Crime › Re: Appeal Court Upholds 490-Year Jail Term For Ex-NEXIM Bank MD, Orya by OddFellow: 4:53am On Sep 10
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're gradually becoming smart, "Mr. Forte." I deliberately made those aberrations to test both the capacity of the first guy I quoted and you respectively. So, it's good that you've shown some flash of smartness. I might soon consider you for a position of my special assistant on domestic affairs.

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.

English may not be his "fortress", but judging by your comment, it may not exactly be your forte either.
AbosedeFalade:
English isn't your fortress. He'll be out from prison in less than 5 years from now.

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.

Politics › Re: You Are A Settler In Plateau, Not An Indigene – Group blasts Sheikh Jingir by OddFellow: 9:51am On Aug 16
MrsAyomide:
I was surprised when I heard that the Islamic terrorist lives/from from Platue..

Nothern Christians are very weak because they have been subjugated to submission politically by Islamic people. Some of them don’t just have options anymore.. Only few of them are still speaking out, and they are like lonely voice in the wilderness..

Tell me why a Muslim would make such provocative statement in a Christian state like Platue, and still boasted about it the following day and still moved on as if nothing happened ?

Nothern Christians sef !
.

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:
of course you and i know that american companies have a higher standard in terms of manufacuring standard (example the beoing company). It may not be the best but it doesnt mean the chinese donot produce quality products. China produces a large range of products in terms of various factors including quality. This helps them to adapt to specific demands, markets and budgets... Many of the products you call american products, are actually manufactured in China for american companies, with American standard. If you dont understand i can explain better.
Okay, I understand you. Thanks.
Are you still in the solar business (buying and installing) ?

a few month ago i said that china is taking over in manufacturing and sales of morden tech, like solar technology, robotics and even automobile... And Neoslavery activists wanted to chew my head off... Sometime ago i did a middle man deal, to buy and install solar panels. I realised american batteries and panels are damn expensive compared to Chinese ones. At the dyin miunite i had to cancel an old order, to buy from Alibaba. Even after the shipping and logistics i made alot of cash, cost was cut for all parties.. Very soon chinese phones, computers and other will properly dominate the world market... When this happens it would be furkin difficult for that trend to change. If you know how chinese products flood the market and get addictive you'll understand...
In your unbiased opinion, whose companies manufacture better(more durable and efficient) solar panels and batteries - American or Chinese?
