Extreme foolishness and the victimhood has done irreparable damage to you thats why you are always a victim and can never be succesful

A name is to serve as a unique identifier as much as possible, So people address you by a name that is distinct and will cause less confusion.

If you say Harris, there are many Harris that can be confused for each other but if you say Kamala there are fewer Kamala than Harris. Kamala will serve more as a unique identifier for Kamala Harris than say Harris

When you say Clinton, There was a popular Clinton that people already know which is Bill, to distinguish, you have to say Hillary which zeroes in on the person you are speaking about same thing with Michelle Obama

The same logic when people are describing Bush. If you say Bush, there are likely different people that can be confused for it, That is why people use the differentiators like HW, W or Jeb. Actually When Jeb Bush ran his campaign he was called Jeb all through and he was not a woman
Even in Basketball, While some male ballers are more popular by their first name, some are more popular with their last name. People address Lebron Shaquille Kobe with their first names and Jordan, Durant, Westbrook by their last names or in your view its implicit bias that's making people address men differently?

Now lets test your theory and tell me if you call these famous women by their first name or last name Nancy Pelosi, Sonia Sotomayor, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Margaret Thatcher

Most people will call the above women by their last name Pelosi, Sotomayor, Thatcher, Stefanik, Okonjo-Iweala and not their first name because that name is distinct enough and causes less confusion to the average listener

Or do you refer to Nancy Pelosi as Nancy, Sonia Sotomayor as Sonia, Margaret Thatcher as Margaret, Elise Stefanik as Elise? or Okonjo-Iweala as Ngozi?

@Ijebos I understand his point


Even Kamala will prefer to be called by her first name and I understand the rationale.

I call her Kamala too because it is her unique identifier for me.

I can also see your point too but I don't think that is a big deal.

IjeBos:
My niece doesn't want her to win because of this. She's scared if anything happens they will blame women and black women for it.
I was somewhat surprised by that comment. Never thought of it.

No disrespect to your niece but her viewpoint is not helping anyone. If she is concerned she should volunteer and help Harris get a Democratic Congress.
Not wanting her to win based on hypotheticals is silly particularly when the alternative is a lunatic.

Bennytwin:
I hope they don't though bandwagons have decided.

Wanni my winner!

Same here, the wife was even more entertaining but they sent her away for the husband because he is the man. That thing annoyed me.

I didn't watch this season, I don't have a favourite but if anyone wins except the married man I will be happy. But they said the married man will win so there's that.

ObaIgwe1:
I like your analysis. I have posted earlier that the Vance that showed up at the debate is a very likeable guy if only he meant all the things he said and he wouldn't be flip flopping from them in the future as usual. The only place he got low was when he chose to be correct with Trump by refusing to admit that Trump lost the 2020 election. I know deep down in his mind he knows Biden won, I don't know if the Americans will see it as a strength or weakness for him trying to be loyal to his Principal instead of being straightforward with the people.

I hope Vance stays true to this "New and Improved Vance", he might be a force when Trump leaves the scene. I don't think there would be need for me to actively campaign for Kamala in 2028 if she wins now. I expect her performance as president to without a doubt do the campaign for her. Being the first female president is a big shoe, and she will owe it to herself and many American women to prove to the generality of Americans that a female president can be as good as a male president.

For Kamala to be a successful President she needs the House and Senate to make any meaningful change. I agree with you, this is a big shoe to fill because if she messes up, misogynists will tell us that women should not be in power despite incompetent men like Trump, Hoover, Reagan etc being in power.

I want her to succeed and I hope she gets to nominate SCOTUS Justices if she stays for up to 8 years.

.

Do politicians actually believe EVERYTHING they say? 🤔🤔🤔



Same way Kamala refused acknowledging the reduction in standard of living of most Americans under the Biden administration due to inflation. Na politics be this, you no go expect person to wash em principal dirty pant for public. Every politician is guilty of this.

Do I support such? No, but it's the reality.



Time, as they say, will tell 😎


#Xavier

The inflation you MAGA folks keep talking about must be existing in an alternate reality because you people are so out of touch. Jeez.

I hope to be here next month to drink MAGA tears when Trump loses.

Insha Allah..

Threebear:
You people really sent Kassia home for nothing 😭😭😭😁😁😁

Don't get my hopes up abeg.

I have made peace with the married man winning. If he doesn't ehn

Let me keep quiet and congratulate the married couple.

Aguwanyi:
No worry I don reserve lime and ice to drink ur salty teras on Sunday..

Omo, I don't care about this season. You see me hype any housemate or contribute for the thread? Na una Sabi.
Congratulations to Kellyrae.

Multichoice should put this show in a two years hiatus and bring more innovation to it thereafter.

Aguwanyi:
Nnem, I dey disorganize here.
After sacrificing our wife for d husband to win,
I don dey fear

This is why I will be happy if he doesn't win.

Una sacrifice brainy wife for husband because he be man.

Anyway we know he is winning but e for good if he nor win because of that reason.

@Folake4u, how is everything?
I just outgrew Nairaland and I have life cut out for me now, I am venturing into Tech so I don dey busy these days and spend my social media time on Twitter and Whatsapp. I am trying to meet my goals.

I go soon take IELTS self.

Aguwanyi:
K-squads its not looking good, Wanni is topping d poll ..
Pls we didn't sacrifice Kassia to be a runnerup, go back to base and forget shalayeing for now .

Nor be say I believe una Sha. Even though the boring married man is likely to win. E go sweet me if he nor win.

folake4u:
I nor go vex oh.

This riches wey una dey see for my head, I claim it oh. I'm a Chosen X3.

I dey fine oh. How your side?

Amen o. I wish you plenty of wealth God willing.

