LET'S TRY THIS GAME It's called "THE LAST MAN STANDING"
The one who comments last wins, with each WORD that ends ur sentence, the next person to comment will use ur last WORD to start his or her sentence.
Example: "welcome to the game", next person 'll start with "GAME" E.g "Game of this sort is for matured minds" Next person 'll start with "MINDS" and so on....
Please if u find out ur comment is not in line with the GAME'S rule, delete and try again.
I'll start with "Life is a teacher the more we live the more we learn.
Next person should start with "LEARN" Let's go....

RealAdewole:
and what of randy orton, the wyatt family

What's wrong with them?

If you think it's scripted, how can undertaker maintain a record of undefeated in wrestlemania matches for 21 years while others sit down and watch.

RealAdewole:
on sunday at the night of champions John Cena first defeat seth rollings in the usa championship that same very night seth defeat stein after he has being beaten by cena
and Tripple H always say they are doing what is good for business

If you followed that match well, you would realize Seth won by chance not by strength.

As for doing what's best for business, it's their slang for their haters.
Do you remember last year when Seth(Shield) was a stumbling block for the authority. Now he's sold out, therefore protecting him from his rivals he betrayed is doing what's best for business.

How can you tell me it's scripted, when there are superstars who have more fans and cheering than others?

If it's scripted, there will be roles people will refuse to play, like choosing that your career would be ended after severe injury as they did to Edge, Daniel Bryan, and so on.

Are World wrestling Entertainment (WWE),
formally known as World Wrestling Federation
(WWF), fights for real or a mere acting? We
watch them bleed, using chairs and other
dangerous objects, yet there is controversy over
the genuineness of the game.

Some say it's just an acting to entertain while
some argue all we watch on TV is real.

I have never watched them wrestle live on stage
rather than on TV. Have you watched them live?

Do you have the idea whether it's nothing but
drama?
Or Is it real?

Let's hear from you.

you are the one that is made of black, I am not made of black. Just because I have a dark skin doesn't mean that I am made of black.

Sorry, you're made of white

True facts but don't generalise it because there is always exemption for every circumstance.

Wonder007:
FTC man

What's wrong with both of you?

1. Dr. PDF
This is that lecturer that sends study
materials and publications to students’ mail
boxes or sometimes to the cla$$
representative; who in turn forwards it to
every students whom it may concern prior to
the time when the cla$$ finally holds. He
comes to cla$$ the next week to explain the
materials in detail and answer questions
from every students that has one to ask. He
even receives and answers questions via e-
mail. No doubt, every student loves this
lecturer; though they are scarcely in this
side of the world.


2. Lecturer West
You know how Kanye West barely smiles,
right? Even on his wedding. Yeah, it’s really
weird. This is the case of Mr. Kanye West
too. He comes to the lecture theatre,
scornfully faced, zero smile and begins
lecturing. You’ll be making a huge mistake if
you’re planning to get on his wrong side.
Also, he doesn’t really care if you decipher
what he has spewed for the past 2 hours or
not. Don’t bother telling him you don’t
understand either, because “ Meet those who
understand” has always been his reply.


3. Mrs. Anti-Nonsense
This lady lecturer gets irritated at the sight
of almost anything any of her students do.
You dare not reply the numerous calls of
nature in her cla$$. She’s anti-nature too I
guess. She doesn’t condone yawning,
sneezing, whispering, murmuring, clapping,
sighing and so on. She doesn’t permit
sweating too! Oh well!


4. Mr. Ins
Yes. Mr. Ins. is number 3. Don’t even make
the mistake of thinking “Ins” stands for
inspiration. No way! You’re so far from it.
Ins. as used here means “Insults”: in it’s
highest form. Ask Mr. Ins a question that he
deems irrelevant and you might regret the
minute your alarm woke you. “It would have
made perfect sense if you were delivered as
a log of wood at birth. Carpenters would at
least use you to make a board. That way,
everyone, including me, would definitely feel
your presence in this cla$$”. Those were Mr.
Ins exact words to a colleague. He didn’t eat
for two days straight.


