According to Sarrki, he's IPOB miscreant. His mother is from Aba.

If not for Yorubas, Hausa-Fulani won't be taking southern Nigeria for a fool, Yorubas are the ones giving them the impetus to do anyhow and go free, its sad.

The few outspoken Yoruba elites like Fayose, FFK, Wole Soyinka, etc that tries to open the eyes of the Yorubas, Yoruba youths will just hate them for trying to awaken them from their slumber, its really a shame

Like them or hate them, Fayose and FFK are very strong men, but sadly, Yoruba youths prefer to respect and worship crooked thieves like Tinubu who sell them for their personal gains, its well

I'm Igbo but please, let's forget all these Yoruba talk. How many Igbos are presently outspoken in Nigeria?

What if they were both murdered?

and who declared Sunday as a rest free day for xtians

Sunday is the day Christians chose as their sabbath day

truth be told, am always curious why Friday a day of worship by Muslim isn't a work free day

Mohammed didn't tell them to observe rest on Fridays

This is just the female version of Dangote. Exactly same face.

Price comparison: As at today. 3/14/18
5 gallons of coconut oil(38lb) = $57.99
42 gallons of crude oil (1 barrel) =$64.64.

Coconut oil capable of generating more revenue per gallon than crude oil. The minders of Akwa Ibom State Government are thinking right. Excellent project.

But coconut oil isn't consumed anywhere in the world daily as much as crude oil.

Contact sarrki, madugriguy, mynd4.4, yeyeske or other irredeemable zombies on this forum for membership form.
Be warned that they hardly pay them these days as doing their work seems highly impossible with the buhari discontentment going on everywhere in Nigeria at the moment.

You will be under lie Mohammed ministry as he would be dishing out blame games and current lies to face patriotic Nigeria who demand the truth for the various lies spoken by the APC led government.

Your monthly pay is 30k and they is an additional 500 per post and 5 naira per like and shares you get.

Its a full time zombie job. You'll hardly get to sleep or eat. The job needs spiritual backing with the amount of curses Nigerians especially on nairaland place on your aspiring members. So contact your pastor or imam for advice before you sign up.

Good luck or rather bad luck on your journey of no return to sanity.

NB: To get their attention at command post (HQ) start defending anything that has to do with buhari and the APC especially when it's not defendable. Then for sure you'll be tagged a patriot from sarrki then your good to go.

Cheers! Don't thank me.

But I'm not making money na. That's the difference. How do I get enrolled into BMC?

Please, who knows how to join BMC? These guys spend time on the social media like the rest of us yet they make money every month defending the indefensible.
I need to make money like them too. It's all about multiple streams of income.
Any idea guys?

With all the IELTS he has written, he still remains a dumb soul.

You've consistently mentioned IELTS in all your rantings. I see where your frustration is coming from.
If you need to enrol for the test, pm me. I will pay for it. Let's see if your frustration will be cured.
Nonsense!!

With all the IELTS rubbish this idiot wrote, he doesn't seem to know the meaning of good bye. About three comments ago, he said goodbye; yet he is still ranting here like a rabid dog. I wonder who cursed his life like this.

I am here to make you miserable, idiot-in-chief. Since I have chosen to torment your miserable self, what are you going to do about it? Wail your eyes out, I don't give a damn!

achiever12:
I doubt if this fool knows that I'm not reading his empty rhetoric, the rhetoric of a mentally blind fool.

The nonentity keeps quoting. You obviously can't read and reason. No wonder you kept yapping inferiority complex. I'm happy I've made you realise how empty you are, and you decided to drop the term.

You don't need to read the rhetorics. Others will read them and see how empty you are.

achiever12:
This inferiority complex fool is still here. I thought you said good bye now? Or didn't your fake IELTS teacher tell you the meaning of good bye? Empty idiot

You're the only idiot here cos you can't use your brain. Your sense of reasoning is abysmal. Tụfịakwa!
Oh, I never had an IELTS teacher. I simply never needed one.

Which other term can you use apart from inferiority complex? Can you write any reasonable thing with mentioning that term? I am sure you learnt it this morning after a more sensible person used it to aptly describe your attitude. For your information, there isn't anything like inferiority complex fool, cos inferiority complex isn't and can't be an adjective. Thank me later.

And yes, I'm back for you. Since you chose to be stupid, I have withdrawn the good bye. We can slug it out here till we're both tired. Nonsense!!

achiever12:
Despite the stupid epistle, some fools still think writing round off in place of round up is acceptable. Bunch of empty idiots suffering from inferiority complex. They ho about buying IELTS result and will be coming here to fool their destiny. Bunch of fools.

Write your own epistle na, let us see you put a sound reasoning down on 'paper'. You think it's by throwing insults up and down in the internet space. I have been restraining myself regarding the calling of names, and you won't push me to do that.

Go and buy your own IELTS result na, thats if you even know what IELTS is used for. Do I blame you? I only blame myself who condescended so low to engage a neonate like you. I have made you feel important today. That will give you something to celebrate about for the rest of this year.

achiever12:
One would wonder if this inferiority complex victim wasn't the one that first quoted me.

