In as much as I believe you're impartial you've been severly tainted with tribal war to be considered for the post!

I dare say only a foreigner can moderate this section. Its Mukina or no other Nigerian!

Your inferiority complex is going to kill you?
Would you rather have a foreigner as president too?

I'd rather have a Nigerian, than have some random African mod the politics section

We are Nigerians, we shouldn't be moderated by foreigner, especially a black person from SL for that matter
It is a shame how low we have come!

I say Mukina out, SEFAGO in!

SEFAGO:
Hey guys,

Do you know who I could contact to be a moderator?

I think I am suitable qualified having been on NL for quite sometime. I have been here since secondary school.

I deserve an NL Moderator position 

Genius like you should be inventing, not moderating

Why waste your talent?

omongbatib:
AD killed itself by tribalistically voting for Obj instead of producing her own candidate in 2003. Then they got consumed in the ensuing obasanjomania

Is that even an English word!

BTW, AD was a party, not a voter

This guys are bent on bankrupting this country chei?

zerocool:
Lmfao! You should have read my initial post, it is volunteer duty. You can continue with your nairaland postings, Cheers!

How come this thread has not been locked?

This is open solicitation and it is against forum rules

@OP: Nairaland 4 lyfe
Phuckk whatever you call your shyyt!

^^^

Yes, PDP killed AD, both literally and figuratively!

That my friend is an open secret!

omongbatib:
STFU, Dapo bear. This is not about unclothed ogun shrine and lisa human rituals.

Seriously dude, Dapobear is NOT SEFAGO

AND, I, previously known as Fstranger, am not Aigbofa

Stop this shyyt! Doesnt make you look attractive!

Typical Nigerian English; yeah right like WAEC owns the 'English exmaination'.
It is people like you that go out there to say [b]SAT's English [/b]examination

Adding 'examination' at the end is not compulsory!

Why complicate issues when you could use one had or say had taken ,  or had married,  (replacing the second had with taken or married)[/quote]And you think this is about Akpu?
Give it up, he was correct grammatically

A bit awkward; nevertheless, acceptable!

[quote author=omo_ngbati link=topic=574047.msg7401564#msg7401564 date=1293193075]Olodo. You are completely wrong.

Now, yet another blunder (see bolded). Just give it up, you are as empty as Mrs Jonathan.[/quote]Now look at you.
Are you married to Mrs. Jonathan?

[quote author=omo_ngbati link=topic=574047.msg7401492#msg7401492 date=1293192383]had had

You see why you are no better than her?
One had was enough for your sentence, but you had to use two. Olodo rabata.[/quote]Ode!
It is correct, though it too might seem a bit awkward. To understand “had had,” we need to take a look at the present perfect and past perfect tenses. Take this sentence: “I have had too many chocolates today.” That sentence is in the present perfect tense. You use that tense when you’re talking about a past action that is continuing into the present. This sentence means that I started eating chocolates in the past but the chocolate eating is continuing up to the present. Present perfect tense uses “has” and “have” plus the past participle, as in “have had” and “has gone.”


Although “had had” isn't wrong, one "had" definitely sounds better

[quote author=omo_ngbati link=topic=574047.msg7401223#msg7401223 date=1293189900]Do you mean what you put in quote above is correct? Let me be clear before I fall the hammer on your head[/quote]What I meant was that the error in the statement, when written as it should be written, is in her use of 'people'

Of course the statement as a whole is INCORRECT

ada24:
this is funny and very embarrassing - did no one teach this woman basic grammar?

I think GEJ should stop allowing his wife speak in public she is actually making him look funny.

did she not learn the correct use of are and is in primary school?

Obviously, your English is not better than Dame's
The error in the sentence has got nothing to do with grammar

The only mistake she made is that she used 'people' where she ought to have used 'person'
And this is a mistake we all make on a daily basis
And why should she be prosecuted for a common mistake; after all, she is human like the rest of us?

