Trust me, vehicles are being damaged.
Trust me they are not being damaged. The tow hitch is always attached to the steel frame of the vehicle. The little tire you see in front of the hitch is just to protect the bumper which is plastic and will only compress a bit but will return to form once the hitch is removed.

This may not be the regular tow hitch you may be used to abroad which is automated but it is equally as effective

Very necessary. This is how it is done in Saner climes aka USA, UK, France and even Canada.

If a car is noticed parked for too long in a non designated parking area it is towed away to the impound lot

This is the most erratic administration in history. No standout policies just trial and error. What exactly has the border closure achieved?

Buhari is out begging for foreign investment while his own countries borders are closed. So he thinks other countries are fools abi? Clueless Mallam.
See someone who cannot efficiently run the smallest of businesses is criticizing a man who is running a country of about 190 million people. The border closure is extremely justified and a grand success.

If Buhari begs for foreign investment you will complain if he does not you will still complain. However, investors have what they look for in countries they wish to invest into and Buhari has set Nigeria in their very line of vision and Investors are trooping in in plane loads

Nigeria is the biggest and best economy in Africa and an investor haven

Nigeria is also the most attractive brand in Africa after overtaking South Africa.

You think some of us no get sense abi? If you no get no think say others no get you hear?

PoliticsRe: Ikpeazu To Timi Frank: “You Blackmailed Jonathan, Used And Dumped By APC” by Blindersoff: 7:44pm On Jan 19, 2020
“For Timi Frank, the disgraced former Spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and a strange-bed fellow in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), there is time for only one thing – time to seek personal comfort and self-aggrandizement.”

“For this reason, he was sacked as the APC Spokesperson, after his errand boy role in the league of politicians that blackmailed the Goodluck Jonathan and PDP led presidency, paving the way for President Mohammad Buhari and APC presidency, expired. Obviously, he was merely used and easily discarded. He was not worth more than that!”

“Evidence that he was never a member of the PDP, Timi did not speak as a faithful party man, but as a job-man, hiding under political activism.”


“It is, therefore, trite to conclude that he was truly a strange bedfellow in PDP prior to the 2019 general elections, whose only interest was what to gain in the Atiku Presidential ambition, which leaders of the party like Governor Okezie Ikpeazu worked genuinely hard to ensure was a success.”

“It is difficult to place why a Timi Frank, who was anonymous and unable to deliver PDP even in his ward in Bayelsa State during the last presidential election which PDP lost to APC, will try to vent his unguarded spleen on Governor Ikpeazu who has remained a committed member of the PDP.”

Foreign AffairsLev Parnas Reveals More. Trump Likely Wanted US Ex Ukraine Ambassador Killed. by Blindersoff(op): 10:25pm On Jan 18, 2020
*The House Judiciary Committee released a cache of documents in advance of Tuesday's impeachment trial for President Trump in the Senate
*Documents show Trump ally Robert Hyde texting with a foreign number in Belgium
*In one he sends a picture of U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch
*Another shows Hyde circle an address and an update on her whereabouts
*Audio file: 'Um it's confirmed she's in Ukraine'
'*My contacts are checking'
*Hyde earlier said he was drinking when he sent messages to Giuliani associate Lev Parnas about ambassador but then on Friday said a source gave him intel


PUBLISHED: 01:42 GMT, 18 January 2020 |

The House Judiciary released a new tranche of information Friday night that shed new light on the alleged surveillance of former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch – including a newly revealed contact between a Trump ally and a person wtih a Belgian phone number.

One exchange features an official photo of Yovanovitch – the ambassador fired by President Trump after a push by Rudy Giuliani and his associates – sent by the mystery Belgian form his mobile phone to Robert Hyde, a Donald Trump loyalist who is running for Congress.

'My contacts are checking,' says a message appended to the photo.

New documents released by the House Judiciary Committee show a person from a Belgian number feeding information about former ambassador Marie Yovanovitch

The person writes from a Belgian country code, 32, according to documents the Democratic-run House committee provited for Trump's Senate impeachment trial.

It was included along with a hashtag #yourfired. The unidentified person has a WhatsApp picture that shows him wearing a green shirt and sunglasses.

