You people's analysis is like those of the polling Nostradamus.

If Russia is this powerful would they need men from Korea? Would they need arms from Iran, Korea and China?

Have you ever heard where America requested arms from a third party?

No mind them jare. Russia must be so desperate that they are turning to North Korea, a country much poorer and backward than them. Talk about a marriage of convenience. I can imagine how many North Koreans would use this opportunity to defect.

IMAliyu:
Well, we can expect Trump to force concessions on Ukraine to give up Russian occupied territory, and have cease fire with Russia.
Meaning Putin wins and saves face.

And what message would that send to others? That you can wake up and one day and grab your neighbors territory without consequences? Can you imagine even Benin did that to us or Cameroun?

Wow! This is turning to a World War. Russia must be really getting desperate. Either way, I hope Pres. Biden provides Ukraine everything they need before they leave office before Trump comes and allows Putin to do whatever he wants.

Sorry former capitano, football is still seen as a thing of play in this country and sadly you can't take the owners of this clubs to court because they are state-owned...

Like bro, that statement in itself is just staggering! Like how is that even possible? Like where in the world is a football team state owned? can someone tell me? Can you imagine Bayern Munich being run by their State govt? This is why things don't work in this country because almost every sector is state owned. The fact that most Nigerians still don't understand the role and limitations of govt still blows my mind. Like there are some things that govt should do and there are some things they should stay away from.
Let me give you an example. During the OBJ administration, the govt told Shell to come help them run their refineries but Shell turned them down. They said NO! they don't want to work with the amateurs and the unqualified people the govt and I don't blame Shell for that. Can you imagine working with govt appointees who you didn't hire and who are not qualified? do you know how frustrating that could be? who is going to take the blame when things don't work out? Shell? the govt?
That's the same thing we are dealing with almost every aspect of life in Nigeria. Can you imagine a govt appointee running an oil refinery or a football club? Imagine how horribly run both organizations will be. Nigeria's problem is not only corruption but mismanagement and this one of the examples of mismanagement. Govt needs to learn to stay in there lane for goodness sakes.

Welcum:
I thought it was a case of poor investment strategies. But no. Instead, Nigeria happened to him as it happens to many of us.

Nlfpmod

How in the world should a whole football club be run by the govt? I can't imagine Barcelona being run by the Catalan govt or Arsenal being run by the city of London. It makes no sense. Man, no one wonder almost nothing works in this country and that's because involves itself in almost everything in the country whether it be soccer teams to hospitals. The govt even gets involved in things that are meant to be in private hands like airlines, farms, oil and gas refineries etc and they wonder why everything in the country is half baked and not prosperous, well golly, I wonder why. The job of the govt is oversight, policy making and regulation. In other words, the job of the govt is to be a referee or umpire and NOT a player in the game. There are things that govt are good at and there are some things they should stay out of simply because they don't have the expertise in it smh.

Germi9:
Thing is, would she want to condescend to such level ? Knowing she contested the most powerful sit

Uhm! she better if she wants to remain politically relevant and not fade into obscurity. I doubt she wants to run for the Senate again. Also, the Governorship is a good consolation prize and should not be seen as a poor alternative to the presidency but as a stepping stone to the presidency.

Salvation2:
[b]Good morning. DOJ is in charge of both Feds and States. [/b]Once they are on ur radar, ur as good as gone but once they are on ur side, ur good. Even HNI, Politicians and CSs are all afraid of that office.

Like the Almighty God, He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. Remember in all we do, let's fear God Almighty above all things because He is all in all. He can create or kill at will, He can promote a man from a dunghill or demote at will.

Shalom!!!

Not in this country where I live. Fed cases are different from State cases. The State cases are expected to proceed even if the Federal cases are dropped.

My goodness! can't the NFF make sure that everyone who has ever represented us at the international level be given the funds to gain the coaching badges so that they can at least earn a living. That's the least we should be able to do for them for what they did for us in their prime.

Germi9:
She knows she still got good chances in the future if she stays relevant. Right now she needs a vacation with one younger bobo to massage her nerves

The Governor's job in her state (California) should open soon, she should throw her hat in the ring. That should keep her relevant instead of fading into obscurity.

