2. The pronunciation of "controversial"
Go figure. Americans stand divided over whether to pronounce it "con-truh-VUR-see-yul" or "con-truh-VUR-shal." You don't even have to hop a plane across the pond to take part in the battle. Funny enough,Merriam-Webster's and the American Heritage Dictionary acknowledge both pronunciations. So now that a definitive answer exists, it's time to get back to arguing about whether to call it soda, pop, or coke.

1. The Oxford comma

Debates regarding whether the Oxford comma should keep on being used are comparable to those about the death penalty and/or abortion. Seriously. Most grammarians have an opinion on the subject, and their opinion is always right and never wrong ever and also they will use an insistent voice when relaying it.

Like anything else involving stringent rules and regulations, grammar harbors a hefty share of obsessive fanboys and fangirls who enjoy debating its ins, outs, and other various quirks. So of course controversies break out in academia, the media, and even intimate conversations between friends. After all, you don’t have to have an English degree to get steamed up when someone uses poor grammar. Here are a few of the ones that churn stomachs and angry up the blood, in no particular order.

Lets share a screen shot of our data usage for the month of July

Is it possible to register for direct entry before doing regularisation.

Couples who have difficulty in having babies could receive sperm from a donor when the husband is tested to be infertile. The donated sperm is then used to fertilise the woman’s egg to conceive.

There is nothing wrong in sperm donation but I would not advise a man to donate to a friend or family member except there is a legal agreement. If he donates sperm without signing any paper, he can always return to claim his child since he is the biological father. He can also useit as a means to extort the affected family. To avoid controversies in the future, there should be a legal agreement.

What's your view on this Nairalanders ?

You did the right thing by sharing. Better than suffering in silence.

If you're not inspired everyday, maybe you're looking in the wrong direction

Think: what impact would you want to make?

Then start doing something about it, no matter how small

The profile of a man who calls Nigeria a zoo

Nnamdi Kanu attended University of Nigeria (Nsukka) with the help of Federal Government of Nigeria scholarship grant

2) Nnamdi Kanu was born in 1972 implying that he never experienced Biafra- Nigeria civil war (1967-1970) and the resultant horrors

3) The father of Nnamdi Kanu is a village head in Abia State (Nigeria) who receive monthly salary from Federal Government of Nigeria

4) Nnamdi Kanu's wife and children are british citizens who cannot speak Igbo language

5) Nnamdi Kanu is a british citizen. (Note): if there is war in Nigeria today, Britain will send warship to Nigeria and rescue Nnamdi Kanu back to London leaving behind his 'blind, deaf and dumb' supporters to suffer effects of war

6) Nnamdi Kanu said he is of Jewish Religion. (Note): Reading books from two foremost Igbo historians (Professor Ifeatu Afigbo and Professor Kenneth Dike), i was made to understand that there is no place for Jewish Religion in Igbo land. Rather, the Igbos are usually Catholics, Anglicans and Traditionalists

7) Nnamdi Kanu said he is greater compared to Jesus Christ. (Note): With this statement, it is glaring to state here that Nnamdi Kanu is mentally deranged.

Thanks.

I'm a student that finished my ND program at a polytechnic here in Nigeria around February and had to round up with my project around April. Since then, I've been at home doing nothing. I wanted to start working but the fact that I do still go to school sometime and do travel won't make me start work because I might not be given the time I need at work to sort things out myself. I'm planning to go for a direct entry and it's going to be around October or November before I start schooling again. Pending the time I'll be going back to school, I want to ask please what kind of business (part time work or my own business) can I be doing for the main time that can fetch me money to keep up with myself because I'm tired of staying at home doing nothing.

Serious minded people, please I need your serious advice.

BREAKING: Evans vanishes; Billionaire kidnapper’s whereabouts unknown, moved out of Lagos midnight by 30 heavily armed men


After weeks of public furore and media frenzy, a sudden blackout has descended on the case of Chukwuduneme Onwuamadike a.k.a. Evans, Nigeria’s infamous billionaire kidnapper, thus fuelling speculations that he’s escaped, or dead. SunNews has however gathered that Evans is not dead as his family now fears but has been moved from the Lagos police command headquarters cell by about 30 heavily armed men at midnight few days ago to an undisclosed destination.
Some senior police officers in the know told Saturday Sun he was moved to Abuja Indeed , in the last few days, a palpable silence seemed to have enshrouded the Evans phenomenon. Where is Evans? It is a question the police is not prepared to officially answer right now.
A man who hitherto divulged the details of his criminal life to the public almost on a daily basis is suddenly no longer accessible to even the press corps. All a Saturday Sun reporter who visited the state police command was told was that Evans is no longer allowed to talk to the press till further notice. The secrecy surrounding his whereabouts in the official quarters baffles those who have closely followed his story since his arrest. After days of sniffing around the Lagos police formations to get information on Evans whereabouts, it was gathered that the kidnap kingpin had been moved out of the Lagos command headquarters days ago by heavily armed policemen and is yet to be returned.
Police had last week said they had got a court order to detain him for three months to give them enough time to complete their investigation. This followed two suits filed by Evans lawyer, Olukoya Ogungbeje, at the High Court seeking his release and claiming N300m damages from the police. Some senior police officers who spoke to Saturday Sun on condition of anonymity expressed fears that Evans might not make it to the court. They argued that he might plot his escape from prison, or get across to some of his members who are still on the run. Their concerns are not farfetched, given that several inmates in the past had reportedly committed much heinous crimes even while in prison.
Some of the officers confirmed that Evans was no longer in the police cell in Lagos. “He has not been returned since he was moved out. Evans is a broken man; police can’t resort to extra-judicial killings at this point. He is cooperating, and he is ready to help return all his ill-gotten wealth as soon as possible”, one of the officers said.Another reliable source at the police command told Saturday Sun“Evans is not an ordinary criminal. I guess that they took him out for further investigation but I don’t know why they are yet to return him to his cell.” The source further assured: “No one is planning to kill Evans. I believe that they will return him later. He could be in any good cell in the state for security reasons, but I can assure you that he is not dead yet. Even if anything happens to him, if he dies in custody, it will be as a result of cancer which he claims he is suffering from.”Yet another senior police officer who preferred anonymity assured that Evans is okay. “He is okay and seriously cooperating with the police in its investigation. From the look of things, he might not spend up to three months in detention before he’s charged to court. As for his location, I assure you that he is in a protective custody somewhere out of town.” The officer who reinforced fears within the police circle, said that “a criminal is always a criminal,” adding that, “with the number of robbery cases and kidnappings to his credit, he is well known among criminals.” He told Saturday Sun: “Within the short period that he spent in our cell, he is already controlling inmates in the cell. They fear and respect him; we do not want to run the risk of allowing him to form another notorious group which is common amongst them.”On why his family is yet to get access to him, the officer said that they are yet to approach the police. “A lot of his family members benefitted from his ill-gotten wealth, so they are afraid to come close to the police station.Evans confirmed that he bought a car for his father and also gave him N3m. The police will recover such money and properties.We will soon get a warrant to pick his father up and possibly his mother, who also benefitted.”Calls and text messages to both the Lagos Police Spokesman, Olarinde Famous-Cole and the Force PRO, Moshood Jimoh on the official positionof the Police on Evans’ whereabouts were neither answered nor responded to as at 10pm yesterday.

Hello guys, thrs has been this girl that we've known each other for some while nd it's been a while we saw each other last. The last time I called her, I told her to come over to my place and she agreed bt she said I'm gonna pay for her transport fare. Is it right or not for me to do that and if not, how do I tell her I'm not gonna pay for it without her changing her mind.
