Chukazu:Expect to see the same during CAF awards because it's all the national team coaches and captains that does the voting. The only one Victor moses would have won wasthe BBC African player of the year which Nigerians refused to allow him to win. With the type of population we have and if will all voted for him and leave sentiments he would have won, the problem with Nigeria is Nigerians and nothing else. |

Education / Effective Use Of 'has/have Or Had' by mistalexzy: 1:14pm On Nov 12, 2017 |
I find it irritating when I see how alleged graduates find it difficult to effectively use has, have, had in sentences. Has, have, had give many people a lot of headache. Proper handling of the words puts the user's knowledge of tenses to test. Has, have and had can perform the function of a main verb. When they do so, had is simply the past tense of has or have: He has a book. ( HE still has it.) He had a book. ( He does not have it again.) You have two cars. ( You still have them.) You had two cars. ( You don't have them again.) Therefore, whenever you want to express the present tense in the above context, freely use has or have. But when you want to use past tense, use had. Another major difference between them manifest when they are being used as auxiliary verbs in participle form. |

Jarus:You also failed to ask her if working at her alma mata was want she wanted initially, she just wanted that has a plan B, you don't go into teaching as a second option you have to have the zeal to impact knowledge. Secondly you don't know maybe she is in the category of those first class graduates that are only good with theories and her poor when it comes to praticals. Thirdly, it's rude ti refer to the school as been a third teir school there are some graduates of the sole called first tier schools who are not as sound as the graduates of the so called third teir schools. 1 Like |

The best graduating student in my set works in his department he even did his NYSC there. |

Education / How To Beatify Your Writing Using The Right Synonyms by mistalexzy: 8:44am On Jun 01, 2017 |
Synonyms are words with similar or same meanings, which can be used interchangeably. For example, instead of saying I have to go now, I can say I have to leave now. So go and leave are synonyms. But a definition such as the above can be problematic. They argue that there are no two words that mean the same thing in a context. This is what happens in case of words like go, leave and proceed. While we can say I am eager to go on holiday, it will be wrong to say am eager leave on holiday. This is why some scholars prefer a definition like ' a synonym is a word or phrase with similar meaning with another word, which can also be used in place of it'. It should be noted that a phrase can also be a synonym for another word. Whatever the case, the words generally have similar meanings but each usually has areas where it fits best. Generally, synonyms helps us in so many ways: 1. Using the most appropriate words A lot of people both young and old get into trouble when speaking or writing because of wrong use of words that doesn't fit a particular contexts. A knowledgeable person is the one who uses the best word at the right time. You have to consider appropriateness in terms words that suit prevailing situation, emotion, place, calibre of people present e.t.c. Some words are more general than others, while some are more precise. For example, kill and murder are synonymous that you may want to freely interchange them. But, technically speaking, it's the law court or police that can determine whether a killing is a murder or manslaughter. Also, children, kids, minors, fruit of the wombs, babies, offspring are synonyms yet they can replace each other at all times: My friend has four children. My friend has four kids. My friend has four minors. My friend has four offspring. Which of the four description will your friend prefer? Am sure she will prefer the first one. 2. Dealing with repetition A good knowledge of synonyms will help you deal with repetition. A lot of people bore ther listeners or readers by unnecessary repetition within a sentence, passage or paragraph. It's a sign of immaturity that synonyms can help you overcome. Popular actress, Moji Olaiya, has died. She died penultimate tuesday after a protracted illness. The death has saddened many of her fans. Some of them described the death as a big loss. Popular actress Moji Olaiya, has died. She passed away penultimate tuesday after a protracted illness. Her death has saddened many of her fans. Some of them described the passage as a big loss. The second paragraph surely sounds better. It shows a mastery of the language unlike what you have in the first where died and death are repeated. 3. Simplicity The simpler, the better... when dealing with synonyms, note that some are more simple than the others. And once they (the simpler) satisfy the principle of appropriateness, go for them. She was attacked by the irate youths. She was attacked by the angry youths. The physician attended to the man. The doctor attended to the man. There was a conflagration at the mall yesterday. There was a fire outbreak at the mall yesterday. In each pair, the second expression is preferred because of the simplicity of the synonyms used. |
Education / Re: Protest At UNILAG Over Rustication, Others by mistalexzy: 7:46am On Mar 07, 2017 |
The university management will not tolerate students protest, but will want government to tolerate there's . Am sure if some unilag lecturers where sacked because they embark on strike ASSU would have been shouting like babies that is been denied breast milk. 10 Likes |
