zendi:Posts like this reek of bias. You can literally look at the before and after pictures of Gaza to see indiscriminate bombing. And the War started just on Oct. 7th? Just that day huh? |
Peak corruption. Using the power of the Presidency to peddle the private goods of someone who "works" in Government.

Kobojunkie:It's possible. Once your body starts burning through glycogen it also releases the water stored in then. It's very easy to lose a lot of water weight initially. Some of it returns once you start eating Carbs again. From experience, I did a 14 day water fast last year. The scale said I lost 23 pounds at the end of it. But after refeeding it was about 14 pounds (fat and some muscle). I usually expect to lose and keep off 1 pound a day when doing a full water fast. I also work out in the midst of it as well. When I can. |
Livelystone01:"Not particularly smart, not particularly witty nor particularly funny... just 'meh'" |
I guess Trump wants to put to rest all doubt that he wants to be an Autocratic Dictator. Given what happened on Jan. 6th, this could also be a call to incitement for all his nutty supporters.

Napoleon Trump believes he's above the Law. He should take a bow to the Conservative Supreme Court and all its infinite wisdom.

Here is a piece from that Liberal Rag The Wall Street Journal.. /sarcasm This piece is telling of the anxiety and economic fear Conservatives feel given the Wall Street Journal wrote it. Seems like a purposeful choice to give Trump a message. The Mood of the American Consumer is Souring Tariff threats, market turbulence causing jitters early in Trump’s second term The Trump bump in consumer confidence is already over. |

Have to admit, all these "Nigerians" in this thread defending the obvious racism in this administration is depressing. |
A40:He's not wrong. It's not simply about Economics as you see it, it's about winning hearts and minds for those US products and beneficial US policies. And the money USAID spends has a multiplier effect and propaganda effect. This is a pic I took years back. My cousin usually has an end of year party in his compound in the East. This is a pic of a child dancing to the DJ that was set up outside the compound. I thought the jacket was so interesting. Took a picture and talked to them about the jacket. Local children, never been to the US nor have their parents. Parents bought the jacket at the market. Let's leave outside the immediate good the money does. How much more likely do you think that child will grow up to like US products or be supportive of US policies or if he is a brilliant inventor want to immigrate to the US? You're thinking of this stuff in a purely short term way. When we are losing long term benefits because of people being unable to see beyond this second.

bemeruca:It's like everything else you post here, you don't really have an understanding of what you are posting so can't really lie about it well. If you've lost enough transmission fluid to have to significantly top it off you have either a very old car or your transmission fluid was leaking. And if your transmission fluid was significantly low before you put any fluid in it esp. the wrong type, you probably already had some transmission issues. Besides that your story makes sense. . lol. |
Valeur:Trump told me that in his Executive Order REALIGNING THE UNITED STATES REFUGEE ADMISSIONS PROGRAM Sec. 3. Realignment of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. (a) I hereby proclaim, pursuant to sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185(a), that entry into the United States of refugees under the USRAP would be detrimental to the interests of the United States. I therefore direct that entry into the United States of refugees under the USRAP be suspended — subject to the exceptions set forth in subsection (c) of this section — until a finding is made in accordance with section 4 of this order. This suspension shall take effect at 12:01 am eastern standard time on January 27, 2025.https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/realigning-the-united-states-refugee-admissions-program/ Valeur:You should take your own advice and probably not opine on things you don't have an understanding of. |
panafrican:Technically, the President of the US doesn't have a security clearance. Since he is the Executive Branch, the ability to see classified documents flows from his job. Ex-presidents usually get a courtesy and are allowed by the sitting President to get certain classified briefs. |
Valeur:You seem to have not read the post or heard what Trump ran on or heard what is going on right now in the US. Trump ran on America first and shutting down immigration. You know the country is full. One of his first Executive Orders was to stop all refugee claims. And then he started rounding up and deporting immigrants even in Churches, Schools and Hospitals. Some who were going through the asylum process. Some who had arrived to the US as kids and have been in the US for decades. But his mood suddenly shifted when it was White Afrikaans. Let me ask you do you know how many people are being persecuted and in fear of their actual lives in places around the world? Again why did the Afrikaans stand out? As others have pointed out you may also want to review your history of South Africa. |
Trump signed an Executive Order giving priority to White Afrikaner refugees after he initially signed an Executive Order suspending the US refugee program because it was a strain on communities. No to Black and Brown refugees, yes to White Refugees. I'm not sure how any Nigerian here can support or even defend this level of blatant racism. Sec. 4. Refugee Resettlement and Other Humanitarian Considerations. The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall take appropriate steps, consistent with law, to prioritize humanitarian relief, including admission and resettlement through the United States Refugee Admissions Program, for Afrikaners in South Africa who are victims of unjust racial discrimination. Such plan shall be submitted to the President through the Assistant to the President and Homeland Security Advisor.https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/addressing-egregious-actions-of-the-republic-of-south-africa/ |
This is like a bad joke. Trump found a group of people he doesn't mind letting into the US. White South African Afrikaners Lol I guess all that America First, America is for Americans and America is Full really didn't matter if the immigrants were white.

