Good points, but to some people that NO 3 is the beginning of immorality. What will you say of married men and women who still go after another person's husbands or wives or perhaps after teenagers.

onomeglo:
lol@slippers buh she is doing it for ya all male folks na

Nooooo for those who likes products that has been seen and sampled by who didnt even asked for it.

onomeglo:
Girls sha.. Must she expose those innocent things to be beautiful or wat?

Help me ask her ooo. Those soft pedals that now look like used slippers

That's your own assumption. I think you need a job, so you can stop all these irrational thinking.

But what is this world turning into? Some women or ladies dont give regards to their bodies again. And yet they will expect men to threat them like a queen. Exposing your stretched mark body turns men off incase you dont know.

choi...i doff my hat for you...thank you so much.

Thanks.

Guilty conscience is killing him slowly. There's always light at the end of the tunnel.

Real man!!u deserve a medal

Thanks dear. It's expected of me cos it's our baby. We did it together so we shud be there together to have the baby. I had to work out my annual leave to Expected Date of Delivery. Before, I respect women a lot but after then my respect for them increased in hundred folds.

On the 30th of July 2015, wen my wife had our first baby. A boy, I was in the labour room, encouraging her that she can make it, she can do it. Women needs encouragement, prayers, and supports when they are in labour because it's a scenario of life and death. And more so, when men does it makes them to appreciate their wife more, to knw wot they passed thru for been a woman.

I almost beat up one like that inside Ojuwoye market in Mushin, Lagos state. The fake masquerade didn't knw I was together in the market with my wife's sister cos she was ahead of me a bit . He wanted to scold her so he can collect money frm her. He quickly took a turn wen I said 'ki lo sele' (Wetin happen). He jokingly said I dey play with her. I didn't even bother if I was going to be beaten or I will be d one to beat him. All I know is dat, dey are hungry area boys covering up to exhort from people.

tomakint:
It's a pity the things of the spirit is still hidden from you! I wish you well.....

First wish urself well. Look at you that things of the spirit is revealed to, yet you don't where you belong. You should pray to God to open you inner mind and He should give you the ability not to worship mere human being like you. Only Almighty God is worthy to be worshipped.

You forgot to add FATAI to his aforementioned names you wrote; or he didnt tell you he also bears that name. You will soon know wot you dont know, just keep worshipping human being like you thinking that can take you to heaven. You never see chontin, you are OYO (On Your Own)

During my search for job few years back. I came across so many write ups on how to shake hands with interviewer(s) and how to stare at them when you shake their hands. This is not interview now but between PMB and GEJ who rocks it better in shaking Obama's hand?

Rejoice with me as the Lord blessed me and my wife a 'birthday gift' that no man can never give. We were blessed with a BOUNCING BABY BOY on the 30th of JULY, 2015 just 3 days after me and my wife's birthday. We represent 27th of July, my father-in-law is 29th and our baby represents 30th of Jult. Isn't that amazing.

[size=15pt]Op arrange the write-up properly..

I couldn't read that [/size]

What about now boss?

Just admit it. Sometimes, you get confused over which of two similar words to use. Sometimes, you even use the wrong word while trying to feel important, only to discover months or years later that you messed yourself up. Imagine the embarrassment! Does it not remind you of attending an event without knowing that you were wearing your shirt inside out or that the fly of your trousers was open all along? You will begin to recall who saw you and what you did at the event, wishing you could turn back the clock.
Well, you are not alone: it happens to the best of us.
But there is a way out: Constant practice, researching and crosschecking.
Just banish all assumptions!
Having this list close by will help you a lot. You can print it out: keep one by your bedside and one by your office desk for constant reference.
Most importantly, I have created codes and mnemonics to make it easy to remember the right options.

1. Severally vs several times
WRONG: I have warned you severally to mind your own business.
“Severally” does not mean “several times.” It means “separately” or “individually”. Example: The company’s directors are jointly and severally liable.

RIGHT: I have warned you several times/repeatedly to mind your own business.

2. Complement vs compliment

WRONG: Thanks for the complements.
RIGHT: Thanks for the compliments.
Note that complement and compliment are both verbs as well as nouns. They both have 10 letters, start with a “c” and end with a “t.” All their letters are the same except the “e” and “i” somewhere in the middle.
Complement means “to make complete”, or something that makes (another) complete. Examples: A wife complements a man. A wife is a complement to a man.
Compliment means a praise or to praise. Examples: Never get tired of complimenting your wife. Never get tired of giving your wife compliments.
Code: Complement and complete have the same meaning and also have two “e’s”.

3. Sometimes, some time and sometime

WRONG: There was a full eclipse of the sun sometimes in 1947.
RIGHT: There was a full eclipse of the sun some time in 1947.

Sometimes is written together as one word that ends with an “s”. It means “occasionally.” For example: Sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry.
Some time:
Some time, written as two words, refers to the amount of time involved, and usually implies a long period.
The “some” in some time functions as an adjective that qualifies “time.”
Example
He has been writing a book for some time.

Sometime:
When written as one word, sometime is an adverb that implies a vague time in the future. It has a similar meaning as “someday.”
Example
Let’s meet sometime and discuss the project.

4. Emigrate vs immigrate (plus migrate)
To emigrate means to leave one’s country to live in another.
To immigrate is to come into another country to live permanently.
To migrate is to move, like birds in the winter.

If Majek Fashek leaves Nigeria to settle in Jamaica so as to be closer to Bob Marley, someone in Nigeria can say that Majek Fashek has emigrated to Jamaica, while someone in Jamaica would say that Majek Fashek has immigrated to Jamaica.
So to emigrate is to “go out,” while to immigrate is to “come in.”
Code: You can use the “e” in “exit” or “external” to remember “emigrate,” while the initial “i” in “immigrate” should remind you of “inside” or “internal.”

