Timiofak:
What Nigeria needs is federalism, or we could outrightly split it, but it would result in conflict. So federalism is the major thing to solve out problems

Each region would make there own money and spend it on the particular internal issues they are facing

There would be a president though, but the job would not be as powerful as it is now. In fact it would be undesirable.
If every state had federally funded investments, I'd agree, except wealthy regions will use their decades of federally funded investments to overtake the entire country which would not be fair.

A lot of federal money after all went into Lagos, Delta and even Kaduna State to make them the powerhouses they are today.

current democrats are too goody goody two shoes and aren't long term strategic thinkers, they don't play to their strengths, they play defence not offence, and instead of embracing the increasingly popular liberal agendas like minimum wage, Medicare for all amongst others, they allow themselves get bogged down in gun rights, anti-LGBTQ and anti-abortion talking points of the right trying to pander to those voters whose minds are already made up while alienating their base and failing to convince the undecideds. I'm happy ossorf has spine and is going on the offensive, but democrats need to start mobilising their base in Republican held districts, encouraging voter registration and participation long before primaries and election. They need to get their shyte together
I hope you recognise that "mobilising their base in Republican held districts, encouraging voter registration and participation long before primaries and election" is the reason Biden won? And I agree they should do more of it. In fact, we Nigerians should adopt the same tactic we have learnt here, I hope.

You fail, however, to recognise that the Democrat Party, like most parties, is a coalition of different groups fighting for different things. Take away those things you think are bogging the party down then tell me what support they'll have.

I know all these and the party system I talked about does not concern the US alone but generally in every democracy take for instance the UK and political parties in Europe
Parties grow and evolve over time. And as you should well know, UK and most of Europe, all have far more than two parties which is why we have coalitions like the one that brought Buhari to power.

Trump's second term a conspiracy too till the end of 2024.
So, Pence was always deep blue or whatchamacallit rino, and never supported trump? I wonder if Pence threw spanners in maga too to make orange turd look bad.

I'm glad to say your madness has an expiration time of 12:01 on 20 January 2021 when trump supposedly begins his second term or you conspiracise he is despite being tossed out.

Encourage them, why? And for what? Is there no brain inside their own head with which they can encourage themselves?

Now to business of the day.

1. Trump's wingman says game on!
3. Lin Wood talks about Pence getting arrested.
4. Sec of state removed Pence from the picture he tweeted. Does this mean Pence is no longer on the side of patriots or just a psyop?
It does not bother you that pysop Pence has been in your camp the last 4 years? Kind of shows the camp leaders incompetence, don't you think?
Romance › Re: Why Do Nigerian Girls Always Leave Their Home Based Boyfriend For Abroad Guys ? by budaatum: 3:55am On Jan 03, 2021
BUPBUP:
A friend was engaged to be married in 4 months , his fiancee broke off the relationship and went with Abroad guy . why do that if she really loved this guy?
First, your op generalised from that one experience to "Nigerian girls". If your friend reasoned the same way and I were his fiancee I'd drop him too as it shows a deficiency in reasoning.

Second. You assume "really loved" as the reason for their betrothal when it could have been convenience or desperation on her or his part.

Fact is, just as men go for certain attributes in the woman they desire, so do women go for particular attributes they desire in men. Unfortunately, the desirable attributes are not usually the same for either gender, hence so many mismatches. Your friend is fortunate that bullet dodged him.

Sue who, exactly? Did the man and his company drag her to her death or did she willingly, albeit foolishly, go usher all by herself?

She was not employed by the man and his company, or was she?

BUPBUP:
does that mean Nigerians girls love is conditional and based on material things ? what if they meet a richer guy than the one they left their boyfriend for .
I think you jump to the conclusion that Nigerian girls leave for material things and money, though saying that, you already jumped to the conclusion that "Nigerian girls are quick to fall for guys living abroad" as if "their home based boyfriend" was the richest boy they could find.

Have you considered that some may leave their Nigerian boyfriend for one abroad who just treats them better or respects them more or simply provides them with superior opportunities? After all, love is indeed conditional though you seem to have implied it should not be.
Christianity Etc › Re: Is This Particular Biblical Passage Still Effective In 2021 by budaatum: 3:22am On Jan 03, 2021
Kobojunkie:
Did Jesus Christ teach that women where lesser than men in His Kingdom? undecided

Did Jesus Christ suggests that there should exist any form of inequality as far as His followers are concerned? undecided

Did He not instead warn that no one of His serve as an authority over the others in His name? undecided
And that the "least amongst us is the greatest"? Yet, here as op has pointed out, do we still have Paul rearranging the order back the way it was before Christ reordered it.

Goes to show how important it is to apply the use of the brain and mind God put in us or we'd likely not know whether to believe the words purported to be God's or Jesus' or those of Paul.

Love the fact it's strictly your opinion but based on the evidence it's one I share. Unfortunately, when his congregants drop as flies he'll preach the segment about enemy attacks without mentioning he is the enemy who is attacking them with his ignorance and unwiseness.

One can hope his congregation learn to recognise his fruit for what it is before it costs them too much.

One of the funniest shyte that I have ever read. If we were to go by Tax status to determine who gets Knighted and who doesn't, quite a lot of people would have their Knighthood withdrawn starting with Sir Richard Branson.
And Sir Philip Nigel Ross Green.

See this though. Its not unusual, it seems.

Exactly what they want you to think... Even if we divide, who will rule us... The same people... They want to remove HOPE from the situation.

Having a young president is just a means to an end but... recognizing our problem, which is the PRIVATE SECTOR and their giants... that spreads these nonsense, the Elites, as you call them...

Check the history of wars, destruction, conquests... you will see, as I call them thieves, having a hand in the matter with stupid aid of the government!

You can only now imagine why America is what is today... it was because of their so called elites!

What people do not realise is that the government are the "big babies" of every society, so they will naturally gravitate to where their source of happiness comes from... So Nigerian love wealth, who do you think they will support, the people?

Our problem is that we have realised our problem... Restructuring and Secession cannot resolve it...


PS: Sorry for the long letter but it has to be written!
Consider:

Our problem is that we have not realised our problem... Restructuring and Secession cannot resolve it...

Because, "the PRIVATE SECTOR and their giants... that spreads these nonsense, the Elites, as you call them...", are not the problem.

We, our individual selves, are the problem.

Do know that I somewhat agree with the rest.

We are here being educated by you to "solve 1 bit of the problem" yet you underestimate our ability to "solve 1 bit of the problem", why is that? Do you underestimate your own abilities to learn?

ROFLMAO
grin cheesy cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy cheesy
You are hasty, junkie. If you bothered to ask, you'd learn that Jesus, and the so called Word of God, and even that which many understand to be God from it's reading, are all images, as far as buda is concerned. They are understandings we have from what we read and are no different to images because it is rather obvious that an Almighty God would be much greater than anything humans can possibly conceive in our puny minds

Do know that you are in no way required to subscribe to buda's understanding, but you will find that most consider Jesus Christ to be a superior version of God than Yahweh is or they'd be Jews.

Definitions. Here is a good place to start.
