We just have our priorities reversed in this country. You want to embark on a journey rather than make necessary checks you pray over it. When you have accident you then blame devil and innocent villagers for your misfortune.

Bridgetania:
ok. That is your own belief, u feel there is no God, while others feel there is God.. Why not just respect their opinion..and stop being pained about it. Its not like they are forcing u to believe. U could just pass or ignore this thread.

As for someone like me.. Despite the fact that i'm a sinner.. Nothing.. I mean nothing in this world or no explanation will convince or make me disbelieve in the Almighty Living God.

If not for the love of God, i would have been a serial killer by now..coz i know what i have been tru. But like the bible says ' vengence is mine, says the Lord, i will repay"

Whatever rocks your boat. BTW, I am not forcing my belief on anyone. I'm just speaking out because gullibility of religious people affect us all. Like people commending public officials building religious houses instead of schools, good roads etc.

danvon:
Atheist be hating this thread like

It is just painfully disappointing reading all these BS about God. It doesn't make any sense.
There is no God! Human race made him up with our imagination and we have been defending him ever since.

ItsTutsi:
according to statistics,Nigeria are amongst the most religious people in the world..where did all that take us!?! ,u can't be sleeping,praying and expect a miracle to happen..no matter how u pray,if u don't walk the talk,it's useless fam!

Fact!

Yeah, exactly what we need in Nigeria right now. We don't need schools, hospitals, good roads, clean water, jobs and other infrastructures. More prayer houses and less factories. And someone is wondering why we are so backward with soaring unemployment rate. Well, there you have it.

Ibrahimanis:
I had similar problem with defenceweb. I tried three different browsers until it opened with UC.

I have tried all my browsers yet it didn't open. Maybe I will try opening it on my PC.

lionel4power:
I have a list of blogs and websites bookmarked on my phone... DefenseNigeria.com is topping the list.


I like the blog's anger and slight paranoia

I don't know why but Defensenigeria never opens on my device.
Weird

Best picture hands down!

Take this to the department of memeology.

safarigirl:
I have modified that post.

I did not quote you intentionally, my post was for the first guy I quoted, you should have asked if you were the one I was referring to considering there were two comments mentioned, but you preferred the juvenile path

I have already apologised in my modified quote.

PS: No be your kain people attention I dey find.

If you weren't so keen on shaming people perhaps you would have paid attention before quoting the wrong moniker. Get a life madam old cargo! You are always here on NL insulting people you know nothing about.

Photos....

They are using small girls for their devilish acts. Pathetic group of people, how do they even justify that

I got this from Naijaloaded. But I think it is the Augusta Westland gifted to NAF by FGN.

It is you that thunder will fire. U are a fool.

All these religious people self. Una matter tire me. What happened to turning the other cheek when slapped on one?

I hope it ain't from enemy fire. More reason why we need more and better platforms.

DawnEden:
I just got this today, I'm sorry it looks late sort of

The information reaching us now is that the Dept of English holda *interactive session* with prospective PG students *tomorrow*.

In the last two session, there had not been anything like that. Thus, we can only pick some clues from the days when the department conducted qualifying test.

In that light, concerned persons may look into:

Category A: Language
Phonology: concept in phonetics and phonology; speech sound; stress/intonation; phonological theories

Syntax: Sentence patterns/structure/functions; phrases and clauses; tense/aspect/mood; grammar traditions (TGG, SFG, CG...)

Pragmatics/Discourse analysis: concepts; theories (speech act, ethnography, conversational implicature...)

Stylistics

Sociolinguistics/multinligualism...

Just recall general knowledge of what you learnt/were supposed to have learnt in your undergraduate days.



Category B: Literature
Literary concepts

Literary genres

Literary theories (structuralism, psychoanalysis, feminism, Negritudism...)

Poets with their works (African/non African)

Novelists with their works (African/non African)

Playwrights with their works (African/non African)

Thanks so much for this. It really helped a lot.

What is the essence of having him as king when the supposed custodian of our culture worship some fables from the Middle East?
Shame on him and all those morons that bow to the effigy of some whitewashed fictional character.

A_jet dumb bomd air strike......or MRLS which do you all this is more effective?

I guess both are really effective but if MRLS rockets are properly complemented cum guided with/by an eye in the sky, such as surveillance drone or aircraft, they can be very effective. They are fast to deploy too.

jdluv:
investigation before publishin no they our journalism again

Investigative journalism is alien to Nigerian journalists and it is saddening.

Edopesin:
So Many People Have Digested The First Thread

Almost 12k views already. So many people have been misinformed. It may seem little and insignificant but our News tabloids do it all the time.

Here is another. The thumbnail of a news claiming that ships laden with petroleum products and food will dock in Lagos shows US warships. Please, since when did US warships start bringing petroleum products and food to Nigeria?

I just want to point out some errors in a post that recently made Front-page on Nairaland. I had ignored it earlier when I saw it on Vanguard website.
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/01/photos-innosons-military-vehicles/
In the post, pictures of some Infantry Fighting Vehicles, IFVs were posted that the author claimed were produced by Innoson. However, a little investigation shows that the pictures were actually taken from Proforce's website. I mocked the post thinking that journalism has gone to a new low in Nigeria while hoping that Nigerians will see beyond the error. However, most people didn't. Journalists no longer do proper research and investigation before writing for the gullible public.
The end result is that the masses are filled with wrong and misleading information. I was shocked and dissapointed when same pictures made it to NL.

Here is a link to Proforce's Brochure containing pictures of their Vehicles. Size is 14mb

slimthugchimee:
Even laladon't know the difference BTW innoson and proforce

Don't mind those people. The misinformation originated from Vanguard website. Dumb writers, they can't even investigate. Na so them go dey call helicopter fighter jet.

Newshelm, the black Armored Fighting Vehicle is actually Proforce product. Please don't misinform the public. I know the pics were gotten from Vanguard website.

Lalasticlala and mynd44 take note.

Ibrahimanees:
If 42 these dock in Lagos, Nigeria is in trouble. Very very big trouble.

Well, according to Vanguard they are right there on our shore bringing food and petroleum product.

Ibrahimanees:
No hope at all for Nigerian journalists. It's funny, annoying and frustrating at the same time. Do they even bother to research at all?
They don't know the difference between Innoson and proforce.
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/01/photos-innosons-military-vehicles/

Vanguard always does that. They bring poor journalism to a shameful new level.
Check out the thumbnail in one of their recent post.
