if na you, you no go pardon your friends? Thats why its called a pardon in the first place. To absolve you of your crimes

It is an outdated ability that gives a President too much power. People like Obama (even he had some controversial Pardons) and Bush used to the right way- to pardon nonviolent offenders like people on bogus sentences just for smoking Marijuana of other drugs. Most Americans I know would rather the President doesn't have that much power.

Let me ask you, if the Nigerian constitution allowed Buhari to pardon his friends, would you be in support? They would loot the country dry and pardon each other.

God bless Donald Trump

Fake News Media won't show you these pictures below:

Did you even read the headline of the image you posted? (edit: he's changed it. It read "despite photo op, Trump admin fails to fulfill empty promises to black community). It's almost comical at this point. Lol. And the pardon of Lil Wayne was just a smokescreen for his more egregious pardons (like the pardon of Bannon, who collected money from dumb Trump supporters to "build the Wall" and pocketed it for himself). That's the same tactic Bill Clinton used to pardon his brother in law: pardon a famous person like Lil Wayne and let the media focus on them while the real criminals escape under the radar.

Nigeria. Lol. A bunch of rich men will pay to sit in a fancy room and give themselves awards. Aka circlejerking

Of everything written up there, all some people could come up with are arguments of ethnic superiority. Nigeria isn't ready.

No.

I feel the problem with anonymous, decentralized networks is that they're hotbeds for crime- imagine a social network with no moderation at all. Isis and Boko Haram would probably even use it to openly recruit. After all, nobody's there to stop them. At the same time, we also have concerns about balancing free speech with moderating violence. Trump had to be banned, he was too dangerous for a normal, sane society. But the people angry about free speech being suppressed have legitimate concerns. Should we really give one man (Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg, Seun Osewa, etc) the power to control discussion? Give them the right to be the ultimate judge? Yes, it's their platform, private property, but that kind of sole power makes them the judge and the jury, the ultimate arbiter of public discussion. This whole issue is a real head scratcher.

The number of underage boys that get raped in Nigerian secondary schools is seriously underreported. I remember back then too, we caught one of our mates. Turned out he had been molesting several of them (junior students) and giving them snacks and money to shut up. Hopefully if this issue is concluded properly it will encourage other victims to speak up.

Sing

Myself lol. I really tried

None really. Just keeping it moving and hoping things turn out okay.

MurderEnglish:
Still available?

Sorry, not available anymore

pek:
No they can't. They don't have the right/power to do that. It's the police and court that can give them the order

Can't the bank report to the police on behalf of the customer? How was UBA able to threaten the other scammer with account freezing?

Most Nigerian banks collaborate with scammers. Especially ecobank... Still allowing customers to open bank accounts without BVN. Was scammed of about 50k a year ago and they did nothing, absolutely nothing. Don't send money to anyone who doesn't have a proven track record in Nigeria, because you can't trust anyone here.

Or just go "The Technical University" in Ibadan. You get a university education + technical skills all in one. First of its kind in Nigeria.

Bruno Penandes. Lol. Jokes aside he's good but I really don't like the way he fishes for penalties all the time.

Someone said something on the radio, that it "isn't time to protest yet", because clearly things are not bad enough for everyone, that there are still a lot of comfortable or semi-comfortable Nigerians who can afford to manage and live through the hardship (most of us actually belong to this category). Basically implying that when things get extremely bad, to the point that everyone is affected, even up to the so called "rich people", nobody would tell us to get our pitchforks out to protest. To be honest, he's right, though I'm not sure the point he wanted to make. Because on one hand I agree with the people protesting for a better Nigeria, but on the other hand, we need our lives to go on, the rest of the world isn't waiting for us.

Juliusmomoh:
Who go even VOTE am in?

People said worse about Trump and he's president today with a lot of supporters. Don't underestimate the power of stupid.

alezzy13:


As in!!

The irony is that the word is more associated with his darling Trump and his brand of governance, than anyone else.

Yeye.

Shows the intelligence level of the average trump supporter. Lmao.

These people are wasting Ziyech and James' crosses

bjtinz:
And just look at OP and his cohorts.

Shamelessly trying to subvert the will of the people.

In this ignorant, putrid mindset, he actually considers himself more human than 'those almajiris.'

Typical mindset of the average racist rebulican.

"Discount thier votes because they are less human than us"

She called them deplorables, they screamed blue murder.

But pray, what more fitting word to describe these species of humans??

Smh.

ImadeUReadThis:


It's meant to squash populism .

If we had it in Nigeria, Almajiris wouldn't be deciding our future .


Besides it has worked for them in the past.


This is why Democrats want the electoral college gone . It is the only thing checking their lunatic populist March to communism .

That word you're using, populism. It doesn't mean what you think it means. This is embarrassing to read lol.

