Ah, I see. So the “fortress” and the 2021 sentencing were deliberate errors designed to test me? How convenient. 🤣 I'll gladly accept the “Mr. Forte” title, but I'll respectfully decline the position of Special Assistant. I wouldn't want to spend my days explaining the difference between an arraignment and a sentencing to my principal. AbosedeFalade: |
You wrote an entire paragraph answering a question I never asked you. My comment wasn't about whether Orya's sentence was concurrent or not. I was simply pointing out that the word you were looking for in your original comment was “forte,” not “fortress.” That was the entire point of my response, which you somehow managed to miss. Besides, your free lecture is wrong! Indeed, the 49 sentences run concurrently, meaning his effective sentence is 10 years. But he was arraigned, not sentenced in 2021. You're mixing up arraignment in 2021 with his sentencing in 2026. The article clearly states that he was convicted and sentenced on February 5, 2026. So his 10 year sentence began this 2026, not in 2021. [quote author=AbosedeFalade post=140591138][/quote] |
English may not be his "fortress", but judging by your comment, it may not exactly be your forte either. AbosedeFalade: |
I see where you’re coming from. However, have you considered the possibility that you may be majoring in the minor and minoring in the major? Yes, the manner in which a governor conducts himself in public matters, but surely it pales in importance beside the substance and quality of his governance. VBCampaign: |
MrsAyomide:. Weak this, submission that... I've never quite understood why you southerners have this tendency to call Northern Christians weak. I only hope that, placed in the same situation, you'd have done better than they have. If you think this is only a Northern Christian problem, then you're being shortsighted. You're like someone standing on the dry end of a ship, calling the people at the flooded end weak for not being strong enough to stop the water, without realising that their end taking on water before yours doesn't mean your end is safe. FYI, what is going on isn't Northern Christians vs. herdsmen, Muslims or Fulanis. It is actually Northern Christians vs. the FG. The FG has not only repeatedly failed to protect these guys, but in several cases has also provided overt and covert support to their attackers. When natives are being murdered, there's inaction; but when they attempt to retaliate, the state's machinery is swiftly brought to bear. These people are dying because they've refused to surrender their land and way of life and have dared to fight back. But for this resistance, there might not be any christians left on the Plateau today. I've stayed here long enough to see first-hand the government's complicity and the support these jihadists receive. I'd genuinely like to know what you think you would do differently under the same conditions. Would you be able to put up a tenth of the fight these northern christians have put up inspite of the odds? And do you know this Jingir you mentioned moves around with more security than Mutfwang, the sitting governor. I repeat: Jingir moves around with more security than the sitting governor. Why? How is a civilian able to have that level of state protection? Who provides it, on whose authority, and why? And the same goes for the settlements of these attackers and their mosques - all heavily protected. In fact, the main mosque in bukuru has a whole army base next to it, but churches/xtain settlements are not only left without security, but they are routinely searched to ensure they have no weapons (even basic ones like dane guns(. These northern christians need supporrt, not contempt. They've done all they can, they're still doing all they can, and they'll keep doing all they can. In fact, you may be benefiting from their resistance without even realising it. |

nigeriansamurai:Okay, I understand you. Thanks. Are you still in the solar business (buying and installing) ? |
nigeriansamurai:In your unbiased opinion, whose companies manufacture better(more durable and efficient) solar panels and batteries - American or Chinese? |