Above all, remove the log in your eyes before trying to correct someone else!

The correct statement goes thus:

" MY HUSBAND, DR GOODLUCK JONATHAN, AND SAMBO, IS A QUIET PEOPLE, "

The question I guess is: Why do we do so badly in WAEC and how can we stop this unpalatable scenario?

Only 62,295 of the 310, 077 candidates (20.04per cent) who sat for the Nov./Dec. 2010 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) obtained credit in English, Mathematics and three other subjects in the Examination, Head of the Nigerian National Office of the West African Examination Council (WAEC), Iyi Uwadiae said at a press conference on Thursday in Lagos to announce the result.

Mr Uwadiae, who said the result was not impressive, said the examination result of 51,876 of the candidates, representing 16.73 per cent, were withheld for their involvement in "alleged malpractice."

"A total of 133,507 candidates (43.06 per cent) obtained credit and above in English Language, while 151,569 candidates (48.88 per cent) obtained credit and above in Mathematics," he said.

Early release of results

Mr Uwadiae also told journalists that 33 blind candidates took part in the examination and only 4 of them got credit passes in five subjects including English Language. The blind candidates are exempted by regulation from registering for mathematics and science based subjects.

"All the reports on cases of involvement in examination malpractice have been compiled for presentation to the Nigerian Examination Committee of the Council in March," he said, adding that the result was released two weeks ahead of schedule to enable students use these for registration purposes in higher institutions that had admitted them.

In order to reposition its activities, he also said that the examination body will soon modify its examination model to the e-testing format (electronic test) but that the process was at its experimental stage.

"The quick release of the result is due to the commitment of the markers and the effective application of our new computer software for processing results," he said.

[quote author=~Bluetooth link=topic=574002.msg7400726#msg7400726 date=1293183074]In as much as those decampees are not coming to take over the soul of the party,i will subscribe to their dumping of the pdp.decamping shouldn't be about abandoning a political party simply because they didn't make you their candidate,it[b] should also entail ideological change.[/b][/quote]Unfortunately, the political atmosphere in Nigeria does not operate like that, I bet that the reason they are decamping is far from anything "ideological."

Two things come to mind as to why they may be decamping:

1.) It could be that they are no more wanted in the PDP, and as such are decamping in order to seek political relevance elsewhere. In that situation, the question is: why ACN, why not PPA or APGA?

2.) Also, it could be that, going by recent events, they may have come to the conclusion that PDP is a sinking ship, and, are thereby jumping just so they do not drown

Either ways, they are doing it for their own selfish reason.

Abagworo:
@justise.Are you Aigbofa?

Some say I am Sefago, others think I am Aigbofa

No, I am not Aigbofa

I am Yoruba though!

Titi is yoruba

I'd take her over that Ibo lady!

[quote author=isale_gan2 link=topic=573364.msg7400441#msg7400441 date=1293178874]All right.  Was that a trick question?  Are you playing a game? 

If you're up to something, I'll tell you right now, I'm prob older than you.  Don't try to trick me.  You will lose!   

And, I'm a sister.  Catch you later.

P.S. Don't post cruel things about an ailing man.  Keep your fights out of get-well-soon or "mourning" threads.  There's a hundred other threads for that.  [/quote]Why come to such a hasty assumption?

Like I said, you are not that different from me. . . No two names!

A welcome development!

[quote author=isale_gan2 link=topic=573364.msg7400375#msg7400375 date=1293177982]Well, that's a loaded question. Tribalism means different things to different people - especially on NL.

I[b]'m proud of my tribe. Not sure if that means I'm a tribalist. [/b] I like to know my history and keep traditions alive. And I don't begrudge other Nigerians from uplifting their tribe. I am proud to be an African. I guess you can read my posts to reach your own conclusions about me.

I'm happy to answer tour questions. [/quote]By Nigerian standard, Yes, that makes you a tribalist
That is what Awo said that made people label him a tribalist.

Yes welcome brother!
