1. Trump doesn't need to be taking to the cleaners, he already did that himself
and you forgot that sanders core supporters are young white americans same as trump.

2. There is always an exception to the rule and this upcoming election will be one.
Are you aware that clinton is now tying with trump in utah, a republican leaning
state since 1964 ?
Agreed, but Hillary will never win Utah and I doubt Gary will win it either. But the fact that, they are polling equally in Utah is epic and means that GOP will have to reallocate resources back to Utah, what they have never done in decades.

Also, remember, that is only one poll...lets wait for other polls to come in. Trump fight with Romney is not helping him either in Utah, but I see Trump winning Utah eventually.

What is FWB?
Friends with benefits....It is a non committed lady/guy relationship, when at the fore fronted the parties have agreed that, the friendship will not lead to any long time commitment or marriage and each party is allowed to date other people, but the friendship will non the less be with benefits e.g. unhindered access to the kittyspot by the guy in exchange for tangible and intangible gifts from the guy.

In essence, it is hi-class olosho period!

I think about that too and I'm sure Trump himself thinks about that.

Hillary Clinton has been the democrats de facto president since 2005 and the only reason he lost to Obama is "the first black president" factor. The same reason the democrats leadership never gave Sanders a fighting chance, it was a coronation of Hillary from the onset.

Even though the democrats will rig this election like they always do, I believe patriotic voice will go a long way. With the billions raised and spent on campaign ads and the news media machine at her disposal, she's barely getting her nose out of the water.

And the most important of all is taking sides which are GOOD and EVIL, and according to the prophetic word, Trump is the Cyrus of our time. The next president of the US is the 45th president of the US, and Isaiah 45 talks about a builder who is going be used by God to rebuild the Babylon (America). That already speaks volume. This is the most hated presidential candidate in the history of the United States, he has not killed a single soul not has he planned a terrorist attack anywhere in the world or killed foreign human rights activists and head of states yet globalists have mobilized to stop him, from what? Fill the blank. I take consolation in the fact that if God wants Trump to be there, no one can stop him.
Great that, you are coming to the realization that, you put your trust in a loser like Trump and have resigned to fate that Hillary will be your next President.

Now, remember, Hillary is still a weak candidate and you have a chance to knock her out come 2020; you must appeal to the independents and conspiracy theories do not fly well with them. You have started paddling one....that '...democrats will rig this election like they always do".

I guess, you understand how Presidential Elections in the US are...., they are not National like in Nigeria. Each State conduct their Elections, collect their results, count them, announce the results and even decide how the their electorate college votes are divided....Now, there are more Republican Governors in the US than Democrat Governors, more Republican Secretary of States than Democrat Secretary of States....which means, more Republicans, will have interactions with this elections than democrats, but you still believe that democrats will 'rig this election like they always do'?

There are some conspiracy theories about the voting machines, those have been debunked repeatedly....if 'democrats will rig this election like they always do', can you explain why they did not rig it the last two cycles to retain/take over the Senate and House?

The only outside electoral process intervention into US Presidential Elections, where the voice of the people was mooted was the SCOTUS deciding for Bush and truncating the recount process in FL. Bush was only leading by 327-votes out of 6 million votes and FL laws allow a manual recount in those situation. Bush Jr was the Governor and Harris the Secretary of State was a GOP as well and she truncated the recount process in three counties and announced the results, despite her discretion, FL courts ruled in favor of Al'Gore but Bush Jr wanting to do big brother a favor appealed to the divided SCOTUS who then ruled on party 5-4 line on equal clause protection (which essentially invalidates FL recount laws which gives each candidate the latitude to choose which counties they want manual recounts from, FL did this to converse time from counting the whole State returns - but SCOTUS wanting to side with Bush seized on the 14th amended equal clause protection, that by counting only some votes, they are been given more protections than others, which is dumb!), thereby awarding the election to Georgia Bush...That is the only dark history and steal of America Presidential elections, and it was master-minded by the Republicans.

I doubt if Trump can win the battle, it would have been a lot easier
if he was contesting against sanders, who himself isn't loved by traditional
democrats, not the Clintons who have got so much traditional network in the US.
Not True, Sander would have also taken Trump to the Cleaners and would have gotten better margins against Trump by now compare to what Trump is doing.

The key to American politics is, both parties will eventually rally around their candidates no matter who that individual is and no matter how divisive the nominating process was.

The issue is wining independents and those in the middle, Sander had been an Independent but caucus with the Democrats, he would have had more traction with Independents compare to Hillary, plus Hillary is a very weak candidate and the weakest fielded by the Democrats in decades.

