Lmao! Abeg, wetin come happen when police show?
This na bazaar.

They went in search of the woman's corpse which was found after some days with fish bites. Thise involved were arrested but i didn't follow the case anymore. The woman that died was married to a man that lived in UK for so many years without coming back and didn't have any kids(though she adopted a girl some years before she died). So i think the case was held in secrecy in order to protect the man's family.
Nawa o!

It may not have been ritual killing as earlier thought but it seems like the hotel management panicked and decomposed the body without the authorities been notified.

Something similar happened in my community, the lady died in the hotel room and her lover ran away without telling anyone,when the hotel management went and threw her corpse into a river without informing the authorities but as fate could have it, the man returned with police officers only to discover that the corpse was missing.

And is used to connect words of the same part of speech, clauses, or sentences, that are to be taken jointly. "bread and butter"


Home Grammar Punctuation How to use a comma (,)

How to use a comma (,)
A comma marks a slight break between different parts of a sentence. Used properly, commas make the meaning of sentences clear by grouping and separating words, phrases, and clauses. Many people are uncertain about the use of commas, though, and often sprinkle them throughout their writing without knowing the basic rules.

Here are the main cases when you need to use a comma:

in lists
in direct speech
to separate clauses
to mark off certain parts of a sentence
with 'however'
Using commas in lists
You need to put a comma between the different items in a list, as in the following sentences:

Saturday morning started with a hearty breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and French toast.

The school has a vegetable garden in which the children grow cabbages, onions, potatoes, and carrots.

The final comma in these lists (before the word ‘and’) is known as the ‘serial comma’. Not all writers or publishers use it, but it is used by Oxford Dictionaries – some people refer to it as ‘the Oxford comma’. Using it can make your meaning clearer. Take a look at this sentence:

My favourite sandwiches are chicken, bacon and ham and cheese.

It isn’t entirely clear from this sentence whether the writer is listing three or four of their favourite sandwich fillings: is ‘ham’ one of their favourites and ‘cheese’ another, or is it ‘ham and cheese’ that they like? Adding an Oxford comma makes the meaning clear:

My favourite sandwiches are chicken, bacon, and ham and cheese.

Using commas in direct speech
When a writer quotes a speaker’s words exactly as they were spoken, this is known as direct speech. If the piece of direct speech comes after the information about who is speaking, you need to use a comma to introduce the direct speech. The comma comes before the first quotation mark. Note that the final quotation mark follows the full stop at the end of the direct speech:

Steve replied, ‘No problem.’

You also need to use a comma at the end of a piece of direct speech, if the speech comes before the information about who is speaking. In this case, the comma goes inside the quotation mark:

‘I don’t agree,’ I replied.

‘Here we are,' they said.

There are two exceptions to this rule. If a piece of direct speech takes the form of a question or an exclamation, you should end it with a question mark or an exclamation mark, rather than a comma:

‘Stop him!’ she shouted.

‘Did you see that?’ he asked.

Direct speech is often broken up by the information about who is speaking. In these cases, you need a comma to end the first piece of speech (inside the quotation mark) and another comma before the second piece (before the quotation mark):

‘Yes,’ he said, ‘and I always keep my promises.’

‘Thinking back,’ she added, ‘I didn’t expect to win.’

If music / muric is keen about equity and fairness in governance, then, they should ask that, the Christians do another 8 year rule to balance the lagos governorship equation.

[quote author=oyatz post=111735314][/quote]I am sure you're not a scholar, the reason you said the above.

What stops you or the government appointing a PhD holder in transportation management, who will research solutions bedeviling the sector, rather than justify this great error committed by the handlers.

Don't worry, keep justifying/celebrating nonsense.

Soon, you will have to campaign for the motor park tout as your next governor.
PoliticsRe: Lagos Appoints MC Oluomo Parks Management Committee Chairman by yemobrown(m): 9:11am On Apr 07, 2022
This is officially a big slap on education. Imagine a PhD holder with lengthy years in service to a so called progressive state being appointed as a secretary to a garage boy.

This is unacceptable and highly despicable to say the least.

This is simply maintaining status-quo.

What a pity!

An Akinwumi candidacy ought to be a solution for the betterment of Nigerians and Nigeria but, alas, the competitive stealing being practiced by those politicians will not allow Akinwumi to emerge as a candidate for the party.
PoliticsRe: FG Will Replace Fuel Subsidy With ₦5,000 Transport Grant For 40m Nigerians by yemobrown(m): 1:38pm On Nov 23, 2021
#5000 for 40m Nigerians amount to #200B. Can't the government put such money into transportation infrastructure?
A share of #5.5B for each state to purchase busses (petroleum assisted mass transit buses) whose fare will be fair to the masses.
Each states ensures every local government has its own busses peculiar to its terrain.

The idea of distributing cash is awkward and imbecillic. Use the cash for infrastructure
