juman: As far as I'm concerned, if I have the options of moving to U K Canada or U.S I bet united states will not be my first two choices. I just pity Nigerians who gamble their money away trying to get a visitor or tourist visa. A country where black lives don't matter,where racism is the other of the day and you are never sure that one crazy trigger happy teenager will not enter where you are to use people practise shooting lessons not forgetting the great hatred other countries have for them. Arrogant country. 1 Like |

Toks2008:That shows you don't have a clue about what you are talking about. All Americans born in or outside of America have inalienable rights. So speak about something else. We have a Black President who happens to be the son of an African man who came to US for education. So with your vacuous mind, only whites are real Americans.

Lucasbalo: Apparently you are still deluded...thinking blacks have same rights in the states like whites...continue to fool yourself. I'm still waiting to see a protest where people carry placards that "white lives matter" Even Obama agreed to the fact that blacks are treated unfairly so stay their and continue to believe in the paper equality. Below is the speech made by Obama after the shooting of 2 black men. —President Barack Obama said early Friday morning that the police shooting deaths of two black men in Louisiana and Minnesota should trouble all Americans and reflect deep-seated racial disparities in the U.S. criminal justice system. “The data shows black folks are more vulnerable to these kinds of incidents,” Mr. Obama said in remarks from the Warsaw Marriott after arriving in Poland for a North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit. “We have seen tragedies like this too many times.” “There’s a big chunk of our fellow citizenry that feels as if because the color of their skin they’re not being treated the same,” he added. “And that hurts. And that should trouble all of us.” It was a rare scene for the president and he practically held his emotion in check so please tell me another thing I don't know.... As long as you are black whether you were born in U.S or not, you can never be treated same way. |

Police Officer That Choked Eric Gardner To Death Cleared By Grand Jury. by Lucasbalo (m ): 6:32am On Dec 04 , 2014 Scary thing happening in US . Open season on blacks. The scary thing about this case is that it was videotaped by a passerby. With all the video evidence and Eric shouting (I can't breathe). The police officers kept choking and stomping on him and his death was ruled a homicide due to strangulation. Scary time for blacks in US as police officers are given green light to do bodily harm to blacks and they would not be indicted. https://www.nairaland.com/2028046/police-officer-choked-eric-gardner So why on earth are you arguing with me on this obvious fact? na wah for you o.

AnusOdourInhaler: Thanks brother. The most pathetic twist is their visa application process...as I learnt the B2 visitor and tourist visa denial can not be appealed which is mot so in the case of U.K and Canada and worst of all is that the consular officers only rely on psychology to grant you the visa talking about how you are able to convince them without checking your supporting documents... Is this not a scam? that is why terrorists gain entrance into the country as they are trained to be confident and smart.. This goes to show how dumb the American system is in general because despite the supposed smartness of the consular officers people still go and remain in the states and just 4 terrorists were able to travel to U.S to cripple America on September 11. I am a politician and when i assume a position of Authority I will tell America to their face that they are the greatest scammer of all time taking over 50k in visa fee from each intending Nigerian traveller to the state on B2 category and at the end will just refuse them simply because they failed to "convince" them they have a strong ties to their country even when they have valid documents showing true intent. Everything is wrong with that country except the attention we still give them cos of our crazy devalued naira...there are better European countries than the GOD forsaken America. 3 Likes |

Toks2008:This is very true, the Americans care less about anybody if you're not a white American.. What's still baffling me is how our brothers are behaving once they are granted citizenry.. They feel like deleting everything associating them to Nigeria, because they found a new County. Thinking that, they will be treated just as the same, while forgetting even those whose ancestors were slaves their are not treated better... Everything is wrong with that country, and the worse thing is that, they will ensure we remain underdeveloped.. |
Re: American Politics Lounge - Donald Trump Is US President-Elect ! by Nobody: 10:55am On Nov 19, 2016 |
Toks2008:I feel your pain But the reason why you pay N50k in visa fees, and can't be refunded and can't appeal a denial of visa, is because the US Supreme Court has held in several cases that foreigners residing outside the US aren't entitled to the Due process protections of the US constitution. The US visa policies could be reviewed in a way to enable applicants recover the visa fees paid. But with Republicans controlling Washington for at least the next 2 years, I doubt there would be a softening of the rules. 1 Like |

ValerianSteel: Good to know. Good point. Putin will always be an American problem.16 of our intelligence agencies except the FBI came out with the same conclusion that Russia was interfering with our election process.Now the head of the NSA says Russia manipulated the election in a conscious state sanctioned effort to undermine American democracy. Those your intelligence agencies you mentioned were only chorusing a Hillary Clinton based - theory. Their claims lack substance. Where is the evidence that Russia manipulated the elections? And how did it manipulated the elections? The truth is, they knew quite well that Russia did no shite concerning the American elections. Anything that will paint Russia black in the face of the global order, is always a welcomed thought in the US establishment. Its even on record that some US big shots have said that creating conflicts with Russia is GOOD FOR BUSINESS. You can imagine! Therefore, everything they have said during and after the elections are just bogus claims. You think a WHOLE number of 16 intelligence bodies will have concrete information regarding Russia's interference in the US elections, and you think they will sit on top of it? Think! they shot themselves on the foot by deciding to blast and connect Putin with Trump instead of campaign based on real issues. And by so doing, they inadvertently made Trump more popular. For the people saw through the maze of propaganda and voted the right choice, just as it happened in Brexit where Cameron was busy campagning against Russia instead of on why they should remain in the EU. At the end, both fell. You cannot fool all of the people all of the time. We do not share the same values with Russia,we are a democracy,Russia isn't.We have nothing in common except big bad nukes I guess.Russia is not our friend and only a fool like Donald would believe that Russia is a friend to the United States. If Russia that operates a presidential system, with an electoral system where the majority elects the representatives, isn't a democracy, but the US with an electoral system where the minority elects the president, as against the interest of the majority, is what is called democracy; then the word "democracy" has lost its true meaning. The naked truth is that, with the EC system, America is the only undemocratic democracy in the world. The US was never a true democracy. That's a fact. Yeah. The EC system must be killed, then we can talk about America being a democracy. Till then, Russia is the least of your worry. The establishment should be your real worry. 3 Likes |

