The driver took my sister and me to the market. ✅
The driver took my sister and I to the market. ❌
Let’s talk about SUBJECT AND OBJECT
A sentence is usually about someone doing something.
The person or thing doing the action is called the subject.
The person or thing receiving the action is called the object.
Example: I kicked the ball.
Who did the kicking?
I (Subject) ✅
What received the action?
The ball (Object) ✅
Another example: The teacher praised me.
Who did the praising?
The teacher (Subject) ✅
Who received the praise?
Me (Object) ✅
Look at this:
My sister and I went to the market. ✅
Me and my sister went to the market. ❌
In the example, “I” and “my sister and I” are doing the action, so they are subjects.
For OBJECT, Use “Me”.
When the action is being done to you, use “me.”
The teacher praised me. ✅
The teacher praised I. ❌
The driver took my sister and me to the market. ✅
The driver took my sister and I to the market. ❌
In this example, “me and my sister” and “me” are receiving the action, so they are objects.
Let me open your eyes to a trick:
If you’re not sure whether to use I or me, remove the other person’s name and test the sentence.
My sister and I went to the market.
Remove “my sister and”:
I went to the market. ✅
Me went to the market. ❌
So the correct sentence is:
My sister and I went to the market. ✅
Let’s try this one:
The driver took my sister and me to the market.
Remove “my sister and”:
The driver took me to the market. ✅
The driver took I to the market. ❌
So the correct sentence is:
The driver took my sister and me to the market. ✅
In summary,
Subject = The person or thing doing the action.
Object = The person or thing receiving the action.
I = Subject ✅
Me = Object ✅
Question: which of these sentence is wrong, and why?

Three major things that the Nigerian government did to the Igbos after the Civil War.
1. The £20 policy.
This completely eroded their wealth and made them poorer, at the time.
2. The indigenization decree.
The Nigerian enterprise promotion decree forced foreign owned companies to sell shares to Nigerians. Hence, the Igbos could not participate in buying shares because they had become poorer due to the £20 policy.
3. The abandoned property Act.
Properties that were owned by Igbos pre-civil war that were abandoned, especially in places like Port Harcourt and Lagos, were confiscated and declared abandoned. This deprived the Igbos of real estate wealth.
56 years later, despite all that happened, the Igbos have risen to enviable heights, and the country cannot survive without them.
End.
@TechnicalBben This is why I don't digest everything tech twitter always boast of, you'll hardly find genuine takes.. The letter had 200k salary but he tweeted 250k for what reason in particular
"Don't Ask Whether Someone Loves You.
Ask Whether They Can Build With You."
Love is easy at the begging or during abundance but
Building requires patience, Building requires sacrifice, Building requires maturity.
Many people want the rewards of partnership.
Fewer people want
"A RELATIONSHIP SHOULD NOT DEPEND ON MONEY TO SURVIVE"
If affection should disappears the moment benefits disappear, it was never affection.
If respect disappears the moment gifts stop coming, it was never respect.
Relationships that are built on transactions eventually collap
"HOW SOMEONE TREATS YOU WHEN YOU HAVE LITTLE TELLS YOU MORE THAN HOW THEY TREAT YOU WHEN YOU HAVE PLENTY."
Success hides many character flaws, money can create temporary loyalty, comfort can create temporary respect
But scarcity reveals the truth.
When resources become limited,
"LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH"
Love is easy when life is easy, anybody can be romantic during good times.
The real test begins when pressure arrives
Bills,
Stress,
Responsibility,
Sacrifice,
That's where relationships reveal their true nature.
Don't just look for someone who loves you,
