IbadanNews:Yes they do with proof of identification. However you will be foolish to go repark it in same spot |
EgunMogaji2: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 |
IbadanNews: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 |
Sunofgod:No vehicle is being damaged. It is a simple tow mechanism |
Racoon:I am sure you saw that it is an OPINION and not facts same way your posts are YOUR OPINION and not facts. ![]() You go soon dey alright. ![]() |
naijapips04: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? |
Racoon:Your own frustration will frustrate you eventually |
Lmao. ![]() Laughing in green cap. ![]() When will people ever learn that the Supreme court ruling is final and moping the streets with your tears and clothes will not change that. Even if they like let them carry out per second demonstration it is useless. This simply shows that either none of them understood the reason behind the judgement which is very clear and a well justified ruling or Everybody in PDP are legally illiterate and only know how to behave like touts when judicial decisions do not favour them Please this Green cap Ihedioha forgot on this table in the imo government house was found on this dummy head in somebody's house in Mbaise and the person is looking for a way to return it to ihedioha does anyone have his phone number? ![]()

*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. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2020/01/18/01/23545858-7901215-image-a-89_1579310866754.jpg 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.

His contacts with a mystery person with a Belgian exchange are included in the latest document release https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2020/01/17/23/23543272-7900823-image-a-72_1579302202830.jpg Hyde says 'F*** that b****' in relation to former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2020/01/17/23/23409622-7900823-Hyde_says_F_that_b_in_relation_to_former_U_S_ambassador_to_Ukrai-a-18_1579304378727.jpg '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 down ' 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. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2020/01/18/01/23543160-7901215-One_cryptic_series_of_texts_from_Hyde_mentioned_Yovanovitch_secu-a-105_1579312021091.jpg One cryptic series of texts from Hyde mentioned Yovanovitch security and asked 'what I would like to do and what is in it for them' https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2020/01/17/23/23543166-7900823-image-a-77_1579302576872.jpg 'They will let me know when she's on the move': Hyde said he was 'down in Ecuador I believe climbing volcanoes' at the time of the messages https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7901215/New-messages-mystery-Belgian-source-fed-detailed-information-Ukraine-ambassador.html?ito=social-twitter_dailymailus Mynd44, Lalasticlala |
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.” https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/01/donald-trump-bribery-laws?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=onsite-share&utm_brand=vanity-fair&utm_social-type=earned Mynd44, Lalasticlala |

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 Finland Australia Netherlands Germany 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. 10 best countries Switzerland Canada Japan Germany Australia United Kingdom United States Sweden Netherlands Norway 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. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-worlds-trust-in-the-us-just-hit-a-record-low-2020-01-15 Mynd44, Lalasticlala |
For those who still claim that Trump does not know Lev Parnas i am sure you can read in red where it states 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 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
|
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. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/01/meet-trumps-deplorable-impeachment-defense-team.html Mynd44, Lalasticlala |
turl:Tell that to the scientists who are arguing FOR it and using already existing Scientific falsifications to back it up like the String theory. Before you speak learn to follow my directives about reading up the arguments for an against by scientists so you would not make a fool of yourself |
kevoh:If you had an atom of sense you should have asked the writer a simple question such as SCIENCE HAS NO ANSWER TO WHAT? And not just lumping together all he said to mean what your brain wants you to think it means simply because you view Religion as the enemy. Could it be that Science has no answer to death? To life from nothing? To everlasting life? Take your pick |
kevoh:Do you see you are now the one seeing religion as the enemy? Does that not make you a hypocrite? |
kevoh: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". |
Angelfrost: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? ![]() |
kevoh: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. |
Ubdavis:Yet smarter than you scientifically brainwashed |
Ubdavis:I am 100% Pentecostal |
Felixamos: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 End Of Discussion |
atheistandproud:And the phones EVOLVED to this ability themselves or became Programmed to function in this way but within limits? Which is it? |
kimlee3:The beauty of science, always TRYING to unravel the ALREADY EXISTING THINGS MADE BY GOD |
LegendHero:You are repeating what I said. Read your own post again 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 knowledgeYou 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 |
27Pushing30: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 |
pacespot:I guess the artificial heart is made from human tissue right? You will be fine do not worry too much about it |
LegendHero: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 |