You are a left-wing brainwashed zombie who sees truth as conspiracy and lies as gospel, always trying to lie as if invisible. You don't sound like anyone who watches any conservative news, what you are saying is exactly what your co liberal loons say to try to pretend to move to the middle. You have no idea of what you are saying, in fact you sound deaf and blind. Calling Megyn and Shep conservatives removes you from this conversation.

It's only in your dreams that O'Reilly is not a journalist, and I wish your cowardly left media can be as honest as Hannity.

The republican establishment, closet democrats and pseudo conservative newspapers have always been again Trump cos they know he's coming after their corruption ridden soup pots, and it will no longer be business as usual.

Christy saying he can't defend Trump doesn't withdraw his support for him, you won't know that since you are in over your head in discuss your brain will have to be adjusted to be able to grasp. I'm frustrated over what Trump says sometimes and I can't defend him on them especially the Hollywood access recording (that was heavily edited by the way) but have no choice than to support him looking at what is at stake if the heartless devil Hillary gets there. Guess what, the true patriotic republicans and independents will have this one more moment reflecting on the big picture before the election and cover their noses and vote Trump.

You have no evidence other than Trump has be kind to women more than the Clintons. The "Trump insults women" mantra is a democrats media agenda, Trump insulted anyone that insulted him first, man or woman.

Go back and stay in your corner where you have been brainwashed beyond a point of turning around.
I must have pinched a raw nerve there, take heart & sorry.

The Truth is, Hillary Clinton, is one of the weakest candidates to have ever ran for the Presidency in decades and you guys had the chance to nominate a credible candidate to defeat her and you blew that chance by going to the fringe of society to pick a loser. Despite your characterization, I have voted for both GOP and Democrat Presidential candidates in the past, I am a registered Independent.

The GOP media caused all these with their hate for Obama, and Hannity & Rush your two fan boys are major contributors to this inevitable Hillary Clinton win come November 8. Both of them pushed lots of hate and conspiracy to the base that, it become impossible to nominate a true conservative, YES Trump is not a conservative.

I read that deep red Utah is now a virtual three way tie between Trump, Hilary & Gary; is Utah now a 'Pseudo Conservative State" in your books? Remember, they have been voting to GOP since the 60s. I do not know how proves, you guys need in order to know that you nominated a loser, so you can course correct next time instead of putting labels on people that pointed to obvious flaws in your process and candidate. Yes, Hillary will never win Utah and the chances of Gary winning is also slim to almost none, but the fact that this new development will force the GOP to now dedicate Resources back to Utah and start running ads there and do some mobilization there is epic and it reduces takes time and Resources away from true battleground states, where they would have been needed.

Just forget this election, Hillary is your President for the next 4 years! Please, remember, she is still very weak, if you do not blow the nomination process in 2020, you have a good and better chance of making her a one term President.

Remember the cardinal rule of US Presidential Elections, the Republican nor the Democratic voters do not decide the US Presidential Elections; the Independents do. You must appeal to the independents and moving to extreme right or extreme left is nail in the coffin.
FamilyRe: Nigerian Men In USA, Killing Their Imported Wives From Nigeria. by linearity: 8:54pm On Oct 12, 2016
abike12:
I don't know why a sane adult will think it's his duty to control another living, breathing and functioning adult because he is the husband. I was very hard on a nlder that was claiming he's going to Nigeria to get a wife to bring back with him to the UK for this very reason. These men live in cities with a lot of eligible Nigerian single women but choose to go to Nigeria to import village girls so they can isolate them from their family and friends and control them. Unfortunately for them, the girls eyes will open and then they will resort to killing them as a means of final control. They would rather have a dead wife than a wife that comes and goes as she pleases. As for you girls in Nigeria waiting for their savior with dollars and pounds to come and rescue them, a word is enough for the wise. It's best you go and look for work and a young man in Nigeria to hustle with and build something.
You made a valid and sensible contribution in bold above.

However, the most important question is, why will a lady marry such a man in the first place, and also subject herself to such qualities for years? Then, when they start making money and are independent, they want to break out of it.

It then means, they do not love the guy before, they were just using him as a meal ticket and will afford to subject themselves to all manners of ill treatments until they achieve their independence.

Definitely, the men did wrong by killing their wives and deserve to rotten in jail, but the ladies are not blameless, they led these men on, they saw these controlling tendencies in their husbands years before, but choose to be submissive and carry on as if they are in total compliance. If these ladies had shown their independence earlier on, I am 100% sure, these guys would not have bother to marry then and their are men out there looking for such ladies.

