U are such an arrogant lady. U think because u are in the UK English is the only language that exists.

I am igbo, I only speak English which is not my mother tongue because of the need to communicate. I musnt be perfect.

It will be completely foolish of me to mock u because you try speaking Igbo and got some words wrong. Should I say u are uneducated becasue u can't speak Igbo?
Abeg park well. We know the game u are playing. When u are held to the wall with no where to go, u bring in the English thingy, a facking foreign language that is not ours, to distract us from the topic at hand.

Accept it. It's wrong for you to be glad your father died for any reason as long as the man didn't have any bad intention for u while he was alive.

Who is "holding" me up against a wall? You? Mr hopefullandlord? Who?

If you wish to make yourself happy by assuming you are me so wish to have "regrets" on my behalf then have a blast.

Your comment has been seen, yet discarded. Thank you.

hopefulLandlord:
I and Frank317 already showed you we don't have to live your life to see the way you referenced your Father's death in that statement is not good unless you have knowledge on how your life would've turned out with him

damn! this is becoming nauseating

You did not live my life yet you feel you hold the right to know why I said what I said yeah?

Rephrase it for me and you still cannot. Suggestions are not what I asked for.

You are becoming cringeworthy.

lepasharon:
Cos again I'm not writing a cover letter. I'm only talking to anonymous folks on an online forum therefore my English expression doesn't count against me, Im not out here to impress. Why is that hard to fathom?

Besides do all English ppl speak good English?

So your excuse is to align with those who like you do not speak or type proper English? You even know you do not type English correctly which says a lot about when you do speak it.

Stop using another person's erroneous ways to justify yours. Accept correction and better yourself.

Crass isn't class.

frank317:
Your father's death was a sad event that happened in ur life. His death should never be appreciated because of the time you left for UK. If he was alive, life for you now could have been worst or better. Stop assuming you know all possible outcomes that would have occurred in ur life just because u now believe in a Jewish fairy tale.
It's absolutely disrespectful to your dad for you to be glad he died at the time he died so that you could go to UK.
Thinking so makes u no different from people who kill their parents to have a better life either by rituals or selling off their properties.
Let me ask you, given what u know now, would u kill your dad so that u can go to the uk if the past could repeat itself? If your answer is no then u should never be glad he died at the time he died.
But u might not know it, Ur statement above already implies your answer is an affirmative yes, either u or ur God could have killed Ur dad over again so that u can go to the uk.

Kindly read my banter with Mr hopefullandlord. I don't wish to expend a perfectly good time with a fresh response to you.

hopefulLandlord:
and I already showed I don't need to live your life to see that that sentence could've been presented in a better way, that you can't doesn't mean it can't, take a look at my posts and you'll see I've already shown you a way it could've been done

I did, stop denying I did to make yourself happy

You seem not to see my point. You can only correct me if you actually lived my life. If you didn't then why and how would you assume you hold corrections for me when I expressed myself in sync with my life's experiences.

You simply want to make yourself happy. So let your correction stay within you and make YOU happy alright?

lepasharon:
Why don't you be an English teacher

Why do you not express good English as someone allegedly born here?

hopefulLandlord:
I can't spoonfeed you

if you still can't see it from my posts to you so far...........

This was why I asked if you lived my life. You would only be able to rephrase it if you did.

Since you didn't then stop trying to correct me in order to make yourself happy.

lepasharon:
You don't say? Teacher

By the way, in the context of my comment and your response the phrase "You don't say" is an expression of surprise so always ends with an exclamation (!) and not a question mark (?).

Stay classy.

hopefulLandlord:
how about you not being glad your father died? how about leaving his death out of whatever makes you glad?

I didn't ask for suggestions. I asked that you rephrase based on the parameters I gave.

lepasharon:
You don't say? Teacher

Oh I do say! You see " trash" is easily identifiable via it's stench. Likewise a well seasoned wholesome meal is also identified via it's aroma.

Stench and aroma are both expressive yet distinct.

lepasharon:
Oh you don't say?

Learn to use your noggin Missy. Quality "never" hides behind "informality ".

hopefulLandlord:
I don't have to live your life to see that you could've phrased it better because even you don't know for sure how your life would've turned out if your dad didn't die so being ever so glad that a tragic thing happened which led to your becoming who you are today makes a sum total of zero sense cuz you have nothing to compare; who knows if you would've been a better person? maybe become someone that's in a position to save even more lives? maybe his being alive may have triggered experiences that might've led to you finding permanent cure to AIDS, cancer or even found a working solution to world hunger?

without knowing for sure how your life would've turned out WITH your dad it makes no sense to be ever so glad that your life turned out this way WITHOUT him especially when the latter is has a tragedy linked to it

Simply help me rephrase using the already given parameters.

lepasharon:
Yes I type 'crappy' English cos I'm not writing a cover letter

Quality is expressed "always " by quality people.

lepasharon:
Born here

Yet you type crappy English? If wishes were horses indeed....

For someone allegedly born in the UK I feel no British vibes with you either. "Absolutely no British Lexicon". Sounds familiar right?

lepasharon:
So ur myopic mind cannot fathom that there are thousands of Nigerians that were born in the UK? Some of whom have never visited Africa. There are also thousands in Nigeria who are British citizens and have never left Africa either?

I don't believe in fate sorry

So which category do you fit in?

hopefulLandlord:
what is your question, "Such as?" could you male your question clearer?

