Canih28: The US presidential election is as tight as tight can be, and though there's no ruling out the hope that a miracle could occur that would give President Trump the win, it is clear that Joe Biden, the Democrat candidate, will win the elections and become the new president of the US. Without further ado let's begin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1) Nigerian Immigrants to the United States. When Donald Trump was in office, he was famous for his love for anti-immigration. His major campaign promise in 2016 was to build a wall along the border between the United States and Mexico. He was even quoted once as using racist words against African countries (something President Buhari should have addressed when he visited Donald Trump in the White House), calling them sh*thole. With Joe Biden, I guess we will see a more relaxed policy on immigration. Maybe Nigerians would get visa on arrival to the US! (Just kidding).
2) I really don't know how Joe Biden plans to aid Africa like China is doing right now. China has contributed billions to the development of Africa (and Nigeria) with loans and grants, and it pales in comparison to what America has been giving. Joe has not been clear on his stance there.
3) Joe Biden's policies on the economy might be described as a little bit socialistic in nature. In fact, an analysis (and I think they got it wrong) shows that his policies will increase the US national debt by at least $5.6 trillion, when it stands at $20 trillion at the moment. Joe will increases taxes in the US in order to generate income, but he also advocates massive federal spending because of the coronavirus pandemic, to aid SMEs. How would this affect Nigeria? Simple! I foresee a dollar collapse due to his policies (I don't have the time to explain deeply), and it would affect the Nigerian economy in a negative way.
4) Joe plans to expand on his former boss, Barack Obama's policies like Obamacare. Maybe that means he would also expand on Obama's Africa policies too, like Power For Africa. Maybe he can rescue Power For Africa from the failure that it became. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know that whatever happens in the United States will one way or another, affect every country in the world, so I couldn't help wonder how a Biden presidency would affect Nigeria. Although Joe Biden has never been president before, he has held the Vice Presidential office during the tenure of former President Barack Obama. Maybe the policies of his former boss would give us a clue to what he would have in store for Africa in general, and Nigeria in particular.

AseV: A member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Abia state chapter, Mr Asiegbu Nnaji Obed has said he has withdrawn his support for Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, a member of the same party.
This is following the reported mass killing in Oyigbo part of the city in which Igbo has been largely affected.
In a Facebook post on Monday, he wrote,
"I am a member of the Official Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Nigeria.
"I am officially withdrawing my support for Gov Nyesom Ezenwo Wike - CON of Rivers State over the killings of innocent people in Obigbo otherwise known as Oyigbo.
"It’s very wrong to kill and only an evil man will partake or orchestrate the massacre of a whole community of unarmed persons.
"Heavenly Father hear our prayers, stop the bloodshed in Nigeria.
Buhari is a visionary leader. Despite his shortcomings in terms of education and exposure, he's still able to replicate 21st century development in Nigeria.
Which kind Mr President, you go soon see Master President. it is Governor Wike that did it!
Reverend Polycarp Zongo, a pastor of the Church of Christ in Nations, Jos, Plateau State, who was kidnapped by the Islamic State In West Africa (ISWAP) around Bauchi-Gombe road, has been released, IgbereTV reports.
Pastor Zongo was released on Friday evening, October 30, through an undisclosed process, officials say. Details about his release are yet to be disclosed, however, it was gathered that he communicated with his wife to confirm his release.
The pastor, who went missing while travelling to Gombe State for a conference, had appeared in a video this week saying he was abducted by the Islamic State West Africa Province.
Pastor Zango said he was in the custody of the insurgents alongside two other Christian women, who were also abducted.
In the video, the cleric seen seated behind a prayer mat, said he was abducted on Monday, October 19, 2020.
“My name is Reverend Polycap Zongo and I am a pastor at COCIN LCC Wild Life Park, Plateau State, Nigeria. On October 19, 2020, I was travelling for a conference in Gombe when I was abducted by Boko Haram insurgents who caught me on the road. Right now I am with them," he said.
“I am appealing to the governor of Plateau State, Simon Boko Lalong, and the Senator of Plateau North, Barrister ID Gyang, and the Christian Association of Nigeria and COCIN Church to please help save me from their hands. They also abducted two Christian women who are also here with me, we are appealing to be rescued.” he added.
It is not clear if Miss Fayina Ali, a Kaduna-indigene of Adamawa State, who was also said to have gone missing same Monday he was captured, is among the two Zongo mentioned.
Miss Ali had held her marriage introduction on the weekend of her disappearance. Her wedding with a Air Force personnel is slated for December 2020.
Obviously, she is the one on high drugs because the abroad she mentioned, does the government not pay unemployed citizens monthly. Why will she compare.
