Offer home services to about 20 of ur former customers n u shld b good until u open a barbing saloon of ur own.

U shld ve gotten d contacts of those dt liked ur barbing b4 leaving with this plan in mind.

NB u dnt need to buy anything BC those dt can afford home services already have a clipper of their own. Now see d next plan approach wealthy family women/men give them ur contact n offer to come to their house to Barb all their children plus hubby. Use church or big private nursery/primary schools to share ur services via handbills or whatever.

The government has been called upon to as a matter of urgency look into a dehumanizing case of child brutality. This call came from one Mr. Femi Micheal Ojo who posted the following photos on his Facebook page with a call for the a search for the teacher involve to be brought to justice. According to Mr. Ojo;

This can't b done by a teacher but by a woman he serves as house help. No cane can give such deep cuts n d boys school uniform would have been soaked with blood. This is d hand work of some wicked madam probably d boy stole her money or meat frm soup pot, we ve seen worst cases

I have being married for 5years and sadly I still dont feel so close to my husband. I got the bible says when two come together they become one. That is that become friends, right? But sadly it doesn't feel like it. My hubby is the kind that likes FULL time respect; greet me when you wake up in the morning, great me when I come back from work, (yes wives please greet your hubbys oo) am heading somewhere with this please dont judge me yet, don't go out without telling me, don't put your hands in my pocket, what are you looking for, don't talk
while am talking (that is even understandable tho) many more I can't mention. Don't tap me on my shoulders of you want to talk to me, don't,don't,don't. He also isnt romantic, he hates me bin romantic around him, it gets him upset. Its bin 4years plus and we still argue ALOT. I thought they said the first 3years is the time of misunderstandings but its 4years now and still nothing has really changed. Sometimes i try to make him talk maybe am not doing something right, and he just always seems to find a fault. Either I don't have respect or I don't have respect or I don't obey him everything calls to respect. Well it's not like I don't respect him or I just wake up in the morning and start disrespecting him. No, it's always in the cause of an argument so while am trying to justify myself or win the case, the disrespect sorts of crops it's way in, but fews hours later you will see me back all over him, trying to make peace but by then I have lost all my worth. he is way closer to his mum and sister than even to me.he prefers to shares all his secrets with them then with me. Last two weeks was like the saddest day of my life in this marriage journey. He bought a car for his mum,he didn't tell me,the car slept in the house over night I didn't know, on my way back from my outing I saw my hubby in a new car driving down with his mum, In amazement I came down to ask whose car it was and howcome I was kept in the dark, then his mum said "it's my car didn't you know?" I felt like a stranger all over again. I called his mum on the phone few mins after I left the embarrasing scene to ask why her son didn't share the good news to me knowing fully well an not against him buying her a car. And she said my husband said i didn't greet my hubby the night before and also that morning. Yes I remeber not greeting him the night vefore cause we had little ish and i just tot to do small shakara, then my not greeting him that morning wasn't intentional, I even apologised immediately my husband cautioned me and I thought we were fine. But I guess we weren't. This is where friendship comes in marriage. No matter what you patner does( as long as it's not adultery or some other serious things I know some women can do.) I feel you should still be able to still give her the respect due. Abi I really wish out vind could grow stronger, it's bin 4years andmy hubby doenst know my dress size, or shoe size or favorite artist or favourite food, my choice of music, my choice of anything, he hardly laughs at my joke, I can't tickle him or throw a pillow at him he will term it as lack of repect, I can't call him "ode"while joking he will say am rude, Its plenty ooo. I tot marriage was more you both becoming friends. Don't you think life is too short to be rigid ALL the time. My husband is very rigid it scares me alot if I would be able to go on for long.. I love him very much than anything in the world but he doesn't feel that way or that much for me. Not like he doesn't love me. But I think I love him more. So we are probably not on the same page. i want to be the one he can run to anyday anytine, share his secrets with, want to be the one that has the power to put the best smile on his face, but each time i try, i fail. WHY?? Is there still hope. Anyone in the house who has testimonies of marriage getting better after 4years. Cause i feel if you fail the first 3years you may never get it right. Mhen ladies you got to get it RIGHT from the beginning to avoid stories..

Ur husband is a traditional African man and wants traditional African marriage. Y shld greeting ur husband always even when u have issues be a problem? U want to call him ode jokingly when playing dts a no no for him. Pls adjust to ur husband's personality and stop trying to change him. 4yrs is sufficient to kw him n wat works with him. This is marriage not a nollywood love scene

Aisha Buhari’s Embarrassing Grammatical Infelicities at USIP

By Farooq A. Kperogi, Ph.D.
Twitter: @farooqkperogi

I am aware that this article won’t endear me to
several of my thin-skinned Buhari/APC
partisan readers who, interestingly, wildly
acclaimed my past articles that pilloried
former First Lady Patience Jonathan’s
sidesplitting grammatical transgressions. But I
am never one to shy away from embarking on
what I’m convinced is a just and fair
undertaking because of a fear of backlash from
mawkish, hypersensitive crybabies.

