They vs The.

This vs these

THEY is a pronoun while
THE is an article

THIS is a singular. For instance, This is my boy.
THESE is the plural form of THIS. For instance, These are my boys.

IamZod:
So If I say "Who am I speaking with?
And Whom am I speaking with?

Which of the two are grammatically correct?

Who am I speaking with? --this is preferable if you haven't had the caller's contact saved before.

Whom I am speaking with? --this shows that you have the caller's contact saved already, but you ain't sure of the person you're speaking with at that moment on the phone because they're above one person on the call.

Kobicove:
I completely agree with you...it's so disheartening to find that even well educated people in Nigeria make these mistakes and they refuse to accept correction!

Majority of them kill their brain with abbreviations, they're too fond of abbreviating even where not necessary.

shadrach77:
Please stop all this nonsense! Who has English helped? People in England don't even bother so much about correct grammar like we do. English is not our mother tongue. Let's concentrate more on making our country a better place

It's not nonsense sir.
The English people can't bother themselves because it's their language and they know it, aside, how sure are you that they ain't bothering themselves about it? they too learn English in school.
Besides, nowadays, English HAS BECOME the ONLY language that the world communicate with.

DanielsParker:
"I see him everyday". This is present continuous .
what if you usually see him everyday but not anymore?
can you express that in a past tense?

Then the USED becomes useful.

Take the bull by the horn, take your financial status to another level.
see full details below...

Get out! You're not more than a professional beggar.
Why do you still need small money when you've been winning big and even when you can still win big as you claimed. Go and apply for sense.

SirGoldEjike:
Yes its actually 2000, internet charges 1000, past question 1500, Past question that i didnt even get to collect, is the result out?

And what is the difference?
Was the #2,500(internet charges & past questions) optional?
was it not mandatory?

lilcutie8916:
men you stupid

Imagine a nonentity like you still referring to someone extremely sensible than you as idiot! No doubt, you're insane!

Thank you.

Would you easily allow your child go if he told you he was tired of you being his mother?

Not too good.

smh The zoo is beyond repairs

A country you still live in, a country you still feed in, calling it a zoo makes you an animal living in the zoo.

opomulero101:
I have nothing to say,but wat is d essence of d POLICE force(SARS&MOPOL).

Arrest, Torment and Shoot innocent citizens. Nigeria Police has become a crazy force.

Tolexander:
The army is rendering our police useless and restricting them to "wetin u carry" alone.

Seems the government is trying to tell the police force that they are useless.

The Police of Nigeria already ridiculed themselves.

I wonder the kinda operation that will be aimed at containing the Herdsmen atrocities.
Meanwhile, that's still okay at least to alleviate kidnapping there.

Nukilia:
That is the American product Obama and his crazy crooks created. Stupid

Sincerely, Obama is a curse and shame to Africa.
He legalized Lesbianism and Gay but he never married a male like him.
He legalized Transgender, yet, he never changed to the opposite sex.

kogistar:
na Igbo lady

Bible says "Behold, old things are passed away", but you still exhibit that old craziness.

PearlStreet:
May God format the demented skulls of those in your collapsing house who failed to tie you up properly and allowed you roam the cybersphere, disgracing your lineage.

Saying you sound like a fool is a comforting statement because you're a fool and a total nonentity.

PearlStreet:
No space for criminals in the SW.

They can all divert to Biafra where they have people like Bishop of Ozubulu, Evans the kidnapper, Osisikanwu the armed robber who was given a chieftaincy title.

They adopt misfits like FFK, Fayose, Kemi Olunloyo (Ada Biafra) and loud-mouthed pigs like Asari.

nototribalist:
Afonjas are terrorist, backstabbers. Imagine Afonjas hiding their fellow fugitives

You two are extremely sick and completely infected with tribal-war deadly Trojan horse.
I pray God format the two of you to factory settings!

NegeduGrace:
Something is very very wrong with her but she don't know..

You mean she DOESN'T know!

Okay

Do you want peace then prepare for war we make war so as to live in peace

Idiot like you may not even be in that South East now but sit online to type like one who has extra live.

