POSER.


. . . . . . As time progressed, she fell in with my plan.  .



^^What is wrong with that statement?

hmmmm, make aboki try. . .

*clears throat* [size=16pt]AAAGRRGHEMHEMHEMGAAARGGHEEEEEENM, [/size]pardon me, excess suya can sometimes cause the phlegm to accumulate. . .  

well, here it goes:

I don't think the phrase ''fall in'' is correct in this context, at least based on the definitions I came up with:


[list]
[li]take ones place in military formation[/li]
[/list]
[list]
[li]to break down, literally or metaphoracally[/li]
[/list]
[list]
[li]Become part of; become a member of a group or organization[/li]
[/list]


OYA EGBON WETIN BE MY SCORE?

Deepest respect to Fela and his family, but I think the president should be concerned with more pressing national issues for now.

Godmother:

By not going back to his cheating ways

that's a start.

ola olabiy:

Okay. I will explain later. How are you?

very fine thank you.

thanks for the explanation also:

1. "As best as he can" is just plain wrong, even if it's now commonly used.

2. "The best that he can" is quite different, and is correct.

3. "As best he can," used correctly, means "as he can do better than all others."

who does the issuing?

the problem with pressing the ignore button on such people is that it seldom works. . .

The EFCC reportedly alerted IG of Police Hafiz Ringim of the fact that Bankole’s police protection was thwarting their effort to have the speaker arrested. The EFCC implored the IG to withdraw the police protection around Bankole in order to prevent a bloodbath. A short while later, the IG was spotted entering Mr. Bankole’s residence, ostensibly to break the siege on the speaker’s residence. However, a source in the Goodluck Jonathan administration s[b]aid the IG had instructions from the presidency to tell the EFCC to back off from the outgoing speaker’s residence.[/b]

Does this mean the EFCC is going after Banky without GEJ's approval? why do I find that hard to believe?

He said that a high level of depression and frustration might
have led the man to commit such an act. Ogunsanya, however, said that doctors were in the process
of performing a reconstructive operation on the man.(NAN)

really? I doubt it.

performing a [i]dickostomy [/i]seems a pretty unusual way of venting ones frustration. I'm inclined to go with the ''cut off the part that makes you sin'' theory. 

after marriage, IMHO. The man is duty bound to care for his wifey.

spending to woo her, ie before the marriage, only makes her cheap.

OP say ''name a word'', yet people dey give lectures.

Ikengawo:

first of all, to announce the 'amount spent' as a means of provoking outrage is silly and ridiculous because El Rufai is implying every naira spent was a waste or went to corrupt ends. Believe it or not running a country of 150 million people is not cheap, nor free.

No kidding!!  

But lets face it, I don't think anyone, not even his harshest critic, is under any illusion that running a country our size comes cheap; money--and lots of it--must be spent on, and for, its citizens, 150milla and all.

that however, is the vexing issue: is the money actually being spent on its long suffering citizens, or, as most people believe, on a minute, privileged and pampered clique of perpetual beneficiaries?

Is it too much to ask that when such humongous figures are being peddled, there should be some measurable [i]evident [/i]improvement in the lives of Nigerians?

[b]There is little to show for it. No single major infrastructure investment or policy initiative has been concluded. [/b]About a third of that amount was spent under Jonathan’s watch. As Acting President and then President, he ran down the ECA to less than $500 million from the over $6 billion he inherited – sharing out the nation’s savings account to State Governors and traditional rulers to win their support for his presidential bid.

ibedun:

Where are the foolish people (150m Nigerians) that are being robbed?

*resignedly*

as we are wont to say, ''we dey campe. . .''   

^^

They claimed in the note that the hospital staff do not treat their injured members when they were  taken there, allowing them to die of their injuries.

''Since you [allegedly] refused to treat us, you won't treat anyone else'', is my guess. . .

no more 15milla per month salary? who wouldn't cry?

The headline: "Prince William Divorces Kate Middleton After 5 Weeks" was reported yesterday by The Onion Web site. The Onion is well known for its parody of news, even making it up. And if you read the report carefully, you will find the headline and the story is nothing more than a joke.

no mind them, .

. . .however I have a problem with this explanation:

femmy2010:

I go with "I do my job as an NL moderator as best I can"
The use of a second "as" in your first line shows comparison and the "best" shouldn't be compared to any other cos of its super feature which surpass all others.

what comparison are we talking about?

Pull your head out of the sand and forget your conspiracy theories.
HIV is real and whoever says it isn't should volunteer to be injected with the ''unreal'' virus. Africa lived in denial for long and that explains why we found ourselves int this current quagmire.

For lack of anything better to do, I had been following some of her posts but refused to respond in any of them, having learned from experience that trying to convince her ilk about the preponderance of irrefutable evidence supporting the existence of the virus as the cause of AIDS will be as successful as squeezing water from a red hot charcoal.

I only hope conscientious NLs do well to ignore those conspiracy theories.

granted there might have been one or two instances of unfair advantage, especially during the OBJ regime (the alleged tax waiver of over 40b), there is no denying the fact that the man is a genius when it comes to using opportunity to the fullest

not at all surprised by the responses. predictably, the guys stooging for the ambassador, while the ladies are falling over themselves in defense of the allegedly battered woman.

having read both sides, I can only conclude both partners have been victims of the ill-fated union which, perhaps, was never meant to be.

interesting twist

kai! Nigerians. . .

Mr.Bones:

Thats my guy. I guess the room was too hot

nice try!

Whatever.

Speaker of the house is just only name.

Speaker = toothless bulldog.

. . .but unfettered access to cash. Which--in the Nigerian context anyway--is what really matters.

How can you be sure the world has not ended?
