the court cannot judge on an illegality. Kind of how you can't take someone to court for refusing too share stolen funds

On the Cross River chief judge ,Akwa ibom people bragged about holding village head title in Cross river. The bragged about having many akwa ibomites in the civil service .
my question is : why can't akwa ibom people be proud of their own ibibio and annang traditional titles and cultures? all I see from akwa ibom people is inferiority complex



stupid talk. such incident never happened, only fabricated by akwa ibom inferiroty complex. In fact Donald Duke fired 100s of Akwa ibomites from cross river civil service and sent their parasitic ass back to akwa ibom.

why can't you be proud of your own ibibio title? have you seen any Efiks boasting about living in Akwa ibom or holding any titles in Akwa ibom? it's obvious you have inferiority complex to yearn to live in Efik land so bad and also yearn for that Efik titles so bad. instead of being grateful to Efiks for being generous you are boasting .

Everything negative about Calabar is caused by Akwa ibom people ,from prostitution to crime ,etc. go look it up. Akwa ibom people tarnished the name Calabar. Akpan and Ekaette are ibibio and annang names not Efik names .
Despite Akwa ibom being three times smaller in landmass and receiving 9 times larger Allocation,akwa ibom is still a shithole and not better than Cross river . only parts of Uyo and ikot ekpene received some facelift . akwa ibom is still the largest supplier of housemaids ,gateman and prostitutes and other menial jobs. All of my family members have ibibio or anang hosue maids and gatemen . Akwa ibom has highest out of school girls in Nigeria. Incest and rape is rampant in Akwa ibom. Canibalism is a norm in many part of Akwa ibom. now you show me any of these vices in Efikland . even the jungle justice in Calabar is perptrated by Akwa ibom people mostly in Calabar South. Patjhetic Akwa ibom animals. lol

Don't let northern starts reprisals attack on innocent southern staying in the north. Almajiri are still on the street, let security men settled this issue

so there are no Northerners in the south that will feel the effects too?? werey dey disguise. You can't be occupying other people land and call it your way of live. Your forefathers used stone to make fire, why are you not keeping up with the same practice?

the same "CNN is fake news", "CNN is propaganda" "Newsmax and OAN is the authentic news" geng is the same people that knows that CNN has stopped the death toll counter. How'd you know when you don't watch CNN?

Some Nigerians need a lot of brain formatting and resetting

NGpatriot:
You mean the system functioned perfectly well as designed because terrorist managed to evade the most powerful, the best trained and well equipped law enforcement agencies in the world to storm and take control of the seat of government in the most powerful country in the world and the same terrorists managed to kill law enforcement officer in the process?

Are you a comedian?

The folks in DC from the law enforcement to military and political leaders agreed that the system failed to prevent what transpired, people resigned because of the failure and you are sitting here rambling that the system did not fail.

I think I've been wasting my time going back and forth with you, please go away and stop quoting me with your insane rubbish.

Dude I won't come down to your level to engage with your level of ignorance. You're the expert there.
The only person that resigned because of the law enforcement not being able to present the protesters from breaching the Capitol was the head of the US Capitol Police.
The rest resigned because they were part of Donald Trump administration and they believe he incited his supporters to attack the Capitol.
People like you probably conjure up Conspiracy theories!
I've tried explaining in the simplest of terms but I you're already closed-minded.
The USCP has jurisdiction of Capitol Hill, no other law enforcement agencies is allowed on the group unless the USCP request for it or in a state of emergency and the National Guard js deployed.
In your own words, how did you expect the USCP to act, taking into consideration that they were not sufficient boots on ground to contain the number of protesters and also unlike Nigeria they are not allowed to shoot live ammunition at civilian populations. Please explain in details how they would have prevented what happened to happen

The US Capitol is the seat of American Democracy. It houses a coequal arm of the American Government. When the protesters were outside, they were called protesters, once they breach through the Capitol when Congress was in session, it became an act of Insurrection.
The National Guard is the only branch of the US Army that's allowed to deploy on American soil and they only do that in state of emergency. The authority to deploy the National Guard rest with the Governor of the state except D.C where it's done by the President.
They don't set up road blocks, they don't harass civilians on a daily basis, you only see them once the police can't handle civil matters (state of emergency).
The USCP were armed but because the protesters weren't, they didn't shoot them even when they breached the Capitol. Out of the 5 people that died, the only one that was shot tried to enter a resisted area where Congress members were housed during the riot through a broken window. Other than that, the protesters were dispered with tear gas and water cannons.
You can't honestly say the same thing about Nigerian security officers be it police or army or vigilantes. Where any small alteration they've open fire on civilians.
At Lekki they army had time to prepare to engage a civilian population yet they came with live ammunitions.
If you want to discredit someone do so with genuine facts

NGpatriot:
Please, you are not making any sense, sorry to say, we are talking about law enforcement failure across the board and you are talking about authorization and chain of command.

