If you have to repeat yourself when you're talking to a native English speaker, it means you're not pronouncing your words correctly. Don't say it's the Nigerian accent. It's colloquial accent. To get a hint of what the real Nigerian accent sounds like, listen to Frank Idoho, Joseph Benjamin, and a few more well-spoken TV personalities. They wouldn't have to repeat themselves when talking to Americans or Britons.

And Americans or Britons are the only foreigners we have on the planet? Ever tried speaking to a Polish or Serbian?

Well you said Native English.

Or11:
Why do most Nigerians feel they need to change their accent when they speak with a foreigner? Nigerian accent is rated as one of the sexiest in the world. People should learn to embrace it.

Sometimes it's to save you the stress of having to repeat yourself. When you speak with the Nigerian accent to a foreigner, some of them don't get some words.

What I don't fancy is speaking to a Nigerian with a foreign accent. Once I know you be naija , my brain auto switches, it's involuntary.

O ti di Gobe!

I remember the myth back in school days. If you nack inside your car, your car go spoil. Many cars spoil Sha..

We have two earths


Earth 1 is fighting corona virus


Earth 2 is fighting lassa fever


Hmm.. I swear if lassa fever use eyes see corona virus, he go run.. I'm sure lassa fever sef go dey protect herself from corona virus


Yes I said lassa fever is a HER. She came to destroy men, she is a feminist

Many people were alarmed, then, when the World Health Organization announced in March that COVID-19 has killed 3.4% of the people who have caught it so far—a mortality rate far higher than not only the seasonal flu, but also higher than earlier COVID-19 mortality estimates, which were around 2%. - time.com

About 15–20% of hospitalized people with Lassa fever will die from the illness. The overall case fatality rate is estimated to be 1%, but during epidemics, mortality can climb as high as 50%. - Google.

Each Earth has its own problems.

iCauseTrouble:
Other Countries are fumigating against Corona Virus, Nigeria is fumigating against Lassa Fever.
What a misplaced priority

Really? Anyway by your moniker I can see your intentions.

This is a good move. Until we are sure of a Corona outbreak in Lagos, public enlightenment will suffice for now. The Lassa needs to be tackled and the govt should consider fumigating more places, the rats are basically everywhere.

Less cars, less Generators due to stable electricity or less corruption/diversion of vessels?

The epl should just go on a 14 self isolation for all players and staff. Perhaps all over the world. Only there's too much money involved and the powers that be might not approve this.
A 14 day break will help identify any threats and also disinfect all stadiums and remaining games be played behind closed doors. Season is almost over anyways.

Too early to call off Euro 2020?

Dey deceive yourself there, if you know the amount of evidence gotten by UEFA tru dat Portuguese whistle blower guy... You will pity mancity... PSG own seff dey one corner, The engish FA is already doing there own investigation, if UEFA's findings are true... I pity man city, you go just dey see features like this next season:

PORTSMOUT VS. MANCITY...

You no see d fine seff? Almost 30million pounds.

Na some countries budget be dat ooo... It only show how thick the matter be.

No worry. Soon you will understand that corruption, politics, influence no be Nigerian words.

We all know what the outcome will be. City will play in CL next season.

This is what i worked for"...lol she don give am small current him mind don calm. lmao

There is a trend. Perhaps something we dont know. I know majority of okada riders in Ogun are local. The Gov is saying locals are fine for now but if they allow...make I leave am here.

Very nice write up OP. I wonder why so many still fall for it. If you can't give out your atm pi to a stranger, same should be done for any OTP.

Hmm bet these were Gbagada days. Jargo went in too deep with them leaves, started rapping about things that were too deep for the Nigerian minds. I mean suffering was too much on the streets, Naija peeps just want feel good music to commot stress not the one wey go dey work our minds.

Good as these policies seem on paper, they need to be executed with a lot of consideration. Were the occupants given notice? taken to court etc?

People don't always like changes. But as time goes on, and with dedication to enforcement by our security agencies, people will have no choice but to get use to it. These bike riders brought this upon themselves. Their excesses were becoming too much in lagos . Some of them used these bikes to rob and commit all sorts of crimes. Some of them don't know anything about traffic rules and regulations, yet when involved in an accident will call their colleagues to manhandle you and damage your car. I have no pity for them at all. Uber all the way. The rest I will rather walk. And to those of them threatening to go into full time criminality, I wish them all the best.

