A corpse ordinarily has no life and should therefore be allowed to rest in peace. Some corpses would, however, not be allowed to rest in perfect peace as a consequence of the evil they perpetrated while revelling in dishonour among the living. Such were the fuel subsidy scam corpses, which were buried in spectacular but shameless fashion during former President Goodluck Jonathan’s era and subsequent administrations in Nigeria until President Bola Tinubu angrily ended the carnage of fraud on May 29, 2023, during his presidential inauguration. Last week, Long Range examined a quote (author unknown) about a nation that rewards…

They are like ‘choose’ and ‘chose’ as well as ‘lie’ and ‘lay’. Handling them carelessly will invoke errors, especially the lie, lay, laid, and lain ‘gang’. ‘Loose’ and ‘lose’ should not be mixed up. Where you want to say you don’t want to lose something, you shouldn’t say you don’t want to loose it. Where you mean something is loose, ‘lose’ becomes odd.
