TravelRe: Do All English Speaking Africa Countries Understand Pidgin English? by samwash(m): 3:51pm On Sep 28, 2023
Gajagojo:
Cameroon and Ghana understand a lot and some Cameroonians sound like Nigerians
I think Nollywood also contributes

Sierra Leone and Liberia sound a bit similar and can understand us
Yes you are right maybe because we are in the same ECOWAS & our Nollywood is also play a major role because they watch our movies alot.
But you see those countries outside ECOWAS, their Pidgin is entirely different from ours.
Am only drawing emphasis on anglophone countries, those African Franch, Portuguese countries also have their own Pidgin language.

SIMP

Why is he begging Obaseki?
Be a man and resign. Join another party and contest.

Even if you don't win, at least you would have your selfworth intact.

Asslicking with no benefit is worse. Take a look at Ambode and see how Tinubu retired him in politics despite his asslicking.
Even if Shaibu resign today & join another party, I don't think any major party in Edo state will like to field any candidate outside Edo Central for now, majority of the pple are clamoring for Edo Central.
APC or LP will not want to field any candidate outside Edo central.

Hemeshemeheru:
I am curious. grin

Exempt West Africa. Do other regional Africa Countries understand pidgin English if spoken to them?
First of all Pidgin English is not a standard English, the way I speak my Pidgin English in the south, the northern finds it difficult to comprehen it a times talkless of a person from another Africa country.
Why we understand each other is because many of those Pidgin words/ slanges are coin from English language.
I may not fully understand the Pidgin English a Ghanaian is speaking but because those words are structure in English I have clues of that he's talking about.
Try listen to those Africa counties that speak English as their first language, then listen to their Pidgin English, it's entirely different from the ones we speak in Nigeria.

TravelRe: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by samwash(m): 8:20pm On Sep 12, 2023
sakieja:
Good morning house.still on the issue oo.i am applying for my family of five.i made a mistake of mis spelled for one person, instead of ADEPOJU,I WROTE ADEOJU.i didn't even notice until I generated receipt that I was able to see the error.the application has been summited and paid for.please guuru in the house,how do I tackle this before capturing.please help me
Let me help you out Abit, I don't kwn the passport office you use , but normally before capturing, they will have to verify ur documents, like an interview, asking you some questions, verifying with ur original documents, in doing so, they can correct all errors in your application file.
Then after capturing, they will tell you to looking at the monitor screen in front of you, you will have to take your time to check word by word if your name spelling is correct and your date of birth is also correct before submitting it to their data base.
Don't worry, you still have opportunity to correct the errors you made during the application process, the only way to be botherd is after capturing you realise the error and it had already been submitted.
Just stay calm, they application slip is just a receipt is just like an acknowledgement slip for payment for capturing and that will not be use to Capture your data on their data base.
Hope this illustration helps.

efelicity:
So I have this woman in my neighborhood who usually squeeze out time to check on me in my apartment whenever her husband goes to work, he's a police officer in one of the stations in town.
Last night she brought me pepersoup as she has always done but she didn't leave immediately, and there's no way I will tell her to leave. I went to the bathroom and showered then streamed into my bedroom to change, this woman tiptoed after me and pull-loosed the towel leaving me straight naked. I was trying to send her off but she used her womanly power to overcome me. What happened would only be told in the death of the night. Fear women! I repeat fear women!!!
@Op, I can help you press charges for rape if you want, sue that bastard.
You can rip them off & become financial rich. Thank about it

Love800:
Okay.
So u mean dat we should rebuild another well again?
Am thinking otherwise because its just the first ring above that is faulty.
No you are not rebuilding another well, give the job to an expert, they kwn what to do.
I this case, I think dey will have to crack and remove the top rim to reach the faulty ones, dem relace the bad onces.
Now that there's rain & wells are filled with water, I don't think it's a good time to renovate that well, cause they will have to remove the debris at the bottom of the well,if there's any cause of the fallen rims.
Well like I say,an expert kwn what to do.

Its the upper ring above the ground dat is falling off. The ones dat are below and inside are okay.
Similar thing happened to the one in my compound, we hired Aboki guys, they removed everything completely,drain the well, removed all the debris of the broken rims from the bottom of the well & re- arrange the rims from bottom to top & also replace the missing rims section.
In our case the upper section of the rim got broken, leaving the top & bottem rims intact.
