FOOTSOLDIER2:


So since we have gas in abundance and we can supply light to other neighboring countries, why can we supply ourselves?

Yes we have gas in abundance and that’s why we are currently building a gas pipeline to Europe to sell to them.

FOOTSOLDIER2:
The fattest lie ever told is that Nigeria supplies Ghana and Benin Rebuplic light. When in itself it doesn't even enough capacity to serve itself

Partially true and false.

1. Nigeria does not supply Ghana electricity but we supply Ghana gas for its turbines.

2. Togo and Benin have a joint electrical grid, and they buy electricity from Ghana and Nigeria to meet its need. Benin was working on its own independent power plant sometime ago, not sure if they completed it or not.

3. Yes, Nigeria also supply electricity to Niger.

Pidgin words and expressions have tribal origins. Guy I hate pointless argument.
Pidgin Words like wahala, wayo, etc are Hausa. People who use it don't even know

You’re the one who’s arguing pointless here… read my comment again where I said broken English have local or tribal content to it. How’s that an arguement when you’re agreeing to it??

I’m assuming that you’re in the UK, but Tim Hortons is a Canadian brand with franchises in many countries including the Middle East.

agabusta:


With due respect, this is not making sense compared to the former submission you responded to.

How can you say "Ashawo' is a broken English word?? This should only be suggested by people without any knowledge of english and the origin of the word.

Can any English word be broken into Ashawo? Even the English man will wonder in confusion how an unknown word is said to be broken English.

Is simply a broken yoruba word infused into the spoken broken English.

Read again where I said it was derived from Ashewo which is a Yoruba word.

Broke English by definition = A type of English that has some element of local content in it. Broken English varies by accent and local content. It doesn’t not have to be derived from an English word. Words like commot … has got nothing to do with English language nor is it linked to any local language… those are broken English words that got adopted and accepted. The Carribean patio is constructed exactly like this too.

To reaffirm, the word Ashewo is a Yoruba word, borrowed by broken English and used across West African countries that speak broken English. In parts, this is accelerated by the fact that most Afro beats originated from Lagos which happens to be a Yoruba state.

Ire o!

Ogene001:

That broken version was created through "Igbonization" according to Igbo grammatical rules

Broken English is spoken across West Africa. It’s not an Ibo only English nor was it created or popularized by Ibo.

iammo:



Broke boy go and hustle

My Nairaland DP was taking abroad at a $15 coffee shop

Something anyone in your lineage can't afford

You think na to dey hide to troll be life

Poor soul

Tim Horton is a fast food spot, their coffee is less than $2 😂😂😂.

Why you dey oppress the guy with Tim Horton 😂😂😂

Ogene001:

Big lie, Ashawo' is "Igbonization" of Ashewo'.
Same way "Agbero" is ignonized to Agboro in Igboland.
This is because those Yoruba words did not obey the rule called "Ndakorita Udaume" (agreement between vowels) in Igbo grammar. In that Igbo grammatical rule, there are two groups of vowels, the A-group and the E-group.
In every typical Igbo word, two vowels from different group can never be found in one word unless the word is a combination of two different words and can be separated into it's components parts. A non Igbo word that disobey this rule, igbos pronounce it with a replacement of the wrong vowel.
Now, is Agbero, also called Agboro in pidgin Nationwide?

Agbero is a different word. I did not generalize “ALL” words. My comment was about the word “Ashewo” and Ashawo being a broken word not Ibo.

Ogene001:

Some borrow a word they have before and after sometimes the borrowed word become more popular. I'm not applying it to Ife/Benin wahala oo
For example. In Igbo language
Prostitute = Akwuna
But yoruba word Ashewo which is pronounce as Ashawo in igbo accent is more popular. Even Flavor's song "Ashawo' was a hit

I disagree sir!

While Ashewo is Yoruba word.
Ashawo is a broken English word, that was borrowed from Ashewo.

Ibos choose that word from the broken side of things. Yes broken English popularize Ashawo as the preferred word for prostitution. And broken English is not specific to Ibos, it’s spoken across west Africa. Even my Liberian and Sierra Leon friends use Ashawo without knowing its origin but know that it means prostitute.

Ire o!

The change begins with you OP. Start by accepting and obeying the rule of law, and stop wishing the break down of law and order because a politicain did not win an election.

Obidientsgirl:
A Nigerian national living in Pretoria, South Africa was shot dead at Laudium lastnight 24/11/2023 in an apparent hit. Reports gathered says it could be drug related.

Why are you covering their names? Are you one of their sympathizers? Facebook is a public space, they want the world to know and read it anyways, so why hiding their name?

Bobloco:

“Mr. President promised that very soon the current exorbitant prices of the Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) popularly known as petrol would be “greatly reduced,” he added.

Petrol pump price was #187/litre when Tinubu came in, today it sells at almost #700/litre. if paraventure it reduced to #500/litre can that be described as "greatly reduced" The answer is an emphatic No!

The real "greatly reduced" Nigerians are expecting is below #200/litre or better still take it to the price where he met it which is #187/litre

Anything other than the above, Professor Garba Sharubutu, who is claiming to be speaking on behalf of Tinubu might actually be speaking for himself

Let’s be realistic, you know it is impossible for the price to reduce to 200/liter with no subsidy

If some sort of subsidy is not coming back then forget about that 200/liter.

Now. Why would i be playing?

I ain't playing dude! Have you never heard or read about anything like that before? It is no biggie,happens always

6 kids with 6 women don always happen.

