nairavsdollars:
Still makes no sense. God can you use anybody to do the right thing including that your wicked uncle

Don't bring God here.. I am talking about affairs of men.. The uncle has his intention and no matter how nice his advice is I am not taking it.. He should give it to his children..
But for mother b4 she finishes you are on your way... Intention is important..

surgical:
you no get sense whalai , playing politics with your life and family life,dont you know you or any of your loved ones can be a victim
For a wise man solution to problems can come from an unusual place,he will therefore not ignore anylead

Na u no get sense.. Ode ni ye. You jump into a quote insulting some one without even put your thinking cap on, that is if you have one.. It is your life and your family life you are using to play politics since you go about taking advice from every Tom dick and Harry without considering intent. Taking advice Intention matters.. Not all gifts are good some are Trojan horses.. Anu mpam run along jare..

gaskiyamagana:
This one is exceptional among my chest beaters bloder from...

Leave Online miscreants there a lots of reasonable Igbos who are do not come online to make noise like political jobbers.. They like to give Igbo nation bad image with their useless advice and we are the wisest of them all.. Na so our Aba and other states remain like that.. Instead of the to start from home then the go away. Charity begins at home.. We know most of our people support pdp let us get what is due us there first before following tinubu whose protégé is vice president..
We need to remove the log in our eyes first be4 helping tinubu remove his own..

Penguin2:
I thought Resident Zombies said Tinubu innitiated every move that happened at the NEC?

Why visit him if not to massage his bruised ego?

It's "Ite Missa Est" for Tinubu's lofty dreams but zombies like to live in self-denial just like they are denying the fact Nigeria is in shambles even Northeners have started protesting.

LOL Misse agwu si go...
Church agba sa go...
Lol you are funny lol

ORIENTATION101:
Atiku is popular but doesnt have political clout.
Tinubu is popular and has political clout thats why he is is the Biggest asset in politics in Nigeria

If Tinubu want PDP ticket in 2023 they will ditch Atiku for him because winning is assured

I bow for your political insight tuale.. All this noise tinubu this and that is because they hot Obaseki into their fold by thinking that the were instrumental to scattering Obaseki and Oshiomole with their rants even though it has nothing to do with them..but look how Obaseki looks like Jackpot to them. Their happiness to have him says it all.. Unfortunately Tinubu is not Obaseki.. If tinubu says he is going to pdp today watch the hypocrite tell you what they have been carrying all along in their minds.. How he is the a great politician this and that... I know this people well.. But great men do not stop at every bingo that barks on the road side..

Chosen1984:
U guys wanna visit Tinubu again to give him another inconsequential position .

Maybe this time , they will call him "Apc International Supreme Leader"

Yet they will relegate him to the background when Real matters are arising..

Once beaten... twice shy!
Affliction shall not arise the second time.

Oga Tinubu, they have come again! It is in your court..

Advicer general of Nigeria.. Tinubu does not need your advice ndiigbo.. Go and advice our leaders on how to et presidential ticket in pdp first.. You leave were you are working like a horse and eating like ant to advice tinubu who is working like ant and eating like lion.. Oga that your advice first apply it to yourself personally then when you succeed maybe 1/4 of what tinubu is I am sure he will listen to you.. Person wey no get job no dey advice who get job.

nairavsdollars:
So, Afenifere can't tell him to do the right thing? I pity your reasoning. so you are saying the Service Chiefs should continue in office

Reason well... Think before you comment..

If your mother tells you to go to school it is for your own good

And an evil uncle that killed your father and want to make sure that your family is wiped out comes to you one day and sits you down and tell you to go to school it is for you own good..

In this scenario the same sentence both good but here there is a big difference which lies intention..

Your mother's sentence was out of love
Your evil uncle maybe has sent people to kill you in the bush path to school.. Intention.. Now go back and read my sentence again.. Think before you comment..

winterfell007:
please pay them no attention. I'm from the southeast but anytime i log in to nairaland and see a people displaying nonsense enthic sentiments i get pissed off. Always having this "Marginalization complex" is becoming sickening to me. The eastern region is replete with gas resources an projects that can fuel her industries...

