I must ask you...what is wrong with policemen picking up onions that fell off a truck on the highway? I mean, recession or not, is there anything wrong with this act?
The onions will get crushed and wasted by passing vehicles. So, if policemen stationed nearby decide to pick them off the road and take them home for consumption, is there anything wrong with this?

YES.. THERE ARE A MILLION THINGS WRONG WITH .. IT IS CALLED STEALING .. Imagine being the owner of that goods

The fear of witchcraft is directly linked to the general education of the populous. The more educated the population of an area is the less witches they perceive and vice versa.
Africans think they are the ones that started witch hunting. But the truth is compared to the Europeans we were all learners, yes the white people once believed strongly in witchcraft. The Malleus Maleficarum translated as The hammer of witches is arguably the most damning text in all of literature. Written in 1486 by Catholic Inquisitors, it prescribed how to kill, torture and identify witches. And for almost 200 years it was the best selling book second only to the Bible. The book with sponsorship from the Pope killed tens of thousands of women accused of witchcraft.
But today people in Europe are smarter and no one talks of witches again. Why?
Education my friends is a mind opener.

You are still reasoning like a kid.
Lagos is the most populated state in Nigeria and if you win Lagos state by population, but you lose four other states in the south west with combined population that is not up to your votes in Lagos does that make you the more popular choice of the voters in the entire south west when the majority of voters in four other states rejected you?

LOL, and yet every time he went to the banks and big corporations to get loans or woo financiers, they kept giving him money.
He still remained a billionaire.

I didn't say he is infallible, I was trying to tell Seun that someone who is so easily manipulated does not become a billionaire. He is the one that has been manipulating the system and people,not the other way round.

missjo:
Actually, the beginning/history of Electoral Colleges is the only thing that is relevant to your argument.

And yea I know you read it from Google, mostly opinions from people who are calling for it to be scrapped.
There is no historical backing on the records to support the claim that it was invented because of slavery.

1. Electoral College system of voting is not unique to the United States.
2. The first country to make use of the system IS NOT the United States.
3. About 6 or 7 other countries including the kingdom of Prussia (present Germany, which has the earliest account and use of the system), have also made use of it at one time or the other.
4. Apart from the United States, none of these countries (including Prussia) are known to have a significant Slave population.

So how come it's only the US that's using the system because of slavery?

missjo:
You don't know a lot about Trump do you? Read up on his biography and the way he has run his business to become a billionaire.

One thing people can't do is manipulate him, it may seem like someone baited him into reacting but be rest assured the man usually has something else up his sleeves.
It's that same ego that makes him hard to manipulate.

missjo:
Where are you people coming up with this stuff?
Slavery is the reason behind having the Electoral College system, really?

Was the system of Electoral Colleges started in the US?

Lucasbalo:
Trump won but he didn't have a mandate. That's why he is pulling back from some of his divisive statements. We shall see how things go. One thing i knoe is that after a grace period of a year, if he doesn't perform, Americans will unleash on him. I am one of his harshest critics but I still want him to succeed because if he's successful that means America is successful.

Conte effect? Moses is good with or without Conte

NairaMinted:
You do not understand what you speak. Trump won fair and square. The winner US presidential elections is determined by the electoral college. It's all that matters.

The very purpose of the electoral college is to prevent tyranny of the masses (or a particular tribe or ethnicity) hence the electoral college.

And yes this check and balance system of the electoral college is indeed synonymous with the requirement of winning 2/3 of states in a Nigerian presidential election that bigtt76 mentioned.


Watch this and educate yourself:

bigtt76:
The US have an electoral process which aims at protecting it from what happened in the last presidential election in Nigeria where Kano and Rivers state contributed the most votes for both candidates.

Do you know that the most votes scored by Clinton could have come from just one state? Compared to Trump actually winning in more states? Though in Nigeria 2/3 of total votes cast nationwide is required to win, in US the more states you win the more electoral votes you get.

good continue.....


what does the cert do?

Orikinla:
Stop reasoning like a kid.
Trump won more states than Clinton.
Some of the states she won have more populations.

Seun:
They were not allowed to speak their minds in public, so they spoke with their votes.
