when my fellow Nigerians go for a hair cut, you hear them say `` i am going to barb my head`` or `` i am going to the barbing saloon`` when the job is done, they holla ` i just barbed my head``.

this is simply dunce English.

a bard is a piece of stranded wire, no more, no less.

to havea a hair cut is to barber.

so, say `` i am barbering my hair tomorrow`` Mr Wale gave me a good barber`` `` i barbered my hair just yesterday``

The Great Religion That We Can't Discuss Here
« on: March 05, 2008, 06:38 PM »

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I do not permit the discussion of a certain great religion here.
I greatly respect this religion and do not want it to be insulted here.

I hereby apologize for any inconvenience this policy might cause, but please don't attempt to break this rule.
If you are a follower of that great religion, I may allow you to post respectfully and peacefully on your
religion, but if the topic becomes heated in a way that may insult your religion, I will remove it.

when i am hungry i start to play ten-ten.
in fact, i am playing ten-ten now.

Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Psalm 103; 1-5

Praise Ye The Lord!

PESTING
same goes with PESTING as with GISTING. the word PEST is a noun, period. if you must verbalise it, then use PESTER.

GISTING
this is yet another commonly misused word around here.
GIST is not a verb in all the dictionaries of English, well of course, Nollywood is not one them.
get the gist of the matter and do not GISTING about in ignorance.

for as much as you can munch kuli and boli

PEPPERISH is a nonword, uneducated Nigerian english

personally, i use water. that is the only way i believe i can be clean.

yes, when you crap, do you use water or tissue paper.

there seems to be a cultural convergeance in this matter.
looks like the yorubas use water to TAMBA. the igbos like to use paper, whether toilet paper or Champion (or their new one, SUN). HAUSAs(especially the ALMAJIRIS) just dont bother about either of them. am i right?

let`s run through it.

Ubangiji, na ba ka rayuwa na. na gode, na gashe ka.

was that supposed to be an essay or what?

the truth is the man y`adua won the election. if he didn`t, who else did?
atiku? or buhari?
nah.
i am yet to hear any one of them said they won the election. all i hear them say is they want a scientific election made in EINSTEIN laboratory.

mine had no Horn, so i knew that the one on that slaughter table wasn`t it. but then, considering the way that one there had been garnished, sure, who wouldn`t mind a chunk.

oh my goat, oh my goat, oh my goat, oh my goat,
when shall i see my goat
when shall i see my native goat
i will never forget my goat,

sing along

the goat is actually an hermaphrodite. in the evening she suckles her young, in the morning she is snouting at all the girl-goats around. so, pls, pardon my confusion about its sex.

but, so, GUNPOINT, no tell say that na my goat on the table? walahi, i no mind a slice o

attach now, stupid goat

see

hi all,

A brown goat belonging to Knotty has been declared missing.
The he-goat went missing on the night of Tuesday, 20th February, 2008.
All efforts at tracing it have so far proved abortive. Therefore, I am compelled to come to Nairaland for any clue or tip that might lead to its being found again, preferably, alive.

If you have any information leading to this, a handsome reward of 5,000D awaits you.

For any useful information, please, contact any police post nearest to you. Better still, you could either post your clue to this thread on Nairaland, or email me at cuteyansh@yahoo.com.

Help a brother in need, please.
