I hope Nigerians are enjoying their religious, none gay/abortion supporting government.

Barring one or two points, absolutely spot on

Okudiover:
JUST TO DISABUSE SOME PEOPLE'S MINDS:

I have been reading some misinformed views on this street concerning the Democratic and Republican Party in the US for some days now, and I feel I should help straighten out some of the facts. I hope some of these points will help.

1. First of all, we know that the ideologies of the two parties are different in many ways. However, they are there to serve the interest of their people.

2. There are true Christians in both the Democratic Party and Republicans party. There are also non-Christians, atheists, agnostics and extremists in both parties. Therefore, anyone who tells you that the Republican Party is a Christian party while the Democratic Party is non-christian is only telling you a lie from the pit of hell.

3. Jerusalem was not made the capital of Israel by Trump. He only moved the embassy of the US from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in Dec 2017. Jerusalem has been the capital of Israel since 1980. In fact, some parts of Jerusalem is still in Palestine till date.

4. Most Republicans are not against Abortion. They are only against late abortion. While most Democrats believe the government should allow women to take responsibility for their lives. Some top Republicans like Collin Powell, Susan Collins etc are in support of the Democrats opinions on this.

5. Every States in the US is autonomous. So they make their laws internally. That's why each state have different electoral laws as we have seen in the recent elections. That's also why many people are saying there hasn't been any ESTABLISHED manipulation in the elections because they all followed their local electoral laws.

6. Massachusetts was the first state in the US to pass a law recognising gay rights in 2004.

7. As at when Obama came to power in 2009, most states in the US already had gay right laws in practice. So it was not Obama that brought gay law.

8. All American Presidents are Pro-Isreal. Both counties are allies from time immemorial. No matter who becomes the American president tomorrow, this relationship will remain.

9. Most Democrats believe that most present-day Americans are immigrants in the land because the original owners of the country are Native Indians, as such, they believe that Trump's immigration laws separating children from their parents is wrong. But the Republicans, led by Trump thinks Children should be separated from their parents, thereby making them suffer for their parent's wrongdoing.

10. Most Republicans are in support of Gun Rights while most Democrats are opposed to it. One of the biggest supporters of Trump is are the National Rifle Association. We know that many avoidable deaths have occurred in the US because of the lack of gun control but let's save that topic for another day.

11. Trump did not reverse the gay rights bill. He only said transgender should not be enlisted into the US military.

12. There are Republican gays and there are Democrats gays. Thus most Republicans are not opposed to Gay Rights. Unlike what most people in our country he been made to believe.

13. Trump appointed some openly gay people (such as Richard Grenell, whom he appointed as the acting director of national intelligence. Also Tyler Godspeed whom he appointed as Acting Chair of the Council of Economic Advisor) in his administration. Making them the first openly gay people to a cabinet-level position in government. Note: they belong to the Republican Party.

14. The facts that the Democrats fights for gay rights does not mean they are telling people to become gay. They are only demanding that gay people should not be denied the right to life and they should be treated with dignity too.

15. The Supreme Court only gave a judgment to uphold the gay right bill during the Obama administration, thereby nationalising it. It was not Obama that passes the bill. Obama was not the Supreme Court judge.

16. In February this year (2020). The Supreme Court of the US gave judgement outlawing discrimination against gay people. Remember it happened in Trump's regime. So when people say Obama passed a gay rights bill, it's as good as saying Trump passed the bill against the intolerance against gay people.

17. Obama NEVER FORCED any African country to pass gay right laws. He only demanded that they should be treated with dignity as they are humans too.

18. Obama is not gay. We know his wife and children. Joe Biden is not AntiChrist. Kamala Harris is not Jezebel.

19. During the election debates, Trump was asked to denounced white supremacy. He outrightly refused to denounce white supremacy.

20. If God can use Trump, God can use Biden too. So I wish the United States of America the very best as they seek to remain a top country in the world.

