₦airaland Forum

This is a topic which has been on my mind. The spoken English of our leaders is bad, and I think we deserve better. But who'll demand? Is it Nairalanders whose written English is nothing to write home about? Even the OP made terrible mistakes.

@Odunnu lol! We should request that we be given certificates of membership too!

Been laughing my head off going thru this thread. See all the people wey wan see danger for their wedding. And someone wants AMONA TETE WA O for his wedding! U guys must be joking!

Mama gee, his blank facial expression alone go win him another CFR,except that this C is COMEDIAN. He's actually good at making us laugh. Wish he'd just keep queit and let his works talk for him. I thnk we need a president that cant talk cos the ones we've had misuse that God-given privilege

Those requesting that Jonathan addresses us didnt, most likely, watch his last presidential talk on NTA. Cos, if u did, u'd probably want 2 be spared the embarassment of watching a president talk no better than a primary school kid. His updates on facebook are clearly not his, cos I bet if he writes that good, or has such good command of written English, he should talk better than that. His P.A is obviously doing his job well, feeding us all what we want and everybody liking him all the way. Anybody read Tolu Ogunlesi's "HAVE YOU LIKED JONATHAN TODAY"?Then u 'd see that it seems Mr. GEJ is just playing to the gallery.

Seems the whole privacy thing has been reduced to phones, e-mails,et al. But its more than that. Personally, a lil bit of privacy and not secrecy is needed. Sometyms, u just may not be ready to let someone in on sth, or u prolly tryin 2 protect d person cos of his/her reaction to such. The only thing we all are scared of in any rel. is to discover that the other person's cheatin. Well, once that issue is sorted out, no need 4 checking fones,e.t.c. I personally dislike any1 trying to monitor me or my moves or sth. I've had enough of that from my father and siblings.

Then I should have been a guy or something!I search myself through and through to find pretence, whinning, nagging and I just cant find it. Lol!
Nyways, here's a list of what guys do that enrages me
* equating boyfriend with father - you cant have that kinda hold on a lady's life. Take some chills.
*Expecting some G.F to clear his mess. NEVER,you make the mess, you clear it. I feel lyk shooting all those girls that wash BF plates, sweep, cook, run errands,e.t.c, untop wetin?
*Refusing to say sorry when its crystal clear they'r wrong. I HATE guys who cant humbly accept that they'r wrng nd just apologz instead of using agbari to avoid the word.
*thinking that female is synonymous with stupidity. A girl has so much upstairs u'll neva know cos u'r busy looking down on her. Guys also think they know it all, only to get shocked. And they so find it difficult to see sense in what a girl is saying cos they 'r blinded by useless ego which wouldnt pay the bills. I'm angry abeg!

Is this the same world renowned dobodobo? See thats what happens when u base ur rel on womanliness dobo-ing cos its sure gonna backfire. Anyway,I'd suggest you break up with her( no let one girl tie you down with mere threats). But, try n find out bout this her embattled ex, and see if its true. A little research wudnt hurt. Contact okija_juju incase things go ballistic. Pastor? Peke le peke le. You first need to repent o. Talk to urself that u dnt need womanliness in hyper doses. Until then, no go meet pastor. But the question we should be asking,though its none of our biz,but wil help us in rendering any useful piece of advice is WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU DO?I'm suspecting a reserve o.b, Somewhere!

Ok. Lemme clarify smethngs. He didnt ask me to be HIS second wife, he asked if I can be A second wife. World of difference. My question is, should I assume he's asking 4 his own benefit, and truncate all ties, or continue being his friend though I have a feeling of where this is headed. And hell no! I wouldnt sleep with a married man, cept he's married to me ofcourse!

Thanks to all those who made meaningful and useful comments. The likes of you make NL a good place to turn to in times when good advice is needed.
@Boller, see, my problem with NL is that they fail to clarify that those signing up have no history of mental illnesses. If they did, you wouldnt be here. For in a forum where intelligible,reasonable comments, devoid of useless and baseless utterances are needed, you fall short. I dont trade insults but you just went on your knees, begging to be insulted with that piece of crap you posted up there. Theres something called respect for people,but asking that of you will be asking a snail to run. The title of this thread should have been FOR SANE MINDS ONLY, maybe then your cursor would have bounced away, instead of you clicking and disturbing your fingers by typing nonsense. I politely asked for opinions. Mind your business if you cant respond in the same vein.

Na wa what? reply to the topic.

A married man asked me if I can be a second wife. I know I shouldnt read any meaning to this question but a girl always knows when a man is hitting at her. I have a hunch that things between us will want to go beyond the platonic friendship we currently have. And I definately wouldnt want to be labelled as a home breaker. At the same time, I dont want to assume what is not and spoil our friendship. It was my answer to his question that even suprised me. I answered in the affirmative. A clear 'No' would have sent him a good message but I didnt say that. My dilema now is should I give some gap,at the risk of losing a good friend, or continue at the risk of things going beyond control. Whats your opinion? thanks.

The material is actually a determining factor, as some materials are easy to handle e.g Singele,silk. But no matter what, 3mins is enough for a eye-turning head gear for me!

Piece of advice for cryptic:
If truly you are still seekin admission, why not just face how you'll secure one instead of coming here just cos you got free browsing? No disturb us for here o.

I hope Zebra543 isnt addressing me. But if you are here's my reply:
U seem not to understand the meaning of 'urge'. I didnt command anybody to respect God. Just offering a piece of advice. And you lost me there with reference to sharia. Whats your point!

Silly thread, devoid of facts, reason and intelligible words. @OP, Get a job!

I submit humbly
1. That we should stop allowing these theives to get away with their crimes under the cover of being men of God and so we shouldnt speak ill of them. Funny how those who have made this comments are more than those who have criticized tudor's blasphemy. Implication - We respect 'men of God' than God himself. Hence, the rot. For as long as pastors are demi-gods, people will keep paying money to them.
2. @tudor, I agree with you, but urge you to atleast respect God. You can lambast the pastors till eternity, but God, nah nah. Would like to know what theory of creation you believe in.

3. Pastor business is booming business. They preach prosperity more than anything. But I dont blame them. I blame the govt. who do nothing bout empowering the people and leave them in penury, thus creating the idea of being rich via a miracle. I blame lazy Nigerians who expect their money to be double overnight through miraculous means because they've given to their pastors. I blame ignorant Nigerians who have decided not to rise above circumstances. I blame the govt again for lack of security cos most people go to churches to seek spiritual security in circumstances when 'man-security' will do just fine. And I blame the followers for being blind to see these pastors for who they are.

I want Dayo's opinions bout this match. What happened?

DK,wats wrong with our boys 2nyt?

I'm so sad. I dont even know what to do. Its just too sad. But its a lesson for us all. And thats why we'll keep watching football- its so unpredictable. Imagine if it was Nigeria. Gyan don kpai be that o!

Who cursed Ghana? They rnt impressing 2nyt o.

Any sensible and honorable Nigerian on that list should reject the award. To be grouped on the same honor-scale as Etteh is an insult, embarrasment, and belittling. It means equating one's honor to Patricia's, an offer which should be distasteful and a source of irritation to any sane mind. But do we have any on that list? Its sad that even religious clerics have joined in this. Reuben Abati wrote an article about this once. I didnt know it was this bad. National honours list ke? More like National thieves list. What have these people achieved? True achievement isnt recognized and its sad. I think Seun deserves an award too o. For giving us Nairaland. No joking here.