If the exchanges on social media over a statement allegedly credited to the North Korean news service is anything to go by, then it must be addressed according to its nuisance value. The twitter handle representing the news medium of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK) Has accused “Nigerians” of mocking their leader Kim Jong-Un, insisting that further attacks on their leader’s personality will attract “heavy price”.
As we await the official response of the Korean Government, it is pertinent to tease out some issues, first would the DPRK be that foolish to call a sovereign state like Nigeria “impudent people” and in addition to that threaten to unleash “heavy price” on the country if we do not refrain from “mocking” their supreme leader? The twitter handle @DPRK-news is yet to make public how they arrived at a conclusive statistics that Nigerians “are mocking their exalted leader”. They are yet to let the world know the exact classification of what actually amounts to enemy action in the alleged war of words on social media.
If the twitter is not officially managed by the authoritarian government of Jong-Un, then it must be managed by an individual who believe so much in the capability of his or her country delivering “heavy Price” to a country of “impudent people” like Nigerians. Interestingly, no free speech is allowed in DPRK, meaning the twitter handler must have had the blessings of authority. Regardless of who is exuding the bad energy coming from Korea, it is pertinent to intimate that it is not a good signal, especially as the country is beginning to think itself beyond its actual worth in dosage of aggression instead of wealth of humanity.
Sadly, our minister of information, Alhaji lai Mohammed does not have any social media account. He is not on any cyber based conversation and may only know of this threat as a second hand information consumer otherwise he is expected to have reacted on behalf of government to address the impudence of the twitter handler over temerity of the DPRK government. The warning is awkward, barbaric and insulting. It lacks any energy of merit or basis of facts. Its only valid underscore is premised on the fact that DPRK is seeking desperately where to unleash their sting of poisonous weapon with what may appear like a worthy altercation.
We may recall that North Korea has conducted six (6) nuclear tests in 2006, 2009, twice in 2016 and 2017. According to their local media, the last test of hydrogen bomb was a “perfect success”. The range of the nuclear war heads is not much of a problem as they are designed to reach destinations they are programed to go. It therefore mean they can deploy one of their bombs with terrifying result on Nigerians. The United States and DPRK relations have broken down on account of the nuclear race headed by the Jong-Un leadership. With the recent threat on Nigeria, it is clear why United Nations do not appreciate such technology to fall into the wrong hands.
The tremendous power of a nuclear bomb, the temperament of its holder and the quest to be on the news is what makes the tactless comment of the DPRK news twitter more than just a passing diarrhea of the finger. For a man who was alleged to have killed his uncle, feeding him to the dogs, he was also alleged to have killed his step brother with a chemical weapon amongst so numerous allegations of extra judicial killings, it is indeed very dangerous to have rough tackles with him. If one should add his disposition to summary decision on peoples lives, and his cravings for weapon of mass destruction, it is suggestive of his inclination towards provoking the worst war of global reckoning.
Kim Jong-Un can place his devious sights at any country of his choice regardless of distance. He won’t waste time building horrible bombs without having intentions to use them. Why the choice of Nigeria is what is hard to make out, but what is most important for now is to be loud enough for other superpowers to wrangle the hydra headed monster who may be stronger than estimated. This is the time for Nigerian government to investigate the authenticity of the social media warning, preparatory for Nigeria to raise alarm to alert the world of the craze of the power dazed Jong-Un.

Jolar101:
You are talking nonsense.

IPOB using only mouths to demanding referendum not with gun.


Simply because IPOB's plans to boycotting elections in Biafraland, that's why politicians conniving with chief of army staff with the help of Buhari deploying assault teams to southeast that were no violence during agitations.

We all aware how Buhari's government deployed armed security forces to intimidated anti government protesters.

Deployment of troops to peaceful region to killing unarmed agitators and civilians including intimidating women at the markets is act of terrorism and war crimes against innocent agitators/protesters.

#WEWillNotVoteInNigeriaElections.

Soldiers have been on street even before Buhari took over.
Go to any part of the country, be it North or South West, South East not excluded.
I'm sure Igbo soldiers are part of soldiers deployed there, I know very well they wouldn't love to willingly touch their brothers and sisters, that's if you think those soldiers on ground are harsh because they ain't igbo soldiers.
Soldiers I know will not harm you except if first harmed.

[quote author=Knowledge9000 post=60479039][/quote]Excuse me, Very certain you don't know the value of peace, likewise, you don't know what is called war/unrest.
Go to Syria, Mali, Somalia, Libya... in fact, go to nearby Borno state or any side of the north east... you can as well ask older ones around you who experience the Nigeria Civil War then.
Search online if war has any advantage at all.
If after knowing about war and you still clamour for war, then, I wonder what kinda person you are.
War does not being joy, it brings pain.

Until Nigeria stopped being Nigeria, Nigeria remain one.
