And we are I the best position to advise you right?
Bringing your private problems to social network makes you a real man.
You are going crazy and you still had the patience and time to type?
Yours friends are so dumb that if you confide in them, none will be able to advise you?
My brother move on.

89 is the last man standing

Remimadrid:
No 1 is the last person standing, why? he killed 2 and pass the sword to 3, 3 kill 4 and so on. Then it comes back to the beginning and 1 kills 3, till he is the last person standing

No way, its not as easy as u think.
1 kills 2 gives the sword to 3 to kill 4 3 after killing 4 gives d sword to 5 and so on.
After the first circle is completed, 1 kills 3 gives the sword to 5 to kill 7 and gives the sword to 9

Four policemen attached to Ijebu-Ode Area Command in Ogun state has been sacked by the Inspector-General of Police Ibrahim Idris.

The officers were sacked because they extorted N50,000 from a man they arrested on a trumped-up charge.

The affected policemen are: Mufutau Olaosun, Adebayo Temitope, Bakare Taiwo and Adesoye Ayokunlehin.

“The four men on June 7, without any grounds, arrested a man who was just leaving a bank and took him to the Igbeba station, where they labelled him a ‘Yahoo boy’ and made him to frog jump and write a self-incriminating statement, that he was an internet fraudster", a statement from the police said.

“After the maltreatment, they released the man and also impounded the N50,000 he had gone to collect on behalf of his boss, saying it was payment for his bail.

“The man lodged a complaint with the police public complaints rapid response unit.

“The police authorities found the complaint genuine and were mortified that policemen could take money for bail, despite the #BailisFree campaign by the police themselves.

How can one contact the police public complain rapid squad?

Recently i have been under lots of pressure from friends and family asking me to try and get a visa to leave the country, but i have declined

i understand that things are not well organised in this country but travelling out to me is like putting yourself in an uncertain situation , you don't even know what to expect when you get there

The most annoying for me is the fear of being denied a visa again after trying some years back

I will prefer to rather put my money into a small business here in Nigeria no matter how small and try to grow from there

At least i know some people that have travelled out of the country for years and when ever they come back home they still cant afford a house of their own, they stay with relatives that has never even been to Ghana before

What is your opinion on these nairalanders

No, its not. When you have the right opportunity and resources to do what you know best and gives you joy, you will make it bigger here than someone who has traveled out

I know that this can't happen in Nigeria

I pray oo.

SingleDad:
She got married 2014 to her supposed beloved husband, but recently she has being all over my life.


She has always being my friend, and we once had friendly intimacy most times. But when she got married, I had to distance myself from her. Recently, she has being calling, and trying to fix a get together meeting between us.

The disturbance was so much, I had to create out sometime to see her. She told me that , her husband couldn't function properly and they have done various medical evaluations, and realized that she could not produce babies, because her husband had a medical problem.


I gave her my humble advice, and told her to hope on God for the right time.

Okay!. So she told me that, we should resume our friendly intimacy, just the way it use to be back in the days!. She said, deep inside her, she couldn't seek for a better person, if not me....


I rebuked the ideology instantly, but she kept on persisting that I should please consider her lonely request. She really needs to feel like a woman!


Good people, what should i do? . She is married, and i don't wish to have anything to do with her. But her constant plea is getting me provoked.


What are your suggestions?

Except you are under 18, you do not have to bring this to social media, no matter the disturbance from her.

You have owned the farm since the mid 80s and you send your Fulani brothers to the South to destroy our own farms, posterity will judge you people.

He is not a fulani man.

The leader representing Akoko-edo local government area at the lower chamber of the National Assembly bought WAEC past questions for students in the local government. What kind of shabby representation is this? This is his second tenure running and nothing to show as constituency project.

he is a clown. I am beginning to hate his antics

YES YES YES YES

I can't believe a professor is saying this. history can be twisted, and records may be altered too but experience gives you a first hand knowledge.
Experience still remains the best teacher.

2019 will be interesting...but only as interesting as getting a formidable opposition.

2015 was about a better government or a better Nigeria rather it was all about Jonathan and the North.
2019 is going to be the North vs the North.

As you have no doubt observed from responses to your article, most Nigerians are unteachable

you nailed it.

