Page07: Read This
Most times when we walk into big malls, boutiques, supermarkets, we never question their prices. We pay exactly what we see on the price tags and even hand out tips to the staff.
But the moment we are out of these shops and want to buy banana, our bargaining game gets off to the roof.
Poor widow with 12 hungry children at home tells you banana is N100. She even takes out her time to explain how difficult it was for her to even buy it, how the economy is so tough. But we insist that if it's not N50, we are not paying.
Some of us even step back into our cars and make to drive away. But because 'half bread is better chin chin', this woman is forced to call you back and sell to you at little or no gain.
In her heart, she cries, she's worried about how she'll survive with her children. She silently reassures herself that 'It's well. God will definitely provide.''
While you happily chop the luscious banana. Take some seconds out and think about this, sisters.
I'm always moved to tears when I see people who genuinely and helplessly hawk petty goods to feed and survive for that day, especially women and children.
Please don't bargain hard with small vendors like this. They do business not to buy designer bags, trendy phones and watches, Gucci shoes and designer clothes but to LIVE and EAT for that day and the children share the remaining money to take to school the next day (that's if there's any left). "He who gives to the poor lends to his maker"

Enough of the goddamn 'grammars' ,the fucking e-fights,the silly memes and etcetera . Let it be strictly academic (Uniben's issues). I hope I made myself clear.

RobinHez: Exactly my thoughts too...
ND this is the problem I have with English Language... One word can be used in different context while holding different applicable meanings.
And to think it's the source of this brouhaha... Pathetic.  Right. But when you compare ambiguous words with their surrounding phrases, their implied meanings becomes clear. |

Geofavor: This is childish.
You are the ones who are proud, not him. So, because we reply him and try to come to terms with him, that makes us tools?
This thread was boring; what's wrong in spicing things up while we wait?
If it were based on my post you typed this hocus pocus, then you have a little polished sense of humour, and I urge you to work on it.
Thanks. I guess he meant to say, you were showing off with tools i.e consulting dic., word banks, etc, before posting here. |

I wish I could meet you physically so that you will be speaking all the ‘grammar’ and I will be telling you their meanings without a dictionary, Just like I did to a guy in our hostel during a grammar contest . which course are u studying? |

Geofavor: Guy, I'm sure you're not as fervent as I am when it comes to lexicon in the English language. A whole lot of people here too probably have a ginormous vocab. But it is only maladroit conversationalists that bombard their chat partners with obscure and formal words, especially in an informal setting such as this thread. That's veracious, Geo. His grandiloquence is qite puerile  |