Illusioneffect:
She should shut tf up. If Trump was really a danger to the American people like she had been spilling for months now - she'd never have conceded but immediately decry the election results.
How will you willingly concede to Hitler🤷‍♂️?
Looks like name calling, p-diddy friends endorsements, identity politics & fear mongering doesn't win elections here in America!

Because it's in the constitution. That's how it's done in this country. You don't have a choice.

musicwriter:
I think we already have something similar in Nigeria by winning a certain percentage of the votes; including the FCT but whether it's enforced it something else.

In the US, winning the major states with highest population still doesn't guarantee anything. Harris has already won California and New York but Trump will win the election.

The law is too confusing. It's like you are trying to mesh two systems together at once and it doesn't seem well thought out. For example, does it say what should happen if a candidate fails to win 2/3 of the country and what the backup plan should be?

Also, what i said is the American system is about the number of states you win and not the number of people who vote for you.

Gerrard59:
We already have the system of winning two-thirds of the country. A case of six and half-a-dozen.

Kamala should go and run for Governor of her state, California since the current Governor's term is going to be over soon. This way she can keep herself in the national conversation but the downside is will the rest of the country accept a California politician (they are seen as too liberal to the rest of the country) as the leader of the country.

Douglad:
What I can't understand is how he won the popular vote too and the Dems were unable to win a single swing state.

A total domination by the Republicans

It was brutal. I mean his party even took the Senate and they will probably win the House so it should be easy to pass his policies through Congress like extending his tax cuts etc but it should be an interesting few years.

God1000:
Something Donald trump will never do if he loses to her, no lies about election rigging when it favors him


This is maturity on the part of Harris, I hope he will act presidential this time and not behave like a baby he's known for.

Bwahahaha, yeah riiiight. Good luck with that.

Salvation2:
They will all disappear...Special Counsel is talking to DOJ as we speak to drop all cases against the President Elect...

This is a case of never give up in life irrespective of how many people are against u, because there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

Remember that Jesus Christ went away and is coming back again. Never give up on Him no matter what people say or do to u because of Him. He is the only one who will set u free through His blood He shed on the cross of Calvary. Remain focused on Him and u will be Victorious!!!

Shalom!!!

Bros, the Federal cases will disappear because as the President of the country, he is in charge of the federal branch but what of the State cases like the New York and the Georgia cases?

deji17:
That is Democrats problem. Republicans will be controlling both houses, the Presidency and the Supreme Court. Trump has all the power under the sun..

Seperation of powers ko, seperation of powers ni.

SmartPolician:
How can the POTUS, the most powerful person in the world, be in the witness box answering questions from lawyers? So, what will happen now is that Trump will change the heads of agencies pressing charges against him. As a result, they'll drop the cases.

So, the Congress should pass a bill compelling institutions trying a new leader to continue with the case, irrespective of who heads the agency. That's how a country builds a strong institution.

Congress wo? when his party the Republicans have won the Senate and are most like going to take the House.

Gerrard59:
The British were fairer to them because Botswana hadn't discovered natural resources before independence. The Brits were not fair to Black South Africans and Nigerians as well.

Nigeria had more universities after independence not before. The British did not build or create universities. We did so.

Uhm, diamonds had been discovered in Botswana before the British left and yes the British created the University of Ibadan and UNN in Nigeria before they also left.
What happened in Botswana was the level-headed decision-making of their first President who decided to make the right decision to keep foreigners and import them instead of expelling them to appease the electorate. This is the main reason why this country is so messy. We have uneducated leaders making uninformed decisions for the rest of us that lead the country to ruin and we blame it on the West. In Nigeria's history, we have only had two Presidents with a bachelor's degree while Botswana has had all their leaders with not only degrees but advanced degrees like law. That makes a big difference in policy and governance.

See Country wey God create...

But Africa is not about innovations.. it's about Alcohol, Politics,Sex ,Sex,.. Man power.. libido enlargment... Toto no commot water by charles...Loot.. Loot.. fuel scarcity.. money laundry.. churches... Election rigging...

