Crime › Re: Dominique Pélicot Admits He's A Rapist by budaatum(op): 7:00am On Dec 04, 2024
“We had to prepare her for the fact she was not only sexually abused, but that there was a real intention to degrade her.” Babonneau refers to videos filmed “on the night of her birthday; on New Year’s Eve; on Valentine’s Day; in her daughter’s bed; on her dining room table; in her car at a motorway service station”.

Gisèle’s reaction to the footage was complicated. “I remember her being profoundly disturbed by the fact she was snoring. There she was, naked, there were penetrations, she is filmed choking with a penis in her mouth and Dominique Pelicot is telling the man ‘gently’ and ‘let her breathe’, and she knew people would watch that – but what she was most ashamed of was her snoring,” Babonneau says.

“She was also terrified of what people would think about her – and her family. Would people think she was stupid to have let what happened to her happen for 10 years? How could she have been raped for 10 years in her sleep?”

The media has been manipulating you obviously. Like it has shown in the last election cycle. Almost everything they said about Trump was false and mischaracterization

That's why they told you that the election was close even Kamala internal team knew all along that it was not close
Funny that you think everyone thought the election was close because the media said so. Some of us actually wait to see the evidence and the facts after every vote is counted before we claim a win. But hey.

Can't say the media manipulated me about who and what dump is as you eloquently described though since there's lots of evidence confirming. But as I was once told and have seen for myself, people don't vote morals they don't feel in their pockets, least the majority didn't.

Basilico spreads lies here and I'm wondering if you've bought them and that's what manipulated your mind.

So, the media manipulated you and made you see dump as you did then but you now see him different?

Personally, I think you were spot on then, but I guess you'd claim the media is manipulating me.

After all impersonation is a crime. And the marriage wouldn't even stand up in court when he disputes the signature and photos don't show his presence.

And what will she do if he now does want to marry her? She can't because it will be bigamy, and he wouldn't want to when he finds her scam out.

For those who say he ain't ready, she sure ain't worth it I'd say.

It was difficult for residents of the house to access the house due to the security of the house, like electric barbed wires and strong doors, among others.
The sad irony is, Apart from the distressing fact the fire brigade took an hour to arrive, the security he installed to keep people out prevented his neighbours from entering to help.

why not get into the spirit realm yourself and find out answers to such dumb questions? It is only in Nigeria that "wana-be atheist still ask such questions. There is nothing like atheism just some confused dumb people who are destined for destruction.
Actually, it is not only in Nigeria that such questions are asked. More advanced countries have asked those same questions, including what and where exactly is this so called spirit realm, and have come up with valid answers. Its why they don't pray for their daily bread like most Nigerians do but instead feed themselves from the labour produced by the sweat off their brow. Its also the reason many japa to those countries.

Ever8090:
You believe nothing comes from nothing in this life and you also want to apply same logic on a realm you no nothing about. That you don't believe in spirituality does not mean it does not exist.
First, I don't believe, period.

Adam believed he would die if he ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and ignorantly walked past it for God knows how long until Eve decided to use her own God given senses to check if it would kill her, only to find it was good for gaining wisdom and for opening eyes, and she freed herself and her ignorant Adam from naked slavery from whence they went on to populate the entire earth and live for almost a thousand years.

You believe because you haven't bothered to ask and knock and seek and check so that you may know. And my advice to you is that you accept Christ into your life so you can be freed from the slavery of ignorance.

Ofcourse, you're not tired of going to court.... This is why I will not argue any further.... As I said experience is the best teacher.... I wish you well in making your case against APC's massive rigging in 2027....
If APC win in 2027, I will not be here crying they rigged it just as I was not here crying the last election was rigged when my Obi lost. I have not, anywhere in our discussion, accepted Tinubu won because he rigged the election, so I'm not about to start that stupidity in 2027.

Experience has taught me that I should not be blaming the winner for being smarter than me, but that I should endeavour to be smarter than the opposition next time.

Show me just one, and I shall consider conceding to you recalling the current president.

Tinubu can not be impeached today if majority of Nigerians want that because Nigerians have no right whatsoever to impeach a president!

At best, majority of Nigerians can ask their senators and representatives to impeach Tinubu on their behalf, but since you admit that he has already captured them and all other institutions, I'm certain you can see how they might not bother impeaching him because they are captured.