At the end of the day, of what relevance and worth is authorization and chain of command after deaths, damage and destruction?

Law enforcement and critical government agencies from local to federal are supposed to work hand in hand, coordinate and response to imminent threats and unrests, this is what the government put in place after 9/11, but system failed massively.

Regardless of authorization or chain of command, the system was supposed to function smoothly and seamlessly across the board, that's the point, not whatever authorization and chain of command you keep repeating.

Failure is failure, the system failed and the fact that there was a break down between local and federal agencies even based on the same chain of command and authorization you keep repeating means the system failed, that's the point.

The fact that help was requested or not, authorization or chain of command or not, law enforcement cracked and failed, the Capitol fellI so I don't even think you see the flaws in your argument and it seems you just love to hear yourself talk.

Asking for help or not, lack of authorization or chain of command means FAILURE. It's means institutional breakdown.

What part of failure do you not understand?

a system functions the way it was intend to function and you're talking about the system failure.
Where is the failure?
so you wanted Homeland Security, Secret Service, National Guard, NSA, Space Force, Coast Guard, D.C Police, FBI to all rush to the Capitol and create more confusion.
When you're done writing your next epistle, cool down, nobody is fighting with you and try to be open to reason. From the way you're jumping up and down shows you're close-minded and only believe that the system failed.
How can a system fail when it functioned the way it was supposed to function?
the Capitol was breached because of oversight by the Capitol police department. The asked for support when things got out of hand as they are meant to do. The support didn't get in on time because of someone's else oversight. So how did the system fail?
Nobody is attacking you, try to read and understand.

NGpatriot:
My assertion wasn't about authorization or seeking authorization before deployment of law enforcements, I was highlighting that even with massive presence of law enforcement agencies around the capitol, the capitol fell, easily, a massive failure and lack of cooperation and coordination.

This kind of law enforcement failure and lack of coordination was addressed and taken care of after 9/11, 911 was the reason why they merged several law enforcement agencies and created homeland security, but 4 years of Trump dismantled everything, he politicized, hollowed out and weakened the agencies and government institutions, he turned them into political agencies serving Trump and the white house alone.

This is the reason why it took forever after so many requests to send the National guards, politics and Trump delayed quick response.

Trump sacked many of the heads of these critical agencies and many resigned for all kinds of reasons, but Trump refused to appoint new heads to direct the agencies with authority that they can not project without confirmation by the congress, Trump intentionally kept them under acting status for his own political benefits and machinations.

The most critical of law enforcement agency in America is the homeland agency, but the head of the same homeland security remained under acting status till he resigned after this insurrection and failed coup.

Seeking authorization or permission was the least of the damage done by Trump.

Read again what I wrote. Youre saying you're not talking about authorization but that's what it is. Despite the hint of a protest that day, the head of the Capitol police department didnt deploy sufficient bodies to the Capitol. He resigned after the incidence. When they breach through the Capitol and calls were made. The Capitol police can't deploy the National Guard even the V.P that was in the building can't do that since it's D.C that authority lies with the President so they calls were made to the Presidential aides to speak to the President which he hesitated to quickly deploy them. Homeland security do not engage in civil unrest. That's the job of the police and FBI. They only deal with domestic terrorist. They protesters weren't terriorist designate.
Like I said, everything follows a chain of command. Once the police can't handle a civil protest, it's only then that the Governor (if not in D.C) can deploy the National Guard and declare a state of emergency or Curfew.

I don't think op's puzzle has been cracked.
0 × 3 = 0 ( the answer is logical: nothing 3 times is still nothing). But why is
3 × 0 =0 (this is illogical: e.g if I have 3 apples and try to multiply it 0 times, I can't, but my 3 apples should remain 3, not 0.
In case the puzzle can't be cracked in Queen's English, I beg let somebody try good old pidgin - maybe this will help, because with pidgin you are not constrained by rules of grammar ( just say it any how- the language is immaterial as long as the meaning is plain).

Using your apples analogy.
Let's assume you have a bag full of apples.
Scenario 1: (0 * 3 = 0)
If I bring 3 boxes and ask you to "not" put any apple in the boxes. How many apples will be in the boxes? zero right?
scenario 2: (1 * 3 = 3)
If I bring 3 boxes again and I ask you to put "an" apple in each box. The total number of apples in the boxes will be 3 right?
Scenario 3: (2 * 3 = 6)
3 boxes and you're ask to put 2 apples in each boxes. The summation of apples in the boxes will be 6 right.
Scenario 4: (3 * 0 = 0)
If I dont bring any box, but I ask you to put 3 apples each box. How many apples will I have in the box?? None because I didn't provide you with any box.