The person also sent a brief audio message to Hyde. Listen to Audio file here (https://judiciary.house.gov/uploadedfiles/whatsapp_excerpts_hyde_audio.mp4)

'Um it's confirmed she's in Ukraine,' says the person, who has what may be an Eastern European accent.

'Awesome,' responds Hyde, who on Friday released a lengthy video brushing off claims of surveillance while also acknowledging he got information about Yovanovitch from a source.

Later, person writing from a Belgian exchange writes another message to Hyde. It is either from a different Belgian contact or the person changed their WhatsApp profile picture. The full number has been blacked out.

'Nothing has changed she is still moving,' the person writes Hyde, who was visited at his home by FBI officials this week.

Documents reveal new information from Lev Parnas and other materials

Republican congressional candidate Robert Hyde put out a video where he said a source provided him 'intel' on former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, but denied impropriety and blasted Democrats.

'It's confirmed we have a person inside,' he writes. 'Hey broski tell me what we are doing what's the next step,' says another message.

A series of morning messages provide additional updates. 'She had visitors,' says one. 'Hey brother do we stand downhuh' says one evening message, whose full meeting could not be immediately known.

'Or you still need intel be safe,' it added. 'Asked,' Hyde responded.

Other exchanges have Hyde telling the person he is 'stateside' and asking the Belgian number: 'How long are you there?'

'End of April,' the person responds. 'Congratulations on your new business development,' he wrote Hyde, a former Marine who runs a landscaping business and is running for Congress as a Republican for a Connecticut House seat. He also has been pictured with President Trump.

Hyde didn't open – but circled in yellow using the App – a message including an address in Ukrianian and an additional message, both of which Hyde circled.

'She been there since Thursday never left the embassy,' it says, in language that makes clear what local was being monitored.

The new information appears to mesh with messages released this week between Hyde and indicted Giuliani associate Lev Parnas.

In those messages, Hyde provides updates to Parnas about the location of Yovanovitch, who Trump would call 'bad news' in his infamous call to the president of Ukraine.

'F*** that b***,' Hyde writes of Yovanovitch in one message to Parnas dated March 22. On March 23, Hyde forwards a screen grab of a picture of Yovanovitch provided by the Belgian exchange with the number's message that 'my contacts are checking.'

Hyde also writes that 'she under heavy protection outside Kiev.'

'My guy thinks maybe FSB,' Hyde writes, mentioning the Russian KGB successor.

A March 25 file forwarded by Hyde shows the circled screen grab with the address and information about Yovanovitich's location.

The existing of the first batch of messages drew howls of protest including from Yovanovitch's lawyer, who called for an investigation.

Secretary of State Pompeo finally said Friday, three days after their release, that the matter would be looked at.

The information comes as Democrats are demanding witnesses be called and documents sought as part of the Trump impeachment. Parnas provided the information to the House intelligence committee just days ago after getting approval from a federal judge overseeing his case following his indictment on charges of using a straw donor to give thousands to a pro-Trump super PAC.

Foreign AffairsNot A Joke: Trump Is Looking Into Making Bribery Legal by Blindersoff(op): 8:29am On Jan 18, 2020
https://media.vanityfair.com/photos/5d4db35f0f044a0009664e82/master/w_2560%2Cc_limit/trump-el-paso-baby.jpg

The trouble with the Trump administration, beyond the moral bankruptcy, rampant nepotism, sheer incompetence, mass corruption, white nationalism, idiot children, assault on the concept of truth, and pure evil, is that oftentimes it’s beyond parody. For instance, we know Donald Trump is a wildly shady businessman who believes the purpose of the presidency is to enrich his family and friends, that he thinks the law is for suckers, and that he might be a tax cheat, but it would just be too much to learn that he was actively looking into making bribery legal. And yet!

A forthcoming book called A Very Stable Genius: Donald J. Trump’s Testing of America, by Washington Post reporters Philip Rucker and Carol D. Leonnig, reports that Trump has complained about existing rules, and that he clashed with former secretary of state Rex Tillerson in 2017 when Trump pushed to scrap the FCPA.

“It’s just so unfair that American companies aren’t allowed to pay bribes to get business overseas,” Trump said, according to a passage published by the Post. “We’re going to change that.” The law is designed to prevent individuals and businesses in the U.S. from paying money or offering gifts to foreign officials as a way to win business overseas. Critics of the law complain that it puts U.S. businesses at a disadvantage in places where bribes are customary.

