abbey621: I'm sorry this is highly inaccurate, here in the US companies run a background check meaning if all your references are good and you fail the background test you will not be employed. Credibility is a mixture of legality plus ethics. You don't have to have high morals to survive in the business world, just ethics and regards for the law. This is why CEOs and VPs are ethically bound to the stakeholders but not morally bound. Nice try but you analogy fails again!
Video of Trumping claiming the American GDP was 0....Good thing is you can't call this fake news. I'm sorry but anybody who can boldly state the GDP of a country is 0 has no credibility.
Mr Trump also claimed he won the election by the biggest margin which was proved false on live TV.... So while Trump might not have committed any crime, every smart individual knows that its wise to double check anything that comes out of the mouth of Trump. How can you be credible when i can't take you for your words?
spartan117: I don't care about what he did 4 usa I'm not American am a Nigerian. If he had simply stayed out of our way and done nothing to help us it wud Ave been fine by me, but he actively sought to undermine us as a nation he seemed to Ave had something against Jonathan 4 not signing d gay bill into law, he also sought to undermine our importance in d region by completely ignoring us when he visited dis region. He also colluded with south africa to completely relegate Nigeria in Nelson Mandela 's funeral despite d role we played in d apartheid war. Not only dat, he completely stopped d import of Nigerian crude oil to d USA, in our greatest hour of need when we were faced against a raging boko harm he refused to sell us weapons and this lead to d south africa arms scandal in 2014(i believe u still remember). In another hour of need when faced with an ebola outbreak he refused to sell us drugs claiming they were still experimental thank God 4 our brilliant medical scientists dat produced a drug to fight d disease, he then branded dat drug a pesticide. I don't know what his obsession with d North was bcuz he sent his secretary of state to visit only northern leaders and he also invited only northern governors to USA. The most annoying thing he did is dat he brought BUHARI upon us! He sent his personal campaign manager to Nigeria to package buhari and make all those empty campaign promises. Indeed this man is a big failure to africa d fact dat he tried to force gay bill down our throat is enough 4 me to dislike him U can verify all I've said on Google
This has to be one of the dumbest thing I've read on here.
abbey621: You attacked his credibility yet he hasn't broken any laws. You are worse than CNN!
There's a difference between morality and legality. Credibility is mostly based on morality not legality that's the reason why companies/ business ask for references not police reports.
abbey621: All the things you mentioned, did he break any law? Or are you just looking for needle in a haystack? You keep forgetting he has critics from both Democrats and Republicans, or did you choose to just ignore....lol
I have not said anything about Trump breaking the law, i said he wouldn't release his tax returns or put his business in a blind trust because he plans to use his position as President to make money and that is what he is doing starting with his private club.
abbey621: Another fallacy, draining the swamp simply means bringing in an outsider. It has nothing to do with financial status. If you truly knew how the U.S works you wouldn't talk about the presidency being enriched through shady deals, this is not 9ja. Everything he does is under a microscope and I have no doubt Congress would keep him in check, unless you are insinuating that Congress would be in on the shady deals as well....LMAO! Every president gets richer when in office, there are plenty of legal avenues for that so don't worry.
Trumps private club in Mar-a-Lago has doubled its membership fee, Trump has spent 5 of the last 6 weekends there, who does that benefit financially? Trump brings his kids to meeting with American Tech Ceo's, what for? To serve wine? Trump files his intention to run in the next election immediately after his inauguration, which means his campaign organisation can legally start collecting funds. He hadn't spent a day in office but plans to run for the next election, why?
As for congress keeping him in check, Republicans control both houses, if they had plans of keeping him check, they would not have confirmed some of his nominees.
abbey621: 90% of the Billionaires in the world have shady dealings, that is none of my business! The fact remains he has over 300 businesses. I can't help but laugh, just because a business declares bankruptcy does not mean they never made profit. It just means the amount of money they financed could no longer be justified by the profits they were making. I understand you are still a kid but let me give you this quote, " Show me a successful man and I'll show you a man that has failed many times". Finally you speak of blind trust, please shut up! If na your papa worked so hard to build an empire would you accept that all his companies be put into a trust instead of the hands of you his child? It's easy to criticize but 90% of us would do the same, there's no law making it compulsory for him to put his assets in a blind trust? So why the fuss? You should blame the lawmakers for not having foresight!