. I am from South East imo state too but seriously these miscreants are spoiling the reputation of the Igbo nation because of cheap China phone.. The make us look like without oil or south south we won't survive.. This is also the reason you see them irrespective of what Jonathan did they keep licking ass instead of telling him the truth in his face.... We are know to be resilient this generation na real lazy youth I won't lie to you.. The think things will just fall at their feet.. They will remain in limbo looking for who to blamewhile others are moving forward..

zombieTRACKER:
This is the kind of people killing the country..
Buhari supporters i presume
Evrything is politics... Even doing the right thing

Such a pity for the country ...

Call me Buhari supporter zombies or whatever I am just telling you reality. Nobody including your hypocritical self will take advice from who you know does not mean well for you if he like let him be saying gospel truth.. The fact you know he doesn't like you or mean well for you, you already know there is an underground intention to it.. It not as bare face as when your mother gives you that same advice..

XXLMANDIGO:
I don't know why the bigoted Northerners feel Buhari hasn't done enough for them. This is a massive project to secure one of the country's investment in the North.

North North are you people illiterate can you not read? " the AKK “pipeline project is itself a section of an ambitious pipeline project to supply gas to Europe through the proposed Trans-Sahara Gas Pipeline (TSGP) and Nigeria Morocco Gas Pipelines.” Are you people so shallow minded? If the successfully pull this off do you know the economical impact? It is Russia that will suffer it. It is of great economy value to Nigeria.. Everything to you guys is tribalism.. You are worst than white racist .. Thank God you are black if you type were white we will still be in slavery till this day

realstars:
The Service Cheifs Has Faild The Nation, The Best Thing Is To Sack And Replace New One For The Growth Of The Nation,

The fact its afenifere I am sure Buhari won't do it... Let Civil society groups try to appeal to him to do that I think it will make more sense..

There is no difference between Afenifere and PDP so it's like taking advice from your enemy..

Bubu get ear problems for any thing coming from this 2 groups Lol..

legitnow:
Just imagine, they will lay pipe from Kano to SE and SS just for Gas.


They have moved from oil to Gas because the money from oil fell.


That thing they are using the gas for in Kano should have been built near the location of the Gas.


There is no excuse to steal the Gas of the south to the NORTH.


All they do is steal, thinking we are fools.

My friend is the gas your father's own? Is it your papa that put it there? Is the gas going to be transported for free?? I hate it when would be literates talk like illiterates.. stop it joor.. Stop rubbishing us biko..

Baloranking:
Nice one federal government

Must federal government do ever? What stops previous and present state governor from repairing the road and collect the money back like river state?

https://www.icirnigeria.org/how-i-declined-10-percent-of-the-money-i-found-nigerian-honoured-in-japan-reveals/

I had tears in my ears as I read this.. There is hope for Nigeria. I hope president Mohammed Buhari can honor him too.. The narrative must change.. It is same thing that happened to me here.. First when I arrived in Germany an old German man where I lived he didn't like talking to me, was very snubish to me just because after a lively talk on the first day, next time he asked me where I was from I said Nigeria.. Omo from that day the man changed until one day he left his wallet and phone on a chair in the park.. He was already at about to drive off when I knocked on his window and returned his phone and wallet.. The man was looking at me like I was a ghost.. The man ended of being my first reference for my first job after arrival.. Now he cannot stop talking n telling people how good I am.

Second time my neighbour from Peru left his wallet and phone on top his car.. I returned it to his wife since that time their perception has changed.. They are now so open but I didn't do it for all this thing. I did it because that is who I am. but I am happy these acts changes a little perception about our country.. GOD bless all the honest hustlers wherever you are and may God smile on yours hustles.. AMEN

Juell:
B4 proposing he go don know the levels at which they are

You never meet desperate girls.. This one na real test omo u dey go prison she go show her real self

Sarah20A:
there's nothing like Christians or muslims when it comes to politics .

. So why is he asking? Why the Buhari wants to islamize us? Why APC is a Muslim party talk? Hmmm

Juell:
Abeg, what's the sense in this kinda proposal?

