Walk away and find your own bones. You will survive

Focusmind:
All these people rooting for Trump, I hope you would not go near the US embassy for visa. Be ready to receive back home those your relatives in US that have been sending money back home but are undocumented illegal immigrants. Be ready to see more cuts in aids and assistance to developing countries like Nigeria, which will affect everyone. Be ready for a world full of uncertainties under Trump and likelihood of escalation of tensions.

Trump was once president and the world was not as uncertain as it is today with wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, ongoing food crisis, and a massive global inflation. In fact, countries in the Middle East were signing peace accord with Israel and many more would have if He had not left the White House. Terrorist attacks were held at bay and the so called ISIS caliphate was totally decimated.

All these things you wrote were things the Democrats claimed he would do. He didn't do them. Sometimes you just need to step back and recognise the truth yourself instead of accepting everything the media with their own interests push out there.

If you like, when you wake up and step out, frown face, don't laugh, don't smile, walk about angry showing everyone how much Nigeria is bad and you are suffering.

Lots of foolish and self-hating people full NR. No one is stopping them from protesting or doing all I wrote above, but they can come NR and be criticising "Nigerians".

Good. But will the sellers bring down their prices as a result or try to capitalise on the gesture to increase their profit?

I love artistes and public figures who keep their family life private. Johnny Drille comes to mind. He does his own to the extent that the fans didn't even know when he got married and where shocked when he "privately" announced it almost a year after. And you may not hear anything about them again until the next time he announces the birth of another child.

Their wifes and children would at least have the opportunity to live their lives without undue public scrutiny and attention.

Aside coming up with a minimum figure which is necessary because of some rogue states, I think every state should be made to pay what they are capable of paying. Some are more bouyant than the others.

Messi is the most abused player living or dead - retired or still playing - WHY ? because MANY expected him to step into Maradona's shoes easily because of his talent and speed - he was criticized year in year out for not winning the world cup for Argentina - at some point he retired from international football because of frustration BUT he never insulted Diego Maradona who was putting too much pressure on him to succeed him as the next Argentine great --- instead he worked on himself and at the ripe "old age for footballers - 34" He won his first senior team trophy for Argentina - Copa America and at 35, when 90% of all footballers have retired, Messi won the World cup for Argentina!

That is what great players do- silencing criticism by their effort and focus, producing spectacular result - not swearing ogun up and down on social media - hab a --- abi Osimhen is an Ogun priest wannabe ? that boy like ogun no be small ----- Ogun Priest Victor Osimhen

People just look at what Maradona said of Messi - Did Finidi ever say such about Osimhen? Maradona was practically insulting Messi before Pele but Messi never responded- he made it happen on the pitch, sadly Maradona did not live to see Messi win the world cup BUT Messi always respected Maradona and said Maradona is a good man and a legend - he just wants me to do better than him by saying these things - I hope those supporting Osimhen are watching - Messi never swore Ogun for Maradona 😂

Our Instagram generation. They are just too emotional with little self-control

Will the lawmakers set an example by belling the cat? These people don't even have term limits. They can be there forever

Zxcvbnmghtr:
Respect is reciprocal. Finidi doesn't even respect himself. Wasn't he the one fighting I mean begging for Pepe's jersey after pepe had given it to a super eagles player?! Pepe of all players.

Finidi was chosen to be Eagles coach out of mere sentiment. He doesn't deserve it one bit. Even Amochachi had to flee.

Hmm. Respect is reciprocal? Not always. I think there is a certain level of respect one has to accord to people in position of authority in the family, at work and in the society. Its not really a respect for the individual occupying that position. It is more of respect to the office the person occupies.

I hope Finidi finds his calling. Not sure it is coaching at the moment. He served his country and brought us honour globally as a player but that won't make him a good coach.

As for Osimhen, the way he goes on social media to rant each time he's offended won't help him on the long run. He should get sma PR specialist to advise him. There are certainly better ways to handle this and still come out looking good at the end

Is granting suspects bail the same thing as freeing them? Is the offense they are charged for bailable?
Did the state prosecutor present solid legal arguments on why they should not be granted bail?
When we have these information, then we can respond appropriately. Otherwise, these politicians will just be playing with our emotion and intelligence

It's easier said than done. A non productive state can't sustain such payment even if you hand over some looted fund to them. They will pay for how many months before they run out of cash? It's basic economics.

Sometimes I wonder how these media analysts arrive at their recommendations. It's why most don't accomplish much when they are eventually saddled with the responsibility.

Sadly, LG chairmen in most states are not elected or "appointed" for their intelligence or smartness but for being grassroot soldiers.
Any autonomy granted should be followed by serious elections of qualified people.