For someone who talks of "draining the swamp", coming to equity with clean hands is the first thing that should be on your mind. Every one with a brain knows Trump wasn't going to put his company in a blind trust or release his tax returns, His plan is to use the position as President to finally make up the billions he claims he owns.
Successful people, learn from their mistakes, not Trump...
abbey621: Spoken like a true novice, before you rely on CNN for your facts you might want to examine bankruptcy laws and how they work. Trump never declared for bankruptcy on the contrary the businesses that he ran did. Of those 6 businesses, Trump only owned 2, the other 4 were co-owned. Now unless you are some business tycoon that can guaranty never to fail at any business, give the man a break he currently has over 300 businesses, to me that is a success! Finally, you call him a fraud for not releasing his tax return but fail to mention there is no law commanding him to do so, would it be a good gesture? Yes! Would people have more confidence in him? Yes! Is he mandated to release them? Absolutely not! Like a popular addage goes, what business does someone that already had a wedding have with a wedding gown?
Spoken like a true Trump supporter, when someone brings facts claim CNN or wherever the person got is from is fake. Trump failed at a Casino business when everyone knows in gambling, the house always wins, yet Trump failed at it. Trump ran a fake university, this is a fact... Trump over 300 business? Dude please, He is not mandated to show his tax returns but we all know Trump has lots of shady things he is hiding.
Why has Trump refused to put his Business in a blind trust?
SalamRushdie: Does Obama still recieve intelligence briefing ? NO
All ex presidents still get daily briefing.(Some choose not to bother about it like Bush Senior). Just like you didn't know about the President not being able to order a wire tap. Seems like you Trump supports have a hard time knowing facts are different from opinions
SalamRushdie: Would Trump make up a story like this without solid facts ? NO
Who made up the "Obama" wasn't born in America story?
abbey621: While Trump might look insecure and at times crazy, it's all part of the show. Keep thy enemies on edge and surprise them at every corner. I voted for Trump because he was the only outsider that had a chance of winning. His policies are straightforward and unless you are a liberal sheep you would understand:
1. Keep those wanting to do us harm out of this country, it is unfortunate that these people happen to be Muslims in extremist countries and Mexicans who illegally crossed into the U.S with histories of criminal activities. Even though all you haters hear is that Trump calls Mexicans criminals and hates all Muslims.
Kids with guns have killed more Americans than Muslims and Mexicans put together. Last year, Lawn mowers killed more Americans than muslims and Mexicans last year. Anybody who wants to stop the indiscriminate killings of Americans needs to start from gun control, anything other thing is just noise. Also the 7 countries in EO ban have killed a total of 0 Americans....So when Trump bans Saudi's from the US, you can bring this up
abbey621: 2. Grow the economy at a rate of 3% or higher. How? Remove the ridiculous taxes on businesses. No country taxes businesses more than the U.S, at a rate of 33%, it is a job killing policy. Once the regulations and taxation are lowered, companies will bring jobs back to the USA instead of shipping them to India or Mexico.
Jobs that have left the US are never coming back and it has nothing to do with taxes. Mexico has trade deals with 44 countries plus low wages.
3. Renegotiate Trade deals: NAFTA and other trade deals puts the US at trillions in deficit every year, no more wasteful USA!
abbey621: 4. Repeal and replace Obamacare: This is perhaps the closest to my heart. I rarely get sick, when I do I have enough savings to pay my hospital bills but for Obamacare to make it compulsory that I must have health insurance or pay a tax of almost $1000 a year is DEMONIC! To make things worse, my premium just went up 25%, you might as well shoot me in the a**! Trump's plan is to enable a cross state insurance policy, where consumers are free to shop providers all across the U.S, this would result to lesser premiums and a mre robust healthcare system but some of the Republicans want Obamacare completely gone so this might be a long fight in Congress.