To migrate is to move, especially in large numbers, like birds and fish do seasonally. Human beings can also migrate for a season and return, or migrate to another part of the country for work or to be closer to their family.

5. Being vs been

WRONG: The government has being paying lip service to the welfare of the people. (from a newspaper)
RIGHT: The government has been paying lip service to the welfare of the people.
Being is the present continuous tense of the verb to be. Example: He is being investigated. Being cannot follow “has” or “have.”
Been is the past participle of the verb to be: Example: He has been promoted.
Code: Been is always used with the verb to have, which is its auxiliary verb. The auxiliary verb for being, on the other hand, is the verb to be (e.g., is, are, was).

6. Seeing vs seen

WRONG: Have you seeing my phone?
RIGHT: Have you seen my phone?
Seen is the past tense of the verb see: see, saw, seen.
Seeing is the present continuous tense of see. It is also a gerund (a verb which functions as a noun – It usually has an -ing ending): Seeing is believing.

7. Cite vs site
Note: The two words are pronounced alike (just like “sight” too), but their meanings are different. That means that they are homophones.
Cite: to quote, mention, praise, summon, etc. For example: The geographer cited five reasons to prove that the earth is spherical.
Site: to fix or build (something) in a particular place. Example: The governor sited the new stadium in his hometown.
As a noun, site means a particular place where something is happening or has happened, or a piece of ground for building on. Example: The university has moved to its permanent site.
Sight: As a verb, it means to catch a glimpse of. Example: Muslims have sighted the new moon, which signals the beginning of Ramadan.
As a noun, it is derived from the verb to “see.” For example: At 80, his sight is still good.
Code: To site means to situate.

8. Dupe vs fraudster
WRONG: The notorious dupe has finally been arrested.
What a life! When trouble visits a person, it brings along its kith and kin. Why should a person who has been duped be called “notorious” and arrested?
A dupe is a person who has been deceived or tricked, and not the perpetrator of such deceit.
RIGHT: The notorious fraudster (duper) has finally been arrested.

9. Mediocre vs mediocrity

WRONG: This company stands for excellence. Mediocres are not tolerated.
Mediocre is an adjective and cannot be a person. Mediocrity is (A) the state or quality of not being very good, (B) a person who does not show very good qualities or abilities.
RIGHT: This company stands for excellence. Mediocrities are not tolerated.
He who wants to be a leader must rise above mediocrity.
A mediocre writer cannot make it to the top.

10. Taxing vs tasking

Wrong: Writing may look simple but it is really tasking.
“Task” can be a noun (a piece of work one does as a duty or a difficult undertaking) or a verb (to assign a job to someone, or to make great demands on someone’s resources or abilities). But it is not an adjective.
So you can have expressions like:
Noun – Your new task is to man the organisation’s website.
Verb – You are tasked with the new role of manning the organisation’s website.
Verb (present continuous) – Before tasking me with the new role, why not give me some training?
On the other hand, to tax is to impose a tax on someone or make heavy demands on (someone’s powers or resources).

Right: Writing may look simple but it is really taxing.
In this case, “taxing” is an adjective qualifying “writing”. It means: physically or mentally demanding.

@ Op, you forgot to add "You know when you keep a goat and a yam together, the goat will eat the yam" - GEJ 2014

Truth is bitter, but that is the simplest truth in the best way it can be told. Nobody is above d law. Shikena

What is special about this lady that we Nigerians gives her attentions despite her adding no value to our lives. How does this pix of hers affect the price of petrol at the fuel station. Mtsheeeeeeew. I'm nt hating but let's call a spade a spade.

judebebo:
In as much as I appreciate ur interest in d hdd, u should also be aware thatv3k isn't a feasible price... Am selling it 3k5 because of my urgent need, I never agreed to d other guy... Read my post sir... Secondly am also selling my elite book laptop as cheap as 25k cos of d same reason.... Am a very since and honest person and won't want to disagree with anyone..
I hope u understand sir.

I will chat up with u on Whatsapp better. We can be able to conclude on where to see.

U agreed 3k last to someone even outside Lagos. Why can't I pay same, at least I'm in Lagos. 3k or let another lucky person claim it. Are u selling for 3k or not bro?

3k, I'm in Lagos. I reside around Palmgrove. How can we get to see?

Your friend or you? Anyway, whoever it may be, he paid for what he knows best to eat. I guess he met her online and konji has really helped him. The money I think is meant for the services rendered by the girl. That's a lesson for u/him to learn and I hope that will teach others pple like you/him a lesson also. You are on ur own.

Worshipping of religious leaders has really eaten deep into we Africans' bone marrow. The man himself knows he has a skeleton in his cupboard. You people forgot so soon how the late journalist and Yoruba programme 'Nkan Nbe' presenter Kolawole Olawuyi exposed this same man secrets in the early 90s on Radio Nigeria, Ibadan. The late presenter talked about how he could not go back to his home town due to so many atrocities he did back then abt how he used an hunched back man for ritual and so many secrets were revealed. You pple shud tell me what T.B did then, he threatened to sue the radio station if the presenter desist frm talking abt him. He claimed d late presenter is blasphemy him. But never forget that nothing last forever. I pray we will all live long to see his outcome. A man presently a Pastor with RCCG even talked abt how he was a teenage friend with T.B and how he tried to lure him to his ministry so they can be working together after they met several year after. This is not, them say them say. The pastor was my wife's parish pastor befr I got married to my wife and she has to join my own parish. God is watching all of us in 700D graphic TV and He will judge everyman accordingly. Never fall a slave to 'Men of God'. There is more to some 'men of God' than what you think.

Thrash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
