Floreat brothers. A thread has been long overdue to be honest.

'06, Alpha, Panes' house boy checking in here. Miss the good old school.

nastyd:
Alpha boi bro...Day

U?

It is a lie!!! I was in Alpha as well. Jeez, it's indeed a small world.

modath:
In every place that sanity reigns, the "eminent"?? lawyers would have prevailed on saraki to resign!!!

I'm not holding brief for Umar but which innocent person makes so many excursions to different courts in order to stall a case in which the charges are mere "persecution"/ "witch hunting"?

Panama Papers full expose is in May, whatever that throws up will show us up for who we are as a nation!

I think your emotional investment in the matter is blinding your path of reason. The guy you quoted didn't say he didn't want Saraki gone, but the manner in which the trial is going is very unusual. Betrays what the law stands for. Yes, it may be Saraki today, and you cheer Umar for whatever 'political' reason, and it may be you tomorrow. I hope you cheer the judge for his obvious bias as well.

May his soul rest in peace. Music has lost some legends recently, it's depressing.

nastyd:
Likewise bro..'06

Great. Which arm? Were you a boarder or a day student?

PRISTINEMUSCLES:
Floreat Collegium shall our motto be. Let us shout it boldly for her sons are we.

I don dey forget our anthem.

Nurtured in our classrooms in our early youth

Where we learn to cherish chivalry and truth.

nastyd:
Floreat boyz!

Any Old boy here?

Old boy here...finished in '06. You?

Floreat brother.

May his soul rest in peace. Floreat!!!

If the young generation cannot interpret a simple statement correctly, we should be worried about our future. How does she saying 'I paid every inch of the way' mean she paid for votes?

If you all claim to be educated, then I question the quality of your education.

If this arrangement pulls through, this may just be the 1st step to stopping our politics from being money driven. Fingers crossed though.

I'm coming.

Okay? I think we should seriously consider checking Fayose's mental health. This is the height.

This just gave me goose bumps. Wish we'd put more of these things in museums.

When I got this joke it wasn't really funny to me but I actually found myself laughing. Laugh out Loud. I was tempted to abbreviate my words but suddenly yesterday's post "Reasons Why You Should Stop Writing In Abbreviations" by Surfboard, Rang in my head, that was a nice one bro.

Aaawwwww, thanks a lot ma'am. Glad you enjoyed it.

The tautology in the topic though. Op, 'Buhari's approval rating crashes' works just fine.

Not surprised his approval ratings have crashed, the hardship is affecting everyone and people are sitting up and taking notice. Leadership is tough, not to talk of being a leader in Nigeria...

Eeroh95:
Jesus thank you op


Naso wan idiot girl wey my friend say make I show her motor pack...when I ask the mumu where she dey go she was like

I am going to IB. (Ibadan)

And I was like go to that MP (Motor park)without pointing to any direction

Na she con confuse

This really made me laugh out loud.

Even though you may be right in your own ways, avoiding it may not help because it has its own importance as well. Just imagine yourself receiving lectures, a Secretary or a journalist, how will you avoid short forms/abbreviations without missing some vital points? You can't avoid them. I am a teacher and I do teach my students short forms/abbreviations; their importance and implications.

Although you have a point, I'd disagree with you depending on the level of students you teach. If you're teaching primary or secondary school students, they should be spelling and not being taught abbreviations. At that stage, it's easier to learn and grow into the habit of spelling words correctly. Language is best taught that way.

When they grow older, they won't even need to use abbreviations, and their spoken and written english will be better.

modath:
Wht do u xpct m 2 say abt dis ur aticul now?

Haha, already seen what you did.

jojo1man:
When ever someone close to me writes in abriviation, I reply him or her that I don't have a dictionary for abriviation and that it will. Be better next time to spell the word in full so that I can understand.most of them start writing properly after that

I've had that problem a lot while chatting and more often than not, it creates a communication gap between whoever is on the other end and me.

I just hope more people wean themselves of the need to abbreviate.

falconey:


no market?? hmmmm customers don scarce .




"guys, pls stop patronising foreign ladies cos what you are looking for in America, Brazil, spain, Ethiopia"

why would you include Ethiopia ? na african country na.
who wan patronize their chicks?





"Nigeria ladies are the most beautiful, independent, supportive, intelligent and respectful women in the world"

where did you get this from? self proclamation crap!!!

Ethiopian women are really beautiful. If I'm asked to pick a bride from an African country outside Nigeria, Ethipia would top my list.

Y'all should quit judging the op abeg, although I believe she should have kept it private at this stage.

Wish you op and her date the very best. Hope you both find what you're looking for.

Wish you the very best on this quest of yours.

Two thousand pounds or naira? Are you joking or you're serious?

Lalasticlala come and warn all these space bookers o

It is common among the youth of today to type in abbreviations. On all form of social media and online fora, down to applications for chatting, we are getting further immersed in this 21st century phenomenon. What are its gains? I don't see any. Disadvantages? I'll list a few.

1. It affects our spelling. At the beginning, you think you have it under control, in fact you do. However, like all bad habits, it creeps up on you and before you know it, you can't spell as well as you used to. You then spell a word like 'enough' as 'enuf' and think it's right.

2. You get so used to abbreviating, you start to include in official correspondence. This goes from students in examinations to young job seekers in their applications. Heck, adults are not left out as some make these mistakes in business proposals. What this means in society is a situation like we have now where employers of labour are lamenting that Nigerian graduates are unemployable.

3. We may be setting a wrong trend for the next generation. It's all good, in fact, brilliant to be technologically savvy and all, but it shouldn't end there. We should teach those coming after us why they need to use technology the right way. One of the things they should be taught is how to spell. If we do, we'd be raising a generation positioned to make a positive impact in society. Our parents endeavoured that we be taught how to spell, so please let's help the younger generation achieve that too.

Feel free to add yours also. Thanks

This should provide an opportunity for Ukraine to align with Russia again, hopefully, for peace in the region.

Surprised Arseny, backed by the west, failed his nation. Anyway, it is what it is.