5. Prof. Einstein
Personally, lecturers in these category are
my favorite. They make me grin all the time.
Prof. Einstein is the lecturer that has never
had less than 80% in all examinations he has
ever written. He comes to cla$$ and boast
that he came top of his cla$$ in all schools
and institutions he attended. He tells
mundane tales of how he reads for 12 hours
daily when he was a student. Lest I forget,
he “almost” invented a car that runs on
cooking oil too. He calls all his student dumb
and says he performed way better than
they’re currently doing. He even says he
once lectured the current President of the
country and he his a mentor to the governor.
Funny thing is: He thinks the “dumb
students” believes him just because he is
being applauded; whereas deep down their
minds, they’re drowning in a pool of
laughter. Haha.

A sample of an accredited JAMB CBT
Centre
JAMB has instructed that only accredited
JAMB CBT Centres, tasked with
conducting the actual UTME exams, will
henceforth be the only authorised
centres for registering candidates for the
exams.
This decision by the board has led to the
disqualification of most cyber cafes and
business centres, that would usually
register candidates for UTME exams.
In as much as a whole lot of centres
have been disqualified, a few of them
only need little upgrade to attain the
status of becoming an accredited JAMB
CBT Centre. I have
now brought you exclusive information
on how to proceed to become an
accredited JAMB CBT Agent.
Becoming an accredited JAMB CBT centre
will enable you;

1. Get access code to register UTME
Candidates for the upcoming exams.

2. Conduct UTME Exams for JAMB
3. And render other JAMB services to
candidates
Requirements to Become an Accredited
JAMB CBT Centre

Here are the requirement
you should
fulfill in order to be accredited as an
official JAMB CBT Centre;

1. All your computers must be housed in
one building

2. You require a minimum of 250
functional desktop computer/laptop
systems on Cable LAN.

3. The desktop/laptop computers must
be connected to a reliable and robust
server or servers.

4. Adequate security, administrative and
technical personnel.

5. Availability of back-up power supply
(power generating set, UPS/inverters)

6. Adequate cooling system (Air
Conditioning)

7. Availability of holding room or
reception area.


8. Up-to-date Antivirus

9. Current Mozilla Firefox Internet
Browser

10. Adequate lighting system.


11. Minimum of Windows XP or higher
version of windows operating system.
The setup of the computer systems
should be such that it has adequate
privacy for each student in a box-like
setup. For a sample of the JAMB CBT
centre, please check the image attached
to this post.
Once your centre meets the above
requirement, then you can visit the
nearest JAMB office in your state of
location to get an inspection date and
further get accredited.
Whether or not you get accredited, you
shouldn't just sit back, you can also
become a CBT training centre, away from
JAMB and make money doing that too.
Most UTME candidates are searching for
training centres where they can go and
learn what the JAMB CBT Exam feels like.

The noise makers: Their quarrel starts from the gatekeepers, to the bank doors, to the customers, to the counter, and won't withdraw more than 1k. They even repeat the process while going out.

Your words are the most powerful
weapons, and yet it’s easy to undermine
yourself in written communication by
violating simple rules of punctuation. It
takes a single tweet or text for you to
reveal flaws. Homophones – words that
sound alike but are spelled differently
are particularly tricky.
These are 28 of the most common
grammar mistakes.



1. Periods and
commas
Almost never do this: “Almost never do
this”. A period or comma goes inside the
quote, “like this.”

2. Commas and semicolons
Use a semicolon when you want to link
two independent clauses; otherwise, you
probably want to use a comma. By virtue
of definition, a semicolon links two
independent clauses that are related in
thought.

3. Spaces
If using a typewriter (or if specified), use
two spaces after a period. Otherwise, a
single space will do.

4. ! – exclamation point
One is more than enough. Sometimes the
saying goes, “quality is more important
than quantity.” Same applies here.


5. emoticons
Emoticons are definitely cute, but are not
punctuation. Do not use this in an essay.
You will probably fail!

6. It’s and Its
“It’s” is a contraction of it is. “Its” on the
other hand signifies that “it” possesses
something.
Ex # 1: The dog chewed on its bone.
Ex # 2: It’s raining.
In general, if you can rewrite the
sentence to say “it is” then “it’s” is
suitable. Otherwise, you want to use
“its”.

7. Then vs. Than
“Then” conveys time. “Than” is used for
comparison.
Ex # 1: We left the party and then went
home.
Ex # 2: We would rather go home than
stay at the party.


