Over 3,000 additional active duty troops will be deployed to the southern US border to bolster security joining the 2,300 troops already there, several defense officials tell CNN. The additional forces will allow the Department of Defense to fulfill a Department of Homeland Security request for assistance that acting Secretary of Defense Pat Shanahan approved earlier this month. President Donald Trump confirmed that additional troops would be sent via a tweet on Thursday.

See this video below and prove Oshiomhole true. Speaking during the Presidential campaign of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state on Wednesday, Oshiomhole said, “I want to remind the people of Cross River that never ever can you forget a Nigerian leader in the person of former President Olusegun Obasanjo who ceded part of Cross River State to Cameroun because he was pursuing a Nobel Peace prize.” “He handed over the Nigerian territory to a foreign country and reduced Nigerians to become refugees. We can never forgive him. Nigeria will never forgive him. “There is no statesman in the modern world that would voluntarily cede part of his territory to a foreign country. “That crime committed by Olusegun Obasanjo… if we are too weak to punish him, history will punish him because no leader gives away his household and sends them to slavery”. Oshiomhole, therefore, urged the people of the Bayelsa to re-elect the president whom he believes will not only succeed in...

Before discussing the ways in which passive sentences are formed, it is expedient to explain the meaning of voice because, passive is one of the voices of verbs. Voice refers to the verb form which shows whether a transitive verb acts or is acted upon. These situations give rise to two voices - Active and Passive .

It is placed in the subjective position. The passive voice shows a situation where the subject is acted upon. It suffers the action indicated by the verb. Example:             - The money was collected by Ali.   English sentences can begin with the subject or object. This is determined by the voice a sentence takes. Voice is the form a verb takes to indicate whe...
