Politics / Re: Ambode: Jide Sanwo-olu Is A Criminal And Mentally Unstable To Govern Lagos by overboard(m): 5:31pm On Sep 30, 2018
While not holding brief for either Jagaban camp or Ambo on this as they are all deceptive mofo's, it's too personal an attack in my opinion. Ambo should know better and could have employed more diplomatic means to discredit BOS & crew.

Sanwo-Olu has not uttered a word in maligning Ambo - at least, not in public - and our darling governor should extend that same courtesy. This slander campaign, if it need be deployed at all for lack of better or more convincing 'tools' and evidence, would have played out better using back channels while smiling to the camera. Ambo is a learner and has just exposed himself further.

We realize that he may eventually loose out but as everyone is saying, "don't do down without a fight", even more importantly as he supposedly has federal might backing him thus guaranteeing some relevance (a la Fashola) post-defeat if that's the case, he should have displayed a more strategic plan to ruffling the Bourdillon god's feathers...

Tinubu is what he is today because he played the game fearlessly and somewhat, intelligently. Saraki seems to be playing from his book, or did a couple of times before now but time will tell if he is a good student who goes to research more after having soaked in all possible.

Can one play politics morally? I really want to know.

I hate to be a troll but em, Baba's music has been less than satisfactory to me... maybe 'cause I'm involuntarily comparing it to his parents, the Jazz 38 icons, perhaps.

Education / Re: The Use Of "An" Before H Sounding Words, Is It Correct? by overboard(m): 4:10pm On Jul 27, 2018
encryptjay:
If the sound that succeeds it, is consonant, use 'a' but if it's a vowel sound, use 'an'.
In simpler words, if 'h' is silent during pronunciation, use 'an' for example
An honour
An heir
An hour
For non-silent 'h', use 'a'.
A horse
A herd
A hospital.

It's an honour to meet with you.
This is a hospital

I think I've heard, "an husband" before. grin

Its an honour to quote you!

You guys need to clarify & sort this issue out. I came here to note the face of the supposed scammer... if he can prove what he states here, the accuser will have to absolve him of all blame & apologize. I the same vein, if the accuser can make a solid case, the accused will have to, well, abscond or payback, whichever he deems OK.

Education / Re: Top Grammatical Errors You Make Without Knowing by overboard(m): 11:02am On Jun 20, 2018
SamySamy123:
 1.  At and About

Note that the sentence, "I shall expect you at about five o'clock" is wrong. It should rather be "I shall expect you about five o'clock". 

Reason: 
"At" applies a definite time, and "about" applies to an approximate time. So, using at about is juxtaposition of two unlikes, and should be avoided. You can only say: "I shall expect you at or about five o'clock".

 2. Try And

Many a time, people use "try and" when they actually mean "try to". Logically, if you "try and do something", you  have to first of all try,  which is to make a general attempt, and finding out how do. After trying and finding how to do, you then do it. Thus, there are two actions involve, to try and to do.

On the other hand, "try to" implies the single combination of trying and doing. So, learn not to confuse the two today. 

 3.  All Right

Note that, while already, almost, almighty and altogether, are right, it is wrong to say "alright". However, there is no reason for this. But if you want your grammar to be absolutely correct, you must use "all right".


 4. Misuse of That

It is quite pathetic that most people use the word "That" as an emphatic adverb.

Examples:

"I had no idea the house was that small"

"If the weather is that bad, you had better stay at home"

This use of "That" is wrong and should be avoided. The correct forms of the above sentences are:

"I had no idea that the house was as small as that".

"If the weather is as bad as that, you had better stay at home".


 5.  Ought To

Note that the construction " He ought to, didn't he?" is very wrong. Its correct form is "He ought to, oughtn't he?".

I know this sound absurd. But no doubt, it is the correct form. 

 6. Parallel With

It should be noted that two lines can not be "parallel to". They can only be "parallel with" each other. So, don't say parallel to from today hence forth.


 7.  Averse To

Sometimes, people say they are "averse to". Meaning that they dislike. However, this is very wrong. You cannot be averse to anything, because the suffix "to" signify approach, when the opposite is intended. 

The correct form of "being averse to something" is "being averse from".

 8. Moot Point

Note that the word "moot" does not mean the same as "mute". While the word mute simply mean silence, moot is an Anglo-Saxon town assembly, or court of justice which was a moot or mote, while the meaning place was the moot hall. 

9. USE TO

When people make sentences like "He used to live in Lagos" meaning he formerly lived in Lagos, it is quite understood and correct.

But where they say this negatively or in past tense, they make mistakes. Examples:

"He didn't use to live in Lagos".

"Did he use to live in Lagos?".


The correct forms of the above are:

"He use not to live in Lagos".

"Used he to live in Lagos".


Reason: 
"Used to" is a peculiar idiom itself, and there is no point making its variation even more peculiar.

 10. Xmas

The only reason why the word "Xmas" can be tolerated is because, "X" was a Greek word for Jesus Christ. Writers who intentionally use "Xmas" having be said to be merely lazy. The most formal form is "Christmas"
