Collin Powell

Get your facts straight.
Colin Powell was not a service chief, he was never the Chief of Army staff of the US army

He was chairman, joint chiefs of staff,,,more like chief of defence staff in Nigeria which is different from chief of Army/Naval/Air staff

Before you come here and say it's because of George Floyd he was chosen know Trump Nominated him in February a long time before Black live matter protest

So many idiots in this forum will not see it this way. Many of them are still voluntarily making themselves pawns in the hands of racist who call themselves Democrats. Truths is no Democrat president has ever believed blacks are good enough for such sensitive positions. Colin Powell was nominated by a Republican, now Charles Brown is appointed and confirmed by an overwhelming Republican president and Senate respectively. It's under a Republican president Trump that we have the lowest black unemployment in the US. Republicans have always believed in the equality of humans.
Democrats are the ones who voted in majority against the abolition of slavery in America. Now so many blacks all over the world are being continually deceived by the same Democrats who parade themselves as being sympathetic to the cause of blacks. It shall not be well with them. Black man wake up.

Ok..thought Collin Power was..but it seems he was just the joint chief of staff ( our own equivalent of chief of defense staff ) and then the secretary of state...and National security adviser..

So this is correct..

Congratulations to Gen Brown

Yes you are equally correct because at least you made it clear that this promotion was not the highest rank a black has attained in the defense establishment. A joint chief is definitely above a service chief so Powell still holds the highest rank a black has attained. For the Brown guy is the highest rank in the airforce

I am a very strong supporter of black lives matter and I hate racism in all ramifications.................................... BUT when I sat back and watch the video in which Floyd was killed, something just tell me that in this whole murder episode, something is not just right..,......... If you watch carefully you will realize that the senior police officer intention & purposely wanted to kill Floyd, he press his knee on his neck and then relax there comfortably despite the plea from the junior officer to roll him (Floyd) over............................... And there was a person who video the whole episode without blinking and he wasn't even interrupted by any officer before and after the man's death and the camera man was not even hiding to film, but was right there in front of the policemen filming...................... And I just discovered that the policeman and Floyd were co-workers (as a bouncer).


I am not investigator or acted in that capacity before but something is fishy about this,, this might be more than racism, there might be a larger picture here ........................................... Come to think of it, this is an election time and this is a Democrat state with a state controlled police force.
We all know that Floyd had criminal past and he is a former porn star, a perfect foil and a perfect choice of target to kill a get away with by his friends/police officer........ And we also know that if you kill a black man live on camera, there will be a national racism protest,..... We also know that this is a time of pandemic and everyone is free and there will all be at home, no school, no work, job losses, unemployment etc a perfect foil for national protest and disaster...................... with all this points, I don't know what you feel oooooo, but I feel that there is a strong conspiracy here by politicians who carried out a perfect plan for 2020 election...... That senior policeman might be an agent sent to kill Floyd who happens to be an innocent sacrificial lamb to bring about national unrest,.... Believe me, the 3 junior officers are innocent, they are only be used by their Superior...... As for the camera person, he might be an agent i.e paid to video the incident or might not be an agent i.e an ordinary citizen who was freely allowed by senior policeman to video the incident, in order to post it online for the world to see.. believe me, America police that I know will collect cameras and phone from everyone videoing that incident especially as that man died.......... Let me ask this question, "of all the racist killing by police in America, which of the incidents was clearly video by anyone from A to Z with clean shot and posted online for the world to see?" ........... There is more to this than meet the eyes.

If I were Trump, I would have ordered FBI to take over that case for proper investigation......... Investigate the person that call the police, investigate that divisional police office and inspector, investigate the camera man and investigate the senior policeman.

All these linkages is not a coincidence


you are as deluded as your lord and savior trump

I have a big problem with toilet wipes like you. When bugs like you come to the United States, you never vote Republican. You know instantly that the democrats are your friends. It is the democrats that try to help immigrants float along until they can obtain permanent residence or citizenship. It is the democrats that pursue legislation that fosters equality, that targets immigrant-households and alerts them that the government recognizes them. When you are poor, hopeless, and downtrodden in America, it is the Democrats who look out for you and give you hope. The Republicans are all about conservatism, whose definition seems to loosen or tighten depending on what their present leaders are up to.

It is only JEALOUSY, IGNORANCE and SCHADENFREUDE that cause Nigerians to support Trump and his mean immigrant policies, over the Nigerian, Kenyan, Mexican, Venezuelan, Brazilian, Polish, and other immigrants in the US. You're jealous because your life is FC.UKED up in Nigeria and you can't stand the fact that other Nigerians, like you, have escaped the vicious cycle of poverty and disease in Nigeria. How can any right thinking Nigerian support Trump? Trump who treats people who look like you like sh.it. Dem swear for you ni? Onye iberibe.

