Here's a lump of sense... Never knew you don't have any

I think the ibos are well represented in the National team. Its just a shame that some people falsely claim that they are always victimised. It shows no particular tribe dominate in all spheres, and thats the beauty of diversity. #OneNigeria#

President Trump plans to sign executive orders Wednesday enabling construction of his proposed wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and targeting cities where local leaders refuse to hand over illegal immigrants for deportation, according to White House officials familiar with the decisions.

The actions, part of a multi-day focus on immigration, are among an array of sweeping and immediate changes to the nation’s immigration system under consideration by the new president. The moves represent Trump’s first effort to deliver on perhaps the signature issue that drove his presidential campaign: his belief that illegal immigration is out of control and threatening the country’s safety and security.

Trump’s immigration blitz this week is widely seen inside the White House as a victory for the self-described populist wing of his inner circle — which includes chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon, attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions and top policy adviser Stephen Miller.

But discussions were ongoing Tuesday about just how far to go on some policies, in particular the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA. The 2012 initiative has given temporary protection from deportation to hundreds of thousands of people who arrived in the United States as children. Trump vowed during the campaign to reverse it.

It was not yet clear late Tuesday whether DACA would be addressed as part of Trump’s immigration actions, according to a White House official, because of differing views among Trump’s advisers and associates about the timing, scope and political benefits of ending the program or suspending it.

Officials are considering, but have not decided yet, whether to indefinitely shut down the program that allows refugees from war-torn Syria into the United States. Trump may also put the entire refugee program for all countries on hold for four months, according to an administration official familiar with the options under discussion.

This official said that Trump will also potentially bar for 30 days the issuance of U.S. visas to people from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen — all Muslim-majority countries — until new visa procedures are developed. Residents from many of these places are already rarely granted U.S. visas. Trump may ask DHS and the director of national intelligence to evaluate whether immigrants are being adequately screened for potential terrorist ties.

On Wednesday, Trump plans to speak to a town hall of employees at the Department of Homeland Security’s headquarters in Washington, where he is expected to sign the orders relating to the wall and “sanctuary cities.” The effort to crack down on these localities will resonate with the Republican base, which has long criticized local officials who refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

Several people familiar with the discussions emphasized that the week’s actions are intended to start fulfilling Trump’s campaign promises on immigration and bring Republicans behind Trump on the issue, one day before he speaks at Thursday’s congressional GOP retreat in Philadelphia. These people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the executive orders were still being finalized.

White House aides said Trump planned to meet Wednesday with several parents of children who were killed by immigrants who are in the country illegally. These activists, who refer to themselves as “angel moms,” were frequently featured during Trump’s campaign rallies and during the Republican National Convention.

Any immigration measures announced by the president will set up a fierce battle in Trump’s first week between the White House and advocates for immigrants, who were reacting with alarm Tuesday as word spread that immigration was on the table.

The planned visit to DHS will be Trump’s second to a security agency since he took office Friday. He spoke to employees at the CIA’s headquarters in Northern Virginia on Saturday.

The presidential visit to DHS would symbolize some of the more controversial parts of Trump’s agenda. He centered his campaign to some degree on his proposal to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to keep out illegal immigrants, a plan that has been vehemently opposed by Democrats and immigrant advocates.

Trump’s proposed wall is perhaps his most famous and disputed campaign proposal, and he feels so strongly about it that he told The Washington Post in an interview last year that building the structure “is easy. . . . It’s not even a difficult project if you know what you’re doing.’’

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto will visit the United States next week to meet with Trump. The Mexican government has said it would not pay for Trump’s border wall despite Trump’s insistence that the country would provide funding at a later date.

House Republicans have said they plan to fund the barrier, which some experts have estimated will cost more than $20 billion. But experts say the wall would face numerous obstacles, such as environmental and engineering problems and fights with ranchers and others who would resist giving up their land.

Trump has also promised to beef up immigration enforcement along the border and inside the United States — notably by tripling the number of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents — in an expensive and logistically difficult operation to remove millions of people from the country.

Perhaps most in dispute were Trump’s campaign comments on Muslims. He called at one point for a ban on all Muslims entering the United States as a counterterrorism measure and said he would halt immigration from Syria and deport Syrian refugees already in the country.

It is unclear how this week’s executive actions, orchestrated from the White House, will sit with the man who would enforce them: Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly. Kelly, a retired Marine general who was confirmed Friday, struck a markedly different tone from the president during his confirmation hearing, saying the controversial southwest border wall might not “be built anytime soon.’’

Kelly noted that when he was a Marine officer in Iraq, his forces secured stability in part by reaching out to clerics and other Muslim leaders. He vowed to promote “tolerance” and said he didn’t think it was appropriate to target any group of people solely based on religion or ethnic background, including through the development of a registry.

DHS declined to comment Tuesday. But people familiar with the matter said Kelly, known for his blunt manner, is already under intense pressure from the White House to enforce the immigration crackdown on which Trump built his campaign.

There is no fox in this picture, just an illusion created by the twigs on the lower tree that looks like the outline of a fox.

GEJ was really a smart man afterall.

Apparently this Government might seem slow, but they are going to do well. They might not have given the N5,000 campaign promise, but this is even better....oya wailers, over to you.

kettle84:
you saw a man full of courage talking to his enemies without fear and all you could come up with is the above trash.

Mr kettle abi na pot, Buhari has not yet replied more meaningful politicians like fayose of ekiti...its one kanu in kuje...bro i laugh in slovaki...anyway,i love his 'courage'....shebi he has 26 more years to go. 2042 is not too far.