ayoolanr:May your shriveled phallus be tossed about by drugged puppies! A misogynist is a hater of women and derives pleasure in their pain - a sadist. Trump has never hidden his love for women; he doesn't key into the much-touted "equality" mantra - like most men - but he loves women all the same. His DAUGHTER and WIFE - amongst other women - have been at the forefront of his campaign and transition process, even helping to formulate policies like paid maternal leave.

Reading some of the posts I can't help but noticed that some folks think that US is the best place on earth. Smh. Anyways my only prayer is that Trump comes true for the average American on the street. Those at the lower end of the economic leader are my major concern, a country were majority of her citizen has to roll in debt just to get a college degree, a system were someone has to pay through their nose to get the best medical cover etc. It riles me up when I talk about the pains of an ordinary Americans. Hilary and co had their way and they blew it, it is time the cry babies accepted this election for what it is and support the president elect. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Lucasbalo: Stop quoting me out of context. I never said Trump won the popular vote. Go back and read my post again. I was asking Stanesh a question if Trump actually won the popular vote, and he said yes, based on the late countings coming in from the last two states that were yet to be counted... Which turns out to be on the contrary. On Putin, I don't even need to argue that with you. Most of you down here are glued to your paid TV stations that overwhelmingly consist of MSM outlets that are always spinning stories, the MSM that mislead the bunch of you on the just concluded elections. Even Missy89 was forced to admit that the media failed the people big time. Therefore, on Russia, people like you can be forgiven. But if you really want to know about Putin's views by Americans, just go to American own blogs and social media forums and see the comments sections for yourself. Facts don't lie. Just go to sites like zerohedge, whatreallyhappened, thetruthseeker, patriotrising, Washingtonpost, and many more. Even huffingtonpost is finding it hard to keep down the overwhelming numbers of Americans that continue to wake up to reality, talking good about the man the MSM so much despised. Ask yourself, why did the US government censored Putin's speech in America after he delivered it at the UN annual general meeting last year? If they're not afraid of the revelations he made and the fact that they are aware of his increasing charismatic presence in the minds of many Americans, then WHY did they CENSORED the speech, preventing ordinary Americans access to it? I demand an answer! In fact, let me tell you that, the moment the MSM chose to demonized Putin, especially after the Ukraine brouhaha, the eyes of most people in the west started opening up to the truth. And by the time the American Media brought him into the US elections, for the fact that Trump refused to toe the Hillary confrontational line, thereby blasting Trump for being a Putin stooge, it was clear a shock was imminent because, by so doing, THEY ACTUALLY MADE PUTIN THE MORE POPULAR IN THE US, and as a result, TRUMP GOT EVEN MORE SUPPORT from the people by the simple logic that, if the establishment is overwhelmingly in hatred of a candidate that admires Putin, then that candidate must be a fear factor to the establishment. This was exactly what happened during Brexit when Cameron was playing the "its Russia that would benefit" card, instead of arguing sensibly on why Britain should remain in the EU. The Brits saw through the facade and the thousands of comments that followed in their major newspapers and websites, was a glaring fact showing admiration for Putin and their own awakening. At the end, it was Cameron that got kicked out. The Americans saw the same thing too and they followed suit. Nobody is buying that Putin hate bullshite anymore. Another thing that made Putin the more popular among Britons and Americans was the entrance into Syria. Most Americans knew that their government has a penchant for overthrowing other regimes since the world began. A lot of them have lost relatives, neighbors and friends to numerous American senseless and false pretext based wars. The Iraqi war is still very fresh in the minds of many. Thus, when Russia entered the Syria dragon, many Americans hailed the move, not because they loved Putin or Russia, but because they loath the establishment that has caused them a great deal of pain. Therefore, anyone that would give them a run for their money, is always welcomed. More like, the enemy of my enemy is my friend! Only that you will never get to know how much the name of Putin had become a household name on the front pages of american Newslines. But the Trump victory confirmed the fact that, Americans do not hate Putin the way the MSM covens touted him. Even before the elections, a great picture of Putin was hanged on a great bridge in New York. Even Obama and Cameron didn't have such great reverence from their own people. Lucas, the man is a household name in the US, all courtesy of the MSM who think they were destroying him and Trump. But as it later turns out, they were only destroying their own image and credibility. Again, you're quoting me out of context. I don't insult people. I didn't say you and your Paddies were living on food stamps. I only stated the reality that here in Nigeria, we don't have welfare packages like you guys, but will survive. Am not a jingoist but a patriotic realist. Nigeria is corrupt and we are currently dealing with that. But tell ya country to also return our stolen money, we don't have to beg for it. And she should stop frustrating our efforts to fight boko Haram by blocking our weapons purchase. Till then, and with many more reasons, the criticisms must continue. 6 Likes 1 Share |
