Crime › Re: Police Shoots Man For Laughing by slap1(m): 12:31pm On Dec 30, 2010
The recruitment process of these !diots should be seriously looked-into. It's not unusual to see a notorious street thug join the police force. What do you expect from an imbecil* like that? This is so unreasonable and diabolic! The salary of that baboon should be used to take care of that man and he should be disarmed ASAP! Blawdy moro n! What were they doing in a danfo bus anyway?
Education › Re: ABC Of Common Errors And Mistakes In English by slap1(m): 12:00pm On Dec 30, 2010

^^^

What about influences from mother tongue/first language.

We also have to recognize and promote our version of the language: Nigerian English.

South Africans have their own. Phrases/clauses like[b] 'live large' [/b] and 'large it' are South African.
That is basically the root of these 'errors'. The way a child speaks is influenced by [what is spoken] his environment.

Did you watch Arsenal-Chelsea match? Did you watch it on Sky Sports channel?

About 10 minutes into the match, the commentator (Martin Tyler?) said:

"Clichy plays the shot with his right foot; not his best foot".

Is this statement correct or incorrect?

Please help.
"Best foot" clearly SOUNDS correct because it's been in use for a long time. "Better foot", however, IS correct. But it's better to use the former in informal/everyday writing and use the latter in 'hyper'-formal writing. Thanks for that link, I've subscribed 'shaperly'.

There is more to this than we are being told.
I have to agree with you, it's not just a manual issue. All the same, I don't like the idea.

^^ The question is, how long are we going to suffer in silence? Who are the people in power supporting this genocide? I've always asked myself, how many versions of the Koran are there?

"Consulting with the north" means bribing the northern elders, giving lucrative jobs to their children ( both the smart and the dumb), and giving them the power to nominate a certain number of the cabinet members.

Politics › Re: Obasanjo Collapses In Church by slap1(m): 8:42am On Dec 28, 2010
OBJ is going to die when he will, not because some people on Nairaland wished him death, but because it's his turn. I wish him quick recovery, but if it's time, no amount of good-will will undo it.

Kindly take down that picture, what kinda eyes are those? And Muki, this shouldn't be on the front page, IMO. There is no iota of link between the pic and Rita.

The Government is to blame. The best teachers are off to where the grass is greener, the available ones need as much knowledge as the kids they teach.

I can see the car used for the bombing in one of the locations in the pix above. The chasis number and probably the engine number of that car should be used to get a good clue towards arresting the perpetrators.
Who are you talking to? grin grin

It will be interesting to see how a Nigerian Presidency that does not have the decency to either accept or ignore their loss in a PDP online poll, a virtual election; can now lecture Laurent Gbagbo on how to accept defeat in a REAL election.
Dumb basis; dumb arguement.