Imagine thinking the world will come to an end if other people have the same rights as you.
What a sad sad sad existence.

Same people will fix their mouths to talk about jihadists trying to enforce sharia law all over the world. What’s the difference between you and them?

You want to enforce Christianity on everyone. They want to enforce Islam on everyone. Different sides of same coin.

Hathor5:
Yummy! To say that it looks delicious is an understatement.
How did you prepare the bulgur?

Thanks. I did it like jollof rice

I really wish that one day, we will get to the point where we are focused on what’s important.

Liposure:
very nice

thanks

Grilled chicken, Bulgur, avocado & ranch salad.

gracegrace668:
... To think that a lot of women were carrying ENDSARS placards fighting for the rights of these same men who sit on Nairaland to type trash about them.

You all deserve to be profiled, extorted and shot by SARS. *spits*

Didn’t you see them turn around to blame the women when the looting and violence started? They said it was the feminists’ fault for spear heading and encouraging the protests.
It is honestly very disgusting.
The average Nigerian man with the typical Nigerian mentality doesn’t give a shit about their women.

Too little too late.

Fortunately for them, they operate amongst idiots so they probably won’t lose clients. Their restaurant should be boycotted. Hit them where it hurts. In their pockets.

For the idiots talking about women who go there to look for clients. I’m assuming those women force them into patronizing them? As usual it has to be the women’s fault. Nothing new here.

Smh

Newbreed2018:
Spit on these Northerners, fulanis, Yoloba Muslims, cococandy and all supporters of child rape Una no go die better.

Arrewa the rapist.

Newbreed2018:
Easy bro. Let the Hypocrite cococandy who's a known supporter of rapists come and read this.

Muhammed the fake prophet started this thing of sleeping and fingering of 2 year old toddlers.

E no go better for Muhammed. No Pbuh!

onyechez:
Have you seen anyone from that region condemned the act like the hausa lady outfit ? Have you see anyone from that region speaking against the evil been perpetuated? It means you all are in support
Religion of peace indeed .

That’s besides the main point. If you go to the front page now, there’s probably a few rape stories involving different parts of the country. This one is in the north so the readers blame the religion.

If it happens in the east they will look for something else to blame . Usually it would be the parents if the girl is underage. Or they would blame the girl herself if she’s mature (maybe she being seductive with her outfit, oh why did she visit him ?, why did she accept his gift if she didn’t want to pay with her body?). So many stupid types of excuses.

These useless excuses never get to the point where they are objectively looking at the cause of the rapes which is that the men who do it don’t respect women. we need to quit beating about the bush and call a spade a spade. We have a rape culture. You men need to be more proactive about stopping your gender from committing these crimes. Instead you act like you don’t know that you are the primary culprits when it comes these crimes.

You want to talk about the region where it happened, the religion of the offender, the outfit and background of the victim, all the nonsense that doesn’t matter. except the actual thing that matters.

Now I’m a Muslim . NL sha

Newbreed2018:
Islam-a-bad people. Tueh!

Following the footsteps of Muhammed who was a pedophile.

Another set of Islam-a-bad are the Yoloba Muslims.

Nwaotu10:
I'm not surprised it's coming from their region

Ahmad62:
The north is full of illiterates and fools... 6yr old raped..?? They should skin the suspects alive.... Smh

Oh please shut up. There are no Christian rapists that you know?
Instead of you guys to focus on how to re-educate yourselves into being more responsible co-inhabitants of this earth, you’re making it a regional or religious thing. Whereas all of you have one thing in common and it’s not religion.

Powersurge:
If you want to know the collective mindset of a people, look at what they show concerns about.

You needed to see how Arewa Twitter handle was agog when that lady's dressing surfaced on online. But you will not see them say a word about things like this.

