Thanks for your imput,
They already understood the knowledge in English.

The pidgin project, is a termly homework which the will carry out them self.

But please look at it this way,

How will the parents feel if they see their children writing in a language they have been trying to prevent them from speaking?

The parents might have some problems with that. I don't think it's unethical if the students already understands Maths written in English. You will just have to explain yourself to the parents and you will face some trouble because pidgin is not a formal form of communication in schools. It's best to make everything English, from beginning to end.

Mrshape:
I don't think you get my point Sir.

I have already taught in English.

How class sessions are in English,

But to build memories, I am suggesting they translate that knowledge they already had in English to a language the are more familiar with.
Nigeria pidgin!

Thus the need for suggestions on how ethical it is.

I understand your point. I even wrote on the presumption that your students understood English and you intended that what they read and understood in English be also translated into pidgin to enhance retention. If they can translate it on their own to pidgin to retain better then no problem. If they cannot translate on their own but need you to translate to pidgin, stick to English.

The main thing here is that you want your students to retain what they've understood.

Let it be in English. If they must excel at maths to the highest level, they must learn to communicate and explain maths in formal language. Maths textbooks are written in English. You may read the Maths textbooks, explain to them in pidgin, and they might understand but how can they conduct self-study and improve on their own with no translator? You won't be there 24/7 and even after they leave school. Beside, how many teachers after you would be willing to speak pidgin?

It's best you teach in English.

bereanway:
But is there no one that you later regretted not dating?

No one.

Not at all. Many girls have given me the green but I was never interested. Even if I was, I wasn't ready for a relationship and I consider relationships to be a waste of time.

Contumely:
Just argued this with some people now.

Is it better to ask a girl outright to be your girlfriend
Or just play along as a boyfriend via body language, actions etc.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of one over the other?

Romantic relationship is a scam, an irrational venture that wastes time and money. As long as you are not marrying anytime soon and you are not yet established financially, forget girls. Only fvck free pussy.

ericsmith:

Don't mind them. Many boys will die as simps.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!
Aye ooooo!!!!!!
It seems it is a crime to be a broke man on this side of the earth.

It's unfair you know

It's not a crime if you don't care about anyone's opinion. However, being broke is not a good thing. No money, no honey.

Nonsense. Ignore her. Stop begging. If the malice is still maintained and it influences the way she treats and responds to you, end the relationship for good. No time for nonsense.

proxillin:
I am really surprised.

Start ignoring them.

proxillin:
Alright. I agree with you.

If you read the text again you will see where I wrote "Not on a general scale"

For my experience of opening threads, even if you put "not on a general scale", "not all", "some", "most" etc. They will act like you generalised. Some will rush to type "what about men/boys? Don't they... also?"

The females that are culpable of these misrepresentation and digression are guilty of what is written in the op. Don't argue with them instead ignore them.

Hamachi:
Honest answers with reasons needed

*Why is so much value placed on female virginity than male virginity?
Are males not also supposed to keep themselves virgins till marriage?

I think it's because men care about personality, beauty, and the state of the woman's pussy when trying to "wife" her. In the men's camp, a news of a fresh pussy raises so much dust and incurs great interest which an overly used pussy incurs rejection.

Women don't care about men's body count instead they consider his financial strength first of all. In the women's camp, the news of a man's great wealth raises so much dust and incurs great interest while a broke man incurs rejection.

The Untold Secrets didn't sell and you have become an attention wh0re. Good night.

Mr. Simp, what do you mean by saying the girl would expose you? Expose what exactly?

thoollz:
Have you guys noticed that most of the housemaid maltreatment is always dished out by women? Why is it that way? They should be the ones protecting these young girls from harm, but no. What u can't allow outsiders do to your kids, don't do it to other kids.

Women are women's worst enemies. Everyday, we see evidence that establishes the notion of women being more caring and compassionate as a myth. In the USA, women abuse children more than men and 50% of domestic abuse cases have women to be the culprits? We hardly see men killing their new born child but women have been guilty of that. Most case of parental alienation have women as the instigators. The gender that abuses house helps (even if they are underage) is usually female.

Hello fellow Nairalanders.

I have a very strong issue bothering my mind, there is this lady I'm in love with, the love is very mutual as she is also madly in love with me too. She's everything I want in a woman and I am planning on getting married and settling down with her next year.

