Aye aye, none's an island of knowledge o, we all are learners/lamidis/latifas till we die o... Let us country boot please...
Ya, I wanna deal on some scary vocabularies these days ones that when pronounced you may lose your front teeth if not all o... Bewareeeeeeee!!!...

Koyaanisqatsi - (n) nature out of balance, life unbalanced that you need a new one...

I think a good synonym is - razzle-dazzle, higleddy-pigleddy,awry...etc...

I think a gulder example or usage of the jaw-breaking word's: The financial life of this nation keeps looking koyaanisqatsi day by day dew to persistent internal insurrection by those killers in the north east...
Or
My present life being koyaanisqatsi, I found it odd to propose to her...

Form your own examples... Adios...

Ago, since, for.

You use ‘ago’ to say how much time before now something happened. You are counting back from today.e.g I went to Sambisa 2 days ago and I came back in apiece... wink
This whale lived millions of years ago.

You use ‘since’ to refer to the starting point of time that has passed.
We have been discussing giving in completely since last night isn't it Shekau?

For, is all about a specific time most importantly used when figure (1/9) is to be used to discribe or tell of a stretch in time...
We have been doing a serious deliverance for Shekau for 7 weeks, but still, no sign of change, God help us. wink

Since the word 'neither' is used that show it is only referring to one of them and not both of them. So, 'is' is the correct answer

ya, he got it right... Why?... In english law, whenever we have OR or NOR in a sentence where we have double subjects but whereby a subject must be chosen, then we choose the noun or the personal pronoun in the front of the OR or NOR in the said sentence... So in that situation, since" I" is what's in da front of OR, and in the present tense, the word or the verb that should fill up the blank space has to be a plural verb, ie... AM, though, it functions singularly,but it's considered a plural verb... So, I AM is the right thing...
