Language as a system of communication consisting of sounds, words and grammar, is human-specific i.e. it is basically about humans.One major fact about language is that , though it is dynamic, its changes must be based on strict observance and adherence to linguistic rules. Whenever languages are in contact, interference is bound to occur at all levels of linguistic description.The ability of an individual to be aware of this interference and not blunder grammatically marks him as having the mastery of the language.

Did you know?

...that the statement "hope you are fine?" is not a question and does not attract a question mark- Hope you are fine.

...that it is wrong to say"I will do my possible best". - I will do my best possible

...that it is wrong to say"the department comprises of three units" - comprises three units.

...that it is wrong to say"raise up your hand" - raise your hand

...that it is wrong to say"I am contemplating on buying a house" -contemplating buying a house.

Eagles Seek Not Yet Repose....

The Super Eagles' victory over the Bafana Bafana of South Africa in yesterday's Mandela Challenge contest, though not an indication that the eagles have arrived, is a huge success and a welcome development in reclaiming and boosting the image of the Eagles as the "Giants of African Football"(Thanks to the hero of the match, Uche nwafor for his double). Nevertheless, both the technical crew members and players should not overstay in the euphoria of celebration and victory.

   The Stephen Keshi led-team should leverage on the victory and the positive image derived from it to prepare for future challenges and prove their critics wrong. One area that must be handled right is the injection of  home-based players into the team now that Keshi seems to have free hands to manage the team.However, this should be done without fear or favour of "the powers that be".

Another important aspect that must not be treated with levity is funding and sponsorship of camping and training sessions by the government.As it is widely agreed upon, FOOTBALL/SOCCER is big business and has a huge return on investment. 

Finally, the eagles should be made to know that the journey to victory has just begun and should remain focused,dogged and determined to extend their reign from Africa to the World.

Let the Eagles Keep Soaring High!
