ThT80, how have you done concerning the links I shared?

Mrscribe, I don't know how to go by you 'cos I've always seen you as a great reader. This thing THT80 did, it makes sense to you? He was merely trying to satisfy his ego, that's all I see. A guy who knows nothing about posting works on Nairaland comes here and spits trash and you support him? He spat on Royver; Repogirl; Larrysun; Kayemjay; Frank317; TiffanyJ and others! You're just unbelievable! Honestly.

You all, I insist, you cannot get the satisfaction of eating pounded yam from a free cup of garri. It is impossible. Quote me anywhere. You will go down.

THT80, mind you, I haven't sent you links to those of the echelons of this e-society. I will when you're done with the current ones.
Well, I have never hidden my admiration for the poetic beauty of your works but then, there is no denying the obvious fact that this section is full of some terrible writers who do not need encouragements but a piece of advice to quit.

Criticism comes either constructively or destructively; and the above, brother, is destructive criticism. That's not fair.
Nothing destructive about that, in my opinion, of course. If we want to save Literature, we have to weed out mediocrity. No good critic has the patience for bad writing. Quote me anywhere.

I noticed Divepen1 didn't push any story to front page this morning. Please guys, don't let this dude kill your morale. Critics like him have no idea how hard it is to write...to create something out of nothing...to create a whole new world in your head. There are a lot of great writers on this forum and I am so pained (not for myself) that this OP is making them feel like all they have done thus far has been rubbish.

And to you THT80, you are a heartless human being to have rubbished the efforts of the great writers in this section. Yes, there are some not so good writers, but for you to class all the writers together and say they have all written thrash shows the type of individual you are.
Bro, calm down. Are you a writer at all? Writers and critics are like brothers in Literature. A critic does not have to know how to write. You don't need to be a writer to appreciate literature. Even writers sometimes take on the role of critics. Take for instance, T.S. Elliot's criticism of Orwell's Animal Farm. Talk of William Golding and his many critics. One critic described his first novel "Lord of the Flies" as boring. Soyinka has been described by a section of critics as inaccessible.

Every time a publisher is preparing to release a book, they first send it out to a couple of critics. Do you know why? Because it is only from a critic that they can get honest opinions on the book.

slinkman:
what happens in Rwanda stays in Rwanda, what happens in Nigeria stays in Nigeria. Two has no business
So wildlife conservation should not be a Nigerian thing? Even very small African countries are into vigorous wildlife conservation while you all ignorantly deplete yours. Poaching is a very serious crime in sane countries but in Nigeria, it is nothing. In Indonesia, for instance, you can get 5 - 20 years for poaching. In Kenya, you can get life behind bars for killing an elephant without a license. In 2014 in South Africa, a man got 77 years for killing a rhino. Don't they have hungry people in this country too?

The bitter thing is this Nigerian thing of having laws that are not enforced. There is a game law in Nigeria and yet people continue to kill these animals without authorization. No wonder NatGeo Wild don't come near this place.
LiteratureRe: 10 Embarrassingly Non-existing Phrases That Are Hurting Your Writing by MrScribe:
Emmykego:
There is nothing as embarrassing as being ignorantly confident in error. You may have, on one or two instances, be posing off with some words/phrases, not knowing you’re deep in the pool of mistake; they’re non-existing phrases.

There could make you fell terribly bad after crafting out a ‘beautiful’ post around an idea.

Embarrassing? Jaw-dropping ? You do the job. Use whatever words suits you, my dear. You’re at liberty!

After observing conversations and reading through piles of texts, I found out that you, like many others, could have used these wrong, rather non-existing phrases:

Plumby:
Chances are that you’ve used this word to paint your friend who has some lump of flesh attached to his frame. Maybe I would forgive you because it is “Nigerian English.”

There is no need adding “y” to plumb when referring to that friend who has some fleshy meat glued to his bony structure.

Wrong: George’s girlfriend’s not plumby.

Right: George’s girlfriend’s not chubby/plumb.



Complimentary Card
“I’ll send give him my complimentary card“. That’s a wrong way to tell someone you’ll give him your BUSINESS CARD.

If you use complimentary, it means that you’re giving out a free copy of your product.

That informs why you have “COMPLIMENTARY COPY,” used as a promotional device by intellectual property owners.



Wrong: I gave Uche my complimentary card.

Right: I gave Uche my business card.



Delta citizen/indigenes
This one has been popularised by the media but some principalities in high places say that “indigene” is not an English word.

I was wondering, when I read “Delta citizens” in the news the other time, if my state had finally gotten independence and became a country.



Never say: “Delta citizens” since Delta is not a country or Delta indigenes.

Wrong: Delta state indigenes/citizens have been largely peaceful amidst the economic Kung Fu.

Right: Delta state natives have been largely peaceful amidst the economic Kung Fu.



4: Poke Nose

I know you used to tell your neighbour not to poke nose into your affairs again. But unku, it’s actually poke your nose into your affairs.



Wrong: Stop poke nosing into my affairs, biko!

Right: Don’t poke your nose into my affairs, e jor!



