Crime / Re: NDLEA Discovers ‘First-Ever’ Indian Hemp Oil Lab In Lagos by MMElliot: 5:21am On May 24, 2020 |
To NDLEA now, they've done something good. The benefits of the oil knows no bounds. With no side effects. In a sane country, this oil is recommended by doctors for cancer patients, down syndromes, arthritis, etc. But naija, no way, because it will reduce poverty rate. Using archaic, unproven beliefs to retard our country. 13 Likes 1 Share |

We never jam. When it was small and they were saying people should stay home, strong head dey worry us. There's hunger, yen yen yen. Like if there's war you'll be flocking out that there's hunger. Even now stupid people still joke about this. Naija, until it's daily Ks before they listen. We do ourselves in this country. 10 Likes 1 Share |

houzing: Please, exactly when are fillers (like, you know, so, right, okay) considered excessive? They say so and like so much. I limited usage to only once per rep/customer dialogue, but I guess that's still too much. I stopped including it, but I guess that's omitted dialogue. Also, please what is considered properly structured, other than making sure the rep/customers are labelled right? Nothing about proper structures example in the faq. Do I Enter a new line with every new sentence or what? E.g, when the rep/cus explains something lengthy. |

I really don't know how else to improve with this people. I feel sometimes they intentionally want to get free work. I'll transcribe well (I'm sure) only for them to come and tell me about misheard words, punctuations, missing dialog, and sentence structures. It's always a combo of at least punctuations and sentence structures. WTH. The missing dialogue is overlapping speech, and when I can't use [...] more than once, if I'm lucky to catch above 5 mins call, I can't use it more than twice, what will I do? Sometimes a third person will join, and all three will be talking with network error/audio delays. Wtf. I use grammarly, so I know my punctuations are okay. No one has ever questioned my punctuations since school, through finishing uni. Even some of the tutorial videos I watched, these people ommited some commas. Wtf. I'll work for hours only for someone to come and give me 2 or 1 after I've done 95% of the work. I use noise cancelling ear piece and force my volume to 150%, so I'm hearing well. Don't use so, like, (as the faq says), I stopped. But that's when my failing increased. Please, guru users here, what's your advice? I've read the faq tire. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. At the end they'll send screenshot of faq saying they're a freelance site and don't teach grammar. I'm not the type to give up, but it's annoying be paid for only 2/5 transcriptions I do. PS. If you notice any punctuation error in what I typed above, pls let me know. Haven't reviewed it, but let me know, please. |
Celebrities / Re: Huddah Monroe Rubbishes 2020 Forbes 30 Under 30 List by MMElliot: 10:55am On Apr 13, 2020 |
Tripitaka: True. Ignore that she's the one that came out to call bull on the list. When I first saw the list, I closed the page and zero'd in my mind politics went into it. But then the list isn't 30 under 30 billionaires. It's just 30 under 30. But because it's Forbes, everyone thinks it's billionaires.

Crime / Re: Gbagada, Lagos Joggers Must Be Quarantined For 14 Days - Court Rules by MMElliot: 8:15am On Apr 09, 2020 |
First time this country is impressing me. Very good. Numbers are rising, you are here shouting hunger. If more people get infected we'll have to stay locked up longer. Na then you go see hunger. The only way to save this country is stop the spreading, let the infected recover or die. Whichever. And let there be no more cases. Then we still lock up borders or be very strict with entries (quarantine everyone coming in for at least two weeks). |
Romance / Re: My Boyfriend Smokes A Lot, Should I Drop Him? by MMElliot: 10:24pm On Apr 07, 2020 |
shollish: Yeah. Def not from street dealers. The dealers you want will be mobile or you meet somewhere. I don't know how you'll get connect. You just have to know someone that'll link you up. I'm not in lag. Pls let me know the moment you see this reply. When quoting, pls delete her handle name in the quote. Haven't heard of haze. I'm a RAW organic loyalist. It's that or vape. |
Romance / Re: My Boyfriend Smokes A Lot, Should I Drop Him? by MMElliot: 6:05pm On Apr 07, 2020 |
shollish:The best you can do is OG loud. Rest is strain strength. Else, you need a T break. Loud isn't synthetic. Neither is AZ & Marley, these are just spiked. It's dem Colorado that's synthetic (worse than spiked). They don't even look like buds. Loud looks like pure actual weed buds you Google. Put it under a torch and you'll see very clear trichomes (like hairs). That's how to know good weed. Any other thing, don't collect. Ask what strain it is. Real loud dealers have different strains or even if it's one strain, google the name when you get home, compare the smell, taste and high to what comes up, if it doesn't match, switch dealer. Most times, it matches with legit dealers. Loud smells good and very different from SK (or spiked SK). No need to dig your nose into it to smell it from outside the bag. Regular peeps don't even know loud smell is kush cause it's not SK smell. I don't know how else to describe OG loud. Also, you definitely don't need to finish one J at a go with loud. If you do, it's not loud, or its weak af loud or you intentionally wasted kush. Shrine loud is weak af loud. Also, I hope you know white rizla na capital waste of kush. Never put loud in that shit. Na taboo! Invest in RAW. Not any random brown, but RAW! Good dealers are key, or import your seeds from like RQS, and grow your shi. |
Romance / Re: My Boyfriend Smokes A Lot, Should I Drop Him? by MMElliot: 3:17pm On Apr 07, 2020 |
Random browsing brought me here, but let me put in my 2 cents. I stopped Arizona/Marley last year because those things aren't 100% cannabis. That's why they get you high when chewed/swallowed. Try eating loud. Just bone the price and eat it like that, you won't feel shi. Also. Go and do a Drug test on yourself (if you only take weed and not other drugs), and more than THC will show up. All this AZ and Marley is just placed over mdma steam to make it more intense. You think it's strong kush but it's not. In fact, when you stick to only loud, you'll get more productive and be in control the more. Dealers won't tell you this. OP. If you don't love your bf the way he is, leave him. True stoners can only change from personal experience. Not a pastor, prophet or rehab will change him. He'll have to get tired on his own. The withdrawals he's getting from the few hours of not smoking will soon annoy him, if it's not already. Try telling him to go on a tolerance break. Two weeks. It'll be hard for a daily smoker, but use the fact that he'll feel more from less hits to encourage him. Trying to make him stop for good is not the option. Even if he doesn't reach two weeks. As long as it's at least 2 days it's okay, it'll increase gradually. Complete control comes from regular T breaks. It took over a year for me to finally be able to smoke only occasionally. It's been about a month so far for me, and before then, it was just two days I smoked, because I wanted to chill. If you really care for him, you'll find out why he smokes. KNOW him. If truly it's hindering his progress, you'll know when you KNOW him. For some, it's productive, for some it stops being productive and just becomes something they can't stop. KNOW which it is. Don't let stigma affect your opinions. Research it yourself also. |
Properties / Re: Queen's Garden Estate,kuje-abuja* by MMElliot: 1:21pm On Apr 04, 2020 |
Seyi62: Also interested in pictures. Plus the areas you mentioned say nothing about the location of the estate in kuje. Capital science is at the far opposite end of Nig-Ghana, so is centenary. It's like Capital science is far North, Centenary is far west, and Nig-Ghana is far south. Also, what are the building terms on the land, since it's an estate? only bungalows, duplex or what? Pls note not everyone uses whatsapp. |