raumdeuter:You mean why didn't the Dems try to cut Pentagon funding over the desires of the same Republicans you're defending now? Because they couldn't that's not how the government works. Dems have been trying to pair back Pentagon programs for Decades and Republicans kept standing in the way. In fact I remember one year the Republicans gave the Pentagon a bigger budget than they wanted and they tried to hold the government hostage to pass it. It seems like you just discovered US politics and who for the past few decades have been fighting for less Defense spending and against foreign wars. Your penchant for lying and Intellectual Dishonesty knows no bounds. At Subcommittee Hearing, Oversight Democrats Push DOD for Financial Transparency After Years of Failed Audits "Like all the members on this Committee, I too support our troops and believe we have a solemn duty to ensure our nation is protected from increasing threats at home and abroad, but there has to be accountability to the American people. And as it stands, correct me if I'm wrong, no one really knows how much waste, fraud, and abuse is at issue and whether this money could be spent on other crucial programs, critical outreach efforts, and critical communities all across the country," said Ranking Member Kweisi Mfume in his opening statement.https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/news/press-releases/at-subcommittee-hearing-oversight-democrats-push-dod-for-financial-transparency |
Most Likely Fiction More propaganda for the MAGA gullible While Leavitt did not offer any evidence to support this claim, and was not pressed to by reporters, the idea that the United States government planned to spend $50m to send condoms to Gaza quickly went viral, with an assist from Musk himself.

