bet doesn't need any addition in forming a sentence.

How about this?

horlahwaley:
It is the betted for me.

delzbaba:
You betted 10k ? Guy look for your english teacher and give him a knock for me.

AsomArchitectNG:
Don't give me migraine

Betted is the past participle of bet. It is a valid word and its usage in the op is correct so
I wonder why you guys are getting your panties in a bunch over that.

I’ve been meaning to ask you what is the meaning of “MISHIGAS”.

Mrluv:
I really appreciate bro. I can bet with my life in any shrine that he is the one that stole the phone. the only problem here is i dont have any evident. there are two phone one redmi9s and redmi9 and one complete charger and cable inside my bag. when i wanted to use the phone i could not find the redmi9s and cable only the redmi9 and the complete charger that i can see inside bag. i confront him he said i could not accuse him of stealing the phone since i do not see it in his hand

Like I said earlier, this is a tricky one and the suspect being your brother makes it the more complicated.

If I’m to be in your shoes, I’d forego the said phone for the sake of posterity. I’d use this experience to implement security measures that will ensure that such incident doesn’t happen again.

Mrluv:
the suspect is my elder brother he was staying with us before not anymore and his house is not far from our house and he know everyone movement what he normally do is that he would go our mother shop and take the key to our house without anyone knowledge. I kept the phone and some other thing inside my bag he has been taking thing inside the bag that it would be later found in his house.I dont have his pic but I can lead then to his door step

This is a tricky one as you don’t have hard evidence.

Gamble this, look for some friendly police officers and tell them exactly what you wrote above. They will need to pick up your brother and tell him that a stolen phone was tracked to him, threaten him with jail and see if he will confess. It’s a gamble but may be worth it. Please be clear with the officers that you don’t want your brother tortured, I can’t emphasize on that enough.

Good luck.

Yes. I will free some space.
But if i want to install iOS update now, and I make 4.12gb free storage, after the installation will it consume/finish the 4.12gb? or some space will be available ?

Consider leaving a space of at least 6gb to avoid your iPhone running out of storage during update which may end up bricking your phone. Low storage normally isn’t healthy for your device.

Alaigbopress:
Everything doesn't end in Hospital
I have seen several people who have related issue, they were never treated in a hospital but through a traditional way. What you don't know is your Elder brother.

All health related issues are better treated at the hospital. That Nigeria has one of the lowest life expectancy is connected to the fact that our people, mostly because of ignorance and poverty, had rather patronize faith healers or engage in self medications instead of going to the hospital.

I’ve had the misfortune of having a relative suffer from mental illness and it was only treated at the psychiatric hospital and he’s doing much much better today. At a point this relative got violent and started destroying things. This relative called his own family members witches and wizards and was violent towards them, even to his wife. This was the same way I was trying to convince his brothers to take him to the hospital but they refused until one day, he stripped his clothes and was walking on the street destroying cars.

Please I’m not here to argue with you, I’m writing from the place of love and experience. Take your brother to a psychiatric hospital now, the earlier he’s taken there, the more his chance of recovery.

Alaigbopress:
When someone starts wearing same cloth, carrying knife inside his bag threatening to stab anybody that comes across him, when someone wakes up in the middle of the night and start shouting or walking over 1 km shouting that a king has some to reign then what do You call such thing. Is he abnormal or normal. In your case how do you intend to solve such problem.

Your brother is obviously suffering from untreated mental health issues. Could be schizophrenia, I suggest you people take him to a good psychiatric hospital for diagnosis and treatment before it is too late. Be wise.

Favour315:

Ambassadors:
Hmm that was how we went for program for fruit of the womb in that church they said my wife should go and stay in one hotel and I should stay in another place. After two days I had to reason well and carry my wife back home lol..

And I guess the hotel belongs to his church.

If you don’t mind me asking, have you found a solution to the problem that took you there?

[s]You think so??…. Bro, the world is about energy and fields…if you are in tune with metaphysics, you will know that attracting negative energy to yourself is counterproductive…When David De gea, Man Utd goalie open mouth as a white man say, he think say Man Utd is cursed, you thought he was just blabbing right?

Zuckerberg understand the power of the subconscious…reason he is hell bent on metaverse technology….Abeg no quote me if you no understand wetin I type[/s]

Oga face front and stop parroting unsubstantiated claims to justify your hate for LFC.

Upon all the hate the suffering Nigerians are having for the political class, why are they still alive and well? Na all this kind belief without evidence dey make pastors dey use una cash out steady.

Your pastors guilt trips or uses hell/poverty as a scare tactics to make you come to church not because he wants you to make heaven, but rather to fleece you of your hard earned money, time and talents.

93.884% of your religious leaders know that heaven and hell is but a reward system devised to control and govern the society. Be wise.

manitoba:
Yes, I have all the evidence because he duped me. And a very arrogant scammer

Narrate what happened if you don’t mind.

superCleanworks:
i wan apply oh. if offshore can pay large money then the basic salary for a sophisticated underwater (atlantic ocean) factory manager for a company responsible for ALL THE BEAUTY PRODUCTS IN THE WORLD (market dey move) should be like 30 million naira a month. it should be up to 120 million per month after you add up all the allowances and training DTA

To think a large group of people still believe this type of hocus is mind boggling.

superCleanworks:
The have factories underwater?
Abeg how much do they pay their factory manager per year?

