Background

My Comments

The title could have been improved grammatically in several ways. Foremost is establishing a proper agreement between the subject, “Biggie,” and the verb, “punish.”

Nigerian creators on YouTube have a serious problem understanding how the subject and verb are supposed to harmonize in a sentence.

The verb "punish" has to be in the third person singular form to match the subject "Biggie." That singular form of the verb takes an ‘-es’ at the end.

As such it should be "punishes." 

Also, the inclusion of an article ‘the’ before the word ‘housemates’ would help clarify that the statement is a reference to a particular group of individuals. Properly written posts enhance the readability, precision and professionalism of content put out for the world to consume.

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...

Diddy and Ebuka Look Like Twins in YouTube Thumbnail Pictures

Image
  Background Diddy is a global celebrity currently battling a legal case involving allegations of sexual misconduct. He is portrayed here in the right thumbnail picture of a YouTube video posted by The Breakfast Club. Ebuka is a Nigerian reality TV personality and currently the host of the Big Brother Naija reality TV show. He is seen on the left in the thumbnail of a video posted by the YouTube channel, Showmax. My Comments At first glance, one could easily assume that both Diddy and Ebuka are the same person due to their shared appearance and style. Both men are wearing dark sunglasses, which, when combined with their confident smiles, create a nearly identical visual impression. This resemblance is a testament to how small elements like sunglasses, a smile and similar grooming can make two individuals appear remarkably similar. Though most people don’t want to be compared to Diddy at the moment, both images are still pictorial doppelgangers.

CNN: Donald Trump Posts: ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!’

Image
  Background: Taylor Swift publicly endorsed American Vice President Kamala Harris after the second presidential debate on September 10. An embittered Donald Trump subsequently posted on his social media platform, Truth Social: ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!’ My Comments Donald Trump’s stochastic terror continues. His behaviour, similar to that of a schoolyard bully, has increasingly dangerous consequences. He has now targeted one of the biggest and most celebrated pop stars in the world. This is because she has formally endorsed his political opponent. Donald Trump deserves every iota of denunciation he receives for being such a brutish political figure. He merits condemnation in the harshest words. And he demands complete repudiation at the ballot box in November. America, it is time to wake up, register to vote and send Donald Trump into permanent political retirement. Sidebar: Unfortunately the video is in mono. I could only hear the audio through my right earphone.
