iamSi: Lotta things many don't understand_ maybe he's suppose to be thrown in Jail or killed_ how many of our kids has got that courage?
What do you mean by courage? Would you extol a boy that slaps your dad because he has got courage to do so?

PoliticsIt Was Wrong For The Arik Airline Stowaway Lad To Have Been Offered Scholarship by Serendipity(op):
I was stupefied upon learning that the Arik Airline stowaway, Daniel Oikhena had been offered scholarship by a group in Osun State.
=
The idea of offering a scholarship to such a lad is unacceptable and grim, as this might serve as a catalyst for other teenagers to engage in such unguided acts.
-
The group that gave the scholarship has just exhibited crass insensitivity to what it means to be socially responsible.
-
It would have been a different kettle of fish if the scholarship had been by an individual and bereft of publicity.

-
Why should he be offered a scholarship?
How many indigent, obedient and intelligent students has this smug group offered scholarship?
-
The group are unwittingly brooking and abetting truancy and recalcitrancy.

=
I opine that the lad should have been reunited with the family and probably helped to know what incited him to engage in such a fatal act. (HE could have died). Equally the security personnel on duty should also be sacked for dereliction of duty.

2ndChance: The sentence should read: "The members suggested that Emeka leaves them". In other words, they suggested that he leaves them.
Again, "leaves" adresses "Emeka" which is singular. If you say "The members suggested that Emeka and Uche leave them", then you are right because more than one person is being addressed. You will be right if you also say that "The members suggested that the people leave them" because "people" is a collective singular which can take either a singular or plural verb depending on the context .
My friend don't be incurious, words like insist, demand, suggest etc are used in the subjunctive and base forms. E.g he insisted that he 'leave'. NOT ''leaves''.

RomanceRe: Use And Dump by Serendipity: 12:43pm On Aug 27, 2013
Be not deceived, everthing in life is pure business. Relationships are no exception. People date for different reasons; some for fun, power, fame, money, security etc.
=
But it is callous to be with a person whom you have given the impression of marriage when you know full well ab initio that nothing can make you spend the rest of your life with that person. Now after wasting their time and resources you bank on a decoy and dump them. Such act is unconscionable.
=
However, it's a different kettle of fish when both parties are involved maybe just for a fling, or just to while away time, both attaching no strings to it after which both parties depart; morality nothwithstanding.

2ndChance: Where did you learn your own grammar? The only error in that sentence is the hyphen beween "steps" and "down".The correct sentence should be "Lawyers Demand That Governor Suntai steps down"."Steps" in the sentence addresses "Governor Suntai" (which is singular) and not "Lawyers" that is plural. In the same way, "demand" adresses "Lawyers" which is plural rather than "demands".
Thanks for stopping by.
I'm afraid, but it appears you are wrong.
=
Ok, what should this sentence read?
=
The members suggested that Emeka 'leave(s)' them.
-
Should it read with or without an ''S''.

LiteratureRe: NYSC: National Year Of Sex And Comfort <<<Adventure of the year: 2013 Awards >>> by Serendipity: 6:13am On Aug 22, 2013
Mazi_Omenuko: Cassey was seated far from the school auditorium, close to the university demonstration secondary school. It was poles away from the auditorium. She directed me to her location and I couldn't help but imagine why they were parked so far from the main event.

"Its my dad's style. He plans to leave early, and claims someone might park behind him and block him from leaving the event when he wants to go. He will be forced to stay till the end.

We walked towards the car and she opened it and got inside the back seat.

"You have your dad's keys?".

"Yea, I told them I wanted to come and rest here".

The car parked at a lonely place, there was a solar powered street light few meters from the car. Its light illuminated the inside of the car a bit.

"Its very boring inside there. And the show just started, I guess there's going to be a long wait".

I looked around, outside the car to check the surrounding. It was very lonely out there. The security guys were at the main parking lot, you can sight them directing cars and ushering in delegates.

Cassey and I talked for a long time. She told me how I changed her body system after the first day we had s'e'x.

"How did I do that", I asked innocently.

"I don't really know, but something I couldn't explain happened deep inside me".

-she had an or'g'a.sm! I will be damned if it was her first time of experiencing such-

"It was as if I felt sick the next day. My body was just reacting somewhere".

-Definitely a first time of o-rg'as.m-

"You had an o'r'ga'sm", I informed her, "and it was your first time, that's why your body reacted that way".

"Is that what happens whenever a girl has an o'r'ga'sm?", she asked.

"No, its not same for all girls, but to some girls, it happens like that".

"What causes it", she asked, so eager to learn.

"Well, during o'rg'as'm, the female hormone oestrogen is released into the body. Sometimes, due to the intensity of the org'a's.m or when you experience double or'ga'sm in succession, excess oestrogen could be released, and it causes slight disturbance in the body ph".

She was quite, so I continued.

"Its the same hormonal release during o'rg'a'sm that makes you sleep off after a good s'e'x".

"How did you know all these?", she asked, rather too serious.

"I must have read it in a book or something. Have you heard of the myth that girls that have raw unprotected se'x tend to have large hips and breasts?" I asked.

"Yes, is it true?".

"Its not entirely true. A girl can have natural big hips or breast, oestrogen produces female physical and sexual characteristics. So its natural, but can be enhanced through sex. Its not the raw sp'e'rms that enters the veegee that enhances it though, its the oestrogen that is released into the blood after a good sex that enhances it. So a girl that has frequent sex, even protected sex, has a high chance of having enhanced physical and sexual characteristics".

"Professor woman-anatomy!", she exclaimed and we both laughed.
=
Who said that oestrogen is released during orgasm or sex?
-
Or better still that sex makes women have larger bosoms or hips?
-
Or that orgasm causes some bodily reactions? It's a damn myth.

Orikinla: You are too old for him at 27.

In ten years time, you will be 37 and he will be 49.
Plus another ten years and you will be 47 and he will be 59.
He will be looking better than you, because women age faster than men. And he may end up cheating on you with younger women.

See me here in my early 40s on http://www.nathanielturner.com/zimbabwehouseofstone.htm, but I can pass for late 20s.

Like seriously is the OP saying that in her school she doesn't see girls plaiting hair, fixing nails, sewing, even selling undies and make-up to raise school fees.

Then of all the choices, it is only prostitution she saw abi? Dear OP forget those people saying a girl got to do what a girl got to do, because even the Bsc you are pursing isn't a guarantee that you will have money or a job.

If you were a man what would you do?
Read between the lines, you fix hair to raise such a kings ransom?
