Anyone who’s gone through school from primary to tertiary and attended English classes should know the difference between urban English ( one that accepts slangs and improper phrases) as opposed to the standard or traditional English taught in schools.
Showing that screenshot shows you barely had familiarity with proper conventional education. Urban dictionaries today have taken up so many slangs that you can’t use formally. If a kid walks up to you with his homework on English, on adverbs of degree, you would use the word slowlier and cause that kid an avoidable embarrassment.
You guys think you need Google for everything even common sense. Now look at the screenshot below and see the red pointer. You only want to win arguments, not learn.
Your parents would’ve gained more money raising livestock than paying for your school fees. So sad it ended this way.

There’s nothing like slowlier, égbon awòn olodo. Say “more slowly” next time. Mumu.
RealLordZeus: wtf is Seoul concern, or maybe they are afraid that Russia will also aid NKorea against them too...
But they also have Uncle Sam..
I hate double standards
I don’t think you know the meaning of double standards. That word has been frequently abused by Putin’s bastards who think it’s just to invade a country and unjust to have another come to her aid.
Same USA that is running around to stop the Chinese 5G network around the world by using propaganda. USA don’t have any technology to showcase apart from Military technology. When it comes to civilian infrastructures right now, the Chinese, Korea and Japan are the best then followed by Germans
Mumu. What makes up military technology? Do you think military tech is just drones, and weapons? Do you even know that the internet with other satellite technologies were first implemented in the US military before it became open the general public?
Most US discoveries and technological breakthroughs go through a tradition of serving the military first. From biotech to nanotechnology… That’s why they have the strongest military. You fools are just shouting military tech, as if it’s different kind of tech wearing khaki.
lecowas: I think China is very well positioned to become the next world power. They have everything required and no regards for religion.
If China doesn't become world power with all in their disposal, it should be another solid proof that God rules in the affairs of men.
We’ve been hearing this for the past 12 years. It’s like a cart and a horse. It’s possible the cable be extended and the distance between the cart and horse doubled, but that cart can never overtake the horse. It’s momentum is tied to the horse’s strength, direction and inspiration.

Rashduct4luv: Some of the biggest misconceptions that many non-Muslims have about Islam have to do with the word “Allah“. For various reasons, many people have come to believe that Muslims worship a different God than Christians and Jews. This is totally false, since “Allah” is simply the Arabic word for “God” – and there is only One God. Let there be no doubt – Muslims worship the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus – peace be upon them all. However, it is certainly true that Jews, Christians and Muslims all have different concepts of Almighty God. For example, Muslims – like Jews – reject the Christian beliefs of the Trinity and the Divine Incarnation. This, however, doesn’t mean that each of these three religions worships a different God – because, as we have already said, there is only One True God. Judaism, Christianity and Islam all claim to be “Abrahamic Faiths“, and all of them are also classified as “monotheistic“. However, Islam teaches that other religions have, in one way or another, distorted and nullified a pure and proper belief in Almighty God by neglecting His true teachings and mixing them with man-made ideas.
First of all, it is important to note that “Allah” is the same word that Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews use for God. If you pick up an Arabic Bible, you will see the word “Allah” being used where “God” is used in English. (Click here to see some examples of the word “Allah” in the Arabic Bible.) This is because “Allah” is the only word in the Arabic language equivalent to the English word “God” with a capital “G”. Additionally, the word “Allah” cannot be made plural or given gender (i.e. masculine or feminine), which goes hand-in-hand with the Islamic concept of God. Because of this, and also because the Qur’an, which is the holy scripture of Muslims, was revealed in the Arabic language, some Muslims use the word “Allah” for “God“, even when they are speaking other languages. This is not unique to the word “Allah“, since many Muslims tend to use Arabic words when discussing Islamic issues, regardless of the language which they speak. This is because the universal teachings of Islam – even though they have been translated in every major language – have been preserved in the Arabic language.