IfnobeGod20:
OBJ and Atiku started fighting when the issue of third term came up. They were best food friends for almost 7 years and he was in control of the government for almost 5 years, as OBJ was traveling from one country to the other leaving Atiku to take charge of the government. The governors were principally under him then and that was why OBJ almost not getting his second term ticket because Atiku them controls all the macenery of government. Some yesterday children and some people with low IQ might have forgotten this.
If Atiku had been reckless like Tinubu, Tinubu wouldn't have survived his second term in office. Atiku really tried for him but some of you want to turn logic upside down.

As a potential presidential candidate after OBJ terms expiration, Atiku was only helping himself. Politicians are transactional.
And coming out to brag about saving someone from being removed through the might of the FG and not the ballot in a supposed democracy shows that our leaders are false democrats at heart.

Nwabali was good with penalties at the nation's cup and he was also confident in marshalling his box. But I noticed he spilled several balls you would have expected him to catch but we were lucky not to be punished. Not also confident of his judgement at competing for aerial balls and corner kicks too. I honestly don't think we have resolved our goal keeping problem yet

sacajawea:
Why help him??
Do you know his story?
It's probably his Karma. He may be very deserving of the Suffering he is going through.
Cringey rubbish

Possible. But who says the same karma can't watch to see if we would help someone in need regardless of how they got there or ignore them.
Karma is not always about rewarding evil right? It also reward kindness especially to the undeserving

DaddyCoool:
So will an amount like 5K or 10K. So let's make those the minimum wage??
Point is, there is a threshold of an amount you pay an adult to work full time. The argument sholud never be because a ridiculously low amount makes a difference to them!

You responded to a 60k offer without any nuance and that is what I responded to.

DaddyCoool:
Then reduce staff or shut down. It is inhuman to be paying someone 60K a month with the kind of prices we have today.

Also consider this below. Minimunm wage in US is $30K a year and a Senator's pay is $174K.
While a Senator's package in Nigeria is 37.5M while minimum wage is (let's even say) 100K!!

You think an amount like 60k will not make a world of difference to some people who have no job and no alternative.
If it is easy to create businesses, jobs and pay people salary, most people will own a business

If the drivers start earning 100k monthly, how much will mid and top level officers be making? Is it safe to estimate that they will be earning close to a million of more?
Then considering the size of the civil service, how much will government be paying out every month? Without an idea of the cost, it would be hard to decide if it makes sense or not.

What make sense however would be to take steps that will drive down the cost of basic items so they will not have to turn the naira into pieces of worthless papers

Minimum wage that can lose its value the moment it is approved.
Raising amounts and not halting inflation is a waste of time.
Focus should be on policies and moves that will keep prices down or reduce it

An average Nigerian votes based on the combinations of perceived competence of candidate, religion, tribe, personal or community interest and party affiliations. The combination and the weight attached to each of these is dynamic and changes based on the background of those who are contesting.

It is what it is.

All these claims that one tribe votes only on competency and others do not is not backed by any serious evidence.

linearity:
all you just stated are hogwash and shows you clearly does not know what you are talking about!

DOJ is a federal agency, had they gone after him on this, it would have been publicized more that it is the Biden federal government that is prosecuting him.

Plus Elections in the USA are state matters and not federal, so a State and not a federal agency like DOJ would have more tools and jurisdiction to prosecute him.

What is FECA? Is that Federal Employee's Compensation Act, what do they have to do with this?

Which Electoral Body are you taking about? Again the USA does not have a separate Electoral body, each state administers her elections themselves and advance laws to protect their own election hence a State is prosecuting him here.

Change of venue is at the discretion of the Judge and Trump had already appealed the denial for a change of venue before, but the New York Court of Appeal denied that request. Forum shopping is not allowed in the US, he did the crime in NYC, it is only fair that he face a jury of his peer in NYC.

Offcourse they will have to appeal, but what are the material facts upon which they will appeal? Remember that, Trump have already made several appeals on this case and each and every one of them have been denied...base of his track records, the chances of success are very slime.

You can stay in your bubble and pretend everything that happened was done above board. Experience have taught me over the years of following US politics is that its a waste of time arguing on Trump related matter with partisans on the left and right and those who are caught up with the "Trump is Hitler" bug.

Let's see how it goes after the appeal. The only thing I will correct is the error I made writing FECA instead of FEC.

COOL10:
Trump is the next President of the United States of America, whether the corrupt democrats like it or not.

Never underestimate what the democrats can do to hold power. They were caught unaware in 2016 because they thought Hilary had it in the bag and Trump was a clown no one will vote for.

