Sports › Re: Nigeria Team Wins Handball World Championship by Timijo(m): 8:17am On Jul 09, 2014
ewosk: Despite the inability of the more supported football team Super Eagles to bring glory to Nigeria, the handball counterpart just won
gold trophy this year’s
World Handball Championship in Gothenburg, Sweden . The handball teams comprising the male team (State House
Kings) and female team (State House Kings) from the State House
Sports Club had set out to Sweden on the approval of the
president to participate in the international competition involving
about 45 top countries in the world.
The team arrived the presidential villa on Monday
evening with the gold trophy.
The President said, while he, like
other Nigerians, had thought Nigeria would win the Gold Trophy
at the ongoing 2014 FIFA World Cup but painfully missed it, the
World Cup ironically came to the country by way of the gold
trophy won by the handball team in Sweden.

Sauce: Vanguard
kudos to them. As we no fit win leg ball we don win handball. Anoda tym e go b headball.

ferdimako: Y all these? I mentioned d context that d usage is in order. Some folks speak American English in Nigeria- it is not necessarily gonna and wanna, in my IELTS I almost got stuck...and I had to free myself with American English... I made 7/9. I prefer American pronunciations! Anti...semi
I am not trying to argue about the usage of english language. What am simply saying is that, it is wrong in Nigerian english. If the word ''advice'' is used as a verb in Nigerian english, it is wrong. The correct one is ''advise''. My correction is to help others who are confused about the usage of the two words.
Education › Re: National Open University Of Nigeria (NOUN) Students by Timijo(m): 4:23pm On Jul 08, 2014
ferdimako: American English allows 'advice' to be used as a verb. So it is correct under non-british scenes. Another is 'practice' and others.
Is American English allowed in our schools? Or do we speak American English officially? Can you use I wanna, lemme, gonna while writing an essay in Nigeria? The truth is that American English is not allowed in Nigerian schools. What we use is British English, and that is why textbooks, newspapers, magazines, course books and any other books are all written with British English. We are also encouraged to speak Standard British English. If you listen to some of our local newscasters and movies stars, you will find out that they speak standard British English.
Thanks.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Frank Onyeachonam, Yahoo Boy Jailed In London by Timijo(m): 4:10pm On Jul 04, 2014
[quote author=chuchu_o]Frank Onyeachonam, 38, of Canning Town, east London, ran the UK-end of a global scam that was orchestrated from his native Nigeria.

The Old Bailey heard how he extracted up to £600,000 from pensioners to fund a luxurious lifestyle.

He was jailed for eight years for charges of conspiracy to defraud.

The court heard how he deliberately targeted pensioners because they were potentially vulnerable to handover their life savings.


The conman had the nickname "Fizzy" because of all the champagne he drank

Proceeds from his con enabled Onyeachonam to buy a luxury flat in Canary Wharf with a view of The O2
The scam - known as an "advance fee" fraud - saw Onyeachonam send victims emails claiming they had won millions of pounds on a non-existent Australian lottery. He asked them to send him money so he could release their winnings.

Afterwards, the victims would then become hooked on the scam and made extra payments, which forced several victims to come out of retirement in order to pay back high-interest loans they had taken out to pay him.

Fourteen victims, mainly from the US but one from Britain, were found to have lost a total of about £900,000.


Money was found in his flat, described by police as an 'Aladdin's cave'
Emails showed victims pleaded with Onyeachonam to send them money to pay for healthcare, while some died before he could be brought to justice.

Some of those exploited by Onyeachonam were also investigated themselves after they were used as "pawns" to launder the proceeds of the fraud by sending on money from other victims or setting up business accounts.

When his luxury flat in Canary Wharf was raided, police discovered an "Aladdin's cave" of evidence, which included notebooks containing the names, addresses and cash tallies relating to 406 people.

If all of those in the notebooks suffered losses, the fraud is likely to have run to at least £5m and possibly as high as £30m.

Co-defendants Lawrencia Emenyonu, 38, and Bernard Armah, 51, both of Wood Green, north London, were found guilty of money laundering, and were jailed for 18 months and eight months respectively.

Onyeachonam was seen as the key figure in the UK but police suspect a criminal network was in place in several countries around the world.

Authorities found an alleged co-conspirator abroad had an email containing the details of more than 100,000 potential victims.

The alleged mastermind or "chairman" of the network is based in Nigerian capital Lagos and is currently under investigation by authorities there.
Our capital is Abuja not Lagos.

@op you are correct, God has helped me to cultivate all the habits and above.
Another thing is that, don't be at the receiving side but always be at the giving side. Be kind to everyone, respect everyone, remember that respect begats respect. Have a self control over your anger, don't get loose and fight, be friendly to everybody.

Politics › Re: Bomb Explosion In Kaduna by Timijo(m): 11:01pm On Jul 01, 2014
Adrenaline123: A bomb explosion has just hit a location in Kaduna town.
The explosion has shattered many of the plate glass windows of some of the business premises surrounding the area where the explosion occurred.
According to a senior security official, the explosion occurred around the Asikolaye/Bakin Ruwa area along the Kaduna western bypass.
Details of fatalities, casualties and other damage in the area are sketchy at this moment.
Details on this latest attack will appear later.

Romance › Re: Woman Arrested For Calling Her Ex-boyfriend 77,000 Times In A Week by Timijo(m): 4:07pm On Jul 01, 2014
moneybag100: June 27th, 2014
Albuquerque| A New Mexico woman was finally arrested this morning by officers of the Albuquerque Police Department in what could be the most extreme case of stalking ever recorded in the history of the country. The 28-year old woman allegedly not only called her ex-lover a formidable 77 639 times in a week, but also sent him 1937 emails, 41 229 text messages, 217 sung messages and 647 letters in the same period.

Linda Murphy, who has an history of obsessive compulsive behavior, would have badly taken her breakup with William Ryans, with whom she had had a relationship for three weeks. She is accused of using up to three phones at once to call him, 24 hours a day, on his cell phone, home number and at work. The woman would have ingested large quantities of energy drinks and amphetamines to remain awake and would have gone sleepless for a week, calling her ex nonstop.

“My client is profoundly relieved that Ms. Murphy is finally behind bars” stated the plaintiff’s lawyer, J.D. James Kilroy. “He hasn’t been able to sleep, work or enjoy life in any way, for more than a week. He was having a hard time thinking clearly and was nearing depression, it was about time the harassment ceased. Now all we want is for Ms. Murphy to get the medical help she needs, and for the law to keep her away from my client.”

The accused is expected to appear in the state court tomorrow in Albuquerque, and most experts presume that the judge will order a psychological evaluation of the woman to determine if she is capable of standing trial.

This is another story that I will find it difficult to believe for the following reasons:
1. Is she jobless?
2. How can somebody write 647 letters in a week?
3. Can't the guy switch off his phone? If he can't do that in the day, he should be able to switch it off in the night.