Lest anyone think this is some made-up, inflammatory anecdote designed to sell books, as the president will surely suggest, his own National Economic Council director has admitted that it’s totally true. “We are looking at it,” Larry Kudlow told reporters at the White House on Friday, responding to a question about the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. “I would just say: We are aware of it, we are looking at it, and we’ve heard complaints from some of our companies,” Kudlow said. “I don’t want to say anything definitive policy-wise, but we are looking at it.” Kudlow is, of course, beyond parody himself, having once praised the Trump administration for almost exclusively hiring millionaires, because, and we quote, “Wealthy folks have no need to steal or engage in corruption.”

Foreign AffairsThe World’s Trust In The U.S. Just Hit A ‘record Low’. (data Release) by Blindersoff(op): 9:15pm On Jan 17, 2020
Trust us, Americans won’t like this news.

On Wednesday, U.S. News & World Report released its 2020 list of the best countries, and one of the more depressing findings — at least for Americans — was this: “While the U.S. is perceived as the most powerful country in the world, data shows it is not perceived as very trustworthy,” U.S. News writes. Since 2016, when the first “best countries” report came out, “perceptions of the U.S. as being trustworthy have steadily dropped to a record-low of 16.3 on a 100-point scale.” The publication adds that this was “the sharpest drop in global trust since 2016 among all countries assessed.”

So what’s going on here? Kevin Drew, the assistant managing editor for Best Countries at U.S. News & World Report, noted that some recent statements by President Trump and media reports may have “rattled public opinions in various countries about the U.S. commitment to its traditional strategic alliances.” These included media reports from 2019 that the U.S. might leave NATO, “last year’s abrupt announcement that the U.S. would withdraw its forces from Syria” and “European leaders increasingly express[ing] their frustration with Trump’s global leadership,” Drew wrote.

But it’s not just about politics, Pew Research Center data suggests: “Large majorities say the U.S. doesn’t take the interests of other countries into account when making foreign policy decisions,” Pew reveals — which could impact how trustworthy people find America.


Whatever the reasons, other countries don’t have this trustworthiness problem: Canada, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark topped the U.S. News list as the most trustworthy.

10 most trustworthy countries
Canada
Switzerland
Norway
Sweden
Denmark
New Zealand

The best countries report — a collaboration between U.S. News & World Report, BAV Group and the Wharton School — examined 73 nations across 65 metrics (measuring things like quality of life, cultural influence, entrepreneurship and business climate, power and more) using a survey of more than 20,000 global respondents in 36 countries.

Overall, Switzerland landed on the best country overall list, with U.S. News noting that “the county ranked among the top 10 countries in five of the 9 subrankings, including No. 2 in open for business and No. 7 for both citizenship and quality of life.” Canada scored the No. 2 slot and Japan No. 3.

The U.S. rose one spot to No. 7 — after being “bolstered by being seen as the most powerful country,” U.S. News writes. It also scored highly for its entrepreneurship and cultural influence, but low on the trustworthy scale.

No matter what country you live in, you may hold some bleak views of our world: “Nearly half of survey respondents say conditions around the world have worsened in the past year,” Drew writes in an analysis of the report. What’s more, only 40% of people think the world is safe these days, a full 82% think there is a leadership crisis in the world today, and nearly three in four (74%) say the global economy is in decline. On the plus side, more than half (57%) think their particular country is headed in the right direction.

Why would Trump want to get involved in the legal case of Lev Parnas by approving that his former lawyer should represent him if he was a stranger to Lev Parnas?

What Monica Lewinsky said

Foreign AffairsMeet Trump’s Deplorable Impeachment Defense Team by Blindersoff(op): 9:03pm On Jan 17, 2020
https://compote.slate.com/images/cbfe157c-1695-4c13-96a8-44e19cdc9b34.jpeg?width=780&height=520&rect=3000x2000&offset=0x0

On Friday, Donald Trump named his legal team to represent him in the Senate impeachment trial.

Monica Lewinsky, whose extramarital relationship with President Bill Clinton while she was a White House intern was at the center of the last impeachment, had perhaps the most apt reaction to the news.