Now they would do anything and convince themselves its for the right cause, as long as "Hitler" is destroyed

Dogalmighty17:
1. The US has the lowest inflation rate of any developed economy in the world right now
2. A bipartisan border bill meant to address the issues at the border was tanked by no one else but Donald Trump. He intends to use it as a cudgel against Joe Biden
3. The US president has little to do with the price of gas. Still, the US has fairly cheaper gas than most of Europe
4. Iran nearing nuclear arms is solely the result of Donald Trump pulling out of the Iranian nuclear deal

I know reality flies in the face of the narrative you are trying to paint. But a little research from your end to show you that most of what you have said lacks substance.

Lol. This looks exactly like what MSNBC turns out daily. The US economy is so good that Biden and the liberal media just can't understand why the people are even complaining.

And of course, even if Trump supposedly caused all these, what has Biden been doing in the past 4 years to correct these? For a man than came in and immediately cancelled all of Trump's immigration policies that kept immigration a bit under control, and now has a massive immigration disaster on his hand, he has surely done a lot

linearity:
He committed the alleged crime in a 90-95% democrats area and even in the very city and state he was a resident of until a few years ago. A state where he grew up, amass his wealth and built his businesses in.

He was convicted by 12 men and women whom his very own defense team helped in selecting. Instead of looking for excuses or conspiracy theories, we should just accept the fact that he more than likely DID IT and the Jury was correct!

All his defense team needed to do was to convince JUST ONE JURY that he was innocent or sow a seed of doubt in just one person's mind, and they could not do it. The DA had a more tougher job, they had to convince all 12 juries and they did!

This is not a conspiracy. If judges and juries are always right, the system will not create room for appeal.

There is a reason the Justice Department didn't pursue the charge. There is a reason FECA, the electoral regulatory body looked at it and dropped it. There is a reason why a change of venue was not allowed. I can go on and on but its best to wait for the appeal process to be exhausted and a final judgment delivered.

Trump might have grown up in NY, but he is hated or at best disliked by the predominantly democrats city who have consistently voted 80-90 percent against him.

Except boycotting the case entirely which is impossible, his defense team has no choice but to go through and resort to appeal if not satisfied at the end.

I followed the case closely. The verdict is most likely going to be reversed on appeal but that can take a year or more. The case is weak and convoluted but Trump was most likely going to be convicted by jurors picked from a 90-95% democrats area.

In the meantime, he will be tagged convicted felon by the democrats and media ahead of the election which I think is what the democrats want. Its a political play and hardball, and the left hate Trump intensely that they will do anything to destroy him and justify it. To them he is Hitler and Stalin rolled together

That anthem is uninspiring from my own POV

Abuja people. Over to you. Let us know how it goes

BucketHat:
Excuse me I beg to differ here,did I just heard you say 3 years na waoh!!!! Let me gist you incase you might have missed it,where were you when Mr President bought high end vehicles (foreign SUV'S) with supplementary budget worth billions of naira for NANS & his wife too coupe of months in office?

The cost of governance in 🇳🇬 is mind boggling!!!!! & this low grade mind people in the corridor of government keep filtering away our common wealth Left right & centre.

We've waited for too long & we've allowed the worst of us to be in authority.

It is high time we all come together & rebuke this oppressors.

Its just one year so far and we know how things are. Its a continuous assessment. There won't be another election for the next 3 years which is when the final assessment would be decided

Fair review of the administration. I agree with several of the points but not all.
We will see what happens in the next 3 years and judge accordingly.

DeepSight:
I dont think I need to respond to this brazen and absurd falsehood.



This is because Egypt -

1. Is not the occupying power with respect to Gaza and West Bank
2. Maintains its border for the main purpose of avoiding a clash with that very same occupying power.



In prisons the world over, smuggling of illiicit goods such as drugs, tobacco and alcohol still occur. That there is successful smuggling into Gaza does not disprove its status as a prison. It actually affirms it, because if it were not blockaded, there would be no need for smuggling. They would simply legitimately import arms just the way other free countries do.



Names are not so relevant as actually history. Names come from many sources. That the world "Nigeria"is a British invention does not mean the peoples called Nigerians today did not already live in the space called Nigeria today.



The United Nations and the International Community have recognized Israeli settlements on the West Bank as illegal for decades now. There is no justification for them. What does the word ïntifada mean? It means uprising. And yes, a captive people have a right to rise up and revolt. Even violently, yes, because they are kept captive with violence.



Millions of black South Africans had access to white reserved areas in apartheid South Africa with their work passes in order to go and work. What part of the mechanics of cheap slave labor do you fail to understand?



You accuse me of lying and yet you lie with breathtaking ease.
At all events, they have all been flattened as we speak - under the usual Israeli excuse that they are actually Hamas bases.