9. Close-minded, and closed-
minded
This is a trick question. “Closed-minded”
seems logical. It is considered a correct
spelling but the original spelling of this
word is “Close-minded.” The same goes
for “close-lipped” and “close-mouthed.”

10. Affect vs. Effect
“Affect” is a verb. “Effect” is a noun.
There are however, rare exceptions. For
example, someone can “effect change”
and “affect” can be a psychological
symptom.
Example: How did that affect you?
Example: What effect did that have on
you?

11. Your vs. You’re
“Your” is possessive; it is a possessive
pronoun. On the contrary, the latter is a
contraction of you are.
Example 1: You’re pretty.
Example 2: Give me some of your
whiskey.
In general, if the sentence can be
rewritten to say “you are” then “you’re”
is appropriate. Otherwise, “your.”


12. Which and That
This is one of the most common mistakes
out there, and understandably so. “That”
is a restrictive pronoun. It’s vital to the
noun to which it’s referring. e.g., I don’t
trust fruits and vegetables that aren’t
organic. Here, I’m referring to all non-
organic fruits or vegetables. In other
words, I only trust fruits and vegetables
that are organic. “Which” introduces a
relative clause. It allows qualifiers that
may not be essential.
Example br /> I recommend you eat only
organic fruits
and vegetables, which are available in
area grocery stores. In this case, you
don’t have to go to a specific grocery
store to obtain organic fruits and
vegetables. “Which” qualifies, “that”
restricts. “Which” is more ambiguous
however, and by virtue of its meaning is
flexible enough to be used in many
restrictive clauses. Example br /> The house,
which is burning, is mine.
e.g., The house that is burning is mine

13. Moot
Contrary to common misuse, “moot”
doesn’t imply something is superfluous. It
means a subject is disputable or open to
discussion.
Example br /> The idea that commercial zoning
should
be allowed in the residential
neighborhood was a moot point for the
council.

14. Envy and jealousy
The word “envy” implies a longing for
someone else’s good fortunes. “Jealousy”
is far more nefarious. It’s a fear of
rivalry, often present in $exual situations.
“Envy” is when you covet your friend’s
good looks. “Jealousy” is what happens
when your significant other swoons over
your good-looking friend.

15. Continual and continuous
They’re similar, but there’s a difference.
“Continual” means something that’s
always occurring, with obvious lapses in
time. “Continuous” means something
continues without any stops or gaps in
between.
Example: The continual music next door
made it the worst night of studying ever.
Example: Her continuous talking
prevented him from concentrating.

16. Nor
“Nor” expresses a negative condition. It
literally means “and not.” You’re
obligated to use the “nor” form if your
sentence expresses a negative and follows
it with another negative condition.
“Neither the men nor the women were
drunk” is a correct sentence because
“nor” expresses that the women held the
same negative condition as the men. The
old rule is that “nor” typically follows
“neither,” and “or” follows “either.”
However, if neither “either” nor
“neither” is used in a sentence, you
should use “nor” to express a second
negative, as long as the second negative
is a verb. If the second negative is a
noun, adjective, or adverb, you would
use “or,” because the initial negative
transfers to all conditions.
Example: He won’t eat broccoli or
asparagus. The negative condition
expressing the first noun (broccoli) is
also used for the second (asparagus)

17. Nauseous
Undoubtedly the most common mistake I
encounter. Contrary to almost ubiquitous
misuse, to be “nauseous” doesn’t mean
you’ve been sickened: it actually means
you possess the ability to produce nausea
in others. e.g., That week-old hot dog is
nauseous. When you find yourself
disgusted or made ill by a nauseating
agent, you are actually “nauseated.” e.g.,
I was nauseated after falling into that
dumpster behind the Planned
Parenthood. Stop embarra$$ing yourself.

18. Irony and coincidence
Too many people claim something is the
former when they actually mean the
latter. For example, it’s not “ironic” that
“Barbara moved from California to New
York, where she ended up meeting and
falling in love with a fellow Californian.”
The fact that they’re both from California
is a “coincidence.” “Irony” is the
incongruity in a series of events between
the expected results and the actual
results. “Coincidence” is a series of
events that appear planned when they’re
actually accidental. So, it would be
“ironic” if “Barbara moved from
California to New York to escape
California men, but the first man she
ended up meeting and falling in love
with was a fellow Californian.”