Warning to ladies and guys, when you are to marry; if you do not like what the total package that you are seeing; please it is not too late to say No and turn back....do not think, you can manage it, or make adjustment to the package you are presenting in the future or the package that you are seeing.

You are dead wrong and need to educate yourself that is if you can drop the jug of the coolaid you are drinking.

I'm beyond your average person that just talk without doing my homework.
Now listen. Ailes owned fox news when it was 50% conservative and liberal started penetrating the channel under him, but went on steroids later. He has since stepped down for Rupert who has paid people like Shepard Smith, Megyn Kelly and others to take Trump down. The only conservative voice on fox news are some of the girls on fox & friends. O'Reilly is right leaning and Sean Hannity who is my guy. Judge Gnea yes, Bret is good so is Tucker. Greta left cos she wouldn't give in to #destroyTrump. Even the horrible looking short man ( I forgot his name) following Trump around is a hit job, but Trump can't do anything about it lest the dirty media shouts that Trump is banning reporters. So get your story right, I'm more into American politics than Nigerian politics and I know exactly what I'm talking about.

99% of the media is left wing democrats, so how can you expect the gop story to come out? Why do you think people are not hearing Clinton's crimes? It's because the republicans voice is too tiny compared to democrats who have all the news outlets.

The only news channel that's close to the truth is fox news and it's because of republicans, others are too filthy and in the tank for Clinton. I can't even watch the liberal channels for 5 minutes cos I like to think for myself. All the democrats channels are mind controlling you guys in preparation for the new world order. The biggest stories have been buried and you are being fed nonsense, I'm sorry for you guys, cos you are just like deaf and blind people who don't know what's going on in the world, thanks to your democrats news media who controls what they release to the public. Fvcked system, Hillary was even getting the question in advance for the debates.
Dude, I can see that, you are way gone and nothing that will be said here will convinced you. You guy feeds on conspiracy theories it is unbelievable.

When you accuse someone or say something, please include verifiable sources.

Unlike your myopic self, I watch Fox News, listen to Rush Limbaugh and can't even remember the last time I watch NBC. I source my News from many angles, since I know that each media house have one bias or another.

FYI: O'Reilly and Hannity are not Journalist, they have openly said so. They belong to the entertaining section of Fox News. Shepard and Kelly are very conservative and I listen to them regularly. You speak as if these individuals just joined Fox News when Trump decided to run. School yard Bully Trump, took offense to Kelly standing up to him and daring to ask him questions about his treatment of women and for that, you guys say she is no longer conservative? I guess all the past US presidents (GOP and Democrat) that are still alive are not supporting Trump, Bush Senior have indicated that he will be voting for Hillary, I guess they are not conservative. Ryan, McCain, and a host of GOP Senators, Reps, etc have withdrawn their support for Trump, I guess they are not conservative any more.

Main street conservative news papers e.g. the Cincinnati Enquirer which hadn't endorsed a Democrat in almost 100yrs, Endorsed Hillary....The chronic conservative Arizona Republic, who had backed only Republic candidate in its 126 yrs history broke that tradition and endorse Hillary, The Columbus Dispatch, another Conservative darling endorsed Hillary...If you are not deaf or blind, you who has seen a pattern here...Trump is damaged goods.

Christie, an avid Trump supporter, who is also heading Trump's Presidential Transition Team, just announced today that, he cannot defend Trump...Trump's campaign manager, have starting laying down bases for an exit due to some 'family needs'.

The biggest mistake republicans have made is to allow democrats to corner the media. Now the public only hear what media mafia cooks and exaggerates about Trump while covering up Hillary Clinton's many crimes. They even manipulate the polls and literally in combat with Trump. A big lesson, I'm definitely going into media business, whoever controls the information controls the information!

Bill Clinton's only child is half black who has been banished by Hillary. People have told the guy that they couldn't help him get message to Bill Clinton cos they don't want to be the number 50 person Hillary will kill, as all Clinton's close confidants have wound up dead mysteriously up to 49 of them including the man Hillary had an affair with, heartless woman.
Again, not truth, you listen too much to the GOP complains and spins, without taking time to do some research and look into statistics.

Fox News is a major GOP media power house, it's rating is larger than all the liberal leaning medias combined.

Agreed, their are more liberal leaning medias in the US, but viewership and ratings on the conservative leaning ones outperforms the liberal ones combined.

Which means the conservative message get more exposure and penetration.

The problem is the GOP the distortion in theGOP messaging, making lots of people to discard them.

Not True, Trump was trying to control everything thing and when the moderators will have none of thing, he complains that, they are not giving him enough time, it is the same tactics bullies employ, when they don't get their way.