You wan apply?

These ones still think this is the 80’s and early 90’s and not 2022. Thank god for the democratization of information.

Giant777:
Yes of course

Apart from your subjective personal experience, do you have empirical evidence that such entities exist?

Giant777:
Do you mean in their existence?

Apparently.

Giant777:

Good one.
Do you still believe in succubus and incubus?

Awkabigboy:
my wife feels its awkward for me to greet her firsr early in the morning as per igbo culture . In igbo culture an elder shouldn't first greet a minor but i was raised to say good morning first when I'm the first person to talk to anyone in the morning be it a minor or not

You are married to a minor?

opera1:
Chelsea 0-3 Liverpool

Amen!

Great100000:
Chelsea 0

vs

Liverpool 3

You are spot on!

AuthenticKing:
Well, this is quite true and it's one of the parts of religion I don't like, teaching people how to suppress/repress their human instincts so they won't go to hell or be punished by God or that they should repress these parts of them because it's what the 'devil' is using to stop them from fulfilling destiny, of which suppressing these instincts is quite impossible.
I'm only proposing this idea because I'm tryna see things the way it is and try to project a better way of doing it. Nigerians are superstitious by nature, that is why we embraced religion with all our heart and soul, so if we succeed in eradicating religion, will reason and science appeal to the average Nigerian with their inherent nature to believe in superstition? Bringing us back to my former question, what better alternative could be used to guide our behavior?


There are freethinking Christians (and maybe Muslims). Martin Luther King is a great example, A Christian who didn't fully accept the Christian belief of we having a better life only in heaven, he believed in we having a better world first (before we can think of a heaven) and this is what drove him to fight for the freedom of the blacks. There were so many things he did that will be abhorred by a normal fundamentalist Christian of his time.
As I proposed, if we could make Nigerians see an intellectual side to Christianity and Islam (since it's practically impossible to eradicate the religion from here), things might just get a little better. Not everyone will be willing to come to terms with the reality of our nature and existence, we could try to do that through what we already believe in. Hope you get my point?

Good point as always.

The thing is superstitious belief isn’t endemic to Nigeria as the Chinese, Indians and Vietnamese are VERY superstitious too. That said, the case of Nigerian is that the elites are quite wicked and evil. I tell you. If they don’t enjoy how the country is they would’ve proposed a different way of doing things. Other developing countries like China are jettisoning many of their superstitious beliefs because they’ve found a better way of doing things. Superstition thrives on ignorance, poverty, insecurity, uncertainties etc.

Believe me, Nigerians will easily give up religion in the face of widespread economic prosperity. Many rich Nigerians are only going to church and mosque to put up an appearance as they are closet atheists, agnostics, freethinkers and humanists.

What I’m proposing is for Nigerians to take back the leadership of their country from this current band of bandits wrecking the country, formulate and enforce good laws that will govern the people. The worst of these bandits I mentioned earlier are Nigerian religious leaders. If there is hell, the hottest part will be reserved for them.

AuthenticKing:
I agree with you that human excesses can easily be curtailed by the rule of law and it's enforcement but even in those sane countries, people still commit some hidden crimes against each other that are not been made in the open. In the rule of law, there are some 'bad' acts done by humans that ain't considered crimes but these acts are still not right, religion has this ability to connect with it's followers emotionally and can be able to act as a kind of inner compass to direct them on good things to be done and bad things to be avoided, with or without the rule of law.

Besides, Nigeria has a very long way to go in becoming a sane society, a very long way. I feel the best and easiest way to start achieving sanity or development is to kind of revolutionize religion, to upgrade people's understanding of our major religions (Christianity and Islam), to see Jesus and Mohammed not as saviours but great teachers to be respected and learned from, etc. I think this is a point for another day. These religions are here to stay, I don't think the Op is completely correct about Christianity going away from Nigeria.

I wish to also add that these religions also help to give people a life of meaning, one of the reasons people hold unto it like it's their life.

You are proposing an ideal region which we can both agree is almost impossible factoring in the human propensity for greed, envy, covetousness, anger etc. Even in Christianity, we have cases of pastors sleeping with members’ spouses and daughters, members swindling each other, pastors tricking members out of their hard earned money and other vices/crimes.

Yes, religion tend to give some people moral compass and meaning to life; but I think those are the people who find it difficult coming into terms with the reality and nature of our existence. Religion may not be inherently bad but it is a very potent tool of great evil in the hands of bad leaders.

Buliwyf:
Thanks jare. I won't reply him again.

Good call.

I guess one of the reasons most religions make its adherents believe ridiculous stories like a talking snake and donkey, dividing the Red Sea etc is so that they’d swallow other subsequent bullshits they are fed with without question. If someone can believe that some dude died, woke up days later and flew to space without a shred of hard evidence save for the unsubstantiated claims of his/her holy book, then believing that a boy converted his whole village without an iota of evidence should be a walk in the park don’t you think?
