Merry Christmas to you ahnie. I hope you had a blast. The joy of the season will forever be with you and yours.

Nothing much. I started doing the meals since 24th. I woke up early on 25th to do more cooking. We didn't eat before going to church. The sermon took longer than anticipated and we still waited for choir rehearsals after the service. By the time we were done, we were all hungry. We rushed home to devour the delicacies. Watched TV, danced and received guests. It was a bit of a challenge having to return many calls and messages.
Still chilling and enjoying the holidays at home. I've not left the TV since morning. Hubby cooked today so.... I need all the rest before January comes and the hustling and bustling will start all over.

Happy Holidays!

Those who politicized End Sars

will lead the campaign to End police one day


it's Karma... no one can escape it..

this case is trending probably because the victim is a lawyer... believe me two weeks ago in that same Ajah axis, a police man shot a Keke driver dead, and nothing happened..

Police men kill more Nigerians than armed robbers do... ( I'm not talking herdsmen or southern Kaduna ish... most places in Nigeria are at war without knowing)..

I agree with you, we are at war with so many evils and the battle is rife, raging, violent and traumatizing. And we seem to be losing the battle. It's tiring, I'm tired and in despair. This is one death too many. See how they turned a supposedly happy home into mourning. I have wept for that family this morning. I read she was TTC, and they took her when God finally did it. That broke me, I know what it is to be expectant in God's waiting room. May God comfort the family. It's really disheartening.

Climate change
Nigeria is also getting hotter

My part of Lagos was 21 degree C early yesterday morning and hazy too. Right now, it has shot up to 32.

Placeofallure, where do you base pls
Are you available?

Available ke? Is that what I asked you? I'm far from available. I'll never be available for that kinda thing.

EMMARNUEL:
I used that because that is what we call older women that love young guys.

Well Sugar Mummy as a word sends the impression that she'll be responsible for your upkeep. Is that what you are looking for?

Goodmarlian:
This is the reason i feel like slapping any guy that worship women,if you are a guy reading this post i guess you or a male friend or family you know have spend over 3 years without a girlfriend yet they are happy and comfortable with it,but have you ever seen a woman that can stay 6 months without a boyfriend?

If you are steady on whatsapp you wiill notice that 80% of their posts are about relationships,love and who will give them money,it is a fact that most women cannot do without men in their lives they will always feel like something is wrong with them if they stay up to 6 months without a man.
They need you more than you need them wake up!

Collect your money!

shortgun:
If you are truly not the one, then advise your friend to hold on to that girl.
Some girls will have sense in their young age while others will be senseless all their lives like most feminists

The same advice my hubby's friends gave him when we were still dating. According to him, they said I was too mature for my age and he shouldn't let me go despite the very significant age difference between us and the fact that he had two other gfs before me who were much older than me.

Truly, It's not by age, it's by maturity. OP should tell his friend to grow up and get serious if he's really interested in the lady.

I swear bro!
Just 1 day of chat that I forced myself to she’s already billing me not that I’m toasting her sef o

Where do you meet these kinds of people? Maybe you are of questionable character too. Ah Ah! How can somebody be this shameless? It's girls like this they contract to sleep with dogs. In real life, I don't know anyone close to me who is this classless. Work, they will not work! Ordinary make up and gele that I did to church yesterday was 8k. I was one of her earliest customers. Imagine how many more customers she'll have for the day. Lazy girls be letting chewing gum boys form Macho! Very irritating!

I don't really remember monikers, so you'll forgive me if I don't get yours correctly.
I'm a lover of expository threads. I am grateful to Naptu and Explorer for taking us to places we've never been to. There are a couple other people that I can't remember. I recall the thread about Mandela's family home. I love it and more recently the thread about the origin of Yoruba names.

I am grateful to pocohantas. I admire her position on many subject matters.

Glory homemaker and ahnie, thank you for sharing your culinary skills with us.

The trolls, many of them are here that taunt people for no cause, repent it's a new year soon.

Seun Osewa, Merry Christmas!

MissLAP:
I'm here to talk about the 40 persons killed by Fulani herdsmen

This is so, so, so pathetic. The government couldn't protect them. Nigeria failed them. It's a sad thing that some people have positioned themselves as lords over others and the suppressed are totally helpless.

What kind of poor journalism is this? If your English is bad, you have no business being in the media.

The heading of this thread should be: Tinubu FELICITATES not FACILITATES...

Mods or whatever they call themselves should adjust the title ASAP.

Growing up, we look up to sources such as this to help us with English as she is spoken.

