Originalsly: Do correct your usage....both...none...nobody...everybody...either... neither....each of these IS followed by a singular verb making both is correct.
Which planet do you emanate from?
I corrected someone who used BOTH with IS,
and here you come with your asinine adjudication...
In English, you can't write: BOTH IS CORRECT, but rather,
BOTH ARE CORRECT...Do you want to lecture me in Philology being a multilinguist?
Please, comprehend and assimilate people's line of discussion before intervening, ok?

Bandit C.:
Saying or writing the nigerian army instead of the nigeria army.
Another ambiguity from your end there!
Nigeria, as a word, is a noun; so, in this order, it takes up 's as possessive form, eg: Nigeria's economy, Nigeria's currency etc.
On the other hand, Nigerian, as a word, denotes adjectival form, which as you are aware, is a word imputing a characteristic to a noun or pronoun.
Eg, Nigerian Naira, Nigerian food, etc.

initiate: "as of" correct

"as at" wrong

Please, do not mislead people with your extraneousness.
'As at' means: a given date...so its usage in that regard is legit.

boborosky: before u pour out those bits and pieces of balderdash in your brain take some time to think so dat stupidity of d highest order would not b displayed. Low current as used in d context i mean is wrong. For expample. When there is power supply you will notice a high or low voltage. It is usually noticeable when you look at ur electric bulb.

My Fella, did you read physics?
If you did not, then, there should be nothing like 'low voltage' if you meant to address it via a bulb conduction...
By definition, a current is: A flow of electric charge through a conductor. And in respect to this, a charge
is being electroported via a bulb... Whilst a Voltage means: The potential of electromotive force of an electric charge, measured in volts.
And for your information, Voltages are conducable via cables and for instructional purposes, voltage is often compared to water pressure.

Wallie: Hmmm....did you make all these up?

Please, do correct your usage of BOTH with a verb (is)...
At that stead, Both should be followed by (ARE), ok?.

Many Nigerians are just sarcastically tempestuous and invidious.

The chief problems of Nigeria are: DEARTH OF LOVE AND GENUITY OF INTERACTIONS
AMONGST THE THREE MAJOR TRIBES VIZ; HAUSA, IBO AND YORUBA: The sore of supremacy
is such a thorn on the country's wellbeing and sovereignty. The Hausas believe they're born to rule!!!
The Ibos believe they're the potential and stronghold of Nigeria's economical traits; and also feel
superior to other existent tribes; whilst the Yorubas hold, in their ambiguous asseveration, that they are more intelligent and
are capable of surviving aislado without other tribes. The whole truth in it, is that Nigerians are not ready to love, amend and make
up amongst selves, issues that can move the country forward...
Religion / Re: Is It Right For Jonathan To Kneel At Redeemed Camp by CARLISTO77(m): 4:51pm On Dec 16, 2012
tommykiwi: Instead of you guys mourning the leaders we just lost in the crash,you guys are here quarreling about the president kneeling before a GREAT man of God( Man representing God on Earth).....Please send your condolences to the families that just lost their Father,Uncle...Etc And also to Nigeria in general...May there soul rest in the blossom of the Lord.....Amen.

May you be met with favour with your articulation.
All religious leaders, irrespective of their callings are far greater than presidents...
Meaning that, Prophets, Pastors, Imaams, Caliphates are all above rulers, whom at the tail end,
will all be referreed to as ex this, ex that...President my foot.
Religion / Re: Is It Right For Jonathan To Kneel At Redeemed Camp by CARLISTO77(m): 4:40pm On Dec 16, 2012
danny301: It's traditional for Christians to kneel down when they are being prayed for.... They kneel as a sign of humility and submissiveness to God and not to man.... It takes a man that kneels before God to stand before men.... All former Presidents who are Muslims go to the mosque and sit on the mat like any other worship-per there and nobody criticize them..... Jonathan was first of all a christian before become a president and am sure he will remain a christian even after the expiration of his tenure.

The most sensible,savvy and purposeful post so far.
Well articulated and concise in its message conveyance.
So many Ninnyhammers on Nairaland! Some sense via their butts, while others are either
demented, or always on debauchery while posting comments.
Nigeria is the only existent country in this vain world where people rever mortals aloof God.
The chief raison d'etre why Nigeria is always met with quagmires of calamities, massacres and ambiguous
degeneracy of quality standard of living. As it goes, ¨Cada país merece su Gobierno¨- Meaning, Every entity deserves the Government of its kind.

Dandy.:


both are from the root word-''be''. ''Being'' is the continuous form of ''be'',while ''been'' is the past tense and past participle form.i.e(be been been).''Been'' is usually used after the word ''have'' to show that the action is done. E.g; I have been here all day. While ''being'' shows the action is still active. E.g; the topic being treated by this thread is the misuse of the word ''am''.
Hope this helps.

Please correct those gaffes...

BEEN can never be a past tense form of BE.
Instead, BEEN denotes PAST PARTICIPLE OF BE.

Politics / Re: Chinua Achebe: Why Nigerians Hate Igbo by CARLISTO77(m): 4:59pm On Oct 20, 2012
bittyend: Can Ibos survive without Nigeria? I really doubt that because they need others to survive. I have never seen any other prominent Nigerian from the other ethnic groups make noise about the success story by comparing their achievements or lack thereof with others; only Ibos do that. Which means, the average Ibo man feeds off the energy of the other ethnic groups.

Personally, I'll like to see a divided Nigeria, where everyone returns to their region, and build a nation based on their intelligence. I think Ibos would struggle to build a nation state!

Basically, I think the Edos are the biggest achievers in Nigeria due to their size and the quality of people they have produced. However, you will never see them make noise about it. And their culture is the richest.

My guy, you're miles' lot, too savvy.

If they like let them braggs or cry or jump to Atlantic Ocean, the Naijaphobia syndrone in their blood wil KILL them one good. To be honestt I dont like saying thigs when it comes to Nigeria and Ghania issue because I see no reason talking about Ghana to be honest I mean no reason at ALL they are not the type and dont worth it as a matter of fact I dont conside them as anything more a slowpoke, silly, lazy, nose divers, inferiority complex living thing, foolish, a white man worshipper, boloks, blocked brain cowards a s s holes.

Don't mind those people called Ghanaians with peripathetic sense of humor.
Recent survey revealed that Ghanaian women are the most unfaithful and morally jejune in the world.
While Nigerian musicians are busy picking up all available awards in the musical industries , their sullen ghanaian counterparts are busy buttlicking our musicians. Nigerian ladies are picking up varied Beauty accolades , while their ghanaian counterparts are into nudity show of shame and meretriciuosness.

Nigerians seem to be a bit jealous of Ghanaians....

How come?
Please save us barbarousness and preposterous viles about Ghana. Tell us where your nebulous country called Ghana
surpass Nigeria in all ramifications, viz: Natural resources, human resources,Military potentiality(militarism),Entertainment , music, socio-politico echelon of all walks of life. Your dumb asseveration is just too askance to my liking, going by your jejune and obstreperous sensibility.
I like people to utter in order to alter, given that, Nigeria can't be compared with your nitwit country called Ghana. Never come here to utter gibberish and guacherie. I am not among those on Nairaland whose integrity could be juxtaposed to stupidity and preemptive fallacies. In football, where was your askance country when Nigeria was voted as the African 2nd best footballing country of the century?
