Oh Lord!!!! what is so wrong with Nigerians on this forum and the word "dictatorship". and why do u folks always think democracy is the way forward? the

white man that gave the world democracy know that system of government is just a way to colonized the rest of the world, its corrupt, illegal and bankrupt

Check out this scenario : the world today is occupied with people of many different races, black, white, indian, chinese etc, in the same breath these people

have different religions, cultures and values,  what is wrong with these people having a system of government that suits them best, be it democracy,

communist , dictatorship or whatever system of government thats out there,  in the world today we have seen countries like cuba, china and most western

countries and seen the style of government that works for them, why is it that its the so-called democratic countries that invade and terrorize other countries

of is it fair to say democracy and terrorism goes hand in hand? Since 1960, nigeria have been a democratic state we have had countless leaders and what do

we have to show for it, nothing apart from corruption, embezzlement, mismanagement and mass killings , even the USA cant boast of the luxury and freedom

the libyans have . Hate Gadaffi because you have been brainwashed but surely not because he has been a leader for 42 years


You may have been brainwashed by the mainstream media but one thing but many do not realize that G[b]addafi was planning to introduce the gold dinar, a

single African currency that would serve as an alternative to the U.S. dollar and allow African nations to share the wealth. It is surely no coincidence that Iraq’s

prior leader, Saddam Hussein, was trying to do the same thing just prior to U.S. invasion for all of those “weapons of mass destruction.” Simply put, if oil-rich

nations begin trading in something other than dollars it will significantly reduce demand for dollars and threaten the dollar’s role as world reserve currency. Many

experts belief this would lead to the quick death of the fiat greenback, which is now backed by nothing but faith in a government that is running an annual

budget deficit of over $1.5 TRILLION.[/b]

Hey Professor,

Chrisland no be cheap school like that ooooo. lol

Trying to rile the yeye boi up  

This guy is from a very rich background. His dad is a retired UN employee (well, call him a friend of politicians).

He was living in a million naira per month flat in London. The boy attended a private secondary school that charges about 8 million naira a year. This is much higher than what those nairalanders who lay claims to wealthy background (call it kue kue millions) like Sefago could ever afford (not with his yeye Eti Osa private school).

Sarah Palin and "refudiate"

[quote[b]]Refudiate: An understandable mistake?[/b]
Refute, repudiate, refuse? They can be confusing!

When Sarah Palin keyed the word “refudiate” into some Twitter messages in 2010, it became an instant sensation, especially among her critics, who mocked the former governor for her use of a word that does not exist. But Palin was by no means the first person to say or write this apparent blend of refute and repudiate, two words that, blended or not, are known to be occasionally confused. Along with refuse, these comprise a set of words that not only share similar sounds, but also share a subtle overlap in meaning:

When you prove a statement of fact to be false, you have refuted it (they tried to refute Einstein’s theory). But if you refute an allegation, this means you deny that the allegation is truthful, you reject its validity—which is the same as saying you repudiate the allegation (the claims that human rights had been violated were refuted; who will repudiate these accusations?). In another sort of rejection, if you repudiate a policy, practice, or philosophy, you are rejecting, renouncing, or disowning it (we have always repudiated communism); you might even say you refuse to be associated with it.

Of the three words, refuse is the least likely to be confused, as it is most commonly used to indicate that one is not willing to do something, or not willing to allow something (I refuse to eat another meal here; he’s been refused admission to two universities)—uses for which refute and repudiate would not likely be considered. But when refuse indicates yet another sort of rejection (she refused his amorous advances), the overlap is worth noting.[quote][/quote]http://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2010/11/refudiate-an-understandable-mistake/

The Nollywood post.

However, the underlying principle is the same – before a word goes in, we have to have evidence of its usage. For the OED, this will be independent published examples over a period of 10 years. For current English dictionaries (like the one on this site), the time period may be less stringent, but the need for independent examples is just the same.

^^This is the reason why I prefer words in OED and paperback.


ODO? Hmm