You're suffering from cognitive dissonance.


And you think an immigration policy that throws the gate wide open to all for the sole purpose of winning more minority votes is a good thing for citizens right?

That is both selfish and unpatriotic. Because it favors you as an immigrant doesn't make it right.

America is a country of law and order. If you must get in, you have to do the needful. Even your Bible advise that you obey the laws of the land.

If the gate is open to all radicals, extremists and criminals without control, someday America would seize to be the home of good fortune.

I'm sure you don't want that to happen.

The context is clear to all but what I wanted to point out was that your information was still useful because of our ability to overhype here. To many it already sounded like this was the highest position ever! So the information was useful. I have followed Powell since the '90s so I knew this was no big deal though is welcome development. Shey you know how our people concocted how Emeagwali invented the internet? So this information was timely even if it missed the context

Lets say people like me are not a fan of democrats. 1st we dont apply for visa lottery. We love our country and want it to work. American fathers fought and created their country, but someone like you want to go there, feel among, and claim glories that are not yours.

Our interest with Donald Trump is a bigger picture ...bigger than american visa lottery or green card.

We want world peace. Trump campaigned he will take america out of wars. Especially wars that doesnt concern america. America went to Iraq bombed it to pieces, Afganistan, Pakistan, Libya.

Obama a democrat help killed Ghadaffi in Libya, ever since then, Libya a small London became a destruction and war front up till this moment. Weapons from Ghadafi armoury flow freely to Mali and Boko haram.

Does visa lottery people like you know how many people boko haram have killed up till now. Democrat obama didnt sell us weapon to fight boko haram because we did not support gay/homosexual. Homosexual is another democrat agenda they are pushing into our throat.

Donald Trump is a nationalist like myself. And nationalist want the best for their country. I see myself in Donald Trump.

Liberal/democrats are fighting christianity, Trump came and put an end to it. He came to give unborn babies right to live. Democrats even want an 8 month old baby aborted.

It is easy to choose between evil and good. There are many goodies on this planet other than fake american visa lottery. Its for the greater good of the planet, not selfish mr yankee pride.

CNN can never avail them the opportunity of seeing that picture. It's beyond their world view.
Very selfish set of humans. We hate that Nigeriens, Malians and Senegalese flood our northern borders illegally, yet we wish same on the US.

He was nominated March 2nd and not in February.....this is not the first time black life matter have protested, they have been there for many years. Trump currently have no nomination for more than 200 position in his cabinet now...and he conveniently called this-in in an election year.

All in all, this is an Election year nomination for Trump to pander to the black community, In March when he made that nomination, his approval rating among black in the single digits among blacks, even worst compare to 2016. His approval among Whites is evening dipping and Bidden is up against him there, whereas he bested Hillary 57% to 37% on this point.

Expect to see some twits and even campaign Ads on how he nominated the first African American Service Chief and therefore is the best for them....It is all connected to Black Lives Matter, black community and the Election.
Re: Charles Brown Is First Black Service Chief In USA by Nobody: 11:16pm On Jun 10, 2020
Colin Powell was the chairman of Joint service chiefs, the equivalent of our Chief of Defence Staff here. So he was a service Chief.
The emphasis on this man is that he is the first black to lead the US Airforce.

You are the one getting it wrong, Colin Powell was not a service chief. This man, Charles Brown is the first ever black man to be appointed as service chief in the US military.

i wish i can give a brotherly hug. They dnt hav a clue why an Obama stooge who cant even recite ABCD Is a huge danger to him and family later on. You only mentioned Lybia, what of that rabid butcher Isil founder that Obama was accused to have secretly let out of prison and secretly founded to set up and lead the Sunni millitia rebel groups meant to kill or topple a predorminantly shia nation of Syria led by Assad. The Obama so called "moderate alquada'' instead transformed into Isil, carved out an islamic terror state. A beehive for sunni terrorists, jihadists and murderers. Even Alquida were a childs play to the level of terror they unleashed on Christians, moderate muslims. Obama looked the other way while Isil carrif out the genocide on christian Yazidis minority. Reducing their population from over 600k to less than 150k within 3months. We all knw the role Obama and the dem party played while islamic state west africa, slaughtered minorities in Nigeria. Not a word against the killings. TRUMP gave Buhari a stern warning to stop the killings and bombed ISIl off the face of the earth. Imagine a braindead Biden ruling while am ElRUFAI is President?

The guy deserves a hug. And these so-called Christian liberals just don't get it.

They ask why we support Trump, dude had the care to ask buhari to call his Jihadist herdsmen to order . No European president can ever do that. It takes an uncommon love and passion to do that.

And ever since that order, believe it or not the rampaging of murderous herdsmen in Benue and south, can to a halt.
