The mistake democrats made in 2020 by cheating Bernie Sanders has come to hurt them. Biden has put them in a state of quagmire. The truth is, they can't get a concensus candidate within this very short period. The only possibility, Harris, will not be a match to Trump. Democrats are desperate now and the man they taunted for the past 4 years seems set to become the president again. The worst nightmare of any Democrat. Kamala can't get the required votes......a woman for that matter! US is not yet ready for a woman president and a president of colour.

This him picture go make good "meme", especially, the [b]" You see your life" [/b]meme

No reaction yet from a Nigerian politician?

Peter Obi or Tinubu should react to complete the reaction.

Kudos to Democrats!

They are determined to see that TRUMP doesn't get close to the white house. My respect to Biden. I knew that it would come to this immediately Obama made that comment that Biden should "reconsider his re-election" bid. That statement from Obama was the final nail on the coffin regarding Biden's ambition. The democrats are also afraid that if Biden should remain, many of them would loose their senatorial and house of representative elections.

The new candidate would be up against a herculean task. Trump will likely roast the Democrats and the candidate that would succeed Biden, saying that they are coming up with a novice to challenge him. The election is Trump's own to loose. He has the momentum, currently.

This Dangote has been talking lately. It seems BAT is not ready to play games and empty our FX for him or supply free crude to him. I trust BAT, he is a businessman and not the usual politicians that have been giving concessions to Dangote. I guess BAT is asking for fair playing ground but Dangote seems to be playing the victim card. No more handouts and concessions. Pay as you go - Carry go, B AT!

Some Parish Priests always behave like demi gods. What an audacity? The same parishioners that are sustaining your affluent life style? Diocesan Bishops in the east seems very weak. They give the priests too much power and influence. You don't try this nonsense in Lagos under Cardinal Okogie or Adewale Martins - you will "collect" immediately. No time to waste. But in the East, they will be "pampered " and invited for "discussion " to resolve the issue. That's why some Priests in the East are involved in their local and immediate family squabbles, communities and things that do not concern them. Some women that have any of their sons as priest, will have issues with other people, they would call any of their sons that is a priest, as if he was a police man, to "arrest" those they had gotten into conflict with.

Trump support base is the usual core white supremacist - may looking at them and their faces, you could tell the kind of people they are ( Red people). I am not against Trump but his core support base in US are people with racist and domineering character - If you want attack me, Trump is oblivious of your existence in Nigeria.

The level of anger in this country is something else. The way Nigerians yell at each other, on the road, in a meeting, within the neighbourhood and even at home is terrible. Some transfer their anger on their children and those living with them

Some private schools don't even have primary six. From 5, you are out. Some have designed an ingenious way by doing From 4 to 6 just to confirm with government regulation that you must have primary 6

This tells you that Nigerian universities are full of sad lecturers, who lacks personal joy in themselves. For this woman to have been given this kind of birthday treat means that empathy and kindness are scarce words among lecturers in our universities. Things that are taken for granted in overseas universities. My lecturers in UK were superb, always ready to share ideas and listened to you whenever I visited any of them. My supervisor was excellent, sharing ideas all the time and supported me throughout my period of job hunting while in UK. In Nigeria, you hardly see that bond among students and their lecturers. Students are treated like trash by lecturers forming god for nothing.

Congratulations to him.
Anyway, the Catholic Church is the main and true Apostolic church.

The church that professes one baptism for the remission of sins.

My favorite city and city where I have most of my relatives, kinsmen and town's men. The update is frightening with looting and house burgling going on by the "akas". People's foods and other perishable items puts in the fridge have all spoilt. The hospitals are the worst hit and places, where preservation of things using electricity are used. Shopping malls have disposed of all their refrigerated items as all have gone sour and bad. Electricity is something that is taken for granted overseas and they hardly prepare for this kind of situation.

