visit sunnewslonline to see similar website at the bottom of every article.

Some of those guys are my friends and they are killing it!

You might have to learn how to create such websites though, upload it to servers and have them work for you.

It works like this website+product+ traffic from ads = sales.

Rinse and repeat.

Drive some mad traffic to it and make sales. It's not gonna be an easy thing to accomplish because i believe everything I am saying is very greek and that's why that brother said I am not making sense.

Of course I don't have to make sense because the world I am used to is very different from what most you are used to.

I used to be bookworm, wanting to work in the corporate world but something changed about me along the line. My closest school mate still find it hard to believe I could change so much that disregard education. He still tells me he can't believe it.

Well, change is the only constant thing in life.

hello Ipain Pls I Need Working Ideas, Plans Nd Suggestions On How To Make At List 2m In 2017 With A 60k Salary

can you save as much as 140k?

If yes, you can start by selling physical products in the health niche that solves problems, using facebook ads to promote same products and within first month you should double that, re-invest whatever comes out into the next month. Keep doing it through out the year and you will make more than the 2M you target. There might be some ups and downs though.

This is actually what I plan to do in 2017 cos I know someone who did 25M.

I am just waiting to get back to my base, finish my office and FOCUS!

Product delivery is handled by courier companies.

Hello Nairalander and romance landers,

I come in peace and today, no bashing or midehi2 or any lady for that matter.

I am posting this here even though it does not belong here. This because it is something that affects all of us--money.

This thread is also borne due to a thread by a brother who mentioned is age, paid tithe and earn 45k per month.

At one point, I saw someone celebrating N-power 30k per month payment and it was here on nairaland.

30,000 ÷30 days = 300 naira/ day.

What if you could make 10 X that amount?

One fast way is to sell valuable knowledge in exchange for money.

For instance I budgeted 70k for my 5 days stay when I travel and to be honest, I spent it already. I wanted to recoup the money.

I didn't want to touch money in my account. Today, I decided to teach a few persons what I know and within few hours, I had 4 persons willing to pay me 25k each in exchange for my knowledge.

How much is that? 100k. I may likely get more than that as facebook alert my friends and if I decide to tag those with more friends on their list, I will get up to 200k or more just to teach.

Education is a money spinner. So if you know anything, teach and earn.

All I did was to post on my facebook wall.

Why are they interested? Because most of my friends on there are business minded folks.

That's why I told that brother who earns 45k and felt like an under-achiever to change the kind of friends he hung out with and also try to learn NEW things.

Now, there are other guys who are better at making quick bucks.

We need to embrace new ways of doing things, use technology and accept new ideas.

Add more source of income to your current one. With the internet, you can actually have as much as 3 source of income if you know what you are doing.

I just felt like sharing something and give someone an idea that they can earn more than 30k-45k. I have to be honest, that amount isn't something I can ever be happy on cos I have done some crazy shiits than that.

So people, you can be more and do more come 2017.

Merry Xmas to you all in advance.

Bitchh, yahoo boy forked your brains so bad you can't even take correction. How could you know the right spelling when you roll with dudes who are less educated, drop outs and scam people for living and you defend them on nairaland.

Bitch, how much would you pay for schooling you without forking you?

Roll with educated dudes like moi and your life will be upgrade because right now, you seem to roll with yahoo boys, many of whom can't even spell.

Midehi2, defender of yahoo boys. What a befitting title huh

midehi2:

Do i need to battle words with this crap, oh no! too classic for infant, my dear find your level, i have better things to deal with

less i forget, its like you dont know what 'chao' means, pls use google and stop crowding my mentions.

biitcch... it's "Classy" not Classic.

It's "lest" and not less and finally it's "Ciao" which is Italian word for goodbye and not chao.

Bitchh needs to upgrade her spelling.

lagosrd:
So, the next time a friend comes to you and says “Dude, I am working on a part time business for additional income” and talks about such Multi Level Marketing schemes, explain these concepts to him on a piece of paper and advise him also to stay away from such schemes. Losing money is bad, losing friendship is worse and being part of a fraudulent system is the worst

You don't know what MMM is. There is a difference between multi level marketing and HYIP. MMM is HYIP and not MLM.

If you join a reputable MLM company, you enjoy massive wealth.

adexsimply:
Ayam not understanding, are you one of the useless girls he was referring to?

she definitely is one of those who depend on men for her upkeep. It's very obvious. That was how midehi2 took the yahoo boy thread personal. Why? Because she forks them for a living.

dovelike:

My friend zzzziip it. Are you any better than the so called useless girls?

it seems your name is "useless girl" why do you feel pained by his words? Better be independent like the girl in the pic and men will respect you.
