Education / 10 Common Words Nigerians Use Everyday That Don't Exist by villagecraft: 11:21am On Apr 21, 2017
Below are words Nigerians use that don’t exist in the English dictionary:

1. Go-slow: When Nigerians say go-slow, they mean congested traffic, which is wrong. The meaning of go-slow in the English dictionary is, a form of industrial action in which work or progress is deliberately delayed or slowed down.

2. Disvirgin: This word is used on a daily basis by many Nigerians when they intend to say a woman has lost her virginity. There is no word like disvirgin. The correct word to use is deflower. Disvirgin simply does not exist.

3. Trafficate: Nigerians use the word to describe a situation where a driver indicates to other drivers that he/she wants to take a turn. It is used so often, that it has started to sound like proper English.

4. Flashing: Every Nigerian knows “flashing” to mean when someone calls your mobile phone and cuts off before you answer. The word ‘flash’ is so common among Nigerians and its used at least once daily by many. Flash hmedia
.
fferent meanings but none has anything to do with a phone call. The word doesn’t exist in that sense in English.

5. Installmentally: Don’t be tempted to use the word ‘installmentally’. Though it sounds correct, it isn’t. There is no such word in the English dictionary as it exists only in the Nigerian edition of English language. The correct thing to say is ‘in installments’.

6. Opportuned: What exists in English dictionaries is ‘opportune,’ without ‘d’ at the end. Opportune means ‘timely’ or ‘well-time, especially convenient or appropriate for a particular action or event. Opportuned is only common in Nigerian English.

This happened to me last night. Around 2am, as I was about to relocate to my bedroom to finish up the work, a woman inboxed me. She is 7-months pregnant. She has been in a very awkward relationship. The man responsible for her pregnancy is a married man. But the pregnancy was not an accident.

Barr Emeka Ugwuonye Says: IF YOUR HUSBAND TELLS YOU TO GO TO JUJU PRIEST AND SWEAR THAT YOU NEVER CHEATED ON HIM, DIVORCE HIM IMMEDIATELY.

My reason is very simple! That man wants to kill you. Anybody taking you to juju to swear believes you will die or go mad if you lied. So, he wants you dead. He is okay with you dying.

People who love you will never let you swear for them. First, he doesn’t trust you. Second, he wants you dead. Please, don’t even argue with him. Just call your lawyer.

I know some silly men would say I’m promoting divorce. I don’t care about what those wife-killers think. It is better to divorce than to die prematurely.

By the way, a man sending you to swear before a juju doctor may just be creating an alibi for killing you. He will poison you and claim it was the juju that killed you because of the oath you swore. So, divorce the idiot. And if you have evidence that he asked to take you to the shrine, the court will likely never allow him to have custody because he may take the children to swear before a juju priest.

The juju priest should be arrested because he has been planning to kill someone through the oath taking. No mercy for such a man.

STILL ON NBA v. Ofomata (2017) 5 NWLR (Pt. 1557) 128 at 133.

While section 22 (1) (b) permits only lawyers to “take or use the title of legal practitioner,” it does not say the later should use the expression “legal practitioner” or “barrister” as a title before his names. The proper interpretation of that paragraph is that only a person duly qualified as a lawyer can hold himself out as a legal practitioner by using that title. Example:
“Sylvester Udemezue,
Legal Practitioner”
OR
“Sylvester Udemezue,
Barrister-at-Law”
OR
“Sylvester Udemezue,
Barrister & Solicitor.”
Or
“Sylvester Udemezue,
Solicitor & Advocate”

The Above is what the LPA contemplates when it entitles a lawyer to use or take that title. The LPA does not contemplate that the word “barrister” s.....[url]http://www.naaija.com/nba-v-ofomata-2017-5-nwlr/

Career / Why Many Medical Doctors Practising In Nigeria May Never Be Wealthy by villagecraft: 1:25am On Apr 18, 2017
My dream to become a doctor was as old as my puberty.


As a new Group Head, Conglomerates & Manufacturing Department in Corporate Banking in my erstwhile bank, I needed to hire sharp young people, train them and mentor them towards achieving the group’s assigned targets.

With management’s nod, I asked the head of Human Resources to mine the bank’s database for job applicants and schedule ten of them who had scaled through the written tests phase, for interview.

I further conditioned my specifications to those below the age of 27 years with high power of numeracy evidenced by a distinction in Maths and also a degree in Natural Sciences.

Politics / People Around Buhari Leaked My Memo, Says El-rufai by villagecraft: 5:47pm On Apr 14, 2017
Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna state, has blamed some people around President Muhammadu Buhari for the manner in which the memo he wrote to Buhari back in September was leaked.

In the 30-page document, el-Rufai told Buhari that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was leaving below expectation.

Making reference to Abba Kyari, chief of staff to the president, and Babachir Lawal, secretary to the government of the federation, the governor said some of the people around Buhari were not only selfish, but inexperienced.

Last month, el-Rufai had said he had no regrets about what he wrote, and that he felt less concerned if anyone was upset about the letter.

But speaking with state house correspondents after attending Jumat service with the president on Friday, el-Rufai said he had it on good authority that those around the president released the document.

“I am disappointed that a private communication to the highest office in the land can be leaked and it was leaked from the villa,” he said.

“This is a fact. I was told by those who published it… we live in an age where anything you...http://www.naaija.com/people-around-buhari-leaked-my-memo/

Crime / EXPOSED: Ikoyi Cash Belongs To Rotimi Amaechi. by villagecraft: 9:22pm On Apr 13, 2017
Waooooo news on Ikoyi Cash discovery ...

I'm told now by efcc sources that the money belongs to rotimi amaechi the minister of transportation. The house was built by alhaji muazu the former gov of bauchi state through a loan from gtb bank. He could not repay the loan so gtb took over the house and allocated the penthouse to muazu and two flats. Esther lives in one of the flats while rotimi amaechi bought 2 of the flats 7a and 7b. He then gave 7a to his girlfriend mo abudu the TV presenter. But the flat where the money was found belong to rotimi amaechi. The efcc is in an embarrassing situation now because the government or the villa was not alerted before the news broke out. Now the efcc is trying to do do damage control over the issue. Let's see how it goes. Very interesting.


Mu’azu ::::: I sold my Ikoyi house to pay bank loan…I know nothing about ‘recovered loot’

Adamu Mu’azu, former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says he knows nothing about monies found by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at a property reported to be his in Ikoyi, Lagos.

On Wednesday, EFCC said it discovered $43.4m, £27,800 and N23.2m in a house in Ikoyi, Lagos, which was said to belong to the ex-PDP chairman.

Mu’azu, who was the governor of Bauchi state from 1999 to 2007, said he took a bank loan to acquire the land where the house was built, and eventually had to sell it to pay back the loan.

“My attention has been drawn to the news making the rounds that I own the building on No.16 Osborne Road, Ikoyi, Lagos. I want to state clearly that I built the said property and sold to prospective buyers of individual flats,” he said.

“I have been a property developer since 1983 and I have developed and sold several properties all over the world, the property in question happens to be one of them. I acquired the land and jointly develop it using a bank loan, I obtained about nine (9) years ago.
