English language is a language we mostly use in Nigeria when communicating with other people of different languages. It is good that we know the rules of English, and abide by it. Many people believe that we don't need to learn it because we have out local languages, but the truth is that we need to learn every part of it, so that we can communicate without much errors.  Here are some of the mistakes we make and the correct form of it: 1. Advise and Advice : Advise is a verb while Advice is a noun. Example. Don't say, I have an advise for you, but say, I have an advice for you.  2. Between and Among : Between is when you are referring to two persons while among is when you are referring to more than two persons.  3. Compliment and Complement:  Compliment is when you are saying something nice, like you look good: thanks for your compliment. While Complement means added to. Eg: I will wear glasses to complement my looks.  4. Stationary and Stationery : Stationery is writing mater

English might be our official language but it is not our native or indigenous language, this is why making mistakes is compulsory. But it is always good that when we notice some of our mistakes we tend to correct it so that it doesn't take place in the future. This is because when those people that originally own this language hear you say some of these things, they might think you are an uneducated person while you are. So to avoid this, it is best that you know the correct way some simple English words and phrases are used. So in today's lecture, my main focus is on one phrase which is commonly used in almost every part of the country and that is  "I slept by 9pm" . Most people think that this phrase is right but it is completely wrong. The correct thing to say is "I went to bed by 9pm"  the reason why you should put it in this manner is because you only know when you go to bed to take your sleep, but you don't know that exact time you doze

As the 2023 General election is fast approaching, some Nigerian Pastors are coming out to predict on who they believe will climb the country's number one seat of power.  The head pastor of Doersnation International Church in Akure, Prophet Rev Shalomkelvin Akinbo, has become the latest pastor to deliver his own prophecy concerning the general elections. In a two-minute long  video clip , the Akure based pastor said in confidence that former governor of Rivers state and the current Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi will take over from Buhari as the next president. He confidently said that nothing will stop the minister from being Nigeria’s next president except death. He also told his members that they can pray to God to change Amaechi if they do not want him as their next president. Hear him "I am telling you now who is going to be Nigeria's next president. I have never spoken to you like this before. You may decide to go and pray whether to change it or talk to God ab

 There are a few things to keep in mind while referring to yourself as the "first born" in your family: This manner, it is both formal and intelligible at the same time. 1. Don't say " I am the last born," as in the first revision. Saying " I am the last kid in the family" will help it sound more official. 2. Do not use the frequent, but incorrect, phrase "I saw your missed calls." "I missed your calls" is the proper phrase to use. 3. Say: Let's say the grace. Don't Say: "Let's share the grace."  This is a typical phrase among teachers in our secondary schools, but it's incorrect. 4. Don't say, "I'd like to get my hair shaved," which is a familiar refrain, but is incorrect.  You should use the correct phrase "I want my hair cut" or "I want my hair trimmed" instead. 5. Avoid using the phrase "Eze has not matured," as this is completely incor

Why did Football banned? Let’s see.. Unstoppable Rise of Football.. During the middle ages (14th Century England), since anyone can join in the games and there were very few rules, medieval football often went out of hand and ended in riots. Playing on the streets also caused trouble to residents and merchants. These forced rulers to issue decrees banning the sport. However, it has already become so popular that its playing was not stopped at all.

Enugu State (Igbo: Ȯra Enugu) is a state in the South-East geopolitical zone of Nigeria, bordered to the north by the states of Benue and Kogi, Ebonyi State to the east and southeast, Abia State to the south, and Anambra State to the west. The state takes its name from its capital and largest city, Enugu. Enugu State is among the states where a change of leadership must take place in 2023. This is because of the outgoing governor, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is serving his last term of four years as the helmsman of the state having assumed office on May 29, 2015.
