@RandleLewis14 Bruh, that cultural aspect that you "asided" gangan was what drove us here
If you had come up with the competence conversation first, it would have made complete sense. But no. You chose the path of Omoluabi.
Now be an Omoluabi and just dead this conversation. T for thanks
FR!!!! Na set up
But low-key, she's actually unintelligent because everybody has been asking questions in English, e reach your turn, you switched, IN AN OFFICIAL SETTING FGS
@RandleLewis14 Again, what you responded to was the fact that a question was asked in yoruba.
Other countries of the world are far ahead, but we're here talking about competence based of language and omoluabiness
It is well!
@RandleLewis14 I'm not disputing that there are better candidates with better track records. The point of the discussion in the first instance was why she chose to ask a question in Yoruba, when no one did that
Deciding who governs you based on language alone shows where our priorities lie
@RandleLewis14 I agree that we can have both. But let's be factual here. That question was a jab. At the end of the day, we all know what we're all doing sha
@RandleLewis14 Okay,but How's that going to solve the problems in Lagos.
The people that are can speak the language fluently, what have they actually done to improve the life of Lagosians
When the next flood happens, speak yoruba to it
@RandleLewis14 Even if the question was about culture and heritage, why wait till it was GRV's turn. Why didn't any body else think it PROPER to ask questions in Yoruba.
C'mon now
@scanvenger_ But everyone has been interacting in English. Plus, it's been aired to a number of viewers which include non-ypruba speakers.
I didn't see anyone asking others question in Yoruba.

I was deeply disturbed by the recent insulting and disparaging remarks directed at Apostle Arome Osayi.
Let me be clear: Apostle Arome deserves better.
Disagreement with his position on matters of faith or society is legitimate. Challenge what he said. Examine his reasoning. Bring your evidence. Make your argument.
But critique addresses the position.
Insult attacks the person.
Critique says, โThis is where I believe you are wrong.โ
Insult abandons the substance altogether and reaches for personal abuse, ridicule and matters that have absolutely nothing to do with the argument.
No. We must never normalise that.
Apostle Arome Osayi has spent years labouring in the Gospel, teaching Scripture, raising people and serving the body of Christ. Such a man should not suddenly become material for digital ridicule because something he said provoked disagreement.
โHonor all people.โ 1 Peter 2:17.
And this is bigger than Apostle Arome.
Something is fundamentally wrong when men and women who have given their lives to serving God can be casually insulted, mocked and subjected to degrading commentary for digital entertainment, while we call it boldness.
It is not boldness.
It is not superior reasoning.
And it certainly is not critique.
And let it also be said: there are consequences to speaking in this manner against ministers of God. The digital space does not erase such realities. A screen does not suspend the principles of honour and responsibility that govern our words.
The offending personal remarks should be retracted immediately and an unequivocal apology offered to Apostle Arome.
This is one of those moments where the right thing should not be complicated: withdraw the personal remarks, acknowledge that the manner of engagement crossed the line, and apologise plainly and publicly.
No qualifications.
No doubling down.
No attempt to turn the apology into another argument.
No long debate is required.
No further spectacle is necessary.
Correct what was said and move on.
You do not strengthen an argument by abandoning the argument and attacking the person.
And no matter how modern, digital or outspoken our generation becomes, honour has not expired.
Apostle Arome deserves better.
So do all who genuinely labour in the Gospel.
