Quote me

Fixed.

After the 3 nil defeat handed Watford Chelsea was already thru. Worse case they will draw Leicester. Spurs was put on the spot after their series of losses. Had MunU or arsenal won today, spurs for dey shake by now.

Wiseandtrue:
Sometimes I wonder what the office of Mr. President does other than defend his failures

This is a president who is suppose to see to the well being of Nigeria as a whole but has politicized everything

Look at decay everywhere

Lord please give Atiku/Obi victory! 4years is too long to wait!

What in your opinion will Atiku do differently if he becomes president.

Some Grammatical Blunders You Should Avoid

We make some grammatical blunders everyday in our interactions with others. I once visited a private school and was disappointed that the instructors in the school were not laying a good foundation for sound grammar for the kids. Children are very sensitive to copying what they see or hear. Teachers in schools and parents at home should be mindful of this because kids copy a lot and are greatly prone to accept what they hear as correct.

Below are some grammatical blunders we should avoid while speaking, especially, to kids:

1) 'Stop matching me' (WRONG).
Instead, say ' Stop stepping on me'. To 'match'
means to walk with quick calculated steps in unison
by a group of people, especially, in the military.

2) 'He is my junior brother' (WRONG).
Instead, they 'He is my younger brother'.

3) 'On my way to Lagos, I'll branch my sister's house'
(WRONG). Instead, say 'On my way to Lagos, I'll visit
my sister or I'll go to my sister's house'. There's no
verb as 'branch' in English which means the same
thing intended by the speaker.

4) 'I saw your missed calls' (WRONG).
Instead, say 'I missed your calls'. The calls were
missed because you didn't pick or not disposed to
do that.

5) 'He is drinking mineral' (WRONG).
Instead, say 'He is drinking mineral water or soda'.
Minerals are natural deposits, they are not foods or
beverages.

6) 'My car is more better than yours' (WRONG).
Instead, say 'My car is better than yours'. MORE and
BETTER are both comparative adjectives. Two
comparative adjectives are not used in same
sentence.

7) 'On the long run' (WRONG).
instead, say 'In the long run'.

8. 'Either Bisi or Ade are coming' (WRONG).
Instead, say 'Either Bisi or Ade is coming'. There are
two subjects in the sentence but only one person will be coming which makes it singular. Remember, 'IS' is a singular verb while 'ARE' is a plural verb.

9) 'Those are the men that caught the thieves'
(WRONG).
Instead, say 'Those are the men who caught the
thieves. 'WHO' and 'THAT' are relative pronouns
in this context. While 'who' is used for humans, 'that'
is used for things and animals.

10) 'They are discussing about the weather' (WRONG).
Instead, say 'They are discussing the weather.

The rest are more of Oral English, Phonics or Speech. That's speaking right.

11) OFTEN, LISTEN - Pronounce them without the letter 'T'. Such as 'ofen' and 'lisen'.
12) PERFECT - Pronounce it as 'pefekt' and not 'pafekt'
13) ATE (past tense of eat) - Pronounce it as 'et' not 'hate'.
14) MARKET, POCKET, BUCKET, ROCKET, etc - Pronounce them as 'markit', 'pockit', 'buckit' and 'rockit'.
15) BUS - It's pronounced correctly as 'bas'.
16) SUITE (in hotels) - Pronounce it as 'sweet' and not 'suit'.
17) EXAMPLE, EXAMINATION - Pronounce them as 'eexample' and 'eexamination' respectively.
18) MILD - Pronounce it as 'mald'.
19) NEEDED (past tense of need) - Pronounce it as 'needid'.
20) COME - Pronounce it as 'cam'.

For those taking IELTS, TOEFL and other English proficiency tests, you need to pay particular attention to the LISTENING SECTION. You may easily misunderstand the speaker if you don't pay attention to things you think do not matter.

We all have an opportunity to learn everyday. Strive to learn new things everyday.

God bless you.

Nice. Quite helpful.

