Behind Bar and behind Bars. What's the difference in your grammatical estimation?

Waiting!
Behind bar is not correct. "Behind bars" is a phrase, it's an idiomatic expression, it is not plural to "behind bar" that you wrote there. Actually, the phrase 'behind bar' does not exist. Accept the correction and move on.

IgboSomalia:
What is hate? I said the fact, you're calling it hate. I'm not responsible for your persecution complex.

Saka and Rashford were blamed for England's loss in Euro 2020 finals. Harry Kane who lost a penalty wasn't blamed, instead they focused on the black players. Those are the ingrates you want Lookman to represent.

England threw tantrums when Lookman switched to Nigeria. They wanted to useless him and spit him out like Tammy Abraham but he was smarter than them. Today, mention a striker in the English team better than Lookman.
You didn't remind him of a certain John Fashanu who shunned Nigeria because he thought we would never qualify for world cup (Nigeria had never qualified for world cup by the way). He played all qualifiers for England only to be dumped after they qualified, he didn't make the world cup squad. Ironically Super Eagles qualified for the world cup for the first time in USA 94, and that squad remains the best of Nigeria to date, coming 4th in FIFA ranking.

John Fashanu later turned himself to an advocate advising all young Nigeria players in England to choose Nigeria over England.

Nice pick. Have you read the "Key to Rebecca" by Ken follet? It was also adapted into a movie.
Yeah, another masterpiece. Never watched the movie though. Now that you mentioned it I think I will check it out. Just that it's difficult for me to watch those old movies adapted from books. I will still check it out though. But there is this thing about "Pillars of the Earth" that stands it out for me.

I forgot to mention "nothing lasts forever" by Sidney Sheldon, It should be at the top of the shelf too.

Zayttoven:
Sometimes I wonder how I fell in love with reading novels. I presume it was out of sheer curiosity. Although I no longer read novels, I can't help but reminisce on the good ol' days.

I've read a lot of novels from authors such as Dante Alighieri, Leo Tolstoy, George R.R. Martin, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Stephen King, Dan Brown, Agatha Christie, J.K. Rowling, Mario Puzo, Robert Ludlum, J.R.R. Tolkien, Sidney Sheldon, George Orwell, Tom Clancy, James Patterson and our very own Chinua Achebe just to mention a few.

My personal favourite would be Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky.

What's yours?
Difficult to pick out
A few of James Hardly Chase like "Who wants to stay alive?", The four Mark Girland series, etc.
A few from Jeffery Archer, Sidney Sheldon, Robert Ludlum, etc.

But if you push me to pick one by force, I will go for "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follet

A notable mention is this Yoruba Classic "Atoto Arere" By Oladejo Okediji

HealthRe: Prince Ovwiomodiowho Accuses R-Jolad Hospital In Death Of Pregnant Wife, Son by soojar(m): 6:49am On Jun 06, 2024
You may have points with your submission but RJolad has history of medical negligence, 'no be today'. That's why it is important to do due diligence when choosing a private hospital and not relying on fine building or one person's bias or opinion. I can relate with this because back then when I was in Lagos I almost lost someone to this same kind of negligence, especially from the junior doctors who are always the ones on the ground. Our saving grace then was the man himself just happened to by chance be around that time before he started shouting and everybody started running helter-skelter and by God's grace the woman's life and the baby were saved. But despite that the agony the woman went through for the next 3 months of delivery can not really be described as a result of the earlier negligence.

It was after that incident I started hearing other stories. This incident happened almost 10 years ago but to date, you will continue to hear one story or the other about them. People go to quack doctors and deliver safely, even at home unaided but when you go to a hospital that promises premium care, then you expect premium care at all costs because you are paying for the premium, not general care.


