Now you'all will say 'they asked us not to derail the thread',how do u define this one now?(arguing over a figure of speech on 4 pages) ehn! Anyway make e no be like say i no con3bute,the answer to that figure of speech is . . . . . . . . Google.com. U dey here dey argue whey me dey find money. Soft!

Samtolly4JESUS: Babaginda, Buhari and Atiku were once in an airplane. While on the Plane, Atiku started a conversation.

"I can throw one 100naira note down now and make 1 person happy" He gleefully said. Others agreed and laughed.

"I can also throw two 200naira down and make two people happy" Buhari said amidst laughter.

"I can also make 3 people haapy today by throwing 3 500note" Babaginda finalised and they all laughed hard.


While the Trio were merry-chatting, the Pilot of the train listened with rapt attention. Few minutes later, he blurted out "I can throw the 3 of you down now and make over 150Milloin people happy!


My Question is, what's this Pilot waiting for?

FelcoCom: Happy new day and merry weekend to u guys.........samueli i c u ooo...gud a.m

Nairalane: I was listening to the news today and i HEARD a name "Mrs Fayokun . . . . . . . . . ." put it diffently, Mrs ifá yo ikùn. What comes to my mind immediately is that Ifa is a professional drunkard with pot-belly, in the same vein with the name. So, Only God have GOOD AND MIGHTY NAMES for we His sons and daughters.
The fact that you are HERE today means that you ll be THERE tommorow. The difference btw Here & There is T which stands for Time. No matter the delay from the F.G and ASUU saga, trust God, you will be in school one day according to ur anticipations and overwhelming God's unending Grace. Most importantly, keep your sonship and daughtership to God. Happy weekend to you all. Sam, harris, miracy, tola, the chi(s), wealth, fynest, t.ice, and the host of great minds.

Tosdam: Yes fynestboy, a handy resources is here. Do u have mastery literature volume 3... Turn to page 12 n see the definition for Epigram..

Look out, this is wat i i ve here: Epigram: is a figure which involves both antithesis and paradox and is always pointed,concise, amusing, short, witty,emphatic and contains some proverbial wisdom, sometimes involving an apparent contradiction and used to express idea in a memorable and brief manner. E.G 1. The more you look, the less you see E.g 2, He who will save his life must first lose it. E.G 3. The child is the father of the man, which means that the child will take card of the father when the father is old and tired. E.G 4. He who laughs last, laughs best.


And this word you are seeing here is not only opposite but also contradictory.

If in an exam u have..
A. Oxymoron
B. Antithesis
C. Irony
D. Sarcasm

u go for B. Antithesis, because u have two opposite word in a sentence. Mostly question like this don't come with the option antithesis and epigram.

To quote me wrong turn to that page n check, let clarify things here....

Jodekss: [b]FELLAS, TRY AND READ THIS LATEST PIECE(POEM) OF MINE BEFORE GOING TO BED TO NAP. ONE LOVE MAKES US SUFFER TOGETHER AND ENJOY TOGETHER... ONE LOVE...

ONE LITTLE DOVE IN THE HANDS OF FEW AFRICAN CHILDREN.
http://www.poetfreak.com/text/246118/one-little-dove-in-the-hands-of-few-african-children.html
We all are one family
Aye just cos we were confabulated in the image of God
Now like how little children will treat a dying dove
One they came across during there usual playings

A wounded dove would appreciate corn and first aid first
But what do we all know?
Even the aged passers-by are afraid to hurt the orgasm of this few children
Absorbed with playing with a dove that has legions of mates to lead
Now and the morrow

They feed a wounded dove with sands, gutter water and too heavy palts at
Her back as if it were their dollies
I blame the children
I don't blame the children
Is this not the works of naivity or what?
But the aged saw them playing with this wounded dove
But why couldn't they correct them, treat her and let her gain independence?

O God I respect your works honestly!
African governments are helping us to die younger
Beyond your scheduled time for us
Or how should we define all these tell me?

Masses are quite quietly suffering here and there
Never was a true system of meritocracy
Strikes by social groups had covered the faith of us students
Graduated youth are
Dying again and again one by one
Bombings by Boko Haram apart
Even by trying to survive via robberys and now they got shot in the head
Interred of gory with all their glories
But what if they were employed or helped out?

In Nigeria again let me go straight
General election is what those jackasses are getting ready for
It was announced that they'd borrowed more sugar from IMF again
Fools, they said they want to use it to create jobs for youth
Nonesense talks, a beauteous lie in truthful disguise
The sugar is surely ment to rig another election
But youth are dovish yes but we'd grown and are crazily civilised
We won't mind dying to chase all you looters down to your late graves
You-oh you cultus old pigs, pea-brained policy formers.

Yes we were wounded by the grenades you threw in the mid-nights
Now we are hale though yet wounded
For the fate of our posterities alone
We shall fight till you allow this new generation take up the mantle of power.

Hence, we are no more little doves you little old children
Yes we are doves
But implanted in us all are big explosives
Play with our fates again and see your butts scattered
All o'er the streets where you'd sprayed our sure sugar for fun.[/b]

SATAN- ACROSTIC...
http://www.poetfreak.com/text/245577/satan-acrostic.html

So we'd been dating each other since a decade plus
After my much efforts telling her to please endure little more she
Tainted my white raiments with splashes of dirt in public places
And showed me the pictures of her current dater on her cell
Naughty me I should have dumped her in dirt when her needed me the most, f**k...

Naija done qualify already.. what do you guys have to say??

Jodekss: u mean am?

Jodekss: I could write or speak without making it look too prolix or too snarled to comprehend by anyone but my making my words filled with hard idiolects isn't intentional or cos am proud or trying to show off no, in fact, I at most times find it difficult to communicate with my nephews and nieces, when I speak to them, they wouldn't know what to say or what to reply to my complex sentences but would just say 'uh uncle, what did you just say, I would then old my head and break down my words to their level and it hurts too but not that shameful I must confess.'
It all started when am about to fully get absorbed with writings: Poems, quotes, verses, stories etc, so, I had to inculcate my brains to the system(reading lots of articles, dicos, novels, printed ones and the ones packed as mobile applications, just in the haunt for grammars and good english words) but could try and make my words sound normal at will for good if necessary...
Friend, have you ever had of a man called IGODOMIGODO?