You said there could have been a better way I put my words so I asked you to help me rephrase with reference to my life and experiences just as if you lived my life and and all.

Did you live my life?

hopefulLandlord:
check my post on the previous page https://www.nairaland.com/3894180/all-things-work-together-good/12#58090798

No need for that. Simply answer my question right here.

lepasharon:
Grasping at straws.

Why did God have to kill off ur dad so you could achieve?

You are drowning little girl! Let me use your kind of "street smarts" in an actually intelligent way to talk some sense Into you.

"why did you leave Nigeria when you did and drift over to the UK? Did an opportunity present itself you just couldn't miss?

Do you know what TIMING is all about? If we were to arrange a series of future events which were meant to happen at a specific time based on the timing of the catalyst would you say the same future event would repeat itself in the same way and pattern if the TIMING was say a day off?

hopefulLandlord:
I wonder how emphasising "TIMING" makes it any less ridiculous, I think I get what she's trying to say with that "ever so glad" post I'm just sure it should've been presented in a much better way

Such as?

lepasharon:
God couldn't find a better way for you to have a better life? Your dad had to die for that?

And pls ur attempts at disses are just weak so just stop. I'm cringing

Again you failed to apply some of your "street smarts ". I was not dissing you Missy but simply stating an obvious fact.

Think less about "arses" and you would be better for it.

lepasharon:
Ur welcome

These were my exact words, "Strange as it may sound but I am ever so glad my dad died WHEN he did regardless of how he did. If he did not then I would not have come here when I did and I would not have gone through all I did and ended up here based on decisions triggered by some of my experiences"

My statement was by no means celebratory but was simply an acknowledgement of TIMING. Kindly read comments with a pinch of understanding. If you thought less about "arses" you just might have had some cerebral space left to understand my comment.

Student125:
The same reason I lost my respect for kingebuka, all they want to-do is win argument. they don't want to accept defeat even when the evidence is so glaring.
Do u need holy spirit to interpret "I am ever so glad my dad died when he did regardless of how he did" just like the Bible.
@felixmor, are u truly Christ-like( a Christian).

These were my exact words, "Strange as it may sound but I am ever so glad my dad died WHEN he did regardless of how he did. If he did not then I would not have come here when I did and I would not have gone through all I did and ended up here based on decisions triggered by some of my experiences"

My statement was by no means celebratory but was simply an acknowledgement of TIMING. Kindly read comments with a pinch of understanding sir. Thanks and God bless

frank317:
Imagine, she is happy she lost her father at a young age because she eventually became a common paramedic.

I can gladly lost half of what I have acheived back just to have my mum or my late ex back to life.

But what do u expect from deluded Yahweh worshippers?

Ishilove:
Let me rephrase it:

"You can take your useless and unsolicited observations and shove it up your grimy arse. I don't give a flying fvck about your opinions. Fvck off and stay fvcked off"

That's the naughty version yes but I would rather say it lady-like and in a way that wouldn't outrightly rub the wrong way.

Be good alright? Please?

Ishilove:
Spacetacular, I haven't laughed this hard in quite a while. You definitely are not one that can be cyberbullied

Oh I can play possum. But that would be hypocrisy so why beating about the bush?

bennyann:
I am fed up with this thread already. I'm off.

Me too. This is the second time on this site I am seeing so many hate-filled people congregate in one place.

HardMirror:
I am beginning to see why many believe you are a liar. keep talking. the more you say the more your true person is revealed. you don't Seem so bright anyway. talk so much like a regular portharcourt girl. hmmm

And you probably "seem" brighter than I am. I never asked for your opinion or assessment did I? All my life I have always been outspoken and you thought you would see a quiet little lady In me?

I never asked for your opinion sir so you can retract it whenever you are ready to and pass it on to those who have need of it. I certainly don't!

Ishilove:
Madam, you sef ehn. One woman army

I am just saying it as it is. You don't give free access to such sensitive places as the internet to psychopathic people. In the long run it ruins a countries public image plus breeds a special class of serial killers who ply their trade online rather than on the streets.

lepasharon:
You wanna play dumb or you forgot NL has records?

As you can see I am having a healthier more fulfilling discourse with sober and sane people already. I am done with you already. My "arse" has moved along.

Ishilove:
Right on!! These set of psychosomatic people have access to the internet and what you are seeing on your thread is an example of the fall out

Imagine, a testimony thread has been turned into a battleground. Does that seem 'normal'?

So mentally ill people are allowed to have access to the internet in Nigeria without monitoring or restrictions?

I was shocked when I came on earlier and saw how a topic I left in a calm state turned to a war zone real quick. Still shocking to me. Something isn't right actually.

Not everyone deserves the internet.

Ishilove:
Unfortunately true. Studies have shown that a whopping 20 million Nigerians have mental illness and other psychological issues. Unconfirmed reports say a vast majority populate Nairaland

"unconfirmed reports ". I know you are teasing but let me play along. So I just may have been having a banter with a small group out of this 20million psychosomatic people right?

Ishilove:
Thankfully, NO! You don't want to chat with them offline because some of them will likely screenmunch your chats and post it online and say you were coming on to them.

It is unfortunate that we don't take mental health issues seriously in Nigeria. If we did, more than half the folks you see breathing fire here will be undergoing therapy.

Yeah I am told that mentally ill people roam the streets freely there. Quite sad really.
