The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counsels President Muhammadu Buhari and leaders of his dying All Progressives Congress (APC) to apologize to Nigerians for their misrule and start getting ready for APC’s fizzling before 2023, instead of begging for an undeserved place in history.  The party says President Buhari’s plea to history shows a personal apprehension in confirmation of the failure of his administration and party, APC.  His comment on history, when the residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) paid him a Christmas visit, demonstrated that the APC has come to the end of its journey and would soon be committed to the dustbin of history.  The PDP recalls that Mr. President had earlier, in the National Executive Committee  (NEC) meeting of the APC expressed fears over his party's inevitable fate. His appeal to history cannot change APC's trajectory to extinction before the 2023 general election. The party notes that the fact that the public is already di...

RESTAURANT IN NEW YORK GETS GOVERNMENT APPROVAL TO SELL HUMAN FLESH AS MEAT Where else but New York City? A newly opened restaurant within the city limits is boasting the nation’s first license to serve human flesh on the menu. The restaurant, simply called SKIN, received a license after petitioning the state and federal governments over laws against cannibalism. “As a species, we are at the top of the food chain, and the only meat left to tackle was other humans,” said SKIN owner Mario Dorcy, a 4-star Michelin chef. “We battled long and hard to be able to serve human meat in our restaurant, and the government finally conceded that were were in the right.” Dorcy says that he has been fighting cannibal ordinance laws for over 10 years, and was finally given the green-light after he promised that the meat that was used would only come from people who had donated their bodies specifically to his restaurant, knowing full well that they would be eaten.    “We have to keep meticulou...

If accent is taught, fake will be the end product. A number of schools employ diction teachers who have no idea of what elocution and enunciation is about. Some of them are school leavers or undergraduates while some are graduates with no relevant  academic background to English Language. These teachers muddle up, add their own flavour 'tongue twisting and nasal accent' and then transfer it to their pupils. The pupils will give you a 'sing song' accent eventually. Little wonder some school owners ask many times, why don't 'we all' have a conventional way of pronouncing English words? Parents on the other hand  do not know any better. All they want is their children to sound foreign. Teaching accent is not the goal. It is simply understanding the science of English phonetics. If you articulate English sounds correctly, place stress on the right syllable, use the right intonation, pronounce words and speak correctly, practice and master these, you will sound...

The Independent National Electoral Commission on Monday said that results of the 2019 general elections were not transmitted electronically to its server, stressing that the Commission only experimented the technology during some staggered elections held in 2018.  The Commission said that the clarification was necessary because of rising controversies on the transmission of 2019 Presidential Election results from states to the INEC server.
