One thing that some Nigerian couples don't understand is the significant of the marriage vow they

This is great...Why didnt you come earlier...

Amanda4life:
Some teacher s are not good in correcting spoken English.

Some of them are after teaching and marking of note books. Nothing more. No Passion at all.

Exactly! And the children will come home talking nonsense

Tonto is crazy but at least this time she has a point. At least we know some private schools pay peanuts while collecting those big fees

Ginaz:
Exactly! His father is influential so how is he going to do it?

Lol. People just put themselves into trouble. Who even asked him

It was the wrong time to say this when everybody knows his aging father

It will be crazy if Pete edochie is given a modest burial upon all his reputation so saying this was quite a stupid move and kind of insensitive too even though he made some points.

Putting the emphasis on money spent was wrong

tiswell:
This post is definitely for people with your kind of mindset about extravagant burial events.Nobody mocks anyone in the great beyond,if you are dead,you are dead.

Well, the point is that nobody knows for sure what actually happens in the great beyond

My sister, most people get married because it's a norm of the society and to avoid being castigated by people.

Anyone who looks well will see that marriage has ruined so many sweet relationships. If most people had a choice, they wouldn't have married but stayed together and enjoyed each other as much as they could in a very natural way. Marriage is unnatural

Well, I was speaking from the church angle we were discussing because I don't see what he will be doing in the church when he can't follow one of the main teachings that if it were a poor person, they would be chastised for not marrying the girl. That was my own point. You or I would never get away with it, would we?

As for it ruining relationships, perhaps you could expand. If the relationship was sweet before why should saying some vows and couple of days of dancing destroy it?

What's unnatural about it? That's one of the only activities that people do all over the world, even before being invaded, enslaved or colonised.

People don't need to be told to do it so it seems very natural to humans in my view

The situation you are describing sounds like when people rush into marriage which is totally different to marriage itself being the problem

MiddleDimension:
how is it rubbish? are you in their lives to know what's best for them? and who told you he is doing this because he has money? it is very funny how people like you speak authoritatively about people's lives, people you have never met before!

you can call having children out of wedlock rubbish, but get angry when another person says marriage spoils things. hmm

What are you talking about I didn't say anything bad about having children out of wedlock

Can you comfortably worship regularly at church with a girlfriend and illegitimate kids?

Can you take communion?

You quoted me off point in the other thread, I decided to leave it alone since you clearly weren't understanding me. Now you're back here writing another one again.

Why do you bother commenting on a post you can't comprehend??

Odunolumide:
this and the other post are not related. I didn't even criticise anyone's explanation . I only wanted an explanation from another angle.
and I tot we were vibing

I asked you because you have a pharmacology background.

Apologies! I think I understand your personality better now.

MiddleDimension:
sounds vulgar, but the American southern accent sounds cool. if the boy were speaking American Southern accent with its poor grammar, Tonto would give him kudos.

honestly, when you come among a lot of these celebrities people in positions of Power, you will find out that you inapire them alot. they also look up to you

Nah. You're not getting me

Newboss:
Religion and common sense are not friends

It depends on your definition of common sense

People who get married, are they stupid? Do they lack common sense??

MiddleDimension:
when should you not speak pidgin English, especially in the house?

It depends on the family background. It sounds vulgar to some people so they may find it inappropriate for somebody to speak it at home.

Or are you asking me when it's not okay to use it? I think you should know already that it's not always appropriate

Even speaking Queen's English in the wrong situation can land you in deep mmiri oku so as I said, pidgin is not the problem here.

The problem is not pidgin but knowing when to use it

Except if you train him abroad he must pick it up because it's the way of communication for the common man and it's necessary at times

As an actress who understands media and communication let her explain to him as he grows older when and when it is not appropriate.

I get where she is coming from, at times some wrong habits can rub off on kids and it can be a shock when they suddenly burst it out at home, not really knowing what they are saying.

festacman:
Unfortunately, sophistication brought in publication of elaborate brochure and use of unnecessary publicity signage as well as expensive souvenirs while association with Yoruba has introduced aso ebi into the mix.

I swear, that brochure is almost the main thing.