While improving your IGR, it will also be important to reduce cost of governance Mr Governor

Obaseki holds the record for reduced cost of governance in Nigeria. Very modest. Does not waste money on project commissioning jamboree. Only 4cars in his convoy. No loitering around govt house by political jobbers. No comissioner or SA/SSA uses more than one car (no police escort except where it is very necessary and the police man will seat in same car. Commissioners use pajero and not Prado or land cruiser. No new cars were bought for appointees ( they were giving the ones oshiomole bought. Some use 2009/10. Prudently servicing the debt oshobaba left behind without borrowing more. So much more cost cutting initiative put in place by this man.

[quote author= post=77984824]Good for her and her family.
No one should ever be killed for a crime they did not commit.

Her family/father brought a good and solid case to Nigerian government that their daughter is innocent and drug was planted in her luggage, and the people involved have been arrested already.

But still, some animals and children of hate and perdition that tribalism and religion shenanigans have eaten deep into their dumb skulls are still telling us the president intervened because she is a muslim!
How many other people brought a case of them being innocent that Nigeria government ever turned a blind eye to for many decades now?!
Foolish animals, that have no brains, ALWAYS sad about any good thing in life.

If you like, don't advice your brothers and sisters to STOP doing drugs, they will ALWAYS be jailed beheaded in a foreign land till forever.
Bastards are in pains for an innocent life saved!
Damn it!![/quote]My thought exactly.... Some pple are too stupid to share our common space with.

amaniro:
It's Good. But i know that Omasaro Ali ovie is a partisan person. An APC apologist.

Do you mean his party leaning cast some Shadow of doubt on the story?

doctor306:

Bru nor try am oooo. Maybe the ones dem dey pay that much na the ones wey dey do suicide bombing. After the suicide bomber die dem send him relative $3k. Look am well ooo. Hahahahahahaha

Hedonini:
Pretend to be intelligent, even if you're not. In spite all the long English you spewed, you couldn't mention one thing. Just one that the governor can do to quell the insecurity.

What has intellectual prowess got to do with the mess you pple have caused. You are just to blind and hatefilled to admit the obvious. Olodo following another olodo naim you be. Mumu posing like human being. Pretending like you did not know how amaechi tacked the miscreants. Una too mumu for that side. Maybe you nor even dey rivers state sef. Keyboard warrior.

Hedonini:
Mention one thing you expect Wike to do about the security situation in Rivers State.

Nawa ooooo. So what does he use the security vote for. How come these killings only increased since he took over. Don't tell me you do not know that the gov of a state can do so much in checking insecurity in his state. For your info, not one but many things he can do for his pple security wise. Unfortunately, many of you are too blinded with hate for amaechi that you don't see wike's errors. Na Una god go help Una.

TechCapon:
safe to some extent

Tnx.

TechCapon:
If you've never been to rivers state before and you're planning to visit let me warn you of the areas to avoid. Avoid Emohua, Aluu, Ahoada west, Ahoada east, omoku, Akuku toru, eleme, ogoni, okrika and diobu. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Thanks for this info. How about Owerri to PHC

PhenomenalMorgan:
We need to tighten security in our dear state..
The neighbourhood safety watch commission was an urgent remedy to to the security crisis in Rivers state...
Too bad that APC, and The Nigerian Army fought against a commission against that was constituted by Rivers House of Assembly!!!

Continue to blame APC. Too bad you can't say the truth of the matter..

boyfwend:
I don't no what Rivers is turning to. I'm sick and tired of reading bad news about my state.
Emohua is the camp for kidnappers.

But some pple (I don't know if you share their sentiment ) say it's ameachi that is killing rivers pple. I just wonder how they forgot how ameachi fortified rivers state in order to check these miscreants. The rivers state govt of today prefers to play politics with the situation.
All the security gadgets and equipment bought by amaechi including chopper were prevented from coming into the state/ country. Most pple hailed Jonathan then. Who dey suffer am now....

Congratulations to all yesterday winners, let do more today, DM or WhatsApp

Are you truly happy with how yiu spam and mess around? It's guys like you seun kuti is talking about. You have prepared your life for whatever treatment is meted on you after your actions. With the phone numbers you drop here I believe they will find you out some day soon. Let's see how it goes.