This is not Uganda, this is not Libya, this is not the Congo, this is not Bosnia or Ukraine, this is the United States Of America.

American seat of government and the cradle of democracy is fully militarized.

This is the sad effects and consequences of homegrown terrorists taking over the government of the most powerful country in the world in less than 30 minutes.

The FBI, Homeland Security, NSA, ATF, the Secret Service, National guards the US Marshals and other powerful law enforcement agencies are all minutes away from the US capitol, but the capitol fell, easily with ZERO meaningful armed response in sight.

Your last paragraph though. The US Capitol has its own police. Until they call for help, other security forces can't intrude on their jurisdiction.
If they call for help, those forces will still need authorisation from their superior to act. Since it's DC, the National Guard will need authorization from the President to be deployed.
The Secret Service don't work for the Capitol. They only protect the prominent principal officer holders and the white house.
Not where you have the army doing the work of the police, police doing the work of the FRSC etc.

0 * 10 oranges at hand = 10 oranges... Reasons being that the oranges won't mysteriously disappear from my hand...

Imagine multiplying the 6 luggage bags by 0 and yet the load from the luggage still on you...

so if you multiply the same 6 luggages by 2, then suddenly 12 luggages will appear??

Minjim:
Well, I'm just saying. Since Angela Merkel feeling different about it.
But you can compare writing of speech.
No writer can force a president to read what he doesn't want to. They can only advise.
Anyway, the sanity of a nation is even more than that of the presidency

Do you know what Angela Merkel and other people would say if America descended into chaos?
"We condemn", " Our thoughts are.....". By then the damage has already been done.
Public officer holders rarely make personal official statements. What is written down after the advisers has vetted the statement is what he will read but once in a while they do go off-script

Minjim:
Protected by a private company with vested profit interest and that can be influenced politically?
I'm not holding for Trump.
But that power shouldn't be vested on a private company- to control what a president says.

How many tweets from the @POTUS has been deleted by twitter since it was created?
A President can't be inciting violence. Donald Trump can. The tweet was only deleted because it was inciting further violence after the attack on the Capitol.
That's is more about preserving America's democracy than controlling what the President says.
Like the Ambassadors cacus said to the state department, you can't be preaching democracy and dishing out sanctions on foreign states and people while you're condoning the same thing.
That aside... what about the job of the Press secretary that write speeches for the President or stop the President from answering some impromptu questions from journalist. Does that also qualify as controlling what the President says.

awhybliss:
This is the first agenda of Biden in office in the quote below��‍♂️

“Once in office, Biden should announce he would share authority to use nuclear weapons with a select group in Congress,” said Perry, who served under President Bill Clinton.

If this should happen!, The risk is far far deadly compare to the gains attach to it.

The number one reason why aggrieved countries like north Korea, Iran, China e.t.c are afraid and finding it hard to unleash terror on America soil is because of the sole control of nuclear weapons by the president, because they know he can retaliate within a twinkle of an eye!!,

Sharing the authority among selected congress group will trigger "politics-play" in the control.
For a clearer example, if a country or terrorist group should send a nuclear bomb to the USA soil, knowing fully well that the president will need to sit with the congress group before retaliating, which there's a high percentage that not everybody will agree to retaliation, because everybody will have a different view on the issue, and some members of the Congress group can be compromised! (I.e working for other countries or terrorist underground by making it impossible for retaliation, for political or selfish interest)..
The USA president will be worthless and powerless more than the banana republic president..

The president was voted-in by the people because they believe in him to protect and serve them with the country's military strength and resources in a case of terrorist threat, he has the responsibility to know when and when not to use the nuclear weapons at his own discretion!, That's part of his job...

Sharing that authority control will make USA soil bloody and chaotic.. because there will be several attacks on it citizens and facilities from aggrieved enemy countries and terrorist groups who have been looking for opportunities to invade the U.S. e.g (north Korea,Iran, China, Pakistan, al-qaeda, ISIS, talibans, e.t.c)..

The "main" reason why the president of the USA is still the most powerful and relevant in "power" is the sole authority over the nuclear weapons in the country.. sharing this authority will come with a luxurious risk that might end America!!.

hahahaha... After this long speech you still end up saying nothing.
Do you think North Korea, Iran even China has the effrontery to launch a nuke on America?
How do you guys come up with such analysis?
See countries that you are even mentioning North Korea and Iran.
North Korea that can only launch nukes as ICBM which can be easily intercepted by the Aeigis missile defense system. Iran that doesn't have a nuclear weapon yet.
China that can't even cross the Atlantic talkless of delivering nukes via subs and bombers.
US has less land based nuclear weapons than any other country except UK and France that doesn't even have land base platform. Most of their nukes are in air and sea platform. Land base nukes are easy targets but good luck finding an Ohio class sub once it deep dive.
Plus US is the only country to store nukes in other countries.
That's a country you think North Korea and Iran are only afraid to attack because the President has absolute authority over it nukes.