In any case, in my Saturday column—and in
my Facebook status updates—I have defended
Wife of the President Aisha Buhari against
Gov. Ayo Fayose’s brash and reckless calumny
against her. In an ironic twist, it was her bid to
give the lie to Fayose’s charge that she couldn’t
visit the US without being arrested that caused
her to come here and give a speech at the
United States Institute of Peace (USIP) that is
the subject of this column.

Mrs. Aisha Buhari’s speech at the United States
Institute of Peace didn’t rise to the level of
former First Lady Patience Jonathan’s
legendary contortion of English grammar, but
it was inexcusably egregious nonetheless, not
least because it was supposed to be the
product of preparation and forethought.
In general, the speech was riotously
incoherent, lacked lexical and semantic
discipline, and was peppered with avoidably
ugly and elementary grammatical infractions.

Mrs. Buhari vacillated between reading from a
prepared script and speaking off the cuff. But
the prepared speech and Mrs. Buhari’s
extemporizations were indistinguishable: both
were tortured, infantile, error-ridden, and
cringe-worthy. Winston Churchill’s famous
putdown of his opponent—"He spoke without
a note and almost without a point."—seems to
apply to the Wife of the President. (Watch the
video below.)

Below are highlights of the infelicities that
stood out like a sore thumb during Mrs.
Buhari’s 10-minute speech at the United States
Institute of Peace in Washington, DC:

1. Subject-verb agreement. Like Patience
Jonathan—and former President Goodluck
Jonathan—Aisha Buhari doesn’t seem to have
any respect for subject-verb concord rules in
English grammar. These howlers illustrate this:

“I want to…thank the international community
for giving us a solutions…,” “those that
needs to be…,” “the school have been
running…,” “adult ones that needs the
opportunity.”

Most people know that a singular subject (such
as “the school”) agrees with a singular verb
(such as “has”) and a plural subject (such as
“those,” “adult ones”) agrees with a plural verb
(such as “need” instead of “needs.”) That means
the Wife of the President should have said,
“those that need to be,” “the school has been
running,” “adult ones that need the
opportunity.”

Of course, “a solutions” is a self-evident
bloomer: you don’t pluralize a noun that is
preceded by the indefinite article “a” because
“a” signals nominal singularity. In other words,
“a solutions” is both ungrammatical and
illogical since it implies nominal plurality and
singularity simultaneously. It is either
“solutions” or “a solution.”

2. Redundant pronoun. Pronouns typically
take the place of a noun and save us the
torment of ungainly repetition. That’s why, in
Standard English, pronouns don’t typically
appear in the same sentence as the nouns they
refer to. In her USIP speech, Mrs. Buhari said
the following: “As you are all aware, Boko
Haram issue, it is a global issue attached to
terrorism, which need [sic] to be addressed
globally.”

“Boko Haram issue” is the antecedent for the
pronoun “it” in the sentence quoted above,
which makes the pronoun superfluous since it
appears in the same sentence as its
antecedent. “Boko Haram is a global issue…”
would convey the same meaning—and without
the ungrammatical baggage. I admit, though,
that redundant pronouns of the kind I
identified in Mrs. Buhari’s speech occur in
nonstandard native English dialects. But we are
talking of an official speech in a formal context
in a foreign, English-speaking country.

The sentence also violates the basic principle
of pronoun-antecedent agreement. The
principle says, “A pronoun usually refers to
something earlier in the text (its antecedent)
and must agree in number — singular/plural
— with the thing to which it refers.” The
phrase “which need” refers to “Boko Haram
issue,” which is a singular subject that needs a
singular verb, i.e., “needs.”

3. A curious resultant “done.” During her
speech, Mrs. Buhari praised the University of
Maiduguri for remaining open even in the
worst moments of Boko Haram insurgency.
“The university really done us proud,” she
said. This is a misuse of the past participle
“done” that linguists call the “resultant done.”

It is curious because it is typical of the
informal, nonstandard (and sometimes
illiterate) speech of the American south.

In Standard English, the sentence would be
reworded as, “The university has done us
proud.” If we want to be faithful to Mrs.
Buhari’s lexical and structural choice, we would
rephrase it as, “The university really did us
proud.”

