Dem don buy her destiny And to think this was the same girl Atiku made youth ambassador or something for his campaign. Thank God Atiku is not President, he might have employed Regina as Finance Minister of Nigeria. Buhari's leadership is far from excellent, but Atiku's own would have been worst. All the oloshos would have been enjoying billions by now, that's what PDP is good at

Hahahaha. That sounds funny. I am in total discord with your statement.

I said Nigeria would win this one and they did.

Nigeria would win this one.

Sportdab:

Tears of joy. In life, you should never give up.

How stupid can some brainwashed people be,with all the souls lost due to this Boko Haram campaign, is this what this guy was posted to the state to do? I am 100% sure that even the GENERAL OVERSEER/ FOUNDER of the CHURCH he claimed to belong to will not risk his life to so called evangelism in the volatile state

That's right too. Some folks would forever remain foolish.

mysticgal:
it depends on the circumstance tho

In fairness, it doesn't. If these Nigerian women could first of all ponder this, no man or guy will take them for a ride.

mysticgal:
It is now a new trend in Nigeria (as it may seem)to leave dates stranded with bills and this is tilting towards the female folks.
Guys, leaving a lady at a restaurant without paying your bills after you both agreed to meet doesn't make you much better than she is. Besides, calling her a slayqueen and still trying to take her out meant you needed to know her,date her or even have sex with her prompting the meet up which makes it a good oppourtunity to reason together in order to avoid conflict of interests. Forget the flimsy excuse you are about bringing up in your mind already. No one held you at gun point to pay for the food or even say no to the bogus request by the lady. You could tell the lady how much you intend to spend for the date and if she refuses that,then the date could be called off. What fun is derived from embarrassing her?

Look, i am not trying to justify a lady bringing her friends to a date or even requesting for really expensive meals. All I'm saying is that, taking the right and moral step to curb an excess like this would as well bring change like the stranding brouhaha.

Meanwhile Ladies,you can't keep putting unnecessary tags to dates especially first dates. "It must be an expensive restaurant, i must drink wine, I must take away for my friends"..that is bull crap. The culture of cutting your coat according to your cloth needs to be reiterated to you girls. You don't need to look and eat expensive to make a date a good one.

Fam,the term ' Date' does not necessarily have to be attached to food,malls or restaurants. There are museums and other fun places you could go to for dates. Save yourselves the embarrassments.
Truthfully, for dates,I have eaten in 5 star restaurants countless of times without me requesting to be taken there, neither have i been left stranded with bills. All i am just saying is that we should be matured about this whole thing and focus on making ourselves better. Be matured fam.

I think the best thing here is to go Dutch. I pay mine, you pay yours. But in Africa, it's a different ball game in the sense that the women expect you to pay for theirs.

DonBenny77:
Some problems are self inflicted.

I would never carry a bible and evangelize openly in a northern state its like embarking on suicide mission

That's right.

Fit-for-purpose...
You don't dress the same way you dress to the beach to the job (unless of course your job is going to the beach ), and yet both are proper.

That's right.

9jaRealist:
Ok, I get it.

I'm glad you got it now. Have a nice day and bye for now!

This is particularly why some of them don't go far in coaching profession.

9jaRealist:
Abegi, which school did you go to?
Ever heard of "cross your ts and dot your i's"? Standards are falling everyday.

Obviously, you misinterpreted that. What I mean here is if for instance you wrote a very good article, but had one or two misspelled words, these mistakes are usually ignored.

Opiletool:
Dude shut your arrogant stinking mouth up and learn. I will not school you further, like I said, a simple Google search will cure your gift-wrapped ignorance.

Keep on wallowing about!

TheVictorious:
Let me help your grammar. This is how you should have put it properly...

"Last time, a young boy told me a bird could fly. I said absolutely not. It could not fly (i.e. I said it could not fly). I discovered later that he had pronounced "bird" incorrectly. Then I told him that bird could not be pronounced as bed.