Well some people are good drivers but they still have to buy care insurance. Trump has NO plan, i repeat NO plan. He boasted during campaign that repealing Obamacare is the first thing he'll do once in office, Republicans have control of both houses yet they still can't repeal it because they have no solid replacement...
abbey621: Finally, I watch CNN and I laugh. For 8 years we had nothing but a president that promoted homosexuality, political correctness, mugu money spender policies but such policies are not sustainable in the long run, I'm not surprised that a news network that was supposed to be impartial basically announced Trump had no chance of winning and even after his victory kept trying to raise chaos. Obama brought the economy back from a point of collapse but at the same time made life a living hell for the Middle Class. More of the country depended on handouts from the government, those that were employed are subjected to higher taxation, lower wages and lower quality jobs. More companies folded up or moved jobs out yet the big corporations were given a stimulus package resulting in a national debt of almost 20 TRILLION DOLLARS. Such a policy cannot continue! So you may bash Trump based on the propaganda you have been fed but realize he is exactly what America needed! He owns or has shares of over 300 companies with a failure rate of less than 10%, he is business minded and just like any other business minded billionaire, he is not going to hide his feelings, some call it arrogance, I call it draining the swamp!
You mean Trump that has declared for bankruptcy 6 times? A guy who basically could not run a casino when ever other casino in America was killing it? Please, there's a reason why Trump won't release his tax returns, he knows he's a fraud and releasing them would show his supporters like you that he truly is a fraud. A guy who complained about Obama playing golf has been to his private club the last 5 weekends....
PS: Obama was the President of all Americans and that includes the LGBT people, you don't have to like it but he swore an OATH to protect them and he kept to that OATH. PS: If Republicans had done well, Obama wouldn't have needed to bail out the Auto industry, Wall Street e.t.c
mfm04622: Any evidence he didn't get the judge order?
1) You can't just go to a judge and say give me permission to wire tap xyz person, you'd need some serious evidence to substantiate your claim. 2) The burden of proof is on the claimant, so Trump has to show proof that his phone was wired taped. 3) Trump is a liar and a show man, anything he says is treated as a lie until proved otherwise.
LifestyleTonite: Yes, but you still need to do your best to match those leftist media like BBC CNN Al Jazeera, who are all bent on pulling him down or making him look evil.
Nobody is making him look evil, he's doing that by himself. This is a guy who started the "birther" movement. A guy who has refused to release his tax clearance, A guy who started a fake university. A guy who has filled for bankruptcy 6 times. A guy who said the American GDP was 0.
You don't expect any sane person to believe what he says without fact checking.
He does it because he knows the mainstream Media won't broadcast any good news about his administration, only the "bad" news.
With no good news about his administration getting out to the public, people will think he's not working. So, he tweets to keep people informed about everything.
There's a saying that goes "a gold fish has no hiding place". If what you are doing is good, you don't need to tweet, it will manifest itself.
SalamRushdie: Why don't you tell us what is dumb about what he said ?
Did Obama tap his phone ? Yes
Was it wrong ? Yes
Hope you can see you are the one being dumb here
The American President can't order a wire tap of army citizen, only a judge can. If a President doesn't know this, then you have to question his sanity.
chloride6: Having worked in the upstream sector the French IoC I can tell you that the headquarters of these companies are never coming back to the Niger Delta.
In fact they are moving more towards deep offshore assets that are all operated from Lagos. More than 800kbpd is currently operated from Lagos. With bonga SW and Egina coming we are looking at 1.3 or more barrels.
There will soon be more oil operated from Lagos than the Niger Delta. This is for obvious reasons, the IOCs have analyzed the situation and seen that militancy is more than a struggle it is now business and they are tired. TOTAL office next to Eko Hotel is there for all to see. The staff are free, happy and feel at home. They even know chilling spots pass you.
When I went to the trans amadi office l, it was like a prison. I kid you not, There are three high gates manned by a whole garrison. They couldn't go out freely, in fact the fishing team had their bus shot at the same day.
IoC try as hard not to post expatriates to PH, because it like a death sentence. In short they are tired, that's why you see them selling onshore assets to local E and P while moving to a more secure offshore location not even minding the heavy development cost.
So locating headquarters in the Niger delta is ship that has sailed past.
You are probably the only one who knows whats up. Shell has since sold all its assets in Delta State. Their HQ is still in PH but they re opened an office in Lagos. Most IOC's are going offshore .
Saying GEJ made Nigeria the biggest economy in Africa because he re based the country's GDP is like saying a man became richer because he recounted his money.