It is interesting to note that the Aramaic word “El“, which is the word for God in the language that Jesus spoke, is certainly more similar in sound to the word “Allah” than the English word “God“. This also holds true for the various Hebrew words for God, which are “El” and “Elah“, and the plural form “Elohim“. The reason for these similarities is that Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic are all Semitic languages with common origins. It should also be noted that in translating the Bible into English, the Hebrew word “El” is translated variously as “God“, “God” and “angel”! This imprecise language allows different translators, based on their preconceived notions, to translate the word to fit their own views. The Arabic word “Allah” presents no such difficulty or ambiguity, since it is only used for Almighty God alone. Additionally, in English, the only difference between “God“, meaning a false God, and “God“, meaning the One True God, is the capital “G”. In the Arabic alphabet, since it does not have capital letters, the word for God (i.e. Allah) is formed by adding the equivalent to the English word “the” (Al-) to the Arabic word for “God/God” (ilah). So the Arabic word “Allah” literally it means “The God” – the “Al-” in Arabic basically serving the same function as the capital “G” in English. Due to the above mentioned facts, a more accurate translation of the word “Allah” into English might be “The One -and-Only God” or “The One True God“.
More importantly, it should also be noted that the Arabic word “Allah” contains a deep religious message due to its root meaning and origin. This is because it stems from the Arabic verb ta’Allaha (or alaha), which means “to be worshipped”. Thus in Arabic, the word “Allah” means “The One who deserves all worship”. This, in a nutshell, is the Pure Monotheistic message of Islam. You see, according to Islam, “monotheism” is much more than simply believing in the existence of “only One God” – as seemingly opposed to two, three or more. If one understands the root meaning of the word “Allah“, this point should become clear. One should understand that Islam’s criticism of the other religions that claim to be “monotheistic” is not because they are “polytheistic” in the classic sense, but because they direct various forms of worship to other than Almighty God. We will discuss the meaning of worship in Islam below, however, before moving on it should be noted that many non-Muslims are unaware of the distinction between simply believing in the existence of only One God and reserving all worship for Him alone. Many Christians are painfully unaware of this point, and thus you often find them asking how Muslims can accuse the followers of Jesus, peace be upon him, of being “polytheists” when they were all “monotheistic Jews”. First of all, it should be clarified that the word “polytheist” doesn’t really sound right in this context, since to many it implies simply believing in the existence of more than one God. So in an Islamic context, “associators”, “man-worshippers” or “creature worshippers” might be more accurate and appropriate terms – especially since Christians believe Jesus to be both “100% God and 100% man”, while still paying lip-service to God‘s “Oneness”. However, as we previously touched upon, what is really at the root of this problem is the fact that Christians – as well as the members of other religions – don’t really know what “monotheism” means – especially in the Islamic sense. All of the books, articles and papers that I’ve read which were written by Christians invariably limit “monotheism” to believing in the existence of “One Sovereign and Creator God“. Islam, however, teaches much more than this.
Suffice it to say that just because someone claims to be a “monotheistic” Jew, Christian or Muslim, that doesn’t keep them from falling into corrupt beliefs and idolatrous practices. Many people, including some Muslims, claim belief in “One God” even though they’ve fallen into acts of idolatry. Certainly, many Protestants accuse Roman Catholics of idolatrous practices in regards to the saints and the Virgin Mary. Likewise, the Greek Orthodox Church is considered “idolatrous” by many other Christians because in much of their worship they use icons. However, if you ask a Roman Catholic or a Greek Orthodox person if God is “One”, they will invariably answer: “Yes!”…
…This brings us to a more important point: It should be clearly understood that what Islam is primarily concerned with is correcting mankind’s concept of Almighty God. What we are ultimately going to be held accountable at the end of our life is not whether we prefer the word “Allah” over the word “God“, but what our concept of God is. Language is only a side issue. A person can have an incorrect concept of God while using the word “Allah“, and likewise a person can have a correct concept of God while using the word “God“. This is because both of these words are equally capable of being misused and being improperly defined. As we’ve already mentioned, using the word “Allah” no more insinuates belief in the Unity of God than the use of the word “God” insinuates belief in the Trinity – or any other theological opinion. Naturally, when God sends a revelation to mankind through a prophet, He is going to send it in a language that the people who receive it can understand and relate to. Almighty God makes this clear in the Qur’an, when He states:
Never did We send a Messenger except (to teach) in the language of his (own) people in order to make (things) clear to them.” (Qur’an, Chapter 14 – “Abraham”, Verse 4)
As Muslims, we think that it is unfortunate that we have to go into details on such seemingly minor issues, but so many falsehoods have been heaped upon our religion, that we feel that it is our duty to try to break down the barriers of falsehood. This isn’t always easy, since there is a lot of anti-Islamic literature in existence which tries to make Islam look like something strange and foreign to Westerners. There are some people out there, who are obviously not on the side of truth, that want to get people to believe that “Allah” is just some Arabian “God“, and that Islam is completely “other” – meaning that it has no common roots with the other Abrahamic religions (i.e. Christianity and Judaism). To say that Muslims worship a different “God” because they say “Allah” is just as illogical as saying that French people worship another God because they use the word “Dieu“, that Spanish-speaking people worship a different God because they say “Dios” or that the Hebrews worshipped a different God because they sometimes call Him “Yahweh“. Certainly, reasoning like this is quite ridiculous! It should also be mentioned, that claiming that any one language uses the only correct word for God is tantamount to denying the universality of God‘s message to mankind, which was to all nations, tribes and people through various prophets who spoke different languages.”

