Atiku has no money to campaign with. No useful ideas to promote. No positive record to run on.

So he and his thugs have simply embraced shameless lies and cheap propaganda.

We cannot allow criminals we chased away to return and steal everything unabated again.

So nnamdi kanu was brave??

freedomforall30:
Always SE, SS or North soldiers dying. You will never hear a Yoruba soldier die. They are always the ones crying and complaining like the one shouting "see how people Boko Haram killed, Buhari come to our aid" in that video making rounds. SMH afonjas!

if a lecturer aid a strong 2.2 student to get 2.1 would the help story be state in the person's result?

APC cannot loose Lagos with the present PDP in Lagos

that aside, if federal might tends to aid ambode inn against the stakeholders wishes then the PDP should get ready to exploit that advantage as tinubu will work against buhari victory in southwest and sanwolu would be lead to AD to take his governorship election which would put an end to APC. PDP cannot win Lagos state they have no political tactics and vibes to win Lagos

Auladimeji:
You're a kid in politics
Lagosian(Voters) votes for party not individual.
Jimi Agbaje ought to be governor of lagos but he was in a wrong party
Ambode matter is done,seal and dusted.He's gone

I am a mechanical engineering graduate from lautech. So all those courses you mentioned was what i did in school.

darkid1:


The year I got into covenant , in my department , the average jamb score was 250, and many that wanted architecture that year and didn't have up to 260 and 45/60 in post UTME had to find some other department or school... Thats why you read the interviews with our best graduating students, learning that they had 300 and above in Jamb.

Acceptance fee in CU is paid long before fedral or state schools even start post jamb exams , so its not like they come because they were denied admission somewhere else .

Just this year, a course-mate of mines' sibling was denied Archie and computer engineering , was told at the admission office that he needed minimum 280 in jamb to make his BRQ sufficient enough to study those programmes


I dont know why you guys get all bitter and boil with rage , jumping into conclusion on matters you have absolutely no idea about... But then again, it only shows the kind of education received .

madgoat:

God forbid, i dont have a date with poverty. Besides we have reared rabbits in the past. All this backyard farming u guys do and deceive urselves with thinking its a sustainable source of income. May God help us in Nigeria. Its because of lack of readily available white collar jobs that people /youths deceive themselves with backyard farming. Thats how fish farming people were deceiving everyone with backyard farming some years ago. May God open the eyes of youths to see the truth and stop following illusions. If backyard farming is a sustainable source of income, then those in the villages will be millionaires and not living in poverty.

madgoat:

Most impoverished nations rely on exporting agric produces while developed nations export industrialized products. Cocoa farmers in Ivory Coast are so poor, yet the companies abroad that buy their cocoa and turn it to chocolate and other products make a fortune. Do the maths... Stop living in an illusion.

Loluores:


There's a problem with offering translations in Yoruba in this way. It's prone to inaccuracies.

You've just implied above that ṣé means should. If the person you're teaching then goes on to accept that, they'd be making blunders everywhere! They'd say:


English: You should go.
Yoruba: O ṣé lọ. (ehn)


Ṣé is called a sentential modifier in Yoruba grammar, which is, it modifies the whole sentence. In this case, it's used simply to turn a whole statement into a question. In some cases when translating, you can never really find direct translations, only close equivalents between languages. Ṣé might be loosely translated as "Is it (that)...?" In French, they sometimes say "Est-ce que...?" in front of a statement to ask a question, similar to ṣé


Kín does not mean I. It's only the n part that means I, the kí is a separate word. So it's written as kí n, not kín
So, what is kí?



Kí is called an introducer or a complementizer marking the irrealis mood. Eeehn? What's all this grammar, you might ask.

Kí is also a word put in front of a whole sentence (that's why it is called an introducer). I'll leave out the explanation of complementizer, don't wanna get too complex. Irrealis nko? Irrealis talks about words that express concepts like wishes, prayers, fears, doubts, hopes, obligations, permission, commands etc. within the predicate of a sentence. Some languages like French might call it the subjunctive mood. The opposite of this is the realis mood, which might be called the indicative mood.


When I say, "should I go?" like in your example above, I'm expressing the need for someone's permission, maybe a doubt. That's what kí signifies. It's not only kí that can signify this irrealis mood in Yoruba, there are other words like gbọ́dọ̀ (must), ní láti (have to, need to) and lè (can), but lemme leave it at that.


When the first person singular subject pronoun is used with kí, it changes from mo to n. So it's kí n, not kí mo.

Now, see these examples illustrating these ideas.

I did it. = Mo ṣe é. (realis)

Did I do it? = Ṣé mo ṣe é? (realis. Weird, huh, since it's an expression of possible self doubt. I'll explain some other time)

Should I do it? = Ṣé kí n ṣe é? (irrealis, seeking permission or command)

Should I do it? = Ṣé mo gbọ́dọ̀ ṣe é? (irrealis, obligation as in "Must I do it?", "Have I to do it?", "Do I have to do it?" )

Should I do it? = Ṣé mo ní láti ṣe é? (irrealis, necessity as in "Need I do it?", "Do I need to do it?" )

To the learners, I'm sure by now you can say "Can I go do it?" in Yoruba. The words you need are here in this comment, put two and two together.


All these nuances, very interesting, shey (ṣé)? Maybe I should even just write a book (bóyá kí n tiẹ̀ kúkú kọ̀wé kan sílẹ̀ ni o).