Can anyone really rely on Nairaland for best practices?

Thank you

duro4chang:
There are many Yorùbá names whose meanings are now lost due to the fact that the words forming their roots are no longer in use.
For instance, ask the young Master Ọlọ́pàádé the meaning of his name and he will probably tell you that his name means “the policeman has come“. Ask Mr. Ọlọ́paádé, his father, and he would probably tell you it means “the owner of the staff has come“. The two of them would be wrong as Ọlọ́pàádé actually means “the Ọpa (re|re) devotee has come“. The same goes for all other Ọpa names like Opadotun. Those names show that the ancestors of the bearers of the names were worshippers or devotees of the Ọpa Cult otherwise called Awo Ọpa, one of the religious cults or secret societies proscribed by the British in colonial days.

This is very informative and educative and I enjoyed myself reading this. Kudos to the author for trapping our cultural existence in this narrative. Unfortunately, my specie of the Yoruba language is complex, I'd have asked the author to help with some names. The thing is if you are a non-native speaker of my dialect, you won't be able to do much with the meanings or translations.
Nice piece scholar!

Maybe we should add another one called

3 Physically Violent Players

1. Suarez
2. Pepé
3. Diego Costa

Marcelo isn't that violent. He just doesn't like to lose ball. If he loses it, then he brings you down, but not always. Pepé will bring you down and fight you. Suarez will bring you down and bite you.

I'm laughing right now at Suarez biting the other players. He seems to have stopped doing that now.

While you are jobless pointing out people's English

I am useful posting what I do for a living

As per Mr professor

Digital Bimpe fire on jare

Na grammar wey no dey English dictionary wey dey give you traffic and people dey make enquiry on your business you go follow

Correct �

You have finally admitted it that there are flaws all over your write-up. That's a step in the right direction.

Dear Bimpe, I'm actually an English lecturer so I'm not jobless, I've only given you snippets of what I do and I'm doing it for you free of charge. You should be thankful.
In case you're wondering, I'm usually not this visible here, Common! It's the holidays and I have some free time on my hands now so Bim, whether you like it or not, I full ground!

Wordsfrombimpe:
Lmao

Even wetin You type sef you know even Sabi English

You dey here dey shame yourself not me

Omo e be like sey na bad English dey give traffic

Digital Bimpe fire oh

Those my correct English no dey help ministry lols

I'm amused at how you always quickly switch code to pidgin English whenever you are conversing with me, that's a smart move but NO escape for you because you are found out already.

First, work on your punctuations. If they're missing or misplaced, they have a way of confusing the reader.

Also, improve on your tense usage. Your verbs need to be expressed in the right tense.

Then, collocation too is a problem for you. Go and find out what it is and adjust.

The biggest room in the world is the room for improvement. This is not witch-hunting. Somebody already pointed out an error you made earlier when you typed "medulla of oblongata"
Bimpe, come down from your high horse and learn.

Follow people wey sabi

Wordsfrombimpe:
You for read am backwards na as the English get as e be na lols

Follow the people wey sabi. Get a private English tutor to brush you up. Believe me, in your kind of business you very well need it.

It takes confidence and courage to build that self esteem

Some of this ladies will see the red flag but still dive head first. Serves them right. I met this corper girl of recent, pretty and all and we got talking. Was travelling to the east a while after and I even gave aunty the option of joining me. She refutted and was begging this guy to come see her and spend time with her. Dude kept telling her he his done but omo mehn see begging. Left that minute with the little pride I have left and a day or so after after dude came to pick her, used her and dumped her back home, aunty was callinga week after to ask if the offer still stand. Las Las I helped her with 10k for transport. I just keep thinking why the hell will a lady see obvious red flags and still continue waking the devil.

Thank you. I was about to talk about the red flags. Or is colour red not bright enough anymore? A guy that will behave that way, you would've seen it in his mien pe oloriburuku ni, Haba! The lady just like your NYSC girl, has no sense. How can I be begging a man to spend time with me? For what na? It should be the other way round.

Don't link everything to Tinubu. Be sensible. This thing that happened is a national disgrace, stop playing your cheap politics with it.

Jennyclay:
Nigerians are thieves. An average Nigerian is naturally wicked and criminal minded with a get rich quick syndrome by any means, even if it takes them to steal and kill.

I don't know how we got here because you're 101% correct.

It's enough present for me. Then from me to me, I got myself a crazy design nude Gucci bag plus Bruna earrings. Rice and Stew gonna be plenty