The sense na to use style know if she be for better or worse material.. Didn't you hear the police man? DO YOU KNOW HIM? She replied with emphatic yes.. Or them slay Queens will deny immediately... "Nooo I just came to eat isi EWU with him we just met now now"

Danielhouston:
Now you’re back-tracking and contradicting yourself. I just posted a Wikipedia page which is an open fact. Yet you’re finding ways to spin this around and gain support. That is the problem wi to some of you on Nairaland. You show up with your opinion and try to discredit someone else. When the person bring receipts and shows you facts, you turn it into rudeness.

Accept when you’re wrong and learn from it. It won’t kill you. We all learn everyday. And don’t keep editing your comments to save face. Bye.

. You are the one who should take up your advice.. You got something mixed up instead of you to own up your trying to pin it my first comment was all Germans can understand Hochdeutsch and that goes to Swiss, Austria, lichtenstein, Luxemburg, sudtirol and German Belgium. And you jumped in with Swiss German is different that Germans cannot understand the Swiss.. I made it clear to you that occurs only with dialect which is Swiss German. So if you cannot practice what you preach don't post it here oga..

Danielhouston:
Didn’t you see the Wikipedia page I just posted? You’re one of those people who can’t be open to learning, when they are wrong. You’d rather turn it to an attack when you have nothing else to say.

Can you see your Wikipedia proves me right.. SWISS STANDARD GERMAN = HOCHDEUTSCH incase you do not know..

While Swiss German is the dialect putting this in contest it is exactly what I have been saying from my first post.. Irrespective of where you come from you can understand Hochdeutsch because is the same all over.. But dialect is different even in Germany some from Hamburg cannot understand pple in Baden-Württemberg and Bayern and they themselves cannot understand Plattdeutsch.. Simple so what lead you to argue with me is the question now?

seunny4lif:

You will understand the lecturers because it’s standard German, they are use in Class.
I always reply our company mails from Austria and Swiss with my German language because it’s all the same.
Mind you Americans English a little bit diff from British English both in writing and speaking

Thank you for this.. that is exactly what I am saying.. Hochdeutsch everyone will understand but dialect is not for every one..
American English is different in speaking and writing but only slightly that even you an educated Nigerian can understand communicate when you come across it same as a British. That means the difference is negligible. And that is my point with Hochdeutsch but dialect is totally different ball game.. I do not understand schwäbischclearly .. I went to Stuttgart and for an interview and the woman that I was to meet before the interview spoke in schwäbisch I didn't understand Jack I was only hearing words I know and I was making out meaning from them with my head.. When she noticed and asked where I was coming from I said Hamburg she switched immediately to Hochdeutsch and really the preparation was smooth i understood all...thereafter..i know swiss German dialect is even totally different in writing like gewesen is gsi

Danielhouston:
You’re re-editing your comments lol

I am nor editing I add facts for you.. I do not know what you are trying to achieve.. With your hankypanky.. I am not in an argue to to win but I stand my ground on facts.. I did not argue on Dutch if you notice.. But for Deutsch both Swiss and German I will go any length because I know it well. I started learning German at an earlier age and I started with Swiss German and The text book Deutsch in der Schweiz before I migrated and have master the language so I make my argument from a position of strength before I tell you something I know it for a fact.. Go and ask your native speaker friends about Hochdeutsch and dialects

PDP should check oga Obaseki result well ooo... This withdrawal get as e be oo.. Me dey see am as plan B ooo.. Wey them fit use after election hmmm I don talk my own. Ooo

Danielhouston:
You really don’t read to understand. You read to argue. Didn’t I just say that an educated Swiss can speak “hochdeutsch”? Are lecturers and students not part of education? I’m tired. I’d rather take up with discussion with someone.

So why argue in the first place go back and read my post you quoted..

Danielhouston:
You make it sound as if you’re the only one living in Germany and understands German. I also studied here and I speak German. Regardless, we’re both foreigners and not native speakers. Like I said, this is just an argument with different opinions. Nothing we state here is 100% fact. Even Germans have different opinions about this. Don’t state your opinion like it’s a fact. Just say what you know.

Like I said, Swiss-German is the native language of Switzerland. I also said that a Swiss person can understand a German but most Germans cannot understand Swiss-German. Just like in Nigeria we speak pidgin but can still understand proper English. But a British man cannot understand pidgin, even though he hears some English words in it. Did you read my comment?