Chinemeremjosh0:
I don't really know what giroud did to lampard that Abraham is playing ahead of him!! That guy is overrated player he doesn't deserve to be in our first 11!!thank God that almighty giroud came to our rescue this night!!

Nah Abraham did well tonight. Werner was horrible.

I don't know if it's just me but Sowore seems to want to make the protest about himself. Like he wants to be the 'face' of some 'revolution'. Or the next freedom fighter for the history books. During the decentralized ENDSARS thing he came with his branded paraphernalia and wanted to change the direction of the protests till the actual protesters pushed him out. I might be wrong but that's the vibe I get from him.

Deltayankeeboi:
Hello @greenskittles. I noticed you have not been active on this thread these days boss.

How far with your applications.

Thanks for checking, I just don't come here anymore for some reasons.

I'm finishing up my first quarter at Stanford this week. It's been incredible. The school is insanely tough and really lives up to its reputation. Feels like I've learned what I would learn in a session in Nigeria in one quarter.

Hope you're doing great too.

Mynd44:
In short "Stop acting like a petulant child and grow the eff up"

But to be honest, it is fun seeing Donald Trump throwing tantrums and saying all sorts of BS. It has been entertaining for 4 years

It would be funny if he didnt have the keys to the world's largest nuclear arsenal. He's like a child with a gun. If he did what he's doing now in any African country they would've released a press statement to the country telling them to honor the elections or risk sanctions.

Edit: for those who are still shouting fraud, can you give a reasonable explanation why the Trumpublicans are wholeheartedly accepting the results of the House races, where Trumpublicans won 5 new seats, but not the Presidential results (WHICH WERE CAST ON THE SAME BALLOT)?

I call all my Professors by their first names. These are people at the pinnacle of their field o! They are well known in their research areas. Also, I remember I had an assignment that I felt he overlooked part of my work and brought it to his attention. Just look at the response for God's sake In Nigeria they'll say I'm challenging them.

Royalfurnitures:
But how come during Obama govt in which he was the VP he never influenced the govt in favour of Africa if he so much love Africa

Why is he in support of gay marriage and legalisation of abortion?

I've nothing against him though cos his people want him as president

Your home is incomplete without good quality furniture thats why we are here for you

Why is everyone so obsessed with legalization of gay marriage and abortion in Nigeria? Well let me put it to you how he did in the 2012 VP debate. Firstly, be well aware that in 2008 when Obama was running, these were things their platform opposed. They said no to it. But over time, he came to the realization that while his personal Catholic faith is against it, it's not for the government to impose his personal beliefs on others. That's what so many Nigerians, especially the religious loonies, fail to understand. Basically in the debate, he said let God be the judge and not the government. If you're in support of the government banning abortion and LGBT rights, you might not see it this way, but you're no different from the people who want to force Sharia law in the north. You're just upset because it's not your religion that's being imposed on people.

You're saying rubbish sir

5thcolm:


Haha... don't mind him.


Trump is a typical naija style politician. He speaks the language the uneducated/gullible understands.

That's why he as lots of support in naija.

Exactly! Lmao. He even said at one of his rallies "I loooove the poorly educated" and the idiots were cheering him on

joshuaidibia:


Especially that Righteousness666 guy spewing what he doesn't know. I'm seriously waiting for all the dumb nigerians supporting Trump o. Like seriously, a nigerian supporting him is still a wonder to me

As in! I look at these people writing all these epistles in support of Trump on Nairaland and I wonder if someone can really be that st*pid. But then I remember its just ignorance.

The tantrums Trump keeps throwing on Twitter are annoying me to no end! In 2016 if you remember he said "the electoral college is a disaster for democracy" just before the election started. He was probably anticipating that he would win the popular vote and lose the EC. Funny enough, that same EC was the reason he became President, despite losing by over 3 million votes! Now, because the election isn't going his way, (the same system that got him into office), its suddenly bad and fraudulent. Mail in voting has been used in the US since the 1800s, but because tRump is losing this time then its suddenly a bad thing. I don't know how anybody with a functioning mind can support this man. The annoying part is the deluded Christians on here that think this man has any atom of religiosity in him, and are supporting him for that reason (a man that cannot name one verse in the Bible).

tRump to his supporters: Don't use mail in ballots!

tRump when mail in ballots are being counted: Why are most of the mail in votes for Biden?! Fraud!

sociologymajor:

Mehn.. Trump has a 600k lead there.. I won't be surprised if it turns Blue... 1.7million yet to be counted.. But the Michigan miracle is possible..

Considering Governor Whitmer's high profile fight with Trump about how to handle the coronavirus and her high approval rating, I was surprised to even see Trump take the lead in Michigan. I think Michigan will go to Biden.
