na dem cause am na
someone already has a pending case of stealing
una go give am stewardship again
how can you leave a tuber of yam for a goat to watch?
do u think it would be safe?

and these people did not act like Christians (Christ-like)
Jesus would not have beaten this man to a pulp
He would have said, if there is any of you that has not done something worse than this, beat this man!
they sure would have dispersed