The point is: saying German is the official language of Switzerland is a bit controversial to someone who learned german in Germany and moves to Switzerland. A German person cannot fully understand the german in Switzerland. Unless they come across an educated Swiss who can speak standard higher German (hochdeutsch).

Also note that not all Swiss can speak standard German (hochdeutsch). It depends on level of education. Swiss-German is what is widely spoken in Switzerland. What if the German person comes across an uneducated Swiss?

Meanwhile someone who speaks/learns dutch can understand Dutch anywhere. Even with different pronunciations. Hence the German vs Dutch comparison.

oga u are still arguing dialect.. I am talking of hochdeutsch.. Are you saying if a transfer student comes from Swiss int German University he will not understand the lecturer? If this is your argument then oga you did not school in Germany if you did you studied in English is as easy as that. Is like saying mbaise Igbo(swiss German) is different Igbo since mbaise cannot understand nsukka(another German dialect).. Oga there is a central igbo(Hochdeutsch) which if mbaise speaks it nsukka will understand. So if mbaise goes to nsukka and meets illiterate nsukka that cannot understand central Igbo that will make central Igbo different? Whether he understand it or not is not because he is illiterate is not will change it.. it central Igbo is that is central Igbo and that is standard.. I don't know what you are arguing really..

seunny4lif:
Austrians German is diff from Germany German
Swiss German is diff from Germany German
Same goes to all of them
I have worked with both Swiss-German citizens and Austria citizens.
Those guys German are really too strong.
Just like British English is really easy to understand compared to Irish-English or Canada-English or USA-English and worst of all India-English

. Bro pls I will like to ask you do you speak Deutsch? If no I won't go further if you do.. Then I want to ask you who will find it easier to understand someone from bayern dome from Vienna or someone from Berlin? Just like the other guy said its like English America and British.. Is the grammar not the same? How you build present tense, past tense and past particle is not same? Passive tense all what is different is little vocabularies like colour/color and accent.. Are you telling me a British man can not understand what is said in CNN and an American cannot understand BBC? Hochdeutsch is stand and on same level from Austria to Swiss to Luxembourg to lichtenstein to sudtirol and german Belgium.. What is totally different is dialect simple. I don't know where this arguement that swiss cannot understand German hochdeutsch who ever says that does not speak and understand German is that simple

Danielhouston:
Excuse me, “Hochdeutsch” is standard German or proper German. The definition of what is considered “proper German” depends on the country that is speaking it. To say ALL Germans understand hochdeutsch, no matter where they come from, is a generalized statement. What Germany considers “hochdeutsch” may not be what a Swiss would consider it to be. That’s like American and British English and arguing which is more correct. That has nothing to do with this conversation anyway.

We’re talking about spoken languages, not about which vocabulary is correct or incorrect. I’ve also been to and worked in Switzerland and that shaped my opinion but I’m not a native German speaker. I’d rather take the opinion of a German and a Swiss who are native speakers and hear what they have to say regarding this.
Pls don’t mistake vocabulary with accent. Bayerns have an accent and “very few” native words, Swiss-German contains differences in vocabulary.

Oga I don't need to argue.. Hochdeutsch is standard German with its Grammatik.. I attend university in Germany and I did my course in German as language of tuition.. Same as my bro in Switzerland.. I am not talking of vocabulary or accent.. I am talking of the language as a whole.. If you listen to the TV or radio, read newspaper or even receive official communication like when I wrote German embassy in Switzerland any German, I or anyother person who understands German regardless of where you come from or learnt German will clearly understand what is there.. But when the Swiss speak to you in Swiss German that is what you as a non Swiss will not understand just like when an Austrian speaks dialect to someone from Hamburg.. But the moment he speaks standards everyone understands.. If you come to Deutschland as swiss you will understand all in radio, television and newspapers but them no born you well to understand plattdeutsch. When even neighbors Niedersachsen cannot understand.. It is as easy as that.. Swiss children are taught in school with hochdeutsch and not swiss German..