Just watched the video and all i see is the frustration of a helpless man. Creating this kind of scene in court has never swayed the outcome of any courtcase. I will advise people especially lawyers to talk to him on 'contempt of court', as this action itself can be spun around and used as evidence on why indeed, 'witness protection' is needed. Truth be told he looked Violent in this video and this is a bad display for the cause of IPOB

Its just a matter of time before jonathan is totally cornered. He's been talking a lot lately...which was a very bad idea. Im not against the secret rule that all former presidents can never be arrested...but dont be forming hero status, when you know you did more harm than good...look at IBB for example...very very gentle .

Umh...can someone enlighten me ...or am i the only one who thinks nurses want a residency program...isorai!!! At least my cousin will be consultant nurse.

Cant everyone just believe in whatever they choose to believe in in and let peace reign?
Christians cannot prove the presence of God
Atheists cannot prove the absence of God.
If Christianity never got to Africa, most Christians carrying it on their head would be worshiping their 'idols' jejely or viciously.
All i know is that everyone's story is different, and there is a reason why we have different beliefs and religions.
Let us try to respect everyone's belief. The white men dont carry religion on their head and they are way ahead of Africans.
Love should be the only religion on earth.

IT!!!!!!! oya comman remove this topic from FP.

mikolo80:
3 more years
Not over till its over

Do you mean 7 more years ( still wonder how you expect PDP to ever rule again)...wake up bro.

But Fayose endorsed and supported him, so therefore fayose is also working for their enemy (APC).... bunch of confused people.

naijaking1:
Even admirers of Buhari can see no coincidence in the arrest, harassment, prosecution, and elimination of all opposition voices across the land. From Dasuki, to Metuh, to Orubebe, and now Fayose: all have one thing in common, and that's vocal criticism of the president. If they criticize him, they are first of all arrested, their accounts frozen, and then reasons to have arrested them begin later.
FYI, when GEJ let El Rufai Amaechi, and Tambuwal reigned abuses boardering on national security, they were never intimidated, but then they call the man mumu, but a better appellation would have been 'a man of democracy'

All is see are names of people that are corrupt, if you want to play opposition, come with clean hands like it is in other parts of the world, why would you embezzle a country to shreds and still have the guts to criticize someone trying to fix your mess. Anyways , thats how its supposed to be , and the next administration should also probe Buhari (self-regulation), that is the only way Nigeria can be great again.

nerodenero:
Late Alams actually learnt very well from this dude

LATE??

khrisluv:
and u got only one likes

Who likes epp?

As for the avengers, this remains a losing battle, militancy has never achieved sovereignty anywhere in the world. And for the ipod guys claiming enemy of my enemy is my friend. Biafra can only be achieved if Nigeria willingly decides to let you go. War can never win this battle. Protests and agitations cannot win this fight. Looking for ICC and international support cannot win this battle. The key is diplomacy. Diplomacy is the key, your lawmakers and Governors are the ones who can do the job. Thank you.

OP why are you asking,I hope you are not an Avenger o!!!
ok just joking

It is still used in modern society, even in the western world. Wiki is your friend.

kenonze:
It is absolutely out of place in modern society.


However it is imperative to tell apologize to people around by courtiously saying
"Am sorry "

Yes u have to apologize for involuntarily disseminating millions of microbs into the air.

National Geographic reports that during the plague of AD 590, "Pope Gregory I ordered unceasing prayer for divine intercession. Part of his command was that anyone sneezing be blessed immediately ("God bless you", since sneezing was often the first sign that someone was falling ill with the plague."[7] By AD 750, it became customary to say "God bless you" as a response to one sneezing.[8]

A typical polite response after being told "bless you" in response to sneezing is to thank the person who has said it.

well, this people need to be properly educated, the last case of polio was reported over a year ago which is good for the image of the country,last 3 countries in the world to fully get rid of polio. In as much as the threat seems like a good way to arm twist the government, they need to realise that there is something called herd immunity.it means if im able to vaccinate 99 children, 1 polio case cannot spread and cause havoc, whats the population of the shiites again compared to the whole north east again? that should answer their question,that the plan is dead on arrival.

Tokety7:

Please how is Amaechi's action in exposing the deeds of criminals bleeding this country a betrayal to the COUNTRY? Are these criminals far more important than the General populace.?

Pls kindly ignore the guy you quoted as he obviously reads definitions upside down, a president who covers up theft to a nation's wealth will never be celebrated and not...he keeps quoting the US...not knowing that that was an impeachable offence even in the US. Luckily that was not the case in Nigeria(thanks to ghana must go bags).

paschu:
You are ignorant. The money sanusi talked about was NNPC's non-remittance. He had no full details of how NNPC operates. He was not the auditor general of the federation. He simply made erronous conclusions without due consultations. Amaechi who is even worse informed went on to leak the falsehood to a foreign govt. in order to destroy the goodwill of the incumbent president. That's treason.

For your information NNPC is still witholding parts of its revenue as we speak.

But why should I expect you to know the facts, after all you're a zombie.

The wailings of a pained wailer,you would obviously still close your eyes to the truth even if was needed to save you.but thankfully majority of Nigerians aint like you .i will pretend that i didnt see your comment of claiming that the CBN governor had no idea of how the NNPC is being run and how you magically inderstand this better than sanusi. . Continue your comical analysis and enjoy your wailing till 2019 or further.

dumodust:
The only problem is... where exactly is this 21 billion?

Pray that PMB doesnt order a proper audit of NNPC , not the sham organised by daeziani and IB ,that even PWC had to issue a disclaimer later, to protect their integrity.
