bizz: guess I am not supposed to have a friend?.... ...oooooooooo maybe I should have asked her to be my gf before get it

No wahala. Didn't say you shouldn't . Just thinking out loud. You are an adult.

I don't claim to be a professor of english language but i have noticed the misuse of these two words by most Nigerians.

Been is the past participle form
of the verb to be. It is used with
the auxiliary verbs has, have,
and had to form perfect tenses:
How long has it been since you
were in Paris?
He had been writing that novel
for thirty years when he died.
How long have you been living
here?
Being is the present participle
form of the verb to be. It is
used with the auxiliaries is, are,
was, and were to form
continuous tenses:
Mary is being difficult.
The letter is being written.
It is used as a verbal, a word
that partakes of both verb and
noun:
Being polite is more productive
than being rude.
The word being can also be used
a noun meaning “creature.”


But i see many Nigerians using and mixing up these words. Examples i have seen on here:Have you being checking the
site? The Entrant Status
Check, where you saw your
1st notification letter.


If you have other confusing words . Please do post here so we could learn.

Phema: Oh, I thought Ify said she will send his account details to anyone interested in helping out.

I hope and pray they re-open the portal, but what happens if it isn't re-opened after we have give made the contributions? Just being practical here.

staying positive here. But if they don't which i believe won't happen. There's always a way. I just have an inkling they would open it before next week. Guy, keep checking the portal daily. Hand fit scratch the it guy make he release the payment link by mistake. I have been taught that miracles do happen and i do believe one would happen here.

So much for taking care and being romantic to her.. Catching the fancy of another on the sidelines i guess. ...

Don't mind me...am just being "tpia ish."

mechummy: I did exactly what you said it didn't workStill the same thing

what was the message displayed? press f8 and choose repair my computer.

geeez: Last year a 10MW power plant was built for €12m (N2.6bn) in a country that had the technical and material requirements - Germany

http://cleantechnica.com/2012/06/14/watch-the-construction-of-a-10-mw-solar-power-plant-in-germany/

This is a 10.34MW plant for N3.2bn in a developing country

Inflation Rate in Nigeria between last year and this year stood at 8.7%

So tell me what makes the Power Plant overpriced?

Everything makes it overpriced.

you forgot to tell us clean energy was used.

Do you know its much more expensive building solar power plants than the normal Gas fueled power plant built by Eko and Oando?

It's a good idea but don't go comparing the amount for a Natural gas power plant and a Sower powered plant which needs zero input.

Have you factored in running cost for buying Natural Gas in the next ten years?

ifyalways: Sounds serious and bad for the OP.
So he still risks an extra year if this portal is not re-opened? Gosh.


May God intervene oh.

A big amen to that....But there are always way.

I believe a miracle would happen.


He might even lose studentship if he doesn't pay. That's how cruel some Nigerian rules can be.

mechummy: My system has refused to finish booting;( The last time I used it was yesterday evening around 7pm the battery was low so I hibernated to save what I was doing.

Then around 12am I put it on to continue what I was doing, it came on but it's been showing me 'windows 7 ultimate' till now fa


Pls any help....Thanks in anticipation

Restart the system and hold the f8 key.


Select safe mode.

If it loads into safe mode. Just restart the system. If it does not work. Come back and explain.

bellong: You can help me do that... I tried hard to add it but didn't want to turn it to Greek...

Nah...Not me. You know am not versed in that area.


Am pseudo-igbo...Wasn't proud enough to learn my local language. LOl

However...a quick search on the net

Shows it is "ibola chi"

ifyalways: @Bellong,how far now? Please,were you able to get the PA to the school's VC? Can you get the OP's details via PM and have the PA confirm if he's actually a student ,if he's owing and how much?

I will see the OP soon and also see his student identity card but id card can be "printed/laminated" just by anyone so your own confirmation is the "surest" .

no need for such wahala. Just ask him to send you his portal details. I.e the login details..all those information would be there. His level, amount owing. Studentship status and anything you might need.

bellong: E kaaro ooo gbogbo ile..... Ina kwana...... Good morning

what about we Igbo folks?

Harpesin: 16th of October.....

wow..we are taking over. lol. 4th person on this thread. Welcome bro. Happy birthday in advance.