4. Buhari’s government as a “recent
regime.” Mrs. Buhari puzzlingly referred to
her husband’s administration as “the recent
regime.” Here is the context: After thanking
the “international community” for its military
and financial support that led to the defeat of
Boko Haram, in a rather awkward transition,
the Wife of the President said, “In which the
recent regime has done so far considering
what we inherited—the level of insecurity
in the country—we can now say that we
successfully fought the Boko Haram
insurgency.”

Apart from the weak, messy transition, that’s
some really dizzyingly incoherent verbal
blizzard!

But the bigger issue is that she called the
current administration “a recent regime.”
There are two problems with that. First, the
word “recent,” especially when it is applied to
administrations, implies an immediate past,
that is, that which precedes the present. It is
both ungrammatical and illogical to speak of an
incumbent administration as “recent.”

Second, there is always a tone of disapproval
when a government is referred to as a
“regime.” That is why the word is often
reserved for military and other totalitarian
governments. Even the Associated Press
Stylebook defines “regime” as “the period in
which a person or system was in power, often
with a negative connotation. For example,
Saddam Hussein’s regime, the Nazi regime.” I
hope Mrs. Buhari doesn’t consider her husband
as the honcho of a regime.

5. “Academicians.” Mrs. Buhari called
university lecturers in the audience
“academicians.” Well, it’s OK to refer to
university teachers as “academicians” in
Nigeria and in other non-native English-
speaking countries, but it doesn’t hurt to learn
the proper form when you address native
speakers in their own territory. Educated
native English speakers call university teachers
“academics,” not “academicians.”

He is a well known nairalander , but I am sure he had to create this knew moniker to protect his previous identity on naira land. He is using his real name. You can search his name on Google. Anyways only the wise would take advantage of this opportunity ...my two cents✌

His new moniker gave him away nobody trusts new moniker on Nl. Only scammers use brand new moniker to do good or beg. Let him use his original nl moniker n he will get over 70% trust BC it will help us see his antecedents

An email is easier to create than an instagram account, gmail preferably. I hope this isn't just a smart way of getting people's ideas, or some other trick especially in this recession. Sounds too good to be true since its strangers you'd be helping.

He wants to sample ideas of ppl free of charge
I stopped reading his epistle when I saw he is using a brand new moniker created on 5th August, smelling of scam, working hard to conceal his identity b4 he scams ppl of their biz ideas

I got married three years ago and had a sixteen month old son whom I loves so much. Everything was going on fine until hubby lost his job and the family started depend on my petty business for survival.
I never gave him a reason to worry over his joblessness but discovering that am pregnant despite using contraceptive is killing me.
He want me to keep the baby but am total against it.
I know this is a trying period and things will be better but having another child under this circumstantances is what I can't deal with.
Tell me, am I wrong to opt for abortion?
Am I wrong to place my little boy before any other thing?
Ur advise will help me make the right decision.

Abortion is evil and unthinkable in marriage, u really wanna kill ur baby. Pls keep d baby and let ur hubby go n hustle. God will see u ppl through. Dt baby may jst b d miracle ur family needs, hubby might land a good job few months after his/her birth

If he can drive he shld buy a mini bus or taxi n go into transport biz. With 600k he is good to go

Food, transport, housing, beer palour biz will do well even in this depressed Buhari economy

Nothing new,I know a 44 old lady that just got pregnant within a month without IVF,she came down to Naija to meet with her husband who still stays there. She will have the baby at about 45yrs.

It's special for any lady above 40yrs to be pregnant, it's a miracle for any lady above 50 yrs to b pregnant. It's normal for a lady below 39yrs to b pregnant

Flat head okezie Ikpeazu is aware of the state of Ariaria market dude is an ngwa man n grew up in aba. Ta orji n his son chinedu has crippled him financially n he can't do nothing. Nothing good will come out of okezie until he denounces those evil men

The money you get from Rent will finish within 2 months or 6 months if you have several aparment then you must wait till the end of the year before you can get another one
Beside you can never get money to build an estate without investment,building houses is a very wrong choice
I'm talking from experience,they wont pay you and you are going to suffer,dont believe everything you read online about real estate,its not for one man it's only suitable for group or people or organization

D uncertainty associated with other investments relative to building for rentage is more. If I ve 25m and a plot of land in a relatively developed place where three bed room flat goes for abt 450k per yr, I think I will b better off with three storey building with 8 flats with dt I shld make a abt 3.6m per yrs or 2.7m per yr if 25m can only finish 6 flats. With dt my investment is secure even if olodo buhari remains President forever.

D first rule of investment is security for principal

You can never be a billionair if you are building houses,house is an asset not investment,making 20k daily is better than earning 5million naira per annum
Even if you build 100 apartment block,a person who started business with just 100.000 naira will surely be richer than you at long run

Have u ever heard abt security of principal in investment dts wat u get more with building relative to other forms of investments. Building for renting is an everlasting investment dt always appreciates
