According to this thread

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=66979.msg1304657#msg1304657

and this post from the thread
You have visited naija which is what I was trying to recall above. Let us assume that you travelled then with a visiting Visa, why would you tell us you are going to see his brothers and sisters for the first time when one of the brothers raped you?

What are trying to find out? Something does not add up here. I stand to be corrected though.

Theblessed:

[size=18pt]Please, show us how the UK people become the Olodo here?  If the person who stole their language and tried to make it his by changing certain quarters to suit himself is not an Olodo, I wonder who is. 

Yet, at the end of the day, both POUNDS, KILOS, STONES etc are of European construct - Pounds and Stones are ENGLISH LANGUAGE that belongs to the ENGLISH hence British English. Kilogrammes is a FRENCH construct and belongs to the FRENCH.  Now, show us the AMERICAN'S above, let us see!  You have the guts to use our language and make unnecessary noises, how dare you[/size]

bawomolo:

have you heard of an english word called sarcasm? you might want to read up on it.

Glad you now understand what I am talking about.  Even the word 'Sarcasm' is still  European construct - the French! Anyway, last time I had a look in that your book it read, my post was very much in line with the idea - sarcasm.  And I think, we should all at all times point to or justify ourselves with the idea in our presentations, don't you reckon

bawomolo:


not really.  Lighten up and please reduce that font. it's a pain for my eyes.

Pleeeeeaaaaase, don't even go there - Lighten up Hmmm!  They say one man's food is another's poison!  And he doesn't get it, does he? Seems you have a tunnel view about life.  'Cos it might be painful in your eyes, have you any thought for partially blind people and those with other eye defects who have difficulty reading small texts and very much would love to read with ease, all you'd been taking for granted?  Goes to show all I have been saying, the hallmark of self-centred people lacking consideration for others.
Well, the fonts makes it easy for others and myself to read and respond to some of the bunkums you and others put on here.

The blessed; no disrespect but your font and colour does make reading your posts quite difficult.

personally, I scan your posts and dont read the whole thing from start to finish which is a shame because I am sure you must have some very good points/advise/opinions.

It will also help if you left gaps between paragraphs.

Thanks for your comments and points noted!  But there is something called 'Choice'. The font and colour are personalised for a reason and I'm sure others have their own or similar reasons, too.  As of having difficulty reading my posts, I find it quite interesting that my choice of colour,'the Colour Purple' with its accompanying large Texts interferes with peoples' reading, instead of small texts. Quite strange! Perhaps, you have a strong aversion to reading very long texts/Essays and thus, easily get disinterested in them.  Or that you only have patience for things you're interested in reading. Personally, I love reading, no matter the length and as long as it's visible, legible and bold enough to read. Sometimes, this can land me in trouble as I tend to respond to them quite often.  But, you don't have to read all the texts if you don't want to and, you're quite right scanning those you need afterall, we are all different and have different approaches to things.   

As for lack of gaps and paragraphs, I wonder how you mean by gaps?  I am sure in my texts, I always leave appropriate gaps between Full-stops and the beginning of new sentences, if am correct? At the same token, I must admit I do not always incorporate series of Indentations or paragraphs in my writing reason being, I prefer writing in 'BLOCKS'.  These days, most modern Companies adopt Block Writing Styles in their correspondence rather than, Indentation Style.  Basically, I can not see anything wrong in writing in blocks besides, N/L people are not concerned with peoples' styles of writing rather, their input and quality of contributions to the forum - not picking on irrelevancies.

Seems like all the excitement of visiting Nigeria for the first time is almost all gone.
just hang in there