Nigerian parents could be funny. Everything to them is a competition. Even nursery and primary schools' inter-house sports that the school conducted, I saw how mentally low some parents could be, especially the mothers. Some were even mad at their kids, the MC and the referees in the contest. Something that was supposed to be fun for kids. Parents turned it into a place to show useless contest, argument and unnecessary quarrel with the school. Even contest like 100m dash and some athletics sports were contested and some parents were not happy that their kids lost out. Mothers should always put their emotions in check in public. Everything is not about we vs. them.

Netanyahu used the right word, "assassination". The word most US media refused to use, even the government. Netanyahu is sending a powerful message to Biden. If Netanyahu is to choose between Trump and Biden, definitely, he would go for Trump. He needs someone that can checkmate Iran and Hezbollah.

I don't know why people are saying this was "staged". He had a close shave with death. The bullet just scratched through his ear. Imagine if the head was positioned in another angle and the bullet happened to hit, he is gone!

Where is his picture? Police displays arrested criminals to the public and press and shows their faces in "crime fighter" program. They should do same on this their member.

The man don lean! G5 will consider the decision they made in 2023 to be perfect. Believe me, nobody will ever come after them as long as Wike is still with them. Wike should be one of the most powerful politicians in this current dispensation. Even the Chief of staff is coming to his house all the time like an errand boy.

As I don old, Bloomberg or Bill Gate should come and wash my face and wipe my face with their hand towel

I no mind if them still wan baff me at this age.

Lol! Let the crossfire starts.

Most gulf Arab States hates violence and any atom or sign of radicalism is immediately dealt with. They prefer to offer assistance and aides to their fellow Muslims brothers in conflict, to accepting them in their countries as refugees.

Some Nigerians and stupidity. This one is just looking for YouTube content. The house even has stone - coated roof. How many roofs in his village were coated with stone roofs? As someone said, even if it is a ghetto, the ghetto is still well-planned with all amenities compare to the highbrow areas of cities.

Nigeria's wildlife management is too archaic and crude. They need to go to East and Southern Africa and see how zoos, wildlife and game reserve are managed. This is what is attracting tourists, making the countries to earn huge foreign exchange from tourists. See how the Hyena is looking malnourished, meaning, it has not been feeding well.

This one just one talk

The way these Korean came up with SAMSUNG is simply amazing. The company is a mega source of revenue to the country, eclipsing even what Nigeria earns from crude oil. SAMSUNG is now into heavy industries, manufacturing, chips, electronics gadgets and household items, employing millions of people both within and outside Korea. This is what is called, value creation, for a countries using corporations as a yard stick to measure value addition to the general economy. You cannot under estimate the impact of human capital development on any country. Profits from SAMASUNG businesses alone is proving huge funds to the Korean government.

Victor Orban has taken over the Presidency of the rotating EU Presidency and one of his agendas is to bring peace, which he may likely achieve, as he in good terms with Putin. He equally visited Ukraine before going to Moscow. With likely Trump's victory in US and Orban's EU Presidency, both may work out plans for peace in Ukraine. But will the comedian accept the peace treaty or will he continue to sacrifice his soldiers and get billions of dollars in aides from his allies?

I keep saying it: Development is about human beings and not about physical infrastructure. It is about the emerging of free and egalitarian societies with rule of law and not about physical development; It is more about human capital development and improvement in the quality of human beings within any society.

Imagine their final moments? Those kids could not save themselves as they succumbed to the raging flood. I hate to hear kids dying on account of inability to save themselves.

Is Joe Igbokwe still doing his job? His contractors are doing bad jobs. They will bring out debris from the gutters and keep them by the road sides, further obstructing free flow of flood. Those contractors hired to clear gutters are not doing their jobs effectively.

I was supposed to meet a contact at Admiralty way, lekki, today but the heavy downpour made me to change my mind. I knew the roads would be terrible and then, the Lagos madness once it rains. I just did not have strength to navigate through "troubled waters" and the madness from some Danfo drivers.

Under rate the Swiss team at your own peril. They will beat England blue and black. That team is compact and solid.

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.

Federal government quickly approved the show to distract the youths and Nigerians from the current economic hardship. Anything to distract the people would be given green light by the regime. No waste of time. Just keep them engaged with anything why we do our things.