I'm fully aware of the role Trump's tweets played.
What I am saying is that, even the @POTUS account. All tweets Trump made from it are being deleted. He has over 33m followers and that's his medium of reaching them.
I know he violated Twitter's term but deleting tweets from the @POTUS account shouldn't be the decision of a private company. It should be that of the Parliament

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/trump-tweets-from-potus-account-after-suspension-they-got-deleted-2021-1%3famp

whatever comes from the @POTUS account is seen as an official statement. What Trump tweeted from the account after his own was banned bordered on inciting violence again. That's a luxury that can be permitted for a private individual not the @POTUS. The sanity of the office must be protected or don't you think so?

Minjim:
But its the president we are talking about here not just some random dude. Trump has over 60m followers and if his account is tantamount to an issue of National Security

the account of the President of the United States is @POTUS. it's still live. It's Donald Trump personal account that was banned. First the account was suspended for 12hrs and he was asked to remove 3 tweets that incite violence which led to the attack on the Capitol. Then he was warned that future violation will lead to permanent ban. First tweet after getting his access back was to insinuate that it's not over that this is just the beginning hence there permanent ban!
Before coming for Twitter, sit down and think this through. The President passively aided an attack on the Capitol (Seat of American Democracy) while Congress was in session. if those guys were armed, the situation would have amount to treason. Just think it through, the Executive attacking the Legislative arm of Government in a Democracy. Someone had to be held responsible

But the same tech guys allow the Ayathola of Iran to tweeet death to America and threaten death on Trump without reacting. They just ended up making a fool of the President office. The world don see America finish. Nothing remain.

you seems to be getting it wrong. Since after the election, how many tweets did Donald Trump post. Did anyone stop him?
The problem is when is supportes breach through the Capitol. That's the seat of power of the Legislative arm of Government and Congress was in session. Do you have any idea the magnitude of what that means?
If those supporters were armed, that would have been called treason. They even brought a confederate flag into the Capitol hall something that even the Confederates couldn't do during the Civil War. Before you think this is ganging up on Trump think about what it means to have your supporters breach through the Capitol when Congress was in session.
Donald Trump supporters are to blame not the tech guys if they had protested outside the Capitol as I hope he intended, then He wouldn't have been in this mess

God no go shame us!

SilverNorGold:
My brother, the difference is that it will be based on consensus, that's majority of the node runners/people, and not on the whims of one person. This means to gag someone is nearly impossible.. So if you get banned, it means you did something so awful that almost everyone considered it ban-worthy... There are various mechanisms set to trigger such.. It's not something I can explain in few words. Lol... But you can do research to learn how the blockchain technology works.

God bless us all.

Twitter ban is not based on one Person if that's what you're implying. Not going into that.
What I'm trying to say is that Freedom of Speech and moderation cannot go hand in hand. Even going by what you say, let's take bitcoin for example, when it came out, it took weeks to get confirmation on a transaction on the bitcoin network. When the developers started creating the Lightening network to bring about faster confirmation it lead to a lot of forking of bitcoin because a lot of the developers agrued that the cryptocurrency was shifting away from being truly decentralized.
Putting this in context of free speech, if for example there're 10million users, and the need to censor a post arises. Before the post get banned or something the damage would have already been done by the post rendering the censoring useless. If a group of people are elected to oversee the censorship of post and users, then we'll be back where we started.

SilverNorGold:
My brother, Nigerian fake news purveyors matter tire me. Seriously. Hopefully, once the decentralized platform surface, patriotic Nigerians go participate in the moderation. So we go collectively deal with fake news purveyors.. Together, via consensus.

E go better sha..

You say decentralization will bring about Freedom of Speech. So moderating fake news, isn't that the same as trampling on the same freedom of speech you're advocating?
Freedom of Speech is having the right to say whatever I want, stopping me from doing that is denying me of my rights.
How can you explain or resolved this conundrum

NeoWanZaeed:
Everyone is battling trump. Chocking him. THEY SEEM TO FORGETHE IS STILL THE PRESIDENT. THIS GUY COULD START WAR IF HE WANTS. They should take it easy o

You think starting war is putting water inside garri and watching it rise?
Start war with who??
On America? that's the clearest definition of treason and will be removed and charged to court at the earliest convenience. Here is a quote from the Oath of Office ".... to defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic....."
With another Sovereign Nation? again he will need the consent of Congress to finance the war. The same Congress he is currently at odds with. Even after Pear Harbor and the 9/11, the President at that time didn't just go to war. The presented the request before Congress and got approval before embarking on the war.