Seriously, I am bothered that you fail to note, and therefore debase, the only power Nigerian citizens are constitutionally given as far as choosing or removing a president is concerned, and hope you spend some time informing yourself before the next election so you are not here asking us to impeach the next duly elected president too.

No, I am not tired of going to court, just as I would not be tired if I run to be elected and lose. I should learn to fly better instead of blaming the hunter for shooting without missing.

If I were smart, I would not even wait until it is time to go to court, but would be educating my supporters now long before the election on how to deter election rigging and to gather evidence of any election rigging that does occur so that I could use it in court.

It's why I despair with my Obi. By now he should be organising and educating people for the next election already, but I don't think he's doing enough, and so will not win the next election, sadly.

Experience will indeed be the best teacher. After I suffer from not bothering to use my pvc and vote and instead suffer because I ignorantly sat on my lazy ass and let idiots vote my president, I will indeed one day wake up and stop being a stupid irresponsible fuq and vote and make it count!

You speak as if impeachment is illegal or not an equal constitutional remedy as elections and voting....
Actually, you infer that I speak as if impeachment is illegal. And I think you are just making that up to justify yourself

The process for impeaching a President in Nigeria is contained in Chapter 6, Part 1, Section 143 of the 1999 Constitution, which anyone can go read online.

You may also read about it here, so you may understand how it is not just the people who get to impeach a president, and that you'd need APC senators and representatives to vote turkey for Christmas.

Bebigiby1:
Nigeria is currently experiencing what I will refer to "state capture" under this government.... In this scenario no institution is beyond the direct influence of the president, not even the other arms of government.
That, sir, is democracy! It is state capture of government institutions by a president, especially if the president in power has a majority in the Senate and the House.

You will forgive me for mentioning USA, but it is the same power Trump will have when he's President of the United States of America. He will capture every government institution in America, at least till midterm when I hope he loses the majority.

Fact is, if you can't vote for whoever you want as president, you definitely can not impeach whoever you don't want as president.

Only fools do not learn from the past and improve the electoral process so votes count. And if we don't learn, we'd all just continue suffering until we do decide to learn.

As I said earlier, Tinubu's government is not transparent, the main reason behind subsidy removal and naira floating maybe a selfish one.... It may just be to enable him easily get a loan from IMF/World Bank..... Again one may ask, did he really completely remove subsidy or floated the Naira? What happens when you, many other Nigerians vote and they rig the result again, will you call for a revoltion then or wait again to vote in 2031?
Personally, I don't do maybes. I definitely don't from "maybe" start creating some conspiracy I have no evidence for, because I do not like deceiving myself.

Just read what you posted. First you claim "the main reason behind subsidy removal and naira floating maybe a selfish one", then you "ask, did he really completely remove subsidy or floated the Naira". Don't you think you should go do some research so you know instead of "maybe"?

If we vote and they rig the result, the people who lost will take the evidence to court (and please do bother telling me the courts are compromised too, or I'll just repeat what I said for INEC that our judges are not from Mars), and prove they rigged the result and get them thrown out. But if they can't prove they rigged the result, we will just try again in 4 years time. That's what Trump did and so can you. It is the power of democracy to teach the process of gradual transformation and improvement.

Besides, we Nigerians do hardly revolt. We do alooter instead.

You are very welcome to think campaigning on tax cuts is not the same as vote buying. As for me, the only difference is whether you get paid up front or after the elections, and going by how little trust Nigerians have in politicians, I can see how they'd rather be paid in advance before the elections especially if they can get paid by all the parties and still vote for whoever they prefer.

If there are loopholes in the elections, there'd be loopholes in your impeachment, but do know that Jonathan did not stand at every poll both ensuring elections were fair, and neither did Tinubu stand there making them unfair. Besides, there's no way you can convince me Jonathan could have beaten Buhari because by the time of that election, most Nigerians were like "PDP? Never Again!" And that's why Atiku lost to Tinubu too. Or have you conveniently forgotten how we were discovering bags of Naira in ghanamustgoes hidden away in soakaways during Jonathan's tenure?

If you want a "highly decentralized governing system", you are going to hope someone campaigns for it and people vote for it, because that's the only way you will get whatever system you prefer in this democratic dispensation we are in.

We are not going to get what we do not elect.