MagnaB: It pains me when celebrities are paid huge amount of money just to represent a brand. Nigeria is failing not because we don't have the capable people in the country but because we don't set our priorities straight.
Imagine all this "brand ambassador" thing, to me i believe its a waste of resources. We celebrate entertainment too much in the country than we celebrate the ones who have been distinct in their academic fields. No wonder the best graduating student in a faculty or institution can be given 50,000 and a winner of big brother be given 25million naira.
No wonder our young ones no longer see reason to go to school or excel in academic studies and they just want to go into entertainment. I wonder if we all go into entertainment since thats where the money is then who will be the minister of science, who will handle other academic fields needed for the growth of the nation since money is very important.
I believe its high time Nigeria got its priorities right and straight.
Bros, entertainers are paid serious money all over the world. Companies exist to make profit so they will spend their money in areas that will bring them profit.
klax: United Nation From your post I can see you are from the semi hell fire almanjiri land. When they ask d you people to go to school with no quota system not to produce illiterate army General like Abacha and Buhari you won't listen just read what you post * United Nation* in PDP affair this is horrible. Anyway it's too early
If you truly went to school, you should have heard of the word "sarcasm".
LordofNairaland: What sort of a doctor would even ask for numbers? It is fundamentally wrong for her to have even obliged him at all. In my short time of practising medicine, patients only reached me through my officeline.
Today it was the doctor, tomorrow it be a colleague at work, next tomorrow it would be the Local government chairman. My point is Men would always ask women out, married or not and there's nothing the woman's husband can do about it, but his action now would make the woman keep other advances to herself because the husband would find a way to make it her fault.
agongajoseph: Business card ke, chairmo but no b everybody get business card na. ... you are talking from the Ajebo point of view.
This is not an Ajebo point of view oh, using business card was just an example. There are so many ways to get a lady's number that its not worth even thinking about it talk less of a husband getting angry.
pizapato: It's a different thing if the doctor got it elsewhere. she giving out a number whether right or wrong is sending out wrong signal
Lol at wrong signal. We are so used to fooling ourselves in the country it's beyond belief.
The doctor could have asked for her business card and gotten it from there ( or is she also banned from doing business with guys)? So what difference does it make?
For those who submitted, with gift deeds, did you also submit addition documents with the gift deed e.g bank statement of the person providing the gift?
Also has anybody being able to get the bank letter in the specified format from GTB for savings account?
agongajoseph: OP, na from clap na im dance dey start. From there Watsapp messaging don start, the Young Doc will start by sending her on watsapp "i just want to wish ur family goodnite"," how is your wonderful family", then she'll think d Doc is better than her husband, he's so caring... from there he'll turn her bestie on watsapp, a shoulder to lean on anytime there's a little quarrel in d house, she'll start telling Doc her family wahala, n Young Dog abi na young Doc will start giving her bad advises .....She no try. She shud admit
The Doctor can get her number from her file or somewhere else and this same thing would happen, so what difference does it make if she gave him her number or not?
QuitNotice: You just spoke like a man, ask her oo, she doesn't know that men see everything as green light, eg. 'the way she said no shows me she's interested'. Muchless of QUICKLY giving him a number; 'she did a mistake' noni
And if she's say she married, he sees it as her playing hard to get so why is the husband making a fuss out of nothing?
slysteel: You have shown your husband signs of being flirty,you gave a wrong number today so if he pressures you tomorrow you will drop the correct number,[b]what a married woman does is to tell a toaster that you are married simple,[/b]and he walks away,you never did and that's a clear sign that you have not made the transition from a girlfriend to a wife,its unmarried women that drop wrong numbers,married women simply says they are married..
So all those oga's that chase their married staffs didn't know they were married? Seriously?
walex2: Why are we dragging unnecessary issue, what is the big deal in woman given her number to another person. As a married man or woman don't you have colleagues in the office that want to date you even though he quite understand you are married, are you going to leave your job just because of that. Am married and the main life wire of any marriage is trust. Let assume the male doctor was the resident doctor assigned to her, would her husband tell her not to use the hospital again?
Madam you have done no wrong, please let your husband understand this and stop treating you like kid.
Bros one bottle for you. I can't believe the trash i have been reading since.