Most schools in Nigeria have so many unqualified teachers".

And for the pronunciation of bird ...what is it supposed to be?

I wrote it that way so that folks here would understand better. I only concentrated on the two words in the context. You could see how I used these two words. That is just pronunciation.

Opiletool:
How am I wrong? A simple Google search will prove op wrong.

Often
/ˈɒf(ə)n,ˈɒft(ə)n/

As for no 9, read this example,

"we are looking for a leader that can take the country out of recession".

Tell me the use of 'that' in that context is wrong.

Please change that to who. If you really want to learn English, then you have to learn in a native way.

Last time, a young boy told me bed can fly. I said absolutely not. It cannot fly. I discovered later that he had pronounced "bird" incorrectly. Then I told him that bird cannot be pronounced as bed.

Amazingman:
Beautiful, now I respect Ghanaians and the way they speak English language. Naija we speak something out of context .

Yes, the Ghanaians are a lot better than the Nigerians.

opparadise:
You are not totally right; 'that' may be used for both humans and things as scholars still argue it, while 'who' is clearly for humans. .

In native English, who is much better.

Opiletool:
No 9 is wrong. 'That' can also be used for human. It is 'which' that only applies for things and animals.

No 11. 'often', there is nothing wrong pronouncing the word with the /t/ sound being audible.

You crack me up here. OP is fundamentally right, while you are wrong.

OP, change the headline to some unconventional grammatical blunders to avoid in English Language.

delugajackson:
Our security agencies have been reduced to a mere joke. Is she a government official? Is she highly placed? What's her position in the society?

Can you try this nonsense in other countries? Why insult our collective intelligence? Damn it! This country is doomed!

The country is now a caricature.

eyinjuege:
But you would also get a fail with your spelling of the word "standrard" That's very poorly written.

Oh, looking at it that way, you will understand is a keyboard error. Minor error in English is not marked. It's ignored.

Hey everyone, any English which is non standard is wrong. In school, you are taught to speak and write standard English. I studied with native speakers and I know what I'm talking about. Some of these American English you read online is wrong like I wanna, I'm gonna and so on.

I can't ask my children to start using "flewed" instead of "flown" because some crazy artists used it otherwise I will put their education in jeopardy out there.

kristian98:
Ode, now tell me the meaning of standrard
That's what you wrote

Get off my mentions with your poor English.

Some of you would write or speak this kind of non standard English in an IELTS or TOEFL Test and expect to score high? You are joking.

matify83:
Infact, the flew also has e. d. on it!!

However, it could be a slang or colloquial we may not be conversant with. You can never tell.

Flew also has ed? Hahahaha. You flewed from Nigeria to America. Clap for yourself.

That's spoken English, not written English. Also, that English is obviously non standrard. We are talking about standard English here, not non standard English or slangs. Please do try to understand me.

swiperthefox:
She is correct according to Urban dictionary. Also according to Google:

Flewed

You'll most likely hear this when someone is bragging about getting "flewed out." It means that someone got flown out (hopefully on an aircraft of some kind) to a place. The word was made popular by Yung Miami of City Girls, and the difference between flown and flewed is that the latter applies to "bad" (read attractive) people .

The English is wrong. It's non standrard.

eyinjuege:
Flewed is a hip hop kinda slang. It was deliberate. Stating is obviously just autocorrect. The no of times my words have been replaced by another word is uncountable, especially when you're typing cast.

Yeah, the last word above should be FAST, and not cast.

Hello, stop defending mediocrity.

Handsomecole:
Imagine instead of "flown" . Foreign graduate , masters holder for that matter . Money for school fees don burn.

That's right

TVTKOKO:
all these prophets of doom sef

Aystarz:
Arsenal are condemned to win this one for the fans though. No club fan has suffered as much as Arsenal fans in the last couple of weeks. They owe us big time.

Sorry to tell you that Arsenal also cannot win today.

This particular match is going to be interesting. Chelsea may likely lose.