If the family doesn't do it well it can be very embarrassing.

Newboss:
That goes a long way to show that marriage is not a big deal. What they have there is the real deal. Marriage spoils things in most cases. You hear about folks changing after marriage

It's a big deal o, if you call yourself a Christian. Marriage spoils what exactly?

Going to Catholic church everyday with your girlfriend and 4 out of wedlock kids is total rubbish.

Just because he has money doesn't mean we won't say the truth

telleyway:
I don't have the strength to argue with you. Moreover, I argue to add knowledge not to win.
1 do you agree with me when I said the opposite of lag is lead? If yes, can you someone is leading front and be grammatically correct?
2 do you know what synonyms are?
I repeat if you want to flow with the op, then you are wrong.

Keep correcting people in calamity!

A lawyer can find loopholes and make a strong case. Legal arguments are usually all about who has a more convincing argument

Yes, I have noticed that. Sometimes it's all about interpretation

Wow! So that's enough to stop him getting married. And they keep showing them going to church every day...

Newboss:
Marriage has grievous financial consequences for guys like himself. Forget prenup. It has failed again and again.

How can a prenup fail??

Mikkyjay17:
After four, and she still look damsel.

Money is the architect of gorgeous appearance.

She only had one of his children. The rest were born via surrogacy with an unknown mother

Odunolumide:
Maybe I am , I wouldn't know.
Except if you have a time capsule *lol
but I really wanted to be a doctor but JAMB disagreed. I have a diploma in a pharmaceutical technology though.

Wow. So what's your take on what that guy said?

Is saying that an enzyme can destroy a drug such a heinous crime as he's making it out to be??

chuksville:
Thanks man!

Do not thank him o, he is wrong

Lagging behind is correct, you were right the first time

Odunolumide:
I am avoiding oversabi...lol

Are you a doctor? I just noticed your use of the term 'first pass'

Lol but you want to read somebody else's oversabi

No, I'm not. Were you? In a previous life

Glycosunde:

i know but I'm just saying y will dey say disvirgin is incorrect n deflowered is correct when d girl is called a virgin n no flower was plucked during d process. England n English just like to disturb people n dat is all

Lol. True that

telleyway:
A simple dictionary search will tell you that lag and behind means the same thing. The opposite of lag is lead. So argue with facts and not what people are familiar with if you want to follow the op.

You really need to check that dictionary yourself. Lag and behind are never the same

"Lagging behind" is simple and standard English so I dont know what you are talking about

Odunolumide:
I'm not a doctor but I v read about it b4...so I was expecting a doctor to explain .

I meant that you are still capable of explaining it as long as you have read it

Sorry dear.

telleyway:
Oga! Lagging means coming behind.
Lag and behind means the same thing.

Lagging behind is totally correct

Do you "lag" somebody or "lag behind" somebody??

"Lag" is only used in computer science to describe a slow system

lefulefu:
spy camera? do they have such james bond gadgets in nigeria?

Of course, he can check jumia

Apination:
I'm not your husband. And since when did my opinion on how I choose to relate with my spouse become your business? It's my opinion and my supposed hypertension abi e affect you? Since when did one over salted meal automatically give hypertension

Lol

It's okay. Please go ahead and soundlessly tolerate the salty food. Godspeed

ucham:
Good point. Your audience should be your priority. There's no point sounding like A specialist and trying to explain nuance to a lay audience. It defeats the purpose; which is educating the audience.

DCmonster humbly take correction and move on.

This is one of the main things that makes people defensive about speaking English, like that thread they posted this morning about "grammatical jargons".

People use complicated language and "jargon" to oppress those they are supposed to be helping, where a simple word will do.

Then everybody gets agitated whenever English language, which we have been speaking for at least the past 60 years, is discussed

Especially in healthcare, its better just to get to the point so that the patient wont feel intimidated and go away even more ill than before because they couldnt get even one word of what you were saying

Apination:
Eat the food quietly and say nothing. No be everything dem dey complain put

Lol eat the food quietly and develop hypertension. Terrible!

In fact I would like my husband to keep offending me and stay alive rather than this thing you wrote.

Its like you are placing a curse on yourself..gosh!