Bebigiby1:
You're wrong when yoy said Trump campaigning on tax cuts is the same as vote buying in Nigeria.... Trump campaigning in tax cuts is not vote buying as he was only stating what he will do if elected which was what many Americans want.... In the case of Nigeria, vote buying is criminal act were voters are paid by politicial party agents to vote for their candidates.... you can not compare that to Trump campaigning about tax cuts.....

You said "What I think is we Nigerians are insufficiently competent to conduct a free and fair election. And instead of learning to conduct elections better, some like you are giving up claiming your vote does not count. INEC after all is made up of we Nigerians...." Again, you are wrong as Nigeria's 2015 presidential election was one of most credible since 1999 by Jonathan's government... this was made possible because Jonathan personally did not want meddle in the election.... Unfortunately, subsequent presidents did the opposite and abused their incumbent powers.... As I said in my earlier post, Nigeria's president have god-link powers as far as elections are concerned because certain constitutional loopholes like for example in the appointment of the INEC chairman and the appointment of CJN (Chief Justice)..... Such loopholes will mean that a person with dubious character like Tinubu who has no regards for the law can easily abuse it to ensure election results favor his party and government..... This is why no amount votes cast by Nigerians against APC can can remove them from power..... Above all, I came to the final conclusion that Nigerians were better off in a highly decentralized governing system not because of elections riggings or corrupt government but because of the systemic injustice that exists as result of the tribal religious sentiments that are rooted in the culture of the major tribes in Nigeria which have been the bane towards uniting the nation since independence....

The collective effort needed to salvage the country and save Nigerians from impending doom will happen when majority of Nigerians irrespective of tribe accept the ultimate truth that no genunine progress can be made unless they tackle this underlying issues....
See the above? I am saying our collective responsibility is we all vote and ensure our votes count. If we don't, no one will suffer an "impending doom" more than our collective Nigerian selves.

Having said that, I must say that I am very pleased Tinubu removed fuel subsidy and floated Naira. Yes, it came with hardship, but that is the consequence of having not removed fuel subsidy and floated Naira way back when the likes of Obasanjo proposed it.

The downside however is she'd be the first unelected female president, and that's no good.

Why do you think or believe anyone who counts your impeachment votes will not be compromised? And that's apart from the fact no one one will bother.

For your information, I do not believe or think INEC is compromised, nor do I believe INEC rigged the vote. I doubt more people would have voted for Atiku than Tinubu, and my own Obi did not stand a chance having started so late. As for vote buying, when Trump promises tax cuts to Americans if he wins, he is buying votes!

What I think is we Nigerians are insufficiently competent to conduct a free and fair election. And instead of learning to conduct elections better, some like you are giving up claiming your vote does not count. INEC after all is made up of we Nigerians. Or do you think we go and bring INEC people from Mars to come and conduct elections for us?

Nigerians can only push for a national reset by electing, with their votes, a person who campaigns to nationally reset. The other option Is a military takeover of government, but I'm glad you seem far too intelligent to suggest anything as devastatingly drastic as that.

If you noticed the title of my thread is "Tinubu Is BAD, Nigerians Must Impeach And Remove....."
Nigerians can not impeach a president. You'd know this if you bothered to read the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

What Nigerians can do is rise up and vote at elections for whomever we want, but here you are arguing that we can't even do that because votes, according to you, do not count.

If your votes do not count at election, they certainly do not count for an impeachment that no one is designated to bother acknowledging not to talk of count.

If Tinubu is bad, impeach him by voting him out at the next election, or don't bother and live through another 4 years of his supposed badness.

The choice is entirely ours.

Maybe you will wake up from your unrealistic idealistic mindset by 2027 after a prolonged economic devastation caused by Tinubu's government, you will finally wake up when just like 2023, you realize that your vote did make any difference to stop Tinubu re-election in 2027 which by then he would've consolidated absolute power and all institutions like the judiciary will be totally dead, making it impossible to stop him.... your advocacy for a revolution by then will be louder than mine but it will be too late to reverse the deep damage done to Nigeria and Nigerians.....
If, when, Tinubu wins in 2027, which is very likely, I will come here to show you how 100 million Nigerians registered to vote but only like 20 million actually voted and less than 10 milion elected Tinubu while the rest were doing you and your vote does not count.

If like 50 million Nigerians choose not to be irresponsible fuqers and instead assert the power of their pvcs and vote, we will elect our president.