Luxurious Bus
Trust me, I heard and used this confidently while growing up until the scales fell off my eyes.

Nigerians use it to describe a large bus which can take in more persons than the normal bus.

Wrong: I took a luxurious Bus to Ikeja on Saturday.

Right: I took a luxury bus to Ikeja today.



Comity of Nation
If you’re a politically inclined person, you know that this is used in reference to the gathering of nations.

However, that is a wrong judgement of the phrase. Comity of nation is the respect countries have for one another.



Wrong: Nigeria is envied in the comity of nations.

Right: Nigeria is envied in the community of nations.



Barbing Salon.
No much talk on this as there is no word as “barbing” in that context.



Wrong: I went to the barbing salon.

Right: I went to the hair salon.



Screen touch
In this digital age, you may have been guilty of using it to describe a mobile device that responds to touch.

However, that’s wrong. See how to use it:



Wrong: My phone is a screen touch.

Right: My phone is touch screen.



PS: Some dictionaries cum authorities in the language disagree with some of these ‘non-existing phrases. However, you could make do of them in ‘non-standard’ usage.




http://theflowingink.com/10-embarrassingly-non-existing-phrases-hurting-writing/
I disagree with "indigene" being a wrong word. Indigene is just as apt a word as "native".

TV/MoviesRe: 50+ Examples Of Cartoon Logic That Will Make You Facepalm by MrScribe: 8:23pm On Sep 05, 2017
RoyalBlak007:
According to animator Art Babbitt, "Animation follows the laws of physics—unless it is funnier otherwise." The idea that cartoons behave differently compared to the real world (but not randomly) is almost as old as animation itself. For example, Walt Disney already talked about "the plausible impossible" in 1956.

The journey that started some years back just came to a beautiful end!! Today i stopped carrying the tag " Undergraduate" around!!

First of all, i thank God for his mercy and love towards me for "without God we can do nothing". I thank my ever supportive parents, my lovely brothers and my sweet sister.

I thank my beautiful readers and the lovely people of Nigeria ... MAY God continue to bless you all.

And today, I remember my Late Cousin and Roommate, Nkiruka Anthonia Ikeanyionwu (The only surviving child of my mother's late sister) who was killed during Biafra protest on the 2nd day of December, 2015, while on her way to Onitsha to get her school fees receipt, I pray that God through his infinite mercy welcomes you into his eternal glory.

And to the the entire "blogosphere" may God continue to strengthen us all!! The reward for hard work is more work!! May we never get tired of using the internet!!! ... Lol.

Thank you Nairaland , Ever grateful.

RomanceRe: How To Beat Your Girlfriend/wife by MrScribe: 7:11pm On Sep 05, 2017
Riwo11:
Don't be too logical about this topic. I know some people would be wondering what I meant. Some might assume I made a mistake. The truth is that I know what I am saying.
There are some strategic ways to BEAT your spouse.
Sit back and relax as we deliberate on this short topic.
.
RECOMMENDED WAYS TO BEAT YOUR WIFE/SPOUSE
.
The truth of the matter is that most times, women can be annoying and it take the grace of God for a man not to react.
There is difference between REACTION & RESPONSE.
A lot of men react to their spouse/wife behaviour instead of them to respond.
Here is how a man responded to his wife by BEATING her strategically.
Check this out!
.
I am a king & married to a queen. Such don't happen in a palace like ours. This is the way I 'beat' my wife and I recommended it for Mr. Friday who happen to be my senior friend & I am recommending it for all men.
The reason why my Queen can't leave me is because she is enjoying the beating.
If you see yourself as a King and your spouse as a Queen, you will find it hard to react to situation, rather you respond to it. Most times response are done with discretion.
Your response to varying attitude and behaviour disbursed by your spouse is a function of the level of your maturity physically and emotionally.
The word B.E.A.T is an acronym.
This is the recommended way we should beat her. I beat her by:
B- BEAUTIFYING HER.
E- ENCOURAGING HER.
A- ASSISTING HER.
T- TREATING HER AS A QUEEN.
No woman can die in your hands no matter how many times you beat her in a day as long as you do it the way I do it to my Queen. I know this is the way women will love their husbands to beat them.
There can't be divorce or separation if we 'beat' our wives like this.
When you use belt, wire, blow, knife, slap, or any domestic violence means on your wife, you are worthy to be awarded a duplex at Neuro Psychiatric Hospital or you can go there yourself and tell them to detain you there until you are okay.
For all excellent husbands, follow that syllabus I have given you on how I beat my own Queen daily & go and do likewise.

So, if she pulls a knife on you, you will beautify her with your blood, encourage her to stab you, assist her to stab you and come out of the land of the dead to treat her like a queen.

All these sissies self.

That's not true and you know it!!
I know he was created by man that is why everyone thinks of him as a man. That is why they think he needs messengers and an army (angels), that is why they think he must have his own kingdom (heaven).

That is why he has the nature of man: anger, regrets, jealousy.

That was why he created light before sun (because the men that created him did not know that the light of the day comes from the sun).

That is why the army in heaven uses swords and horses (because the men who created God never thought that the world would later create advanced technology).

And so many other instances.