Calitoscassius:
I have being married twice and divorced twice, all my fault apparently, because i kept sleeping around with other women while married, clearly marriage is not for me, now i am still single. I have 6 kids from 6 different women, i am fine and happy with that.

You playing right ?

jeromestarks:

You can see that you're not ready to love.

Love looks st.upid but it is the greatest.

Imagine the sin we have committed in the sight of God but He still sent His son to die for us.

Even if you're not a Christian, you know that God loves you even with all the sins you have committed. Even when you go against His will, He still loves you.
You fornication, but He did not strike you down with thunder nor did he abandon you.
That is LOVE.

What has love got to do with a cheating spouse ? If it’s not working with one’s sanity na to comot na

jeromestarks:

You won't marry a jobless girl naaa.
Once she's jobless or possesses entitlement mentality, avoid her.

However, many girls are not jobless anymore. The serious ones have something doing too.

Again, you don't have excuse my child. You can marry. Do it!

Unfortunately a large percentage of ladies these days have these mentalities, they are bringing their body to the table and they are the table.

godgrace777:
With all the things i dey see and hear from social media i no even sure i go marry in the next 10 to 15yrs coming self

Nicepoker:
My 2 married friends complains about their wives too much. I don't want to end up like them.

Hahah this fear too. 90% of them complain about how miserable life has been for both, this applies to the men and women.

marlow1962:
I'm not interested cus I'm not ready for the bullshits that comes with it. And beside you hardly see a marriageable woman now, prostitution has taken over, even married women are not left out.
I just want to have babies and live my bachelor's life wholesomely.

Finding the marriageable woman is harder this days. I agree!

GasAndOilTheory:
Assembly.. They assemble the cars here. It's not as if they manufacture it

That’s kinda ignorant to say though. Can you mention one car manufacturer in the world that does not import parts from other suppliers or countries as input to their car.

As long as they designed, and assembled it… it’s considered manufactured. Proforce, Innoson, Nord are the only Nigerian makers.

Peugeot are designed and all assembly part comes from their headquarters in France. So they only assemble in Nigeria.

Jac and Geely are Chinese brands that does same thing, assemble in Nigeria.

But then, assembling here does make the cars cheaper, create jobs, more tax money… at the end of the day it’s all good news for us. Even we produce just car seat, it’s a progress for us.

That aircraft is 24 years old scrap that is allowed to be flying in Nigeria.

Be calming down!

A 24yrs old plane is not a scrap as long as it’s maintained. All major airlines across the world keep planes of that age.

Also, Overshooting run way is not the planes fault either.

immortalcrown:
When will all these deals benefit the Nigerian masses? The more deals he gets, the harder the Nigerian economy. So, what does Nigeria gain from his expansion?

So he should close shop ?

And will dangote be running the day to day on his own?

Stoplying:

Google is not your friend, you can find all sorts of rubbish on Google, it won't replace logic and education.
It is a propaganda talking point which claims Ukraine had nuclear weapons and gave them away voluntarily. In reality, the USSR had nuclear weapons stationed all over the USSR (of which Ukraine was a sub-territory), when the USSR broke up, the Russian federation inherited all of the USSR's nukes along with the UN council permanent sit of the USSR. All the nukes of the USSR spread across the USSR, went to Russia which inherited them from the USSR. End of story.
Education and logic are your friends, unlike Google.

Over sabi dey worry you lmao 🤣 it’s a well documented history. Google is just a search engine just FYi

Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and other countries inherited nuclear weapons. US and Russia approach them to surrender it. Besides, the weapons were useless for them because the control centers are exclusively in Russia. So they either surrender and dismantle or have to build their own control centers, but they all were broke after the breakup, even US paid them aids some countries to dismantle it.

Your opinion cannot change history and facts sir, this is well documented history.

Stoplying:

I think you are wrong mate. Those nuclear weapons being located in Ukraine before the break up of the USSR doesn't equate to Ukraine inheriting them, and as proof, they were handed back to the Russian federation which actually inherited all the USSR nukes from every corner of the USSR, not just Ukraine.

Be ware of the propaganda which tends to claim Ukraine used to have nukes. That is just a deformation of facts. As of yet, the only country which ever gave up nukes is Southafrica.

No you’re wrong. Ukraine inherited those bombs and gave it up voluntarily. Google is your friend sir.

Who sells a yatcht for credit? Wetin Tinubu give you chop wey you dey defend blindly?

Stop displaying your ignorance, where in the world does a federal government ever pay in advance??

Even US federal government pay at a certain date. Tinubu is the beginning and the end of your frustration I get it sha.

Chicagograduate:
Why did Tinubu signed a 5b Naira for a yatcht that has already been paid for by last admission and not went through a legislative screening even though we know the senate is a rubber-stamp to the president?This is criminal.

Bought but not yet paid for. Who paid for it before?
It was delivered before Tinubu too.

Sundaland:
The Chief Whip of the Nigerian Senate, Ali Ndume, confirmed last week that the controversial N5 billion Presidential yacht was purchased on credit and already delivered. See the link below for more

The fanciful yacht has already started accruing interest to be settled with income from various sources, including additional loans and from poverty-stricken tax payers.

A presidential yacht has a helipad, garden, spa, cinema, library, personal museum, sports centre, pools, suites and hospital.

Take a look at the luxury floating toy.

Tinubu is just a typical black man, how can he fight corruption and block all the leakages with such mentality

Tinubu seem to be your problem but unfortunately last administration bought it.