Yep

Eww no

PDPGuy:
Some of the comments are absolute nonsense

and as usual

Huxlebeast77:
A very welcome development, big boy cannot buy his own food in peace again because of hungry olosho.
I yeye animal girl stylishly made me pay for her food yesterday, this things will dress up buy one can water and start to make noise up and down.
At least the sane customer's go get rest of mind now, believe that half truth telling woman at your own peril!

When she didn’t force you to buy food for her.
Some of you are just something else. Why didn’t you table your complaints to her that yesterday when she was stylishly making you pay. You paid like a mumu and now you’re here on NL spreading your misogyny.

CheedyJ:
Having read through comments, I can categorically state with no apologies that most guys here are stewpid & shallow minded...I’m just so shocked by all the trash comments

you’re shocked? I’m not

IamPlato:
How women handle everyday life activities says a lot... Although there is space for exceptions

you actually think your opinion here is valid. Please move aside

Miller the snake can’t help you. Loser

graciousolo:
More countries led by men have done more atrocities than women historically. How many national and global atrocities can be attributed to women? Women have barely held power.

Recently, countries led by women have dealt better with the pandemic than countries led by men.

You speak with confidence from such a shallow, misinformed and myopic place yet you call people dumb.

I wanted to go further in schooling him but what’s the point anyway?

Right. That’s why women’s leadership has been so disastrous to the world right?

IamPlato:
I Dont Know Of Her Being A Jezebel but All I Know Is That, The Biggest Mistake Russia, China and America Can Make Is To Put A Woman In Position Of World Power because women can be unreasonably emotional or sentimental, power should never be in such hands because power can be deadly in the hands of emotional people

I Dont See Biden ruling but Kamala because From Things So Far Biden looks Like A Simp...

When You Need To Control A Man Use A Woman...


What I See Is Biden doing Kamala's Will.



Carry On America...


Life Indeed No Balance, America Has Dump People With Great Leaders, Nigeria Has Intelligent People With Dumb Leaders.


Twisted reality is Basically The Balance Of It

by the way not all nigerians are intelligent oh. not all americans are dumb. dont get it wrong

For some reason only penisès get stolen. Never heard of a stolen vaginaà
The weird fixations with genitaliaà. Lord have mercy.

seborrhic:
Nobody is doing no damn,fuc king recount.
Biden has won,simple.If Trump likes,let him keep fo oling himself and his supporters.
Trump himself knows he has lost,but is strategically doing all this rubbish so as to make it look like he was rigged out and give himself further influence in d eyes of his poorly thinking supporters.
It's exactly the same situation we av here with Buhari:despite his monumental failure in all spheres of Nigeria's life and his ultra divisive way of governing,he still has people,many educated,that publicly still front for him,but privately are going through hell in life because of his misgovernance.
In a way,I am happy Trump is taking this hardline stance and I also hope he doesn't concede defeat because I hope that would end up also hardening Biden's stance when he takes the oath of office and make sure he not only erases any legacy of Trump but even goes as far as making sure he is prosecuted for his numerous fraudulent business history.
I am not comfortable with the conciliatory tone Biden is taking because Trump is an evil, corrupt fellow that should rightfully be made to face justice for his crimes,in business and private life.

Exactly. You don’t play softball with evil people. Conservatives don’t hide their bigotry and their wish to enforce their ideals on everyone, whereas democrats always tend to take the high road . This is not the time for that . Trump needs to go to jail.

...

Apt

I can't wait for 2023 when Nigerians will elect a President worse than Buhari. In an election of a developed nation, all Nigerians are busy discussing is religion. Nothing sensible. Neither Joe nor Trump is a muslim. They labelled Obama a muslim and we saw how all that played out.

Nigeria is very backward because it is inhabited by the most useless and senseless people in the whole universe. The same bulshit they were debating about the nationalities of Buhari and Atiku instead of asking questions that will better their lot. APC did not fail on any of her promises. They don't need to because they are dealing with a bunch of f00ls. Why bother?

They would have to send him packing if they want to regain any sort of credibility.

