He however clarified that the money carted away were “condemned currencies which were being conveyed to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)”.

If this is true, then the armed robbers ticket don cut

And if they escape with bullet wound, without hitting any of the officers then the officers deserve high rank in the police force.

The condemn currency na still money...It would be flooded in our markets and changed into better currency finally.

No be condemned currency banks dey issue since last year September-December...when they were complaining of shortage of cash and CBN not releasing money.

Men are evil. All what men think about is sex.
Never leave your girl child with any man please. This gender is cursed.

Please forgive the Mofo Father that took advantage of you...The gender isn't evil, is just a few that spoil the brut.

Exactly I don't know why they loose their sense of reasoning on erection.Association of vein gathered together called penis have been the downfall of most men.The downfall that penis cannot cause does not exist.

But you fail to zip up all the time... You've got the manhole, the other is in possession of a rod. The pestle is useless without the mortar.
But where there is availability of the manhole and is kept wide open...there must be a clinging.

But men... please stop falling into bottomless pit anyhow; you came through that point doesn't mean you go through that point.

Lalasticlala please come and join me. I don't know if you will like this since it's not snake.

Anyways i caught this today in a building site.
It's a very short story. Just manage it I'm not Chinua Achebe, those that know about stories.

This will go down as the sweetest meat I've eaten. You should try It too.

That creature has lived before you, but you chose to end his life this way.

Herbert Spencer's phrase "Survival of the fittest" copied by Charles Darwin in his "Natural Selection Theory" as it is said by him,
"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change."

That very change as promised by Buhari is here...instead of hunger to kill man, he has to readjust and feed on creatures lesser than him...Is better than cannibalizing.
But ensure ecological succession, so we don't someday feed on ourselves.

How to do that...When next you catch a female animal, think on how to get a male...vice versa.
If you can't find the sexes to procreate... please don't kill for food yet.

Forestry says plant two trees before cutting down one... that's rule of environmental conservation.

Who are the Financiers here...do they have the records clean. I see a situation where the Government of the day or the old folks who are eager to clinch on power by any means, takes on them individually to pin them for a crime.

This situation can also defeat the aim of the whole movement.

Thank you dear advocators, for thus far you have all gone in this matter. Another twist to it is this, where we can't get a greater percentage who can communicate in English fluently...for those who have gone through the evaluation and qualified, the result should qualify them for life. #EndIELTSExpiration

SouthSultan:
Have you ever wondered why the highly sought English Proficiency Test (IELTS) so expensive as against other foreign language tests? Why e dey rise everyday like garri wen dem pour water?

I know that the demand is high, as its a major requisite by educational institutions abroad, either for work or study. But as compared to the French Proficiency test taken by francophone countries for the same purposes, it is way too expensive.

How can one undergo all his studies in English Language ( from primary to tertiary) and would still have to write a test that its result expires every two years? Do we tend to forget the skills of English learnt after the two years(even if there is basis for the test) or what?

Those at the helm of affairs in the educational sector should please take this on and treat as urgent, even the poor wan comot for this country too. We dey beg!

Abeg o! I no go write say UK na criminal until I go UK collect my citizenship come back.

I am not writing an essay or a formal or official communication on nairaland. I do not have to be precise with my punctuation etc, that is not what I am talking about here. I am talking about communicating, understanding the language, understanding the real meaning of the words being spoken or written . If you do not understand the true meaning, or you use words wrongly, then you are not communicating because If i say one thing, you hear something else. I find for example it is a big issue on nairaland, I keep having to tell people to "read what I wrote again" because I always have so called educated Nigerians for some reason assuming I said something I didnt say.

If your punctuation is sloppy on social media, so long as the failure to properly punctuate does not distort the message, you will still understand what I am saying if i use the right words and you in turn understand the meaning of words I used. If I use the wrong words, or you do not understand the true meaning of the words in use then it doesn't matter whther i use capital letters, put comma in the right place or misspell especially on social media or forums etc. Thats the point.

In my last paragraph i spelt "whether" as whther but any fool knows what I mean, i used small "i" instead of "I" but you know what i mean therefore, i have communicated succesfully....that is what is meant by understanding English. the purpose of language is communication This is an informal setting no one cares about your punctuation. If my understanding of a word is different from yours we are not communicating. Thats my issue with Nigerians, many use words wrongly!!! If I say something is "viable" and you interpret that as my saying something will work then we are not communicating because thats not what i said....thats my problem with many Nigerians and English!!!

So all these epistle was just to respond to my few lines of text... You have a problem bro.
Commot body, you never leave Nigerian border.
Seeing that all your messages doesn't end without name calling shows you are sordid in mind. You are going senile and should be paid attention to.

You keep saying that's your issue with Nigerians...Are you a bastard?

perambulator:
Nigerians are actually very bad at english especially the new generation. Just read articles on Nairaland. A good example is the common use of the word "staffs" instead of "staff"

I have noticed that Ghanaians and south African countries Zambia, Tanzania etc have a better grasp of English than Nigerians. Dont assume when speaking to a young Nigerian that they actually understand what you are saying. Nigerians have a habit of hearing one word and construing another meaning to it. Today Someone was trolling me because he clearly did not understand the meaning of the word "viable".