Glimpsetv: A Nigerian lady who introduced herself as Imeh Mary Beauty, a 21-year-old from Akwa Ibom, took to her Instagram handle to plead with Nigerians to help her book a flight, even if it's just from Lagos to Abuja, before her international passport expires. She explained that she has never flown on an airplane before.
Holding her international passport in her hands, she called on popular Nigerian bloggers like Tunde Ednut, YabaLeft, and others for assistance. She said, "This passport is about to expire, and I have never traveled by air before. Please help me book a flight. I am very hardworking; I can clean, I can cook, I can knack, and I can even be your side chick or second wife."
Showing off her passport and travel bags, she added, "I got this passport for ₦100k and bought these bags for ₦40k. Please, Nigerians, help me. I am single, not in any relationship, and I am hardworking."

You claim Akwa ibom girl but later shot yourself in the leg with that Yoruba-Edo accent: “ I am singu ”. Fools everywhere. Still indirectly shading Hilda Baci.
If Rivers politicians can't put their house in order, that's there headache
Idle or useful? Dey play. Who doesn’t know that Nigeria’s current president is far from useful, even though he’s busy. Tinubu on Brownian motion without reasonable results. He redefined uselessness and gave it fame.
underpinna: In as much as the military will win the battle to a degree, they will incur huge damages too. But, how on earth did Asari plan to contain the military? Good a thing the military didn't act like spoiled brats to go on attack. But, Asari should be careful because something huge might just take him by surprise.
They won’t act like spoilt brat because he’s not a harmless, helpless civilian. They’ll also get burnt in part. They can’t afford to, without opening vulnerable ends to Boko Haram. That’s why they won’t.
Buba stop making noise. Tell your men to expel the terrorists raping our women and chasing our farmers away from their farms. Tell your men to neutralize the jihadists that have displaced many Nigerians from their homes into IDP camps. Leave Asari. He’s not the reason for Nigeria’s misery and the uselessness of her President. Take your helicopters to Sambisa. You have a lot of work to do there.
Augustine2244: China one of the nightmares of the West. That's how she tightly controls her religious sector,so TIGHT,that she has often been vilified as Antichrist nation by the West. But it's all lies. China practices what's called STATE ATHEISM, whereby religion is completely detached from matters of government,politics and religious leaders are forbidden to interfere in political affairs. In China, religious leaders are forbidden from influencing public opinion on government matters and using them to preach to members. The funny thing about this great nation is that she's tagged Antichrist nation,yet is the undisputed biggest printer of BIBLES,far far beyond the so called God's own Country,USA. Most versions of the Bible are printed in China_Good News Version, Revised Standard V,,NIV Bible,CSB Bible , Pocket bibles of all types, Union Version to name but a few. China churns out Bibles and is highly developed, while Nigeria has pastorpreneurs who are mostly sick in the brain, owning private jets and expensive schools,yet is still lagging behind in development and growth because the people have thrown their brains into the waste basket of these useless churches.
China prints the most Bibles doesn’t make her exceptional. It’s even dangerous for the Christians because the CCP has a reputation for controlling and censoring what comes out from the pulpit. She’s even having schemes in place to alter translations to suit the CCPs values. I know you’re either a jihadist or a sadist.
More than 20 million Protestant and Catholic Bibles are printed annually by America’s largest Bible publishing companies. But few are aware that most of these Bibles are printed in China, by Amity Printing Company. (Bible publishers that don’t print in China include InterVarsity Press [IVP], St. Ignatius Press, St. Benedict Press, Cambridge University Press, R. L. Allan & Son, and Schuyler Bibles.)
Ibehchizzy: Didn't even know china citizens were travellers What could have necessitated the Brain drain in the first place?
Are you surprised? Lol. A lot of kids here who worship China don’t know they trail behind the West. This is because they can only lead in scale or numbers but not in authenticity and blueprints of new birthed technologies. I know some people will come here to shout 5G technology. I laugh in Swahili.