You couldn't have said it better. They had it coming. Their Union ought to have cautioned their riders long ago but they never did. Opay and the likes started with responsible riders who kept to the side on the road. Now I guess massive profits is the order of the day. Opay gives it's bikes to just anyone. The bikes now oppress and intimidate other road users. Sanity needs to be restored to the highways.

No be only chance ns opportunity. The room you stay in doesn't have a lock? For the sake of your sisters kid you might need to stay but ensure you sleep in a locked room. If that cant be guaranteed then please leave the house.

The driver must be APC...

Like I told someone last week, never send money or goods from abroad for business in the hands of a family member. Keep your money until you have the ability to come down and do ish yourself. Naija people are not smiling.

Ovawise2020:
Comparing Ajasa to DaGrin is like Comparing NiggaRaw to Phyno.. Phyno made Igbo indigenous rap more acceptable.


Lord Of Ajasa was before DaGrin but Lord of Ajasa wasn't taken serious by the industry... The street were only vibing to his Yoruba lyrical rhyming and nothing more.. Show organisers where not really much into it and that's why during Lord of Ajasa reign, 80% or even if not 90% of upcoming rappers preferred to sound like Lil Wayne, 50Cent, Dr Dre, Eminem, Jayz , Nas N co..


But After DaGrin dropped the C.E.O Album, That marked the beginning of the end of upcoming artiste trying to sound like Lil Wayne n co...

The street and the Nigerian music industry now started having elements of Yoruba rap in their songs..

To people saying their was nigga raw and co, Nigga raw, Ajasa and co, put all their album together, it never gained grounds like the C.E.O Album..

Hats off to your analysis. The Ajasa fans trying to downplay Dagrins influence on the game. So tomorrow if we say the likes of Davido, Wizkid , Burna took naija music international, they'll tell us Dbanj was here before them?

rhektor:
Did you know about Lord of Ajasa, AY and hosts of other indegenous rappers? Don't say what you don't know

Perhaps you are the one saying things you dont know. These names you mentioned didnt bring the kind of attention Dagrin brought to yoruba rap industry. His death alone opened up the highway to attention, the industry was thirsty for more yoruba bangers and what happened, olamide blew just the way puffy blew when smalls died.

Lord of Ajasa, AY one hit wonders.

It is what it is. So say it like it is. Give credit to whom credit is due.

fidelmarshal199:
Dagrin didn't pave any way. it was just time for the indigenous style to bloom

Oh no, don't take Dagrin's shine away. He caught major attention with the Yoruba punchlines. Made everyone listen.

Badoo should do this for the industry. Dagrin paved the way for y'all, show his fam some love. Plus the boy dey try.

The statement added: ”The bureau is open to receiving any video clip, relevant evidence or information that may assist in this investigation.” You mean we don't have camera's pointing at the runway? Just to even monitor things For INTERNATIONAL Airport??

Exactly. At this point. It's 2020 and yet Nigeria can't offer 24hrs stable electricity.

Almost every family used the car in the 1990s

It was a transition from beetle to peugeou (504 or 505) to Mercedez benz.... as God take dey bless you.

See brother , brother.....(continues singing and walks out )..

Profiling ke.. More like sick degenerative entities who have pre-emptive and stereotypical expectations and assumptions that if you're clean or not scruffy you're a " thief".

Same stereotypical reasoning permeates into the ordinary citizenry where people come up with all sorts of delusional projections and judge issues/people without careful rationalisations. Needless to give examples, but let me put out a few, you sound intelligent, you're a fraudster just using English to disguise. You dress well as a lady, you're an olosho


U wanton hurried assumptions is now replacing rationalism and critical thinking in the society. Deal with it. Too many in this society are too mentally ill to even know their own conditions and too broke to seek needful help for corrections.


Trust me, over 80% are mentally unstable. If you doubt it, at the close of day observe the frantic lunatic displays in the mad craze displayed... You'll see the sickness in the heart and mind of the society

And you aren't being stereotypical by assuming 80% are mentally unstable. Get in line bro, we all going to see the shrink together.

Merry Christmas.

sometimes looking at people like these or others with any form of disability or defects is enough for you to thank your creator for making you without any form of disability or defect.

Lord almighty I thank you for who I am

Your way of thinking is a disability. I thank God he didn't create me like you.... Get it?

That's how star do.

@ poster above me. Abeg pour me a glass. I second your motion.