Bitter truth. These guys are a product of this same environment. One good thing though , is the oppressors and animals in human skin have not updated in their outdated tactics. It's just a matter of time the pple will rise. Thanks to tech. Connecting the dots is like speed of light today.
Pple say Nigerians are not serious. Nigerians do not want to die and so on. Trust me the day the bubble will burst it will look like a bad dream to the oppressors. Sudan is the last country anyone would consider in a revolution. However, they proved everyone wrong.

tyrone07:
Resisting arrest is also an offence. As much as I am not in support of extrajudicial killings and excessive use of force but these police officers have a job to do as well. They might having been tracking the man for some time now and they finally nabbed him. I have seen many cases like this.
If you have been a victim once you will certainly appreciate the work of the police. Let them disband SARS and see how many of us will be able to sleep with our eyes closed with the spate of robberies that will follow.

Who and what in your opinion embolden armed robbers. The moment we have a sane police our security problem 90% solved. What you see the robbers do is just one part of a vicious cycle. What you have said is like "withdraw all the police escorts attached to big men and dubious politicians and see if the big men can sleep in their house". Now the question to you is ; are the police meant for only those who can pay special fees?
Withdraw their escorts and watch how things get better.
So my friend, a working police and serious organisation shouldn't employ crude methods in discharging their duties irrespective of what the suspect has done.

indigenous234:
Good for him. In as much as we criticize the police for their unprofessional attitudes and conducts, the much needed reform of the police will never come to be, without a corresponding reform of the weird mentality of Nigerians who continue to show rudeness and outright rascality to the men in uniform.

He should be dealt with in the same manner as the police that brutalize innocent citizens.

That's my take.

Na word you dey talk so?
Ohh you think the police will feed him cake and chilled juice in their station right?
First, you are not a Nigerian.
Secondly , your post is too far from the reality on ground.

There's a saying that "since men have learn how to shoot without missing birds have also learn how to fly without perching. it's the police crude attitude towards the pple that made that man and many others resist them.

On the reform bill, it's a waste of time and a serious futile effort. If I have time I will talk about the many flaws in it.

yerokunphilips:
People managing the affair of this country today knows absolute nothing about economy , security and promotion of unity among the people ,if they truly do ,economy will not collapsed under their watch ,security will not collapsed under their watch and Nigerian will not be this divided under their watch .

On the contrary they know what they are doing. Ever imagined why there's a separate vote for security at all levels of govt. Do you know how difficult it will be to loot if these foreign and dubious policies are not there. The west will kill anyone who tries to stand on his own.
The insecurity, hunger, religious intolerance and so on are all products of carefully planned onslaught on developing nations.

GidiWoodsMan:
The question is what did their parents actually do to afford that lifestyle for them back in the day? 3.5 mil per term school is definitely not for the middle class, even less 20 years ago. So why don't people like him just do what the parents did, continue running the family business and just keep getting richer?

My guess is that there was never any business to begin with. Maybe their parents were the jobbers who brought Nigeria to its knees in the first place, now they are either retired or dead, so no more access to free money. Of course the kids of today's political class and their proxies are the ones attending 3.5 million per term schools now. And guess what? Themselves and their parents are eating the future of Nigeria, today. Those kids will surely come back here too, to lament when their parents are dead.

Apt...

Nothing more to add.

JasonScoolari:
A good transfer buy from the PDP. Amaechi was sign for lesser amount but was compensated with Made In Fulani Furà dè Nunù.

Did you notice that this smart guy is carrying his luggage by himself? In fact, Wike should activate his buy out clause to N400million.

He wasn't the one carrying the luggage. He flew in a private jet sha... Hmmmmm old police wey nor fit comot eye for bribe.

Op just dey misyarn anyhow.
So okorocha will steal chairs with an unescorted pick up. The police in imo go come arrest okorocha driver... make una dey sufri lie na. Why always pdp. Na so wike shout say Ameachi steal spoon. FAYOSE say fayemi tif bedsheets and now ihedioha dey say okorocha tif event centre chair. Make una dey sufri lie na...