Saw this quote

I remember the late Gaddafi crying out loud that some of the so called rebels struggling to oust him were Al Qaida affiliates. Nobody took heed and this was taken as last kicks of a dying horse. If they were Al Qaida then somebody was arming them provided Gaddafi was smoked out. Talk of the end justifying the means. The same groups are now back to haunt the victor. If the overall goal was to remove the 'dictator', where is that democracy now? If the overall goal was to attain peace in the region, what version of it are we witnessing in Libya? If brutality was the problem under Gaddafi, was the Prime Minister ushered away using guitars? Are we able to face the militia now and tell them they are doing wrong when we celebrated their mayhem during the rebellion? Surprisingly these are not lessons; we are arming some hotheads in Syria in the name of protection against Assad.

Very apt. See why America has no right interfering in local politics or a country. You provide arms to people

Joecares: My o.s now displaay that my windows software iz not genue.pls people wat can I do before it gets worst?

Get activated buy a genuine windows 7 or 8 key.

Rhemmymatician: All4naija Still not bringing up the safe mode screen I swear I've done it exactly as you said

Just saw the image.

Ok ...Was it pre installed with windows 7?

Rhemmymatician: I bought my Dell n5050 inspiron, around 2 months ago. Yestersay I used it to charge my phone till it hibernated itself. After I charged it and on the laptop it is saying 'WINDOWS FAILED TO START. A RECENT HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE CHANGE MIGHT BE THE CAUSE. TO FIX THE PROBLEM:
1. INSERT WINDOWS INSTALLATION CD (WHICH I DON'T HAVE) and RESTART YOUR COMPUTER."


PLEASE HELP ME

why didn't you text me about this. Restart the system and press f8.. Select safe mode. If it loads in safe mode, restart the system and continue your normal work . You removing the cable without properly removing it is the cause. The system memory has lodged the address of the device into memory and its trying to reference it. Its like searching for an already removed knowledge. Sorry about it bro.

funkybaby: Oh ok. I get your point.

You are right. Especial glo. Always signing up brand ambassadors.

I'm yet to see them conduct any yearly graduate recruitment scheme for fresh graduates. However, they dole out money to footballers and actors every month.

Yeah...

The so called seventy million they give out to individual artiste if true. Would pay the school fees of 700 students each paying over a 100k. Look at what impact that would have had. But i don't blame them. Each coy has its own policies.

funkybaby: Erm.... I won't be quick to blame the government on this one.

The OP's case is different. He brought this on himself. You fail your final exams =an extra year.

I'm willing to help because I know people that had an extra year at uni, some two sef that are successful and wealthy today.

So it will be sad if you are unable to finish school because of this small "set back".

I am not blaming the government and am not even looking at things from his own perspective.

Am just looking at the general view of the Nigerian educational sector. Everyday fees are been increased without the commensurate increase in the pay or some sort alleviation for a greater number of the middle class who struggle to send their wards to school.

Shouldn't there be incentives like scholarships and stuff to encourage the indigent but intelligent ones...What about student soft loans(like them paying half when they graduate or spread it over five years) I guess that's a discussion for another day.

Good job to all those willing to help.

Seriously ...I just hope we do something about the educational sector in this country.

No one seems to care . There are lots of people who can't afford to pay their fees and you see them falling for different things in order to raise such sums of money.

What happened to scholarships and student loans?

Most coys(e.g. Glo esp.) are busy paying wizkid et al millions for shows and endorsements . but question is what about our students?

We all can't thrive on entertainment alone. There are people who need genuine help.

bukatyne: Where ever did you get that?

How will you knowing my age affect moi considering this is online?

For what it's worth, my BOD is even on my profile. I actually thought that was where you got it from

I never did check ..

Just a guess. Good with it sometimes.

Try it out. Pretend you a guy and ask ten different ladies their age. At least 8 will decline telling you.

I don't know their reasons for that.(me too dey always wonder what it changes)

sholay2011: I wonder why.

I guess they still want to maintain that sweet sixteen posture even when they are 50...

Can you see how the image was superimposed on the background?


Fake.!!!

bukatyne: Lol! @ bolded

Learning to keep a secret.

Learnt most ladies don't want people to have an idea of their ages.