You are very deficient in reasoning, extremely deficient.

Let us get back to the starting point of this argument.
First, the op is a Civic Education teacher, and his post was about an English language teacher. You don't need your grammar to be impeccable to either teach or make a distinction in Civic Education. Even in the medical school, nobody gets failed because of his grammar as long as the point has been made correctly. That isn't so when it comes to teaching or writing an exam in English Language. All that matters is the grammar and nothing more. Even if the op writes as poorly as that English teacher, he should still have been concerned because that teacher is supposed to be teaching the kids grammar not any other thing. She studied English language in the higher institution for crying out loud.
Many of us accuse the Nigerian military for being weak and incompetent even when we can't shoot a gun. It's not that we have any basic military experience, but we believe the military guys should be competent in their jobs because that is what they were trained for. It is the same situation between the op and the teacher.

Secondly, the op's mistake isn't a big deal. All mistakes are not the same. Taking medical practice as an example, a doctor whose mistake costs a patient an extra day on admission might simply get scolded by his senior colleagues. If that mistake costs the patient a limb for instance, he may get suspended for a while but if the mistake leads to the death of the patient, that doctor may lose his practising licence. If the English teacher of my children uses 'round up' in place of 'round off', I will feel a bit disappointed, but may not consider withdrawing my kids from that school. If however I get to learn that a teacher like the one op talked about is the one teaching my house maid in school, I will definitely withdraw her from that school or report the teacher to the school authorities. I repeat, all mistakes don't carry the same weight.

It's disappointing that I will have to get down this low to explain a simple fact to you. I'm ashamed.
Good bye.

Next time don't promote stupidity; it can make you sound like an idiot.

Guy, get off my mention! You are not a fool. Get off! I'm done with you, just get off. I've conceded the victory to you. What else do you want? Get off, please!!!

Horlaidex:
I need to know how much he used bro. I'm working on an online survey and that matters and besides 10 tablets of 100mg can't kill. I've got guys that use a sachet of 225mg. That's 2,250mg and they are still alive.

Have you tried to factor in his age and body mass in the argument?
Maximum therapeutic dose for adults is about 400mg daily (in divided doses, not taken at once). Above that dose is toxic but different people are going to tolerate the toxicity differently.

achiever12:
Inferiority complex victim, bury your head in the sand of shame. What is wrong is wrong. Round off is different from round up. Write it in exam and be telling your examiner that it is pardonable. Useless trashy IETS that he can't defend. Empty barrel.

It's alright, this has turned to paediatric verbal tussle. I am never good at it, so I'll let you win.
You have won, okay. Congratulations!
Have a good day.

achiever12:
Since you know they are different, why then are you splashing oral diarrhea all over the place and yapping about ielts like someone suffering from inferiority complex?

Just get off! I'm done with you.
GET OFF!

achiever12:
You clearly said round off can be replaced with round up . What other thing does that mean if not that round up is synonymous with round off? And if they didn't teach you well during your IELTS tutorials, let me enlighten you that synonymous means "have the same meaning." Your IELTS score is trash since you can't even defend it.
I repeat stop disgracing yourself, boy.

Can you quote where I made that statement in bold or you shut your mouth forever! It will be a big shame if you can't point out where I made that statement. Go through all my write ups again. I'm waiting for you.

While you're looking for it, take note of what I wrote here:

Most of us used to call it 'round up' when we were young until we learnt the right thing . Many graduates still use that term today, cos they haven't learnt . But as far as the Nigerian parlance is concerned, using the term 'round up' instead of 'round off' is never a big deal . Even the sounds of the 2 are nearly alike.

Never knew I was discussing with a kid all these while. You aren't worth my time boy. Run off!

achiever12:
You sat for IELTS, yet you are saying round off is the same as round up? Difference between round up and round off is one of the first things an o'level student should learn before sitting for WAEC. How come your IELTS prep and exam never taught you that simple thing? Did someone sit for the exam for you or you bought the result? Like I said earlier, stop disgracing yourself, boy.

Guy, stop being dumb! Read thru all my write up and point out where I said round off is the same as round up. Just quote only one statement I made that suggested the 2 are the same. I don't know why critical reasoning is very difficult for Nigerian youth these days.
I said it's a common mistake among many Nigerian graduates and it isn't a big deal. Many of us confused the 2 when we were growing up. Did I mean that are the same?
To round up someone or a group of people means to apprehend the person or the people. Rarely do you find people using round up in that sense in Nigeria. As a matter of fact, if you hear the term 'round up' used by a Nigerian who isn't a law enforcement officer, it's very likely the person meant round off.
And yes, my almost 2 year old IELTS has an overall band 8.5. That's 0.5 short of an overall band 9.

achiever12:
Because it is pardonable to you doesn't make it pardonable. It is your opinion based on your limited scope.


