Christian Treatise: Satan is a Fool

Image
  This is the continuation of a debate in the comment section of a YouTube video which shows Apostle Arome Osayi stating that Satan should not be called a fool. I completely disagree. This is part of my biblical treatise to support my position. Satan is a Fool The Book of Proverbs is replete with the descriptive attributes of a fool. There are also a number of verses in the Book of Ecclesiastes. Once you study this, you will be adequately armed with a robust definition of the word “fool” from a biblical perspective. With this definition, you can see if it applies to the Devil. Let us remember that the Bible says in the Book of 2 Timothy 3:16: “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” As you read this, please note that the words “folly” and “foolishness” are synonyms – that is they mean the same thing. Here are some biblical descriptions and characteristics of a fool. A fool’s l...

Bad Grammar: Why Do Nigerians Dislike Bobrisky?

Image
  Background NewsMattazz with Princewill TV is a comedic channel with over 5000 subscribers and approximately 1000 uploaded videos. It has evolved into a social commentary channel offering takes on politics, faith and pop culture. My Comments Princewill has set his dictionary aflame. He writes with the recklessness of a person driving without headlights on a stormy night. I have made several posts about his grammar errors. I am sure he is going to churn out more. This sentence is short yet it contains so many elementary errors. It is hard to believe this content creator even bothers with any writing tool or aid. The most obvious problem stems from the fact that a question has been posed but noticeably missing is a question mark. There is also a subject-verb agreement error and poor word choices. The correct form of the title should be: “Why do Nigerians dislike Bobrisky?” “Dislike” can be synonymized with “hate” or any other word that denotes the same thing.

Bad Grammar: Femi Falana and Falz Give Bobrisky a 12-Hour Ultimatum

Image
  Background Daddy Freeze is a retired broadcaster and former radio host who has switched into a fiery content creator and social commentator. He has over 150,000 subscribers on YouTube. In this video, he discusses a trending legal scuffle between Femi Falana, a prominent Nigerian lawyer, his son Falz and Bobrisky, an internet personality. My Comments This is the scrawl of social media’s favourite ersatz scholar. A self-proclaimed polyglot who purports to have studied the Bible in all its original languages, yet is unable to correctly spell a familiar Yoruba name or write intelligibly in English. The correct form of this title could be: "Femi Falana and Falz Give Bobrisky a 12-Hour Ultimatum to Apologise and Retract" Or "Femi Falana and Falz Give Bobrisky 12 Hours to Apologise and Retract"

Bad Grammar: Caller Shares With the Ladies How He Contracted HIV

Image
  Background TVC News is a 24-hour Nigerian news channel based in Lagos, Nigeria. Your View is a daily morning talk show on TVC News. It airs Mondays through Fridays and combines a variety of topics, including lifestyle, politics and trending subjects on social media. The talk show is usually anchored by Morayo Afolabi-Brown along with a bevy of other female co-hosts. The TVC News YouTube channel has 1.2 million subscribers and has posted more than 130,000 videos. My Comments The verb "contacted" is incorrect in this context. The proper verb for acquiring a disease is "contracted," not "contacted." Using "contacted" implies communication rather than the transmission of a disease, leading to confusion. This mistake changes the meaning of the sentence, suggesting that the speaker communicated with the virus rather than became infected with it. There are many other problems with this title. It is structured in a way that implies the caller got t...

The movie features a notable cast, including Bolanle Ninalowo, Juliet Ibrahim, Kunle Remi, Shaffy Bello and Uche Montana. The release date is October 25, 2024. My Comments This is how severe the problem has become. Content creation and decent writing have deteriorated to such an extent that even when the correct title is staring the content creator in the face, the ability to copy it accurately remains an issue. This is the apex of intellectual laziness. There is no other explanation or excuse fo...

Bad Grammar: Come to the Nigerian Foodstuff Market with Me

Image
  Background Summer Aku is registered nurse who lived in Ireland and has relocated to Nigeria. Her YouTube channel is named Summer Aku Vlogs. It has over 200,000 subscribers and she has posted over a thousand videos. My Comments This is another splash of nonsense from this content creator. She is completely unable to string words together and build a coherent sentence or even write a title for her videos. The errors in her titles are only a tip of the iceberg. Her compositions in the YouTube community tab are still as mediocre. She frequently omits words, spells names incorrectly and cannot use punctuation. She is also impervious to correction. I reached out to her on at least one occasion. The deluge of garbage is hard to fathom at this point. It is utterly absurd. The correct form of this title could be: “Come to the Nigerian Foodstuff Market with Me in This Tinubu Era - Summer Aku” Or “Come with me to the Nigerian Foodstuff Market in This Tinubu Era - Summer Aku”

Yet, these errors remind us of how minor grammatical flaws can contam...