Are you aware that having studied in Germany in German you can pursue any course of your choice in Switzerland in German and you do not need any language course.. You will just go direct to lectures or even if it is work you don't not need any language course why do you think it is so if.. The German hochdeutsch is not the samelevel with Swiss Hochdeutsch? Why will a school tell you to start lectures knowing fully well you do not understand what is being said there..
Just like in Igbo.. We have Central Igbo that if I speak all Igbos including igboid languages will understand me but if I go to my dialect the situation changes not every one will understand..

What you have is a slight difference in vocabulary eg. The Swiss will say.. Ich habe eine Billet gekauft.
German will say: Ich habe eine Fahrkarte gekauft..
Both meaning same thing: I bought a ticket..

Nania:
How do one go about that?

To learn Deutsch? Find tutors or Institut near you and learn. GOETHE in lagos and many tutors all over Nigeria.. Do smsll research online you will find..

Danielhouston:
The answer to this is subjective and not one that a google search can correctly answer. Both German and Dutch have 6 countries where they are the official language. But Dutch is more popular around the world and spoken in many more countries as an unofficial but popular language.
Even in South Africa, Afrikaans language is basically Dutch, but they won’t say Dutch is their official language. They call it “Afrikaans”

Have you heard Swiss-German? It is called German but even the Germans cannot understand it. A Swiss person can understand german spoken in Germany, perfectly. But most Germans cannot understand the german spoken in Switzerland. Still, they say an official language in Switzerland is German. Same with Luxembourg, though it is more similar.
Whereas, in the Dutch speaking countries, Dutch is Dutch, just different accents.

For example: English is the official language of Nigeria but Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa are native languages. How many Nigerians can actually speak English? Pidgin is even more popular in Nigeria than English, but it is not listed as an official language. But google would tell you that English is our official language.

A Nigerian who speaks Pidgin English can also speak and understand proper English. But a British man who speaks proper English cannot understand Pidgin English. The British man would definitely hear some English words in the pidgin but he would struggle to understand what we’re saying. That is what Swiss-German and German looks like. Except that Switzerland calls “German” an official language, contrary to Pidgin English.

Someone who learns Dutch would find it easier to communicate in countries where Dutch is spoken, than German language in german speaking countries. Dutch is also easier to learn than German.

This argument is useless, I know. But don’t mind me, I just feel like arguing today.
PS: I brought this up with my colleagues now and the entire office is arguing about it with lots of noise. German vs Dutch

All you said I will answer the one I know very well.. I live in Hamburg and my younger lives in Zurich. I have visited Zurich and Luzern many times.. What you are talking about is Hochdeutsch and Dialect.. ALL GERMANS UNDERSTAND HOCHDEUTSCH IRRESPECTIVE OF WHERE YOU COME FROM. Be it Switzerland, lichtenstein, Austria, Germany or Luxembourg they all understand Hochdeutsch. Swiss German I cannot understand because it is dialect and same way not all Germans can understand Schwäbisch or Bavaria.. The Austrian can understand Bavarian dialect better than a Hamburger or some1 from Dresden. Someone from Niedersachsen cannot understand Platt deutsch.. So it's like that.. Swiss German is a dialect. what is used in school and officially is Hochdeutsch.. Same as all deutsch speaking countries.

Bro and sisters learn Deutsch.. Very important.. Opens up unimaginable horizons. I came here with a B2 language certificate and Bsc in Elect/Elect. my life has been transformed more than I can imagine in less than a year. you won't believe to what extent.. . I won't be going into details I love privacy but truth is a word is enough for the wise. learn Deutsch.. Ich freue mich auf euch hier zu haben und wünsche euch Alles Gute..

jizzyjordan:
. you've said it all bro average salary is annually right?

. Yeah but I will like to correct the Dutch he said can be used elsewhere.. For me German is more spoken elsewhere than Dutch.. I will advise one to learn (Deutsch(German) instead of Dutch). If you Learn German and know English, then Dutch is easier. My friend from Netherlands Felix tried to teach me and in 5 mins I was able to read a full text and understand it.. Just because I can speak German and English.. German is spoken in Austria Switzerland lichtenstein and Luxembourg also so I believe it also gives you wider coverage.. I advise you to go to Germany @Op since I landed here from day 1 I have never regretted it.. I started earning my first Euro the very next day because I arrived here with German language level of B2.. Learn it. it will pay you on the long run.. Ich wünsche euch Alles Gute.
