Nigeria didn't have any Elections
The cabal selected one of their own and Force him on Nigeria.

That's not what I saw or understood happened. I saw people campaigning before elections and people voting during elections and those votes being counted and a winner declared.

Guess I can't help you with your distrust of the system, but bet you'd have trusted it if your preferred candidate had won. Magas are like you I guess.

So we should try harder by carrying guns during elections? Because obviously those who have the guns and the weapons call the shot in Nigeria. Is that democracy?
Under democracy, people are being killed daily. The army that cannot restore peace in SE and NC should go and fight in a country where no one is being killed?.

Sometimes I wish military can take over this country for like a month, clear all the terrorists in this country whether UGM or bandits or boko haram, kidnappers etc. Then hand over the government to a civilian .

A country that is not at war yet have hundreds dying weekly from insecurity

Guns are not what won the last election, so I don't think carrying guns is the way to go. Most here who wanted Tinubu to win did not carry guns. They just went to the election booth with their pvcs and elected whom they wanted. Besides, what would you do with your guns if not kill people and increase insecurity in the country?

Better is you organise and present Nigerians with credible desirable options and trust us to choose as we did in the last election. But if you choose to carry guns, then expect us to hunt you down and incarcerate you as we do with boko haram and unknown gunmen, both who carried guns, and to the best of my knowledge, won zero seats in all elections.

Do know that military will not take over for a month, so be careful what you wish for.

Are they experiencing buyer's remorse, I wonder. After all, they voted for Tinubu, no?

P.s. I am obidient, but I believe the current outcomes would have been what would have been experienced under Obi because he too would have scrapped fuel subsidy and dual exchange rate. In fact, it would have been much worse because Nigerians would convince themselves he did it so Nigeria would split.

Kipaji:
In 2023, you don't need to sleep with a sperm donor to get pregnant with his seed. He can just masturbate in the other room and you manually his sperm into your genitals, no need for physical contact, no need for you to see him. Besides, there are so many technologies that can have you impregnated without having to touch or even see the sperm donor.

Thanks. I'm very aware. I can even buy sperm in a shop and use a turkey baster to insert it in me. And as said, adoption is a valid option.

Zionmdde:
Who are the "we"
Who were Paid trillions of taxpayers money to conduct the election?
Were "we" the ones that disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of eligible voters?
So If "we" call the shots, or "we" should be held responsible for the failure of the government, then why should there be a democratic government in the first place?

Anyway Nigeria should allow Niger deal with their issues. After all we are no role models to any nonsense democracy practiced here

We, are the Nigerians, as in all of us. And it is we who are responsible for the government we elected, including obidient me who was unable to convince enough people to elect my preferred Obi. Basically, I failed, but I am still part of the we, and should consider trying harder and starting earlier next time.

As for Niger, Nigeria should only keep quiet if it wants the military to do a coup and take over the country Nigeria. Hopefully, those of us who lived through military rule in Nigeria would consider if it's better than having the opportunity to try again every 4 years to elect a more competent ruler or be ruled in perpetuity by an unelected soldier who would likely be a dictator.

The choice is entirely ours, as are the consequences.

So those who thugs prevented from voting and those whose votes were altered at the collation centre, and those who votes were destroyed should try harder next time. That's your own definition of democracy.

I shake my head
I stand by what I said, Nigeria is not a democratic country.

Yes. That is the definition of democracy. Unless you expect it to be perfect of course. America is a democratic country, and they also have illegal deterrent to people voting in some areas, you'd find.

Democracy is run by you (we) the people, and is therefore subject to how competent or incompetent we are. If we can not organise ourselves to conduct a smooth election, that is on us, and we should continue to endeavour to run our elections better. It's still democracy, regardless, despite what you stand by.

"Strict" sounds like beatings and corporal punishments, which have been found to be ineffective tools in proper child rearing and education, and is why many countries do not allow it.

Better is to give your children the tools to reason effectively, and they would more likely make the better and right life choices.

Zionmdde:
Nigeria is not a democratic country. Those that hate Nigeria are those that prevented citizens from exercising their democratic rights to vote and have their votes counted

Anyway don't be scared, an army that has a combination of hausas yorubas and igbos cannot carry out a coup. I hope those dumb idiots who thinks that one region dominating the highest ranks in armies will do them any good think again

Nigeria is at war, there are lots of insecurity issues to deal with here. Why not allow nigeriens handle their problems since their citizens are not complaining

Nigeria just had an election to choose it's leader so by all accounts, Nigeria is a democratic country.