seborrhic:
Unfortunate series of events,but what I find troubling and suspicious in his narrative of events is this:if your wife was not contracting after rupture of the membranes,what the hospital did was what any other standard facility would do,they started with cytotec,at the lowest dose recommended,repeated when there was still no noticeable contraction,then scaled up to oxytocin.
The one issue I found with the Hospital management is that they would have exhausted the full 4 dose regimen of cytotec before starting with oxytocin.
The problem with dealing with men like this that feel they know it all from what they read is that you must play everything by the book,if not they would use one issue as being the cause of a mishap.
All these things he mentioned, paediatrician being present,physician,using infusion pump,partograph,CTG monitor,etc,even in advanced countries they are not as it's made out to be where all these personnel and instruments would be available.
I bet if he had been told from the onset that his wife needed to be sectioned,he would have blatantly refused and told them to exhaust every other means.
But here he is finding fault with every step taken.
It's sad he has lost both wife and child,but finding fault with every step is just ridiculous.
His wife came by 11am with no issues,was he expecting the consultant to be on ground monitoring an expected uneventful labour?
Let the hospital say it's own side of the story.
Mishaps happen all over the world and there is no where every case is done by the book.
It's sad and may God grant him the fortitude to bear the loss.

Again
Lagos is the smallest state in terms of landmass with the largest resouces and one time FCT
Again the discussion is far above your level

You should actually be comparing Ondo and anambra and not Lagos

Good evening again
In case you have issues with English language comprehension, let me list it out for you.

1. No one is doing comparison with your unknown state (even though healthy rivalry among states will lead to National development)

2. The developments you are seeing in the last 20 years in Lagos has nothing to do with it being FCT at one time or the other. It rather has to do with vision of some people and they followed it up till date and still continuing.

3. Let us leave out IGR, what do the other governors do with their monthly allocation? (to buy dollars and resell to BDCs?) or what? If you can't hold them accountable to the allocation they are collecting, how will you hold them accountable if they are getting the kind of IGR of Lagos.

4. Lagos is not responsible for the misery of your state and her gullible citizens. Whether you are from Osun, Imo or Zamfara, critisize your governors doing nothing and leave Lagos state alone, let her continue her development to the envy of others.

They say "if you can not beat them, join them" NOT "if you cannot beat them, commit su1cide"

If you still have difficulty with any of the above, feel free to ask for explanation, I will oblige you.

OredoPikin:
This discussion is beyond you

State can't be lacking good roads and be doing rail lines
At the stage Lagos is, rail lines isn't an achievement
Every other basic things has been sent up for them by it been an FCT
For you to be now using it to compare other states starting from scratch, it shows the discussion is far above your brain
And the discussion is below you I guess?

How many roads or the road network do you want to put in Lagos that can serve the population of Lagos compared with the land mass of the state (maybe you are right, maybe the discussion is beyond you).

Rail line is not an achievement for a place like Lagos but kerosene distribution is an achievement maybe? Do you know the number of people the Blue Line rail alone has assisted in reducing the number of hours they spend on road commuting to work and back? Many don't take their cars to work again, reducing fuel consumption, reducing the number of cars on the road, increasing productivity, etc. Read up on something called the 'multiplier effect'

You are not making sense in your third paragraph. Speak in the language an average person can understand.

Nobody is comparing, even though healthy rivalry among states leads to greater developments. Challenge your governors to create a developmental vision and start implementing it. Stop hating for no reason. Lagos is not the cause of your state governor's incompetence and the citizens' 'short-sightedness'

OredoPikin:
the capital of NIGERIA was moved from 1991, prior to that, those governors can be equated to be like FCT minister today. the head of states still controlled everything
alot of development works were carried out collectively
you can not attribute the development of Abuja to just any of the FCT ministers, that is how Lagos were then

i know u are a kid, so i forgive ur ignorance.
Is it the Federal capital that now signed this rail project and completed it?

Sometimes one tends to want to believe those who say some of you guys just don't like any good news coming out of Lagos.

What is stopping other states from developing based on the level of their allocations or/and IGR? If this governor refused to follow the road map he met on the ground and decided to steal every money coming into the state like most of those governors do what would anybody do about that? Instead of you guys using such projects like this to challenge your state governors whether you are from Anambra or Ondo or Cross River, you kept saying former capital. Is it former capital that conceived the idea of BRT, The rail network, the LFT zone, etc.

Challenge your governors to design short, medium and long-term plans and start working towards it, Most of Lagos state projects are public, private partnership driven. why are other governors or stakeholders in those states lazy or fail to hold their leaders accountable? Let successive administrations continue from where the previous ones stopped. Even if they are stealing money along the way, as long as development is going on there will be minimal outcry.

In summary, Lagos is doing relatively well today not because it was capital territory, all these new developments aforementioned were conceived post-FCT by someone with a vision, and making sure each governor coming after him follows the template.