Obafisenco: Okay. So that's cement management, molding thick blocks. What are your thoughts on red/fired bricks? Also on fireproof? |
Properties / What's The Best, Strongest, Long Lasting Building Material To Use? by MMElliot: 11:53am On Apr 04, 2020 |
When building a house what's the best type of block or brick to use? I've lived in a house where I could literally pull out a nail from the wall with my hand (other houses in that estate fell during heavy rain), and in another where only multiple hits with a hammer on a concrete nail would enter the wall. I don't know anything about blocks and bricks, but plan on building on a land and would like strong materials only, also I heard red bricks are strong and keep the home cool during hot weather seasons. Any other cooler and stronger materials? I currently live in a house with red bricks on the outside, but I believe the interior is cement - normal wall nailing and some corners at the ground, between tile and door frames do break down into sand, but it's nothing near cool during this hot period. |

SultanOfPuna: Gays, trans and co. Some say partial/weak y chromosomes before birth cause it, as we're all females before the chromosomes change us to male. In the end it's to live true to self, instincts, and live a life you'll not regret. There's a clear difference between good and evil. Always pick what's good. Feed the good wolf. So many theories and philosophies about this life. Other planets still dey maybe with their own lifeforms, maybe just not visible to human eyes. Human relationships with animals too - They can sense how we feel, and can treat us accordingly, hence why some can relate with lions. All just deep. Funny thing is everyone might still be wrong. |

SultanOfPuna: Lol see as we derailed thread. With games, there's experience. You'll get better. It seems pointless having to see your review and not replay from experience. What's stopping one from making the same mistakes. Also, I wonder how many og spirits have been reincarnated. Or we're all just Adam and Eve reincarnated |
Autos / Re: Ford Excape 2008, How Reliable by MMElliot: 4:09pm On Mar 14, 2020 |
Have a neighbor going through headache with this car. I used to over look the whole Toyota hype, but if you really want reliability, get the Lexus RX. Save yourself stress. If not, plan to change car every year. Buy in good condition, manage, change after a year before problems start. Anything else is gambling |

SultanOfPuna: Def not a traditionalist. Never believed in them. And DEF didn't suffer all his life. RIP pops. It's been ages. To the main now, so after accepting death, is that when there's judgement? Some say it's immediately one dies, some say spirits have their realm to wait for judgement (which is when rapture happens) |

SultanOfPuna: I'm normally one to blame nollywood too, but, hmm. My dad passed away in his sleep horribly, and the days after, in another state, but in his home still, I could smell the odor that came from when he was turned over after death (he choked and oozing liquid came from his mouth - family village people said it some gunshot jazz, not choking. Idk.). The smell wasn't over the house, but like around when meetings were held, like he was there. Ruled it off as olfactory trauma, but reading this. Who knows. Till I die before I know if there's really anything after. |
Crime / Re: Policemen Chase Guest To Death At A Burial Service In Ogun by MMElliot: 3:19pm On Mar 14, 2020 |
Personally, I believe this story, if what the doc said is true. He could've run because he was smoking or just because he had the weed on him. And being anaemic (maybe ss), that run can definitely cause shortness of breath (just finishing a joint too can make his heart rate increase) and to continue running out of fear joined, fainting is very possible. Dude should'nt have pushed his health condition, last last he'll pay police. RIP to him. |