Guestlander:
I used to respect FFK, unfortunately he seems to be grossly misinformed. To even think that he was a minister!
He went from 5G causing covid to this nonsense. I wonder if something happened to him.

Is there any of them truly qualified for the positions they held?
Bunch of idiots

And this raving lunatic was twice a federal minister....any wonder Nigeria is in deep mess

Is there any of them truly qualified for the positions they held?
Bunch of idiots

Like i said, they were all equally qualified to be chosen as VP. And she got it.

You wouldn’t be screaming affirmative action if a man got it. This here is proof that it is actually needed.

Obviously it’s a subjective assessment since you believe Hilary was qualified yet there were those who didn’t think she was. And even went as far as electing a buffoon to the white house rather than have a woman in there. Should tell you something

Good bye

thebosstrevor1:
That was open competition, they lost and went home, that is what merit is all about, if you don't do well, you go out. if one of the men was chosen by the party as VP, then that is a political affairs but in Harris case, why do they have to make it only a woman thing when it comes to choosing her for VP. Can the party not make it an open affairs for both men and women so that the best will be selected. Why discriminate against men?

Hilary Clinton contested against men and women and reach the finals, she nearly defeated barack obama, because of her record, she was selected as party flag bearer in 2016 but lost to President Trump. that is what merit is all about.

Hilary Clinton competed against men for secretary of state and won it but anyway she was a disaster.

Yes Affirmative action considers all that in addition to, nay after qualification is first considered. It’s actually illegal to give an unqualified person such a position/s because they belong to any of the said groups. However if there is a tie between two similarly qualified people, affirmative action could use their marginalized status as the tie breaker. But.... qualification must come first before group.


Why is this being done? Because historically and currently, belonging to such groups have served and still do serve as hindrances to the progress of individuals who belong to said groups. It was enforced by law and upheld by society that such people should never be in such positions.

People of color still get passed over for jobs they qualify for because of their color. True until today. Women get automatically sidelined from consideration because of assumptions by ignorant folks about how they would lead when chosen, etc etc.

For having endured centuries of such limitations, affirmative action is a way to consciously make amends where possible. It’s not a handout. It’s not pity. It’s not quota. I wish people would speak on things they actually understand.


The “implication” that standards are lowered to accommodate such people is your personal bias showing. In this case your bias is because it’s a woman. If anything, people of marginalized groups have had to work harder and are always expected to prove themselves worthy of the position they are being considered for. They consistently have to show they are fit for the job, or the position, what have you.

This is something a white man in the west or any man in other patriarchal societies typically does not have to worry about.

thebosstrevor1:
Maybe we are both using different dictionary

according to my dictionary

Affirmative action is a policy initiative in which a person's nationality, sex, religion, and caste are taken into account by a company or a government organization to extend employment or education opportunities

Affirmative action also implies reducing the standards to accept people of different nationality, sex and religion so that they can be represented

Affirmative action is not about merit or choosing the best qualified in a group, it is all about lowering the standard so that those people can be represented.

There are research out there that shows the different standards of qualification for white students and black students during admission into the university. this what schools do, they lower the bar for grades and test scores for underrepresented groups and by creating an admissions standard "based on racial preference rather than academic achievement

This soup looks great

RentedReality:
Happy Sunday guys

Lunch is Afang soup cooked with red and yellow pepper served with fresh beef. This part of the beef is the smaller foreleg muscle, it is extra crunchy, and easily dances down your throat in rich crayfishy taste released by fresh palm oil coloured like a Nnewi sunset.

Note the Afang is pounded, not blended. More than worth the effort.

If you are wondering the difference, think Poundo vs Pounded yam.

Yea right

thebosstrevor1:
Men do not get positions for just being men, they get positions for being qualified and experienced

I have never seen in the international stage where only men are told to apply for a job

but there are many positions in the international stage where only women are selected for the job. for example the WTO and DNC VP.

Why are they not allowing open competition between men and women?

why do they have to select women based on gender rather than merit