I still want to make bold claims to the correctness of my argument here by further saying that STANDING ON EXISTING PROTOCOLS or ALL PROTOCOLS DULY OBSERVED is colloquial.
It is being used by many doesn't make it correct.
Summarily, it is syntactically correct and semantically wrong.
when a critical semantical analysis is done on this phrase, you will understand better.

[quote author=menxer post=55182110]Come on! That phrase ("all protocols observed" or "standing on existing protocols" ) is used mainly by subsequent speakers at a function when the first speaker must have acknowledged the presence of all dignitaries.

Besides that it's not a practice in UK or USA does not make it wrong.

Are we not free to decide how we greet ourselves?


[/quote
We as non native speakers, lack linguistic competence. If how you greet we greet ourselves in another man's language is not acceptable by such a man, then we shouldn't do it.
many Africans speak pidgin English, does that make pidgin English acceptable or correct?

Shelloween:
Just because we speak it in Africa and the rest of the world doesn't, doesn't mean it's wrong. The most important thing is understanding. If the whites had coined this, it would've been genius, we Africans never appreciate our unique minds.

You may be free to use it in the listed African countries where it as become a norm, but avoid using it outside these countries because it is not universally accepted.
It is just one of our performative errors as non-native speakers of the language.

Niyeal:
What if stand on an existing protocol?

you can not stand on existing protocols as none was probably in existence.
below are some definitions of the term"PROTOCOL", none of them defines it as the dignitaries in an event.
1. the official procedure or system of rules
governing affairs of state or diplomatic
occasions.
2. the original draft of a diplomatic document,
especially of the terms of a treaty agreed to
in conference and signed by the parties.
3. a formal or official record of scientific
experimental observations.
4. a set of rules governing the exchange or
transmission of data between devices.

I would like to know the meaning, the origin and
how the following phrase should be used:
: : 'all protocols observed'
: That's interesting. Having always lived in the UK,
it was utterly unfamiliar to me, and I had to Google
to find examples of its use. Judging by the
contexts I found it in (Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa,
Uganda) it appears to be an African way of starting
a formal speech. Now, traditionally the correct
protocol for starting a formal speech is by
addressing everyone in your audience in order of
precedence, e.g. "Your Excellency, Minister, My
Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen". In these and other
African countries it is apparently now customary to
start instead with: "Ladies and Gentlemen, all
protocols observed". Thus the phrase means
something like: "You know who you all are, just
take it as read that I have listed you as corrrect
protocol dictates, OK?"
: Presumably the phrase originated as a way of
avoiding listing your hearers in order of
precedence - either because you don't know
everyone there, or don't know the correct order, or
because there is some dispute over who has
precedence and you don't want to commit
yourself.
: In any country where it is now accepted as the
correct way of starting a speech, it should be used
to start a speech. But not anywhere else!


In addition, 'Protocols' are a system of 'rules', customs and
observances which can govern any sort of activity,
so if 'all protocols are observed' it means the
speaker or writer is claiming that the relevant
niceties have been followed.
1. It is clearly a lie.
In essence you have NOT observed all protocols.
It is just a claim that the necessarily rules of
decorum have been observed but we all know
protocol was overlooked altogether. Consider this,
if you had been asked to pass a vote of thanks,
would you thank one or two people and then
state “All thanks given?”
2. There are other ways to observe protocol
without having to mention each and every
dignitary present.
One way is clustering: You can use a general
phrase to address all that fall within a certain
category – honourable delegates, distinguished
ladies and gentlemen, your excellencies, my
Lords etc. That way due diligence is paid.
3. It is a home-grown expression, unrecognised
by the rest of the world.
Other than Kenyans, Nigerians, Ugandans and
some South Africans who have become
accustomed to hearing this, the expression
remains totally alien to the rest of the world. Your
audience will be at a loss as to what you mean;
and as to why you have opted for that ‘short-
cut.’
4. It is not necessary to use that expression
when protocol has indeed been observed.
At times the speaker does indeed take his or her
time to mention the dignitaries in the audience in
order of precedence but spoils it by concluding
the list with “all protocols observed.” If protocol
has indeed been observed then that will be
apparent to the audience and therefore redundant
to include that out-of-place phrase.