You must be limited a lot to think round off can be replaced with round up. They are distinctively different. Stop disgracing yourself

Just stop already! Who told you my scope is limited? Nairaland is a funny place mehn. People come online and be forming what I don't know. Can I post a shot of my IELTS result to you so that you will understand I am not a novice when it comes to English speaking and writing? Have you communicated with native English speakers before and they told you you speak well? What's your problem?

This Guy Is Mischievous. If Someone Is My Colleague, Can't I Call And Correct Them? This Will Benefit The 'English Teacher' And The Students. It Is Better Than Taking PAS To Tell The Whole World What A Colleague Has Done Wrong. It Is My Opinion On The Moral Consideration!

Correct the colleague? Are you for real? Imagine someone approaching and correcting your grammar as an English teacher. That alone is enough to cause animosity between the lady and him for the rest of his days in ghat school. People don't like being corrected, more so when it borders on their inadequacy and lack of proficiency. Also knowing the teacher involved is a lady makes it more risky to try correcting her.
Talking about exposing his colleague, he didn't reveal any personal details here – neither his nor the lady's. Nobody will ever get to know who the teacher is, so what's the big deal?

achiever12:
You are not different from that teacher. It is round off and not round up

Abeg, shift! So because he wrote 'round up', you're equating him to that illiterate English teacher. I can bet you that more than 30-50% of Nigerian graduates still confuse 'round off' and 'round up' which to me is very pardonable, but for an English teacher to make such grievous grammatical errors while teaching her students, it's both shameful and disgraceful.
Moreover, the OP didn't tell you he's an English teacher. Grammatical errors from him are more tolerable than from an English teacher.

Responsibility is responsibility. There should be no excuses for abdicating responsibility. So the man should be the one going straight to the kitchen to cook? Is the woman cooking for just the husband? Isn't she also cooking for herself and her children? So the man should be looking at the ceiling when TV is there? Cooking for the family is a woman's responsibility and it has been for thousands of years and the foundation of the family has remained firm. Switching/equalizing roles has proven to be devastating to the structure of the family and society by extension because women are now acting like men and men are now acting like women. This has very negative consequences on society.

Bro, try and be reasonable. You can never live in Europe with this mindset honestly. Social services will threaten you the moment they realise you don't assist your wife, especially with taking care of the kids.

Imagine in a family where both the man and woman are teachers. They both come back from school in the afternoon and while the man enters the parlour to watch TV, the woman enters the kitchen to cook for both of them alongside the kids. She's still the one that will help kids with assignments, wash the clothes, tidy the house, cook the dinner and after all these, the lazy man will expect her to be interested in sex at night. Come on!

While I'm not advocating that men should take over those roles, a reasonable man should know how to assist the wife. Nothing says a man cannot wash plates in the kitchen for the wife, pound yam for her while she cooks soup, help kids with homework, iron clothes etc. That's how to show you genuinely love your wife by sharing the burdens of keeping the home with her.

I'm a Batch A Stream 1 Corps member (Yea. Counting down weeks to my POP). I currently teach in a private school in rivers state. Nuff about all the intro. To the point now, shall we?
I experienced something today and I just thought i should share to all teachers(both corps members and full time teachers), intending teachers and intending corps members.

I had an SS1 economics class by 12pm and when I got to the class, few seconds in, the students didn't greet. I was expecting someone to save them and echo the routine class greeting so I wouldn't have to punish them (our proprietress have been sounding warning to us as of late to punish the students if we encounter any act of indiscipline from them. Not greeting a teacher qualified as an act of indiscipline). Someone finally called out for the class to greet. They all stood up to greet. Except one girl. I was a bit furious and i asked her why she didn't stand up and greet, she still bent her head on the desk without a reply and as expected, the 'Teacher dictator' in me(every teacher has it) wanted to call her out and give her some strokes of cane. I asked a student if the 'disobedient' girl was sick and the reply was 'No'. Now, i really got more pissed off and wanted to punish her but all of a sudden, i just ignored it, brushed it aside and went on with my teaching.

A few hours later, I was walking past the SS1 class and I saw a girl crying (a different girl),when I asked what happened, they told me one of their classmates mum that was pregnant lost her baby that's why she was crying. I came to know later that the other 'disobedient' girl of my economics class was crying at that time when I entered the class for the same reason that was why she didn't stand up to greet. On my own part, i had to praise myself for making the right decision not to punish her cos i know i wouldn't have been happy with myself if I had punished her and later found out that this was the reason why she didn't stand up to greet.

So my dear teachers, before you flog that student for coming late without listening to her reasons, do you know if she witnessed an altercation between her parents and she was the child trying to settle them? Before you flog him for failing, do you know if his guardian punished him by not feeding him all through yesterday just because he mistakenly broke a plate while washing? Meanwhile he had an exam to write the following day. Before you flog that child, do you know what's going on in the life of that child? Before you raise that cane above your head, ask yourself, 'Have i listened to this child?'

Listen.... It'll only take a minute.

Since her head was bent down, I'm sure if you had called her out to punish her, you would have seen her teary eyes which would have made you probe further. Ultimately, you wouldn't have punished her except you were a beast.
You made a good point sha. It's all about being understanding and considerate.
