If you study English as a second language, this is probably one of those things you were told just to memorize: you say “get in” and “get out of” for a car, taxi, etc. but you say “get on” or “get off” for a bus or train.

But why do we make a distinction? For things like horses and motorcycles, “get on” makes sense, since we are literally on top of it. However, we are physically inside a bus, so why can’t we say “get in a bus?” The rule is:

If you can walk onto it and stand up inside, you say “get on”. If not, you say “get in”

To illustrate, let’s list out some other methods of transportation:
➡️ Get in a car
➡️ Get in a taxi
➡️ Get in a truck
➡️ Get in a van

These are all vehicles we cannot stand up inside (for a truck, we cannot stand up inside the part where we drive; if you’re talking about the back, you could say “get on the truck”)
➡️ Get on a bus
➡️ Get on a train
➡️ Get on an airplane

For all these, you can walk onto them and stand up inside them.

African spirituality waits for no one to come, Our Ancestors Embrace NATURE and Never believe A "Savior" a Clone coming from the Sky to save them" until EURÓPEANS CAME WITH LIES.

Most Religions Embrace the idea of A “Savior” and declare that the world will remain filled with evil until that Savior comes and fills it with goodness and righteousness.

Our problem on this planet is people are expecting an ILLUSI0N to come and solve their problems instead of Them to Solve it by themselves"

BE INFORMED!!!
Rema isn’t being demon!c,
He hasn’t joined the illuminat!
He’s simply representing his culture.

Rema rode the mystical horse to the stage for his O2 performance with the Queen Idia mask like his forefathers did many centuries ago.
The prince of Afrobeats subtly reminding us who he is, half man;half amazing.
Urhuese ‘Vine, may your Ehi never depart from you.

He’s from Edo and he’s doing the most to portray the culture of the Edo people to the world.

Let’s stop demonizing African Culture!!!
