CHIKE: "Boo of the Booless", and a fan's 2 cents about his music

Chike is the official boo of the booless , and here is a fan's 2 cents about him. 💝💝💝💝💝    Chike was born January 28, 1993. (My birth year too) he was born and raised in Lagos a.k.a Lasgidi, kogba agidi . The guy has been singing since 2009, guys! He started while in secondary school when he came out top as the best vocalist. Subsequently, he went on to MTN Project Fame in 2015, The Voice Nigeria , and even ventured into acting. Chike has been around for 11 years now. Boo of the booless. Chike has always been the "ladies’ man" since his project fame days.

A Critical Analysis of "A Sandal on the Head" by Kwesi Brew

As a result of this hardship, only the strong, favoured, fortunate and opportune are able to endur

Word Formation and Advertisements

Words are added to the English dictionary constantly, everyday, due to writers giving themselves freedom to capture their thoughts; thus, they take liberty in creating new words. This is due to the fact that the English language is the most spoken language in the world. As a common language used among humans, therefore it calls for users to make words to convey or reveal their meaning so as to express themselves evenly. Human beings do not live in the objective world alone, nor alone in the world of social activity as ordinarily understood, but are very much at the mercy of the particular language which has become the medium of expression for their society  (as cited in Salzmann, 1993, p. 153). Thus, one can sense the importance why new words need to be created. This attitude easily gives English the advantage to have more lexicons than some other languages. There are four different levels of linguistics, and these levels are: phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. The branch
