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?

Where electoral colleges was started is irrelevant to argument.

As for what i wrote, google it. You will find more than a million result in google but you just have to chose what to believe.

Did you recall when George Bush said Saddam Hussein had weapon of mass destruction as a reason to go to war in IRAQ? Later that theory was debunked. The real reason they said was that the Bushes had personal problem with Hussein.

So many people thought Iraq war was to fight terrorism because of 9/11. But it is not a secret that the terrorist were Saudi connected and Osama is a Saudi national. Ok, more than a decade after the war in iraq, where is the weapon of mass destruction

I am nt trying to go off topic here my dear but just trying to draw another example that is similar to the scenario. Politicians say sth that is not true to justify their true evil intentions.

Watch this show, " House of cards" you know U.S politics is a dirty as Nigeria's.

Wetin man pikin no go see

People them find work, they hussle for bread and butter , to see food chop. This my guy dey worry about taxes

As for me, every goods and services in Nigeria is already taxed via VAT. And i when i collect my salary or money for contract, I believe oga at the top AKA the tax man have chopped his share via VAT because my salary is going inside my pocket

I went to pay a property tax and the lady demand I find her sth.. I refused and she almost was demanding for my stool sample just to frustrate me and i said Well ... One Nigeria and i put the money back in my pocket

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.

Yes sir.. You are the only person that mentioned me with something reasonable to say...

Bar man, give this my guy small stout abi Gulder is your brand..

Yeah.. I am right there with you, Trump is just an embarrassment. My issue with him is his hate filled campaign. From the moment he declared his candidacy till date.. He have flip flopped on his manifestos.. To me that's worrisome.

He have some unattainable goals and some hypocrite ones. He doesn't believe Global warming as mentioned during his campaign, but he is citing global warming as reason the Republic of Ireland should let him build fence around his golf course in Ireland.. Can you imagine To me he seems to be having fun with the whole U.S politics scenrios and doesn't give a damn..

Conte effect? Moses is good with or without Conte

Yeah he is.. What i mean is, Conte might be playing him in a position that suits his game. Also the Chelsea atmosphere under conte might also have a positive effect on him

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:

What are you blabbing about .. Who's arguing with you that the winner of the presidential election is not determined by electoral college
You made it sound like you just heard about it and you are excited about that.

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.

My dear, you compared apples with Oranges here. US president election is not by any means close to the Nigerian presidental election in 2015.

The reasoning behind the "electoral colleges" is slavery.

Back when slavery was the order of the day in the US. Slaves where disenfranchised. They could not vote but a big BUT, their owners and the political system wants to use them to win elections, basically silencing them. They are counted on the census that they use to allocate the electoral college but they don't vote, they don't want them to make their choices. They wanted to appoint people "electoral college" to make their choice for them.

If there were no electoral colleges, the south would rarely smell the white house. And to think of it, the south - home of slavery have produced the highest number of U.S. presidents than any other region.

*** also don't forget that women weren't allowed to vote at the time.. But they were counted in census and they use census to allot electoral colleges to states.. So basically that's a system of silencing groups of people to there advantage****

good continue.....


what does the cert do?

It makes people have bowl legs

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

Read before typing rubbish.. I wrote Clinton won more "popular vote" than Trump. And you are saying Trump won more states than Clinton. These are different argument.

In case you don't understand, "popular votes" are individuals personal choice of the candidates in an Election. My previous post is just saying that more Americans wanted Clinton to be president than Trump.

Try to comprehend sth b4 flaunting your single figure IQ

Good job guys

He was really outstanding in that game.. Conte effect

Keep it up my guy

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

Do you know that Trump did not win popular vote? He won "Electoral votes". In other words, his victory does not actually represent the will of the people. As of Thursday morning, Clinton was up by more than 500k popular votes.

Not a Trump supporter..... His campaigns was filled with hate.. To think that out of everyone in this country, Trump is the president, it is just a ridicule... A shame

Abeg make una gree this girl rest... Haba!

All these holier than thou should not dare try to quote me

I thought the headline says he filed a suit ti recover Savanna Bank and i was ready to go dust down my cheque book.


Goes back to sleep

enshi:
Nice comment... Thanks bro

The white guy builds but with the proportion thing in mind...
Check this pic

To the bolded.. Good thinking

No homo but the guy on white but...??

Why? He's got a height advantage over the other guy..

Just like iyanya, he looks like a dwarf in some of his pictures because of his short stature.

The shorter guy( no offense... Just lack of a better word), went to far in his body building. Person of that height shouldn't go that far, otherwise he would look like a dwarf, and hia body would be out of proportion..
The guy on white T don't even look like a body builder.

Where are there names

Sipping my tea waiting for their names to be uploaded

Thank you

The facebook post says ...." hin dey form die...".

For outstanding individuals in IT. Their performances creates a soft landing for them when they graduate, that's how the system work.

Obama is the biggest looser in all of these.
All his military and foreign policies will go down the drain...... Health care policies.. Nko?....... Oya go down the drain too.
He's only going to be remembered as the first black president... Shikina

Oh DEMOCRATS..... You guys fu..cked up big time..... Bernie Sanders would have won Trump pants down.....

Political Unknown..... That's where we stand now in America

To the bolded, it shows me you have a good head on your shoulders

I had the same feeling too.. I believe you live in the U.S. you could tell that Bernie supporters didn't rally around Clinton like they should and Bernie was remarkably missing in Clinton campaign.

I am very shocked how many people hate Hillary. She is not an angel so to speak, but the election is about picking the lesser of the two evils.

But you were absolutely right, Bernie could have won the election in a landslide, he had a movement and is extremely popular with millenials- a key group that Clinton struggled with.

sinaj:
triplet daz meant to be a bundle of joy now seem like burden to him just because of money.

I really feel for d babies nd hope they get d best.

Your blood they hot ooo

But you have a point though. Here is the thing, we don't have the full story yet, they said he was married. Was he married while going to school or after? Did he have a job at any point in the pregnancy? And again remember intercourse is like rolling a dice, no one knows if they would " certainly" get one or two or three. If he had saved up for one and he ended up with 3... You know that would be a cry for help on there part.

Relax my dear at least he was man enough to perceive his own fart and didn't run away for gov't to take over.. He is actually looking for a job.

So my sister, extend your helping hands if you could.

Cheers

Nigeria is really blessed..

The North is very beautiful.. The landscape is magnificent but too bad people there don't tap in to it.

The rich Northerners leave all this wonderful vegetation and have their tongue and throat in southern oil.... Maka why nau

I thought they don't like western culture They should be riding on the back of a camel now

Na them again,

Walks off ****

What happened to buy Nigeria movement Was that cake baked in Nigeria



HBD though

Check your family history.... It might be genetic..

You know some people get v shaped hair in their forehead at mid 20's ... Some men don't have sideburns ... Some don't have mustache..

Some have hairs on there chest while some don't..
For the most part..it doesn't mean sth is wrong with them. It is just genetics..

Cheers my guy

Young people be wasting there lives.... instead of doing something meaningful with their lives

Let me see who will come here and blame me.
