Catholic priest kidnapped in Imo...seems abducting the annointed is becoming more lucrative

 Gunmen


So now , Jidenna would have to get a grip of himself and know that it is not only fair skinned people that get kidnapped. News coming to my desk says An Imo State Reverend father,  Francis Ugoo Egbebu, has been kidnapped by some hoodlums.


 This is not the first time it has happened and little is known as to why kidnappers are fast growing a penchant for kidnapping priests rather than the fair-skinned people our dear Jidenna had erroneously thought.Come to think of it, kidnappers may think that abducting men of God is  in fact more lucrative.


If you follow up my blog post, you perhaps did read the news about the Ekiti state priest that was kidnapped by gunmen. The kidnappers are demanding a ransom of 5million naira and the church has been devastated since the news of the kidnap got to them.

It is apparently not clear as to where the kidnapping took place. some say it happened in Owerri , others say it was Orlu, the community where he was serving. He was last seen Monday Morning.
Let us say our prayers fervently for the rescue of the priest.

Read the details at VANGUARD
Strong feelers from the Catholic Diocese of Orlu, where Rev. Fr. Egbebu is serving, indicated that the ever cheerful priest was last seen driving out of the Parish Monday morning.
Although it was not clear at press time, the exact location where the priest was picked up by the hoodlums, stories making the rounds however indicated that the kidnappers had made an initial contact with close relations of the priest and demanded N5 million ransom.

How to use 'many a' and 'a great deal of' in a sentence. How to pronounce 'impasse'

Good morning KIB  earthlings. Lets get down to brass tacks. Let's look at the use of verbs. Yesterday someone brought a statement to me and enquired if it were correct. 'many a fellow knows the truth' Many a driver ploughs this road daily' 'Many a teacher doesn't know how to  English'. All these sentences are correct. According to Oxford dictionary, Many a: ( formal: always used with a singular noun and a singular verb) means a large number of something. E.g many a young person has experimented with drugs.   So,  don't pluralise anything in the sentence because there is an 'A' already. 'Many a teachers like to flog their students ' is wrong. 'A great deal' How do you use 'a great deal'? A great deal takes a singular verb. E.g A great deal of bananas is planted in the north. 'A great deal' takes a singular verb.  Finally,  the pronunciation of impasse is /'ampa:s/ Not (impas) It's not Enem...

I love all the new students in my class. You guys are awesome by the way. 😀😀 Today. I want to give you a better expression for saying that 'you know something very well'. #Offhead? There is nothing like offhead. 'I know it off head' is wrong. #Offhand? What does offhand mean? It mean without previous thought or consideration. Just like saying 'on the spur of moment' , 'immediately', 'spontaneously'. So, do you just know something offhand? No...not at all. You can say something offhand, do anything offhand but then it seems weird to say ' I know the answer offhand'. It is normal 'to say the answer offhand'. Do you get my drift? People don't know anything spontaneously, rather, they  say what they already know, spontaneously. Now to the final expression #HaveSomethingOffPat? It means to know something or be able to do something perfectly; be perfect master of something . So rather tha...