I can understand loose use of English on the internet and social media (we all do it) but my issue is a lot of Nigerians dont actually understand the meaning or proper use of everyday English words. While we all speak in English it is sometimes difficult to communicate with the typical Nigerian in English. Very often I have to ask my staff to repeat what I just said so I know they understood what I meant. We've also bastardized so many words that very often when you use a word as intended, it is interpreted differently by many Nigerians.

Hey fellow! You ain't getting your punctuations right. Do a proofread.

airsaylongcome:
Starting a sentence with "Because" already provides enough reason why you should be writing IELTS

Because English is the primary medium of instruction in Nigeria at all levels of education, We don't need IELTS at all.


Young man, you are the one wrong here.
The sentence is a complex (compound) sentence involving a dependent clause and independent clause.

It goes either way:
We don't need IELTS at all because English is the primary medium of instruction in Nigeria at all levels of education.

Or

Because English is the primary medium of instruction in Nigeria at all levels of education, We don't need IELTS at all.


Go brush up your Gramma.

I called transcript department and was told postgraduate school is yet to bring my file.

I pray is not international organ harvester syndicate that you call liaison officer. That business is on the increase.

You guys should act fast and reach out to Embassy and access all channels possible.

Op is myopic in his reasoning...That Deeper Christian Life Ministry organized it, didn't mean it was meant for them alone.

Bro wetin person go do.

Life I've come to realize is very random: very very random.

It's a meaningless entity if you ask me and people just ascribe patterns to it to make it at least tolerable and livable.

You might get it good or bad and that's why I'm very preachy and sanctimonious regarding how people reproduce.

Imagine the current state of Nigeria with the crop of leaders we have, imagine its future yet folks being aware of these scenarios are still birthing.

Gone are the days I celebrate the birth of a child most especially after observing the family background, environment and other factors.

Is it a child born in an IDP camp you go celebrate for?

I swear ehn, the matter don make me turn Anti Natalist.

To buttress my point, go through below thread;

Chances are those triplets will have it tough in that family unless a miracle happens.

Na this one God take pass us...They would still find their footing in life.
People that reproduced 19 ended up raising them...My Four isn't going to kill me.

FreeStuffsNG:
If you go through school, great schools o,not glorified miracle centres where they write exams for you, and you are taught by great mentors and you truly allow the school to go through you, sir, you won't type what you just typed up there sir

If you have 'gone' to school and still turned out to be a person who keep making horrible decisions, you went to school for leisure and not for knowledge. Being educated in the true meaning means value of knowledge has been added to you and you are under obligation to use the value added to you positively. If you don't, you are not educated in the true sense of going to school.

That's why I always counsel folks to go to great schools,meet great mentors and study very hard to finish with great grades. Those experiences that cost you a lot are worth showcasing, defending and guiding jealously in all you do after leaving school because the school remains in you for life

My friend...getting knowledge isn't compulsory you apply it positively.
Morality is what helps you do that. That is the sense of all my write-up.
Japanese teach their children morality, that is why crime is on the low... That is what we all should keep trumpeting.
Leave this school of a thing...we have glorified it a whole lot.

FreeStuffsNG:
Nice one. This is commendable.
Anyone who builds a school closes the prison gate.

May God bless Enugu State and may God bless Nigeria forever.
All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose.

Please vote for Asiwaju Tinubu. Asiwaju Tinubu is extremely capable and competent to lead Nigeria to greater heights. God bless you.

Is subjective...Schools most times have shown to open the prison gates wide.
Application of knowledge is diverse!!

These quotes no longer apply!
Embezzlements, Terrorism, Organ harvesting, Corruptions are aided by the products of a school system.

When convicted for such crimes...The gates open wide.
Unless School system helps you now evade justice...The gates close.

If they can rectify this phobia I have for Lagos...Then I move!!!

I know of a boy who finished from Vickayor Private School in Ile-Ife who has the same first name and second name (Olowookere John Oluwaferanmi) with this guy (Olowookere Oluwaferanmi).

This boy had 7A1 and B3 in English Language.
This boy I am talking about had 350 in UTME and now on Scholarship in Turkey by Turkish Government studying Mechanical Engineering.

Below are the UTME mock, WAEC and UTME results for the boy.

Ladyhippolyta88:
This your number 3 needs more emphasis, especially to the so-called heads of the families specifically the average Nigerian man who sees headship as authoritarianism, that don't like to open up to their wives, listen and hear from them because they believe they should be making the decisions alone without due consultation.

Always learn to carry your wives along and you will not die if you adopt her advice or opinion on issues two heads are better than one and you can never know it all.

I know this advice is not gender specific but in the average Nigerian marriages it's men that often do this,while the women always consult them when she is the one making a decision

My take before doing this is... know who you married before doing this.
Many have gone down because of this!