Were we were giving independence too early? I am not sure but Botswana managed there post independence well. When they became independent, there leader resisted the urge to kick out the British immediately because the country had almost no university graduates but they kept the British civil servants and even imported more foreigners for several more years until there were enough Botswanan's educated enough to take over and this is one of the main reasons why that country is still well run today.

lovediehatelive:
This stuff is somehow sha.


Sometimes it favours the democrats, sometimes it favours the republicans

I think I might like there system more because it mostly focuses on winning the most number of states, not the most number of voters. That's the way it should be to me because it forces candidates to focus on even the small states during elections as opposed to just the biggest states like New York etc.
I would like if we adopted it in Naija as it should hopefully force candidates to focus on even the smaller states like Kebbi and Yobe etc instead of Lagos and co.

musicwriter:
Yes, I just said so in the other thread. And that's the more reason Trump will win. If Trump could beat Hillary Clinton, he'll win Harris because nothing has changed.

US presidential election is not free and fair. You could get the highest vote but someone with a lower vote would be declared winner. That's bizarre

I think I might like it a bit better than ours because in their national elections, its mostly about winning the most number of states and not the most number of voters. That's the way their forefathers established it. This system works in a way in that it forces candidates to focus on even the small states during elections as opposed to just the biggest states like New York etc.

Can anyone break this down further? Because I don't understand Shiite!

In American elections, its mostly about winning the most number of states and not the most number of voters. That's the way their forefathers established it.

Sharpsharp00123:
which adventure

The guy fit b undercover CIA agent

Nah! there are better ways to gather intelligence if he was actually an undercover agent. This would just be a waste of time. My brother, most of those things we see in movies are just that - entertainment. Most of those intelligence agencies don't operate like this but it is sooooo difficult for us to get it out of our brains because those movies are so deeply ingrained in our imagination.

Christlike01:
That man is not a civilian;he is a trained officer who can live and survive anywhere. Don't be deceived by the innocent look and smiles,that man is very likely to be a CIA field officer! He is gathering intelligence from that location about something - Nigeria/West Africa- and covertly transmitting same to his home office.

Chai! Naija people. Una don watch too many movies that you can't separate fiction from reality haha.

APOPTOSIS:
...na their Life ooo.
Even African Americans dare not.
The day I attempted Skydiving, African Americans around me wan finish me with attacks. They hurled unrest at me for embarking on such saying it was a Whiteman's thing, that I should consider my loved ones who will be heartbroken when planning to attempt such.

hahaha

Bros, I believe you have seen too many movies.

nairalanda1:
Optimally 18 years is a good age to enter university

Some even say that 21 is better.

I said what I said. If you like, abuse me.

And if you like modify my comment

18-21 is best for university entrance.

Entering at 15 or 16 is just sending lamb to slaughter

Every student is different.

Awesome decision.

SmartPolician:
When you tell us about the plans to generate electricity, do well to tell us the source of energy. Electricity is an energy that comes from a source and doesn't come through the powers of wishful thinking.

Honestly, i feel like we should de-centralize power generation in this country. Every state should find their own means of electricity whether its coal or natural gas or Solar. That to me is the best way to solve the electricity problem in Nigeria. Having a centralized system like we have been having for decades is not working well for a country of our size.

naptu2:
His party lost an election around 2 months ago.

Goodness! UK be changing PM's like crazy. To think that i used to be a fan of parliamentary democracy as opposed to a Presidential democracy just a few years ago for how cheap it is (they don't have a Senate, just a House of reps and the prime minister and his cabinet are mostly members of the house of reps or commons as they like to call it) but looking at how unstable it is, i shall stick with my presidential democracy complete with its over expensive Senate and all. The possible benefit of removing an underperforming PM in weeks instead of waiting for 4 years is offset by the atmosphere of political uncertainty it creates. Let me stick with stability abeg.

naptu2:
People often mix up David Lammy and Kwasi Kwarteng. Kwasi is a tory (he was the chancellor of the exchequer in Liz Truss' government), while Lammy is labour.

Gotcha. Not too familiar with UK politics but thanks for the tutorial but whatever happened to the Indian PM? The former hedge fund guy?