Now here is what you biblical lot fail to understand. Populations move. Migration is a steady fact of history. Conquest, wars, famines, trade, and myriad other factors ensure the constant fluidity of populations.

Now settle down and understand. Jerusalem was sacked in 70 A.D, almost 2000 years ago. After that, most of the Jews moved into diaspora, in the middle east as well as Europe. Mostly into Europe. In the intervening time, there was the rise of Christianity and Islam. At the time of the first crusade about one thousand years ago, Arabs had already migrated into the land called Palestine (I have told you already that the fact that Rome gave the name is inconsequential). And through four to five crusades which lasted centuries, Arabs and European Christians contested that land and dwelt there along with a small Jewish remnant, because the majority of Jews had since moved into diaspora.

Now, you have European settlers who are recognized as indigenes of America even though they only moved there in the last few centuries. How can you claim that Arabs who have been in Palestine for over a thousand years from the time of the crusades are not indigenous to the land? Indeed, they were the dominant people of that land thoughout the last millenium all the way down to the time of the Ottoman Empire which also colonized the place.

After the second world war, there was a move by European powers to resolve the Jewish question of Europe by creating a Jewish state. And because Britain held Palestine under a United Nations Mandate, they were able to create the State of Israel in 1948 under a United Nations mandate. And for this reason, Jews who had been living in Europe for 2000 years, Jews who had been thoroughly Europeanized therefore, were moved back to a Palestine which already had Arabs dwelling there for more than a thousand years. There is no way you can claim that a settler population which had lived in Europe for the last two thousand years to the extent that they have become white - unlike the brown color of their semitic cousins in the same region - are more indigenous to the land than those who have dwelt there for the last one thousand years.

And yes, this is why it is not wrong to call them Europeans. They are settlers from Europe, and many of them are not actual Jews. Any serious observer knows that the Israelis of today are simply not the same as the Israelites of the bible. Those Israelities of the bible were semitic people just as Arabs are semitic people - they were not the caucasian white men we see in Israel today. They were every bit as brown skinned as Arabs are today.

Needless to say, when you try such a settlement of a foreign poulation, conflict will break out. That Israel came out on top is a fact of life based on the technological superiority of the Europeans. This says nothing about the authentic and historical issues at play. \

Since that time, every peace agreement which has arisen from the Western world to resolve this issue is horribly skewed. At all events, the apartheid repressive policies which the European colonial settlers have maintained agains the indigenous Arabs remain inhumane and condemnable by all people of conscience.



And Ashkenazi Europeans. Please try not to send me to google. I find that irritating.



I know where he was born. And it is inconsequential.



I have not insulted you today. You have started again and later you will end up the way you did the other day by calling me rude.



Please try not to ask me to read up elementary things.

This is not a mere appeal to authority. Mandela and Tutu are not professional experts in some field of knowledge such as humanitarian sciences. They are people who lived through a very very real, very very vicious and visceral racist system and they are recognized heroic fighters against that injustice. It is not unreasonable to think that such people will be in a vantage position to recognize the very system they laboured against when pepertuated yet again by Europeans in another land.

At all events you should be careful with the negation of what may appear an appeal to authority. As a lawyer, I know very well that even courts of law, which are places of evidence, place reliance on the testimony of both experts in a field as well as people who have had substantal experience of a matter. So some appeals to authority can be rational, and i put it to you that even where citing the views of Mabiba and Tutu are an appeal to authority, it would be a rational one.



Firstly, there is no reason why Arabs will not be part of Israel when as I have told you, they have lived tehre for over a thousand years. It is the Israeli population that was imported, not them. Secondly this takes nothing away from the reality of apartheid being enforced against the Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza.



I dont think your focusing this issue around Jesus is useful in anyway. As far as the Jews are concerned there are far more important historical figures than Jesus. Such as Abraham, who came from Ur of the Chaldeans - a place which was in modern day Iraq. So be careful when you want to go back into history and just how far back yoy want to go.

And how did the so called promised land now become the inheritance of his descendants? Because their mountain deity told them to go and kill the Canaanites there and take the land as theirs, right? By genocide right? Please see the book of Samuel to read the specific genocidal injunctions of Yahweh where he decrees that even the cattle of the people who owned that land should be slaughtered. Is this the biblical history on which you benchmark your belief that this land belongs to "the chosen people?"

cc: tctrills. I only tag you here because I doubt I will ever have the special energy to address you on some of the issues touched on here. I can only pray that you will think seriously about them for once.

Defending the indefensible. They can smuggle rockets and guns but can't smuggle the cookies their children need?

immortalcrown:
So, the power you talk about works only in accidents?

Hmm. Not sure I know a brief way to explain this. But you can do some futher research and studies yourself