The issue is that, I am Igbo but my girlfriend Yoruba. Personally, I have no issue with that, she doesn't too but my parent does. This past week, mum overheard me speaking to her on the phone in Yoruba language and with the way I sounded over the phone, she knew we were dating. Immediately I ended the call with my girlfriend, my mum asked if that was my gf I just finished speaking yoruba to on the phone, I nodded in affirmation, mum said it's over her dead body will I marry a Yoruba girl, she was warning me when my Dad entered, my Dad being a Pastor, I thought he would reason with me and see reason from my perspective, but instead, he supported my mother.

They both gave me reasons why the idea of me marrying my Yoruba gf is dead on arrival. One of it is how my gf will cope anytime we travel to our home town and she's invited to the Igbo women meetings, will she be hired an interpreter to interprete bits by bits whatsoever they are saying? Or will she forced them to speak English instead of the official igbo language being spoken at meeting?

Another reason they both gave me is that, no one in our lineage has married to anyone who is not igbo, both from my Paternal or Maternal side and I won't be the first. My Dad once said that if eventually I marry my Yoruba gf, I will forget my roots, I won't be coming home regularly and with time, she will force me not to come home at all.. and so on and so forth.

It's so glaring that my parent are TRIBALISTIC. There is no two ways about it.

I really love this girl, she's very decent. Her mum is aware we are dating and it seems there won't be any problem or issue from my gf's family side. I really want to marry her as she's my ideal type of woman, however, leaving her can be mentally and emotionally damaging to us.

How do I cope with my tribalistic parent? How do I convince them that my love for her knows no boundaries, tribe or race? Is there anything my parent are seeing that is still blind to me?

I'm in dire need for mature minded advice.

Thanks in anticipation

How old are you? Are you an undergraduate or a graduate? If you are a graduate, do you have a job and do you still live with your parents?

Ab025:
This is your own version.....I can't comment until I hear his version.

Women have a way of not telling us where/how they bleeped up when things go wrong...

Sharp guy!

solex2346:
one good advice noted,my believe is that money can not just disappear forever in a room

You are afraid to accuse and confront your girlfriend. As long as you have searched thoroughly and no one was came around between the time you sprayed the money and left for work and returned, your girlfriend is the thief. If she can't produce the money within two days, cut her off for good. Next time, don't be careless with your money around a girl.

Your girlfriend stole it.

Me sef don ready for am

Good.

theunnamed:
I believe in the existence of God, but i intend to collect my money no matter what, just wasn't sure if i should use violence to collect it, but it seems that if you're gentle these people go dey ride you

Pastor or no pastor, if you are gentle, people will ride you. As I have said, collect your money. By fire by force.

Guest007:
Would you get anything done if you could afford it?

Sure. Lol. Don't mind my initial statement. I was just trolling.

Guest007:
It would make me feel fresh and new... Happiness is eternal

Young one's have their counterparts, there was never any competition between us. The competition is with myself, the old me and new me leading to the best me...

Okay.

Would you ever do any work?

Come again.

Guest007:
Sighs... I'm doing for me and HE who will enjoy it with me... Do you think that I don't have books now? I go to the gym now... I'm just thinking about combating old age and it evils... I'll be 60 and fly

Okay. You can't stop old age. Leave the field for the younger ones. Old age is part of life so embrace it. However, if what you want to do makes you happy, do it. Good night.

Lol. If were to ask if you got substantial part of your confidence and self esteem from male attention, you would say "no" but here you are seeking the acquisition of boobs, Botox™, and new teeth to start a fresh page at 40. For whom are you getting these things for? Why not acquire books and read, start a business, or go to the gym? Perhaps, you could write a book. Don't waste your money.

GreatResearcher:
Foolish?

Yes. I have followed your updates on your marriage and subsequent complaints. I don't mean to offend you, you are plain foolish. So many poor decisions on your part and you stubbornly refused to yield to the advices of sensible men on this forum instead you paid attention to the stupid women on this thread. It's too late to help you. Just hope you remain in one piece when the sour episode is finished.

I can't believe you are foolish to this extent or are you trolling?

GreatResearcher:
what is mansion compare to peace of mind?

By this very statement, it is established that life has taught you some things. Whatever bitter/unpleasant experience you had, just know that you are to be help responsible due to your stubbornness and foolishness.

iLegendd:
It's too late. Sorry about that. Sadly, none of our books is free either. All the best, dear.

obi4eze:
Mr. OP I have gone through some of your threads and I just want to tell you the blunt truth:


You are stupid. In fact you are very stupid to be a man.

Lol. I and iLegend tried talking sense into him but he was very stubborn — very stubborn! A foolish man beyond advice is bound to learn the hard way. I don't pity simps, let them burn.
