#Dictatorship

A Guinean migrant caught by Spanish Civil Guard, squeezed himself into the tiny space behind a car's engine in yet another desperate attempt to flee to Europe.

So the eMpTy -heN are seek partners. Good for the country it's going to take some people of the Job market. #AnotherAchievementOfBuhari

True. They also check your pictures, comments for any sign of promiscuity or professionality. So to all those girls posting half nude pics all for more followers and likes should be Warned you just might be playing with your future job security.

LOL. Dude the handwriting is on display on the electronic billboard in HD. That's what you get for not stamping your authority and marking your territory on your Woman.

Congrats Mr Adeshina. Just hoping that your new position will effect positive changes in the African and most importantly Nigerian economy.

Over $1million to research on boobs Menh I'll take that any day of the week including Sunday.
Nice one Prof. You re one of the few Nigerians in the diaspora that's writing the country's name in the sands of time.

Billionaire and death are two words you most likely won't find in one sentence too often but sadly Nigeria has just lost one of her dearest billionaires. So sad. I've always thought that being a wealthy person can prolong your lifespan guess I was wrong. RIP hope you navigate your way to your maker in the afterlife.

This is only making front page not because it's enlightening but because a rogue mod is posting it. #2bad

This is quite disheartening but it's the sad reality of the outside world. The NIS recruitment was fair, judging from what I've heard and read in the papers, so I don't know why it's been annulled.
Well I've always known that some of the new leadership decision might not go down well with the masses but we all just have to stomach it, take the good with the bad and hope for a better future.

And I wrote a song yersternight which you can use the words for prayer Titled "You Are My Resting Place" And below is the lyrics

When All Seems To Be Far Away
Let Not My Heart Go Astray
When I Am Weak And Frail
Teach Me Still Lord To Pray

In This Time Of Woes
Surrounded By Foes
Let Me Still Lord Glow
As The Glory O Lord Flows

Chorus

O My God, You Are My Resting Place
O My God,You Are My Song And Praise
O My God, You Are My Resting Place
My Song And Praise
O King.

1. Actually

Crutch words are words that we slip into sentences in order to give ourselves more time to think, or to emphasize a statement. Over time, they become unconscious verbal tics. Most often, crutch words do not add meaning of a statement. Actually is the perfect example of a crutch word. It is meant to signify something that exists in reality, but it is more often used as a way to add punch to a statement (as in, "I actually have no idea". The next word is one of the most chronically misused crutch words in English.


2. Literally

This adverb should be used to describe an action that occurs in a strict sense. Often, however, it is used inversely to emphasize a hyperbolic or figurative statement: "I literally ran 300 miles today." Literally is one of the most famously used crutch words in English. The next one, however, may surprise you.



3. Basically

This word is used to signal truth, simplicity, and confidence, like in "Basically, he made a bad decision." It should signify something that is fundamental or elementary, but too often this word is used in the context of things that are far from basic in order to create a sense of authority and finality.


4. Honestly

This crutch word is used to assert authority or express incredulity, as in, "Honestly, I have no idea why he said that." However, it very rarely adds honesty to a statement. The next crutch word is perhaps the most famous.


5. Like

The cardinal sinner of lazy words like is interspersed in dialogue to give a speaker more time to think or because the speaker cannot shake the habit of using the word. Like should describe something of the same form, appearance, kind, character, or amount. But, very often, it is used involuntarily in conversation, just like um.


6. Obviously

This word should signify an action which is readily observable, recognized, or understood. Speakers tend to use it, however, to emphasize their point with regards to things that aren't necessarily obvious: "Obviously he should have thrown the ball to first base."