20. Fewer and less
Another common mistake, “less” refers to
quantity and “fewer” to a number. For
instance, Facebook has fewer than 5,000
employees, but I got less sleep than you
last night.

21. Whether and if
Many writers seem to a$$ume that
“whether” is interchangeable with “if.” It
isn’t. “Whether” expresses a condition
where there are two or more alternatives.
“If” expresses a condition where there
are no alternatives. e.g., I don’t know
whether I’ll get drunk tonight. e.g., I can
get drunk tonight if I have money for
booze.

22. Run-on sentence or
comma splice
A run-on sentence is a sentence that joins
two independent clauses without
punctuation or the appropriate
conjunction. A comma splice is similar to
a run-on sentence, but it uses a comma to
join two clauses that have no appropriate
conjunction.
Fixing a run-on sentence or a comma
splice can be accomplished in one of five
different ways br /> Separate the clauses into
two sentences.
Replace the comma with a semi-colon.
Replace the comma with a coordinating
conjunction–and, but, for, yet, nor, so.
Replace the comma with a subordinating
conjunction–after, although, before,
unless, as, because, even though, if,
since, until, when, while.
Replace the comma with a semi-colon
and transitional word–however,
moreover, on the other hand,
nevertheless, instead, also, therefore,
consequently, otherwise, as a result.
For example br /> Incorrect: Rachel is very
smart, she began
reading when she was three years old.
Correct: Rachel is very smart. She began
reading when she was three years old.
Correct: Rachel is very smart; she began
reading when she was three years old.
Correct: Rachel is very smart, and she
began reading when she was three years
old.
Correct: Because Rachel is very smart,
she began reading when she was three
years old.
Correct: Rachel is very smart; as a result,
she began reading when she was three
years old.

23. Misplaced modifiers
To communicate your ideas clearly, you
must place a modifier directly next to the
word it is supposed to modify. The
modifier should clearly refer to a specific
word in the sentence. For example br />
Incorrect: At eight years old, my father
gave me a pony for Christmas.
Correct: When I was eight years old, my
father gave me a pony for Christmas.

24. Pronoun Errors
Pronoun errors occur when pronouns do
not agree in number with the nouns to
which they refer. If the noun is singular,
the pronoun must be singular. If the
noun is plural however, the pronoun
must be plural as well. For example br />
Incorrect: Everybody must bring their
own lunch.
Correct: Everybody must bring his or her
own lunch.
Many people believe that pronoun errors
are the result of writers who are trying
to avoid the implication of $exist
language. Although this is an admirable
goal, correct grammar is still important.

25. Impactful
It isn’t a word. “Impact” can be used as a
noun (e.g., The impact of the crash was
severe) or a transitive verb (e.g., The
crash impacted my ability to walk or hold
a job). “Impactful” is a made-up
buzzword, colligated by the modern
marketing industry in their endless
attempts to decode the innumerable
nuances of human behavior into a string
of mindless metrics. Seriously, stop
saying this. Impact is a noun, not a verb.
A plane can crash on impact. You can
have an impact on something. But you
cannot impact something. (When you are
tempted to use “impact” as a verb, use
“affect” instead; see #1.)


26. Care less
The dismissive “I could care less” is
incorrect. If you could care less about it,
then you’re saying you could care less
about the topic, and you’ve lost the
impact you meant to have. To use this
phrase correctly, insert the word “not”
after the word “could,” as in, “I could not
care less.”

27. Irregardless
This word doesn’t exist. The word you
should use is “regardless.”


28. Apostrophe usage
Apostrophes are used to show possession.
However, you do not use an apostrophe
after a possessive pronoun such as my,
mine, our, ours, his, hers, its, their, or
theirs. For example br /> Incorrect: My
mothers cabin is next to
his’ cabin.
Correct: My mother’s cabin is next to his
cabin.
In the case of it’s, the apostrophe is used
to indicate a contraction for it is. For
example br /> Incorrect: Its a cold day in
October.
Correct: It’s a cold day in October.
