Abeg jare. I have been praying to my dear God forgiveness. Ha, she's more than tough.
The thread is still here sha: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-519155.864.html

Please Mr Ola, this Busy body of a thing, is she a clown or she's just trying to be naughty? The other time, you apologised to 3 of us <slap, ferdii and me> for you derailing the thread but she, instead, accused us of been the one derailing the thread! Later now she'll know someone with first class brain or last class brain when she can't even comprehend simple statements. If she is a clown, I'll try not to take her serious but if she's otherwise, we'll go into the same skirt! Nonsense

I am sorry, Stevet. I caused it all. I shouldn't have allowed it to degenerate into an e-riotous situation. She's just been funny albeit in an intense way. I'm sure she's a nice woman.
Just let go; let off steam my friend. You are a man and you have to be plucky by blanking comments that are not palatable, especially from a woman. I will let her know your feelings.
I'm sorry, sir.

That's very nice of you sir. Thanks

stevetboy9:

Hey, Dayo.

Ma binu now. Sorry.

@BB Eeya sorry o. Stop crying now ha ha ha ha. Busy body= Olofofo Adugbo! Anybody to interprete what she had just writen; she hardly made sense with her post! Mtcheeew

Is it correct to say "You are welcome" or "You are welcomed"?

Steve take it easy. You of all people should know how to 'maintain'. The best way to defeat some things you dislike is to ignore them. By the way, I think Busy body was only trying to have fun ( with the wrong person, it now appears), nothing serious.

tigerpaws:

Is it correct to say "You are welcome" or "You are welcomed"?

I say "You're welcome". It's used in the present tense. If you tell me "You're welcomed", I'll ask "When?"

tigerpaws:

Is it correct to say "You are welcome" or "You are welcomed"?

'Welcome' is a NOUN, a VERB, an EXCLAMATION and an ADJECTIVE. So, it depends on the context.

You are welcome: welcome is an adjective here.

You are welcomed: here, it is a past participle.

What you have in mind is 'thank you', so, use 'you are welcome'.

slap1 & ola olabiy

Thanks for your replies. It's been noted!

A complete lack of humour on both parties.

Odunnu, who? @slap, case closed on busy body!

Please, is this statement correct: I used to hawking when I was young?
Also, A gold fish cannot be hidden.

Hmmmmmmmm.

'Severally'. What is the meaning of this word?

'Several times'? No. . . .WRONG!

It means 'separately'.

The same goes to 'presently' it means very soon and not at the moment. Prove me wrong!

ferdiii:

That was 10 - 15 years ago bro. It now means 'at the moment/now/currently' as well.

Thanks though.

ferdiii:

In the '90s, it's 'very soon' only. Not anymore

Thanks!

1.What do we say when alighting from a taxi or Okada? I'd like to drop here or get off here?

2.Which one is correct:Vigil/night vigil?

3.Which one is/are correct:Wake keep/Wake keeping/Wakeful night/Wake?

Difference between to frame sb [/b]up and [b]to set sb up

I want to believe we misused both and need to unlearn.

3.Which one is/are correct:Wake keep/Wake keeping/Wakeful night/Wake?

I use I'd like to stop/get off here. The second one has already been treated here; it's vigil. For the last one, I use to 'keep wake'.

The noun form is 'wake'.

Tricky. I think set-up is deadlier than frame-up. Set-up involves tricking some body and/or making it seem like they've done something wrong. Eg. A woman calls you to fix the radio in her bedroom, you enter the bedroom and she tears her cloth and holds you, screaming that you've rap€d her! Frame-up involves producing false evidence to make people believe that a person is guilty of a crime. Eg. A neighbour steals your gun and uses it for murder, the forensic test shows the weapon belongs to you and you're charged for murder. You've been framed-up. The major difference I see here is that set-up establishes a direct link between the act and the accused by having the accused at the crime-scene, while a false evidence implicates the accused in the case of a set-up. The accused may not necessarily be there.

slap1:

The noun form is 'wake'.

They are common mistakes and if hammered on repeatedly will help, let it be. It's better to say I'd like to get off here and not here. U a right in others.Thanks.

You didn't know about it because you were busy fighting Ojukwu, Emeagwali, GEJ and the rest of my Igbo brothers, lol (joking). However, you can still subscribe by bringing a large bundle of kebab (suya) as subscription fee. Deal?