bemeruca:He said outside a club.. Lol.. Poverty must Sux. I'm sure you know exactly where he was NY's eve and that was taken inside the venue/club as he was walking to the stage. |
Livelystone01:I hear you, and agree with you for the most part. Dems were tone deaf in their desire for acceptance of Trans people. But Trump telegraphed what he was going to do and people put their hatred of Trans people/immigrants/minorities over the health of the nation. The EO's are exactlty what was described in Project 2025. I hope he succeeds but I know he won't. But I think for the US to break it's fever this kind of needs to happen. People have to understand you can't have all the sugar you want to eat and not get fat. I was just in Naij and I hear you. My friends were doing well and even prospering, but the prices I saw I couldn't imagine how average people who didn't live on the island or earn dollars were surviving. Esp. the fuel prices. I hope it's a wake up call as well. |
bemeruca:It's the currency huh? This is part of a video I took of Wizkid who performed where I was at NY's eve. Google the venue/club. Now ask yourself could you have even entered that place for NYs eve? Unfortunately for you, it's not simply a matter of "shit" currencies. You live in Nigeria and will never touch the places I do when I land. #FACTS |
Mynd44:I agree, but they went after him solely because he was the President's son. Just compare the crimes he was convicted and the sentences others usually receive. Not even close. And then there was the FBI "informant" who Bill Barr said was credible who was just convicted of creating/lying about bribery accusations about Hunter Biden and Burisma. The same lie that the Republicans were trumpeting for years, that launched these investigations that they had to know was a lie. Honestly, the whole thing stinks and seems to have originated from Trump's first impeachment where he wanted to create an investigation tied to Ukraine to hurt Biden. It seems he did. Honestly, if Garland wasn't so weak an investigation should have been launched into Bill Barr and why he claimed this informant was credible and who paid this informant to lie. Ex-FBI informant behind fake Biden-Ukraine bribery allegations sentenced to 6 years in prison https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/08/politics/ex-fbi-informant-fake-biden-ukraine-bribery-allegations-alexander-smirnov/index.html |
Mynd44:The Hunter Biden pardon was the correct choice. Bill Barr's appointed Special Counsel went after Hunter for political motivations. The plea deal he initially struck was equitable given every past case for the same offense. It was pulled because of pressure from Trump and Republicans and then they aggressively went after him. Trump and Republicans have utterly weaponized the government, just listen to their words. I don't blame Biden for what he did with Hunter nor his preemptive pardons for the J6 committee. A President pardoning 1600 people who tried to overturn the election cannot be comparable. |
raumdeuter:You're a Nairaland Lifer, so you have posts here - a lot of Fuking posts here. Only an idiot can't deduce your age. You clearly think everyone is just as much an idiot as you are. |
Jamiuokolaa:Suprise Suprise. First post, Misogyny Moving on to calling people Nigga. You are a clearly a scholar and an intellect. Lol. That too was sarcasm. I told you the closer proximity to Raumdeuter you find yourself the more of a degenerate you are. Don't be a Degenerate. |
Jamiuokolaa:Let me get out my notebook and take notes from a guy who instinctively calls women he never met hoes. I'm sure you have a ton of life lessons to impart. That was sarcasm. But why you are at it. Why don't you give me your opinion of this chat Bemeruca posted of him lying to his female friend pretending to live in the US. Funny how you missed it. Listen, only a loser takes up after other losers. If you're a friend of Raumdeuter and/or Bemeruca, you're definitely a misogynist and most likely a loser Don't be a Loser. So don't be a friend of Raumdeuter and/or Bemeruca. #FreeAdvice

raumdeuter:Given that you are older than me and spend ~4 hours a day with your imaginary online friends. You are more useless than I. Nairaland Lifer, Captain Intellectual Dishonesty, Raumdeuter

Magnoliaa: bemeruca:Lol @ Bemeruca saying someone is lying. The guy who will post a picture of Canada to prove his lie that he is in the US. Lol Here is my very polite message with her curt reply meaning she clearly understood I no longer wanted to help her. And I said, happened Monday, right before the election.
|
Magnoliaa:1.) Sounds like you're prejudging me. 2.) I never described her as Religious in the way I understand Religion. She is Religious as a lot in Nigeria are (I'm sure you'll get at me for that reference). I am Religious as well in a different way. 3.) We're just friends and I keep it that way as I couldn't honestly rationalize to my g/f maintaining a relationship with her if we weren't. 4.) We did have a discussion about Trump. She shut it down and said she doesn't talk about Politics (explained to you she likes getting her way). I explained to her, FYI, my Politics are the way they are because of my faith. And I consider Trump contrary to everything I believe. And we're friends because I trust your judgment. Supporting Trump means you have poor judgement. She was pissed. Oh well. Her choices. C'est la vie. Anyone that can support a racist rapist is not anyone I can call a friend. We're grown. We choose our circles. 5.) And I was kind about it, I told her she could reach out after she studied on her own. Didn't expect her to take the offer. |
Magnoliaa:The truth is the experiences have changed me. Left me more jaded. Do you disagree about the Transactional Nature of relationships in Nigeria and also that most Nigerian relationships are defined by "traditional" male/female roles? And to clarify, my Nigerian female lifelong friends are dope. |