That team includes:

Kenneth Starr: Starr is the former independent counsel who uncovered a lot of details around Lewinsky and Clinton’s affair, put them in a 435-page report that led to Clinton’s impeachment, and then became a Fox News host who opposes impeaching Trump for attempting to bribe a foreign power into helping him cheat in the 2020 election. In defending Trump on TV this time around, Starr has argued against the “evils of impeachment,” saying “impeachment has become a terrible, terrible thorn in the side of the American democracy and the conduct of American government since Watergate.”

In between being really pro-impeachment and really anti-impeachment, Starr spent some time as the president of Baylor University, a job he lost after a report demonstrated that his administration showed a “fundamental failure” in responding to sexual assaults, including an epidemic of cases involving players on the school’s football team
. Presumably, Trump hired him for his gravitas and to lend historical perspective to the case, but it also could be because he just has a thing for defending sexual predators.


Robert Ray: Ray is the former federal prosecutor who took over from Starr as independent counsel after the Lewinsky scandal. One of Ray’s main jobs was to conclude the investigation of the Whitewater land deal, a failed business investment by Bill and Hillary Clinton, that originally prompted the independent counsel appointment. Ray is the much less famous independent counsel, having concluded there was not enough evidence to prove wrongdoing in the land deal and worked out essentially a plea bargain with Clinton over his false testimony in the Lewinsky case. Ray went on to be arrested for stalking in 2006. As the New York Times reported at the time: “Mr. Ray had been sending e-mail messages to and visiting a 40-year-old Manhattan woman against her wishes after she broke off their relationship about four months ago, the police said.” Only the best people!


Jay Sekulow: Sekulow is the former general counsel for Jews for Jesus. He became a stalwart litigator in support of religious freedom, defending school prayer and government funding of religious institutions. In 2011, he sued to block the construction of an Islamic community center in Manhattan and lost. Sekulow hosts a call-in radio show and has been on Trump’s legal team since at least 2017, making him the longest-standing member of that team. As part of his legal defense, Sekulow got the president to approve an arrangement for the president’s former lawyer, John Dowd, to represent Lev Parnas, an indicted associate of Trump lawyer Rudy Guliani. Parnas has since started cooperating with the impeachment investigation and publicly implicated the president.

Pat Cipollone: Cipollone succeeded Don McGahn as White House counsel in October 2018 after McGahn alleged to special counsel Robert Mueller that Trump had ordered him to falsify records to cover up previous orders to have Mueller removed. Cipollone, who worked as an assistant to Attorney General William Barr in the early 1990s, has been stalwart in his defense of the presidency during the impeachment saga. Most notably, he crafted the strategy of absolute non-cooperation with the impeachment inquiry, penning what has to be the most unhinged letter in the history of the OLC, a legal argument that basically amounted to “witch hunt!” Cipollone’s strategy, which entails refusing to comply with every single lawful subpoena the impeachment inquiry has issued for the White House, resulted in a second impeachment count against Donald Trump, obstruction of Congress, but it has also prevented the disclosure of many possibly important facts surrounding the Ukraine bribery scandal. In that way, Cipollone has probably been Trump’s most effective counsel.


Alan Dershowitz: Dershhowitz is a Harvard Law professor who is famous for his legal defense of O.J. Simpson, Claus von Bülow, and a litany of others. In recent years, he has come under scrutiny for his work representing now-deceased serial sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. One of Epstein’s accusers also accused Dershowitz of sexual assault, a charge he denies. Dershowitz has said he received a massage at Epstein’s house, which was one of the bases of Epstein’s trafficking, but insists he “kept my underwear on during the massage,” and that the massage was done by an “old, old Russian woman.”

This impeachment defense squad is truly an AYFKM all-star team.

Kikiki grin science brainwashed ilk indeed. [s]Yet religious fellas are the ones trooping into hospitals every day to benefit from the fruits of science. Learn to appreciate science, science does not involve playing god. Science is just basically gaining knowledge of facts through observation and experimentation. If these knowledge of facts turn out to be helpful in medical fields, engineering field e.t.c then we apply it to our benefits. That's all! Nothing more to it! [/s]

[s]When you see silly comments from people that science can never do what god can do, you begin to ask yourself are these people ok? Why those it have to be a fight vs your deity? The comparison is unnecessary especially when most of what you enjoy today is all thanks to scientific breakthroughs! Some of these breakthroughs were even by religious people! Where those religious people also trying to fight their god?[/s]


Gbam. Fair enough! You are only re-echoing my position on the subject.