We all must have read Things Fall Apart, and must therefore know that "if the hunter has learnt to shoot without missing the bird should learn to fly without perching" instead of giving up or claiming the hunter has become too good at shooting it when it perches.

Anyone who was prevented from "exercising their democratic rights to vote and have their votes counted" should work harder next time.

As for one region dominating the army (untrue by the way), others should encourage it's region to join the army so they are not dominated.

Nigeria can not and should not remain neutral, but should not send forces to other countries because they had a coup.

These coups seem to be the works of those who dislike democracy, and Nigeria saying nothing encourages the democracy dislikers in Nigeria to attempt a coup too, which Nigeria must resist now before it crosses into our borders.

Nigeria and other democratic countries must stop doing business with coup countries, and must strongly state its dislike of the coups.

sotall:
To read and sing it is one thing but the reality facing you is different. Of what use is "unity" written in words when the country is divided along multiple lines?

Secondly, seems you are really inspired by texts from Abrahamic religions as you always back up your opinions with them.

But i say to you Budaatum, why not try to experience the the human-God consciousness the writers of these books experienced thousands of years ago? And then you can write down the nature of your God and his will for mankind.
I am very sure what you will write down will be significantly different from what you currently read in the bible and Quran.

First, I am inspired by every book I read. And yes, religious books inspire me or I would not bother reading them. These days I actually read books to program my thinking, and I ensure they do by reading them (or should I say the one book that I have been reading for years now) many times over.

Second, the human-god consciousness bears no actual meaning to me, and it's more important that I increase my own consciousness of myself and be conscious of those around me. I am after all aware that humans wrote the books and therefore created the gods, so why am I bothering about the gods they wrote about as opposed to the consciousness that made them write the books, and how it's readers perceive what they read?

As for unity, say I form a company and hire people, I'd be stupid not to hire the best candidates who would increase my profit regardless of their religion or tribe, and those who do hire based on religion or tribe tend to fail a lot. And it's not so much unity that would make me disregard tribe and religion of those I hire but my greed and my desire for huge profit. It doesn’t matter if a person is Muslim or Christian or whatever so long as the person makes me profit.

No, they need an education and critical thinking skills. Normally the uninformed(uneducated) know they are uninformed(uneducated) and strive not to be. In this Trump era those people don't. Illiteracy is a badge of honor. Look at your posts in this thread. You are still posting on the indictments, making arguments based on them, but still haven't read them to be informed on them. I would never dare engage in a discussion about something I haven't thoroughly researched out of fear of being made look stupid by someone who is in the know. I would just sit, listen and learn. That same fear of shame doesn't seem to exist with the Modern Day Republican party.

But seriously, Trump is a 2x impeached soon to be 4x indicted ex-president and he is leading the Republican primary. Google John Edwards and you'll see the difference in the parties.

See how they believe they are in the know about buda though it's very obvious they are very ignorant about buda.

They are not worth noticing I'd say, and definitely not worth acknowledging, as that makes them seem relevant.

I am beyond shocked by that statement. So because Trump said he could declassify any document by just thinking of it, that makes it a fact. Truly Trump must be God according to MAGAs. I am sure that Trump could make a baby by just thinking about it according to them. Even Trump himself did not believe he declassified the documents before leaving the white house.
The irony is that whenever Trump is caught in a obvious lie, they resort to he was only joking, he was being sarcastic or he was only boasting.

If you are shocked that some believe the alternative facts dump feeds them then I'm afraid it's you who don't believe what you see with your own eyes.

I think it does. We vote, it's counted, and the person with the most votes is the people's choice. Some losers would not accept it though, but who cares what losers think?

And let me add that we Obidients lost the last election but some don't respect the people's choice, which just shows their obedience was short term and therefore not obidience at all.

What would be the point of being skeptical about skepticism?

Reexamining one's state of mind (or thinking), perhaps, or that of others?

I can after all have been a sceptic and now doubt my own scepticism by reexamining my sceptic position, and one may doubt the scepticism of others and examine their scepticism too.

The agnosticism and scepticism that one doubts and reexamines must not necessarily be one's own, since a belief that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God can be examined in its own right, as Mayn has proposed be done here I dare say.