I dey fine o. Make we leave this thread. I go mention you elsewhere.

folake4u:
Fine woman. So na only BBN and Trûmp dey bring you come NL abi?

Nor vex abeg.
Rich woman how you dey na?

dominique:
Is Mercy Eke a joke to you? Someone that did practically nothing last season yet was topping the polls till arisers took over. She still went on to become runner up to a winner with the lowest vote margin in BBN finale history. Someone whose highlights were not highlighting o. True she still has her fans but it was her paid mercenaries that took her that far. Nelita are her girls, they recruited the same mercenaries as she did. Their fans are not visible anywhere so where are their votes coming from? They're always bottom on official polls which in most cases reflect the real polls so I ask again, who exactly are voting them? We've never seen their percentage so we don't even know how strong they are. From the looks of things, it could be one or even both of them offing light to come and join Ebuka on stage.

Doublekay fans vote oooo
Vikings vote oooo

Someone on Twitter said something about them dropping money and it also helped that they were not always up too. I will advice anyone going to drop money self.

Tatiana4u:
Hello dear 😍🥰😘

Awww, my sweetheart where have you been?

Good day. ♥️🥰

Twoclans:
Voting platforms are open .

Go and vote and leave Chu Chu Chu for people that their favourite housemates are at home.

Anybody can win .

In summary the money is not defined.

Omo good luck to una when follow this season.

scondy:
The results show that doublekay fanbase controls the game...they didn't vote and the last 3 shared 16%. Leaving 84% for 6 housemates...an average of of 14 per the remaining 6...considering kassia had 9% ...next hm will have like minimum of 10% ..


A person that would win will get at least 25 - 30% of the votes when up with heavy weights...considering only 2 were not up and sooj no strong...

Truth is wanni isn't that strong ....plain facts...

With the close percentages that we saw in All Stars. I refuse to believe that Wanni is not strong or that there is a clear winner.

Make una vote for una faves.

badinfluence:
I said it before that production has a large part of the blame for the dwindling of this show. No form of creativity - it's like they don't even know what they want to do until each day comes. Shuffle the lazy team or give the show a break. They're out of ideas.

Give the show a break let's hunger for it again.

I completely tuned out of this season.

maestroferddi:
Anyone who knows what is on ground in the US in this election cycle will laugh at the silly comments that you are making...

Trump is going to lose. You know nothing on ground.

cococandy:
What I don’t understand is why the numbers are even like this. If Trump should be getting any votes at all on anything whether it be at the polls, in the election or assessment of debate performance, he shouldn’t be getting up to 20% of any votes.

It shows that a good percentage of the people still can’t be swayed by reason, logic or evidence. I know Kamala will win without a doubt but it’s a scary number of people still voting in favor of this man despite how deplorable he is. Scary

Racism and Misogyny/Sexism are powerful drugs and many White Americans are idiots that is why he has that much support.

After this debate put Trump in a mental asylum

armyofone:
I will like to see grandpa show up and greet him

Aww

SpaceX:
Trump will crushed kamala beyond repair my only worry is for him not to be too hard on her, we still need her to witness the victory. Crushed will be an understatement! I fear for her honestly!

Trump that cannot complete a sentence

Lol, delulu. 🤡🤡

Ijebosc:
You're right. Maybe, it's also that Trump gave them courage to spew their nonsense. And they seem to be the most active online.
It's pretty depressing.

Just not sure how we come back from this with so many people internalizing this nonsense, as now it's emotional for them.
Look at this thread. People go out of their way to make nonsense arguments for things they should know better about.

I read some comments on a Harris story of Fox News' site. I couldn't believe the amount of overt and coded racism and misogyny.

Nothing surprises me anymore. Humans are infact dumb.

Ijebosc:
No matter what happens in this election, the US is in for tough days ahead. Too many people believe too much misinformation. A country can't survive if half of it believes their own made up facts.

This didn't start today social media only made it worse.

A majority of Americans mostly the low educated ones who make up a very large voting bloc unfortunately are idiots.
Big time fools who are susceptible to hate and there are Nigerians who fall into this category.

Looking forward to tonight's debate.

Aside from Kamala cooking Trump for dinner.
She should use the opportunity to reach out to voters and expand the Biden coalition.
Good luck.

I am seated and waiting.

vowiski:
lol.. Media people 😂

Like Hillary was wining In all polls

Make una rest with this narrative this is not 2016

1stGenAmerican:
😂😅
TRUMP HAS A VERY BUSY SCHEDULE AHEAD!
-10 days until his Election Fraud Trial Begins
-42 days before he is sentenced for his 34 previous convictions

What’s funnier? As a convicted felon, he’s losing the right to vote! A presidential candidate that can’t vote?
Trump can’t even vote for himself! 😂🤣 Reminds me of all the January 6th idiots who weren’t registered voters and are sitting in jail. 😂😅

MAGA, hold this L—and there’s many more coming your way! 😂😅

You mean some of the rioters didn't even vote?

sanpipita:
Lol Walz is literally a gem, anyhow they want it, it will back fire.

This further disarms JD Vance ahead of VP debate

And I bet Vance to talk about banning IVF, I expect Walz to use that opportunity to talk about how his wife used it to conceive and they named their daughter Hope. I dare the idiot.

You guys should take a look at this. They just finished Trump

The talking point about Minneapolis will die down now. Harris's campaign is very good.

Watch this.

Unearthed audio: Trump tells Tim Walz in 2020 he is “very happy” with his handling of George Floyd protests: “I fully agree with the way he handled it... [Tim Walz is an] excellent guy”

, and just yesterday I was scared that Republicans will use Minneapolis as their biggest asset against Walz but Trump and his big mouth.

The entire BLM protest thing has been nuttered.
Trump is cooked.
