Foreign Affairs / Re: United States Electoral College Explained by dollarsplenty(m): 11:30am On Nov 06, 2020
onlyfacts:


So if I get you correctly, you want ONLY the popular votes to replace the electoral College?

Have you thought about the implications of that?
Well that means a president can be elected into office just by winning coast(s) he is more popular in and losing other coasts as long as the gathers enough vote in that coast(s) to win the popular vote. At the end of the day presidential elections will be won and lost in states or coast with the highest population. Smaller less dense states will just be USED just to augment their lead if there ever is a need for it.

It will be like the Nigerian election where the north always determine the winners in presidential elections. Regions like south south and south east can be lost as long as you win one region in the south, which is south west.

So applying that in the US, those less populous states in time will view their votes as nothing cause it doesn't determine the eventual winner. They would be negligible like votes in the south east and south south.

The implications of that again is presidential candidates from less populous states or less influential states can never win the presidency in America based in popular votes. Only states with high population density or influence states can bring forth a candidate, which in itself is not democratic.

So whether you go with EC or popular votes (like we have in Nigeria) , they will still have their issues-the point however shouldn't be on the system used in electioneering but rather if those entrusted to run that system are credible, that is a free and fair election without rigging.

Rigging of votes is the problem of democratic elections. Either in popular votes or EC, if no rigging the people's choice will be the end result but mind you both systems will still carry their flaws.
Even here a president needs to win 2/3 of the states. it's still about fairness and equity.

oga it has been in place since more than 200 years of there existence. So what's your point because that's how all their president have been elected
Being in place for centuries does not justify its the best.
Foreign Affairs / Re: United States Electoral College Explained by dollarsplenty(m): 7:49am On Nov 06, 2020
Electoral College is anti democracy, it suppresses the people's will.

Note: For those mentioning me out of context, if few electors have more power than the real population, then what is the essence of people's power? When 538 electors have more power than over 300million people.

Before you answer, think about the real definition of democracy.

Politics / Re: 4 Ways Joe Biden As United States President Will Affect Nigeria by dollarsplenty(m): 5:30am On Nov 06, 2020
Biden does not care about Africa nor about Nigeria. He is indifferent. However, Replacing Trump is a positive idea because US is more important to the world than being left in the hand of an arrogant Psycho. Trump is a psycho.

Biden's campaign team are very confident. They have more than ten electors votes in their cooler. That's the last minute JOKER they will use, just like the last straw to break the back of Trump's camel.

We know her type and her mission. Tribal bigots like her always hide under etnicity to blame others for their own failure. It is in their blood. Why would you abandon your duty post because somebody said you should jump into lagoon? She just want to fan the ember of tribal sentiment and get sympathy. The same buidillon that hired you because you're Igbo and paid you for years fired you for your incompetence and unprofessional behavior.

We train and recruit more security personnel and spend huge expenses on security, only to record more terrorism, and banditry in the country. Baba should do something before it gets out of hand. Our whole security architecture needs restructuring, just as Nigeria her needs restructuring.

That's not fair at all, politics is all about spirit of sportsmanship, fairness to friends/foes, diplomacy and maturity. No permanent friend, no permanent enemy. So do not allow personal interest to overide national/Ondo interest. It's not about the two of them, it's about the followers. This will send wrong signals to their followers that it is fight to finish.

As if it will make any impact on the outcome. It only shows solidarity. Until Agbo (ZLP), or EYI (PDP) steps down for AKETI at this eleventh hour, no party or candidate's stepping down is worth celebrating. Some candidates only want to recoup their expenses and negotiate for contact.

Let Naira Marley protest, it is his right. At least, his followers will learn how to be responsible and stand up for people's right. He will make a great impact on those who think being young is all about fun. At least you can have fun and still fight for human rights. Marlians, it is up to you.

Gov. Sani Bello Jnr, son of a former Military Governor, and an in law to a former Military President. Go to Niger State and see how he has turned around the state infrastructurally with mouth. His home town, Kotangora enjoys virtual development. Our leaders know how to talk but not how to act. They have impressive blue prints on development but lack willingness to implement. With this talk, one would have expected Niger state to be a leading state in Nigeria instead of being a lame state