Once again fair enough until you got to the part where I cancelled. It is an unnecessary comparison! Science does not claim to know it all and do it all!
You actually made sense only in the places i did not cancel out. If you understood what i said about science being complimentary then the part i cancelled out should not have been mentioned at all. Plus i never said Science claimed to know it all so i wonder where you got that from. I said this earlier to another poster and i will repeat same to you , "Science is simply "harnessed nature" pointing to God with it's finger".

The word "know" can be twisted around to different meanings... Appearing in pictures with someone doesn't necessarily mean acquaintance.

Disavowing individuals who are inimical to your image isn't rocket science or strange, especially where no one can actually prove acquaintance beyond photos (which are subject to doctoring).
And videos are also subject to doctoring right?

Plus as it stands, Lev Parnas has said he would be willing to testify as a witness at the impeachment hearing at the senate. Do you think he would give out all evidence now or save the best for last? cheesy

From comments on this thread, it's quite obvious many religious Nigerians think science is the enemy, to the extent of rubbishing scientific breakthroughs that have helped humanity. I wish these fellas can be teleported to the stone age era to better appreciate life without the fruits of modern day science.
Stop trying to say what has not been said here. Nobody is saying science is the enemy on the contrary the science brainwashed ilk here think Religion is the enemy.

I actually believe science is complimentary and could not have existed without nature first being there. To me Science is a parasite which only exists because nature exists. Nature gave science life as it were.

Anything science does is simply it utlilizing nature to our advantage and for this i give it a C but to God he gets an A+ for deliberately giving science the tools with which to exist.

Scientist are yet to understand how God created man, yet that guy is believing they can give breath back to a dead being..
Their arguments are actually DOA because science cannot exist without the already pre-existing nature of all things it utilizes plus science most times are successful attempts at making physically available and bringing into physical perception what has been microscopically observed or naturally observed in nature.

Cryonics could only have been conceived because ice first existed. Without this, there would be no cryonics

Even our phones have machine learning. They learn and adjust to our usage patterns.
And the phones EVOLVED to this ability themselves or became Programmed to function in this way but within limits?

Which is it?

This is not true. There are some robots that are embedded with machine learning such that they can train themselves and learn their surrounding by inferring from their earlier knowledge.

Don’t argue with me coz I know what I’m saying.

You’re right about robot not yet having emotions, but that can be possible in the future and you don’t need to rule out the possibility.
You are repeating what I said. Read your own post again

You can clearly see that the machine learning tool they possess are what they came preprogrammed with and not something they developed overtime.

I repeat, a robot can only function within the parameters of it's programming. Still confused? If you are then know that your own words explained to you already even if you cannot see it

You’re the one who brought the analogy of Robots and humans

Think of an analogy that gives ANY credence to the existence of a God.
My analogy of a creator who makes his creation in the context of God to man and Man to robot is very valid unlike yours which has simply been either strawmen or attempts at goal post shifting.

I chose to be very elementary in my discussion with you does not mean I do not know how to turn up the heat. Getting you to understand is my aim and not big grammar

Artificial pump/heart made by who? Thank goodness you admit there could be an artificial heart, if humans could duplicate second most vital organ in the body behind the brain, then we are close to the argument of immortality.
I guess the artificial heart is made from human tissue right?

You will be fine do not worry too much about it

Then why does it matter? There is always something called reverse engineering. Human being were able to create a synthetic heart that functions for few days without the normal natural heart.

If they can be able to achieve that, then in the future, they can actually raise the dead back to life.

Also your argument about robot and human differences in your earlier post is flawed. Do you know about machine learning? Now robot are being created to train themselves without human interference.

That means a robot can actually learn like a human baby who only knows about knowledge through this daily impact with the environment and humanity.
Like I said, a robot only gives what has already been put into it.

No robot can love, hate, lust, be happy, etc because it lacks the ability to do so. Thus learning is not within it's scope of ability. It only does what it is programmed to do.

Try not to be too confused with this