During the second debate, Trump spoke for 39mins, 7sec while Clinton spoke for 38mins, 29secs.

OP, the saying goes that...the devil you know, is better than the angel you do not know and that rings especially true in marriage.

Even if you are based in Nigeria, one month is not enough to pull the trigger on serious business like marriage. Giving your current status, virtually 95% of ladies you will meet, will agree to marry you without blinking an eye.

Do not make the mistake that, others have made and are regretting it, every single day of their life. The odds are against you.....

Pause for a moment, maybe your idea of marriage have not evolved as every other aspect of your life has, hence you might be looking at the ladies in UK of marriageable qualities differently. You may be still stuck in the Nigeria you left years ago, maybe you have to re-examine your idea of 'what a perfect marriage is', but believe the hype, the movies and TVs are also very deceiving.

Uber ends

I support the Lagos govt.

Uber breaks regulations and avoids paying taxes all over the world and makes its money by exploiting and under paying its drivers.

Uber has no future because its business model of exploiting its drivers who happen to be the backbone of its business is flawed and this would be their down fall.

I give Uber maximum 3 years before it implodes and disappears.
Don't hold your breath, because it aren't happening, Uber only leaves a city if there is money to be made in that city.

As for exploitation, no one is forced to work for Uber and for God's sake, it is a partime job...it is myopic and short-sighted to think that, you can get rich by driving for uber.

The last time I was in Lagos, I used uber when convenient. I got talking with one of my driver, a very young boy, who just finished secondary school waiting to get into the Uni, we talked at length, I was surprise to learn that this young guy makes about N300k/month driving for Uber, now tell me...how many experienced graduate workers with even 10years on the job makes that kind of money? I guess you might summise that, this young guy is being exploited.

Breakdown of his earnings: on a worst day, he makes about 10 trips@ average N3k (he easily make 15 trips, especially in the night) and works for 20-25 days a week for a total of N600k to N750k...settles the owner of the car 50%.

Uber is the proverbial cat with nine lives! They have survived in the US and many western countries despite the fierce attack from the statuesque because of their tenacity and the company is very good at arm twisting.

Previously, Newark NJ ban Uber from the Newark International Airport, NJ USA which is a lucrative hop for passengers. In fact Uber drivers were arrested and some posted their horrible experience on YouTube, not long after the local Taxi Union celebrated a new milestone, the signing of a deal in the city that meant a death nail to Uber. Then the State sponsored a bill to ensure the burial will be a foregone conclusion.

Then Uber spring into action, sensing the big money to be made...they started paying the fines of any Uber driver that got a ticket, just send them the picture of the ticket and the prove that you have paid it and viola you got your money back!

They then brought in some mouth watering deal that the city can just resist and viola! Newark International Airport is a second parking lot for Uber drivers waiting to pick passengers.

As for that state law? Well, it has been drastically watered down. Now some in the local taxi union sensing the loosing battle have upgraded the look of their taxi and have signed up with Uber and now carrying GPS and working for Uber...intact, most TLC cab drivers in New York City are Uber drivers as well.

Über has perfected this strategy and rolls it out in any city with potentials to make them money. Bottomline, these laws will not make Uber to leave as long as there is money to be made, if anything they will affect the local cab services that does not have the financial might of an international company first, before they start affecting Uber.

Secondly, the demography that used Uber in Nigeria are influential after all if one can choose to pay N3,500 for a trip that would have cost just N150, they are not push overs. Lagos, just need money, and Uber will give them a deal that they will not refuse, my fears is...the local cab company which this new law is purported to help...will not be fully represented at the meeting, when that deal is made.

Putting a 'got' before the 'caught up' would have conveyed a different meaning in that...the "Armed Robbers got caught up in gun battle with the police..."...maybe this is your intent.

sobmos:
Look at it from another angle... It's a welcome development, legalizing the so called "foundation fee" is an act devised by the Lagos state government to curb the incessant troubles by the land grabbers (omo onile)... Once you pay your foundation fee that's the end of the story, if after paying your foundation fee and you're still troubled by the omo oniles, that makes it illegal,and you can sue them in court.... If you live in ikorodu you'll understand what I'm saying, the omo oniles are the general overlords in ikorodu, after paying for a piece of land , the omo onile can collect it back and there's nothing you can do about it. People should look at this new law from a different angle, you'll find that it's the lasting solution to this so called omo onile brouhaha.
Nonesense, prior to this; what laws in the books gives the omoniles the rights to collect a land that had been legally sold back?

Prior to this law, you still have the right to take them to court, this law did not give a land buyer more protection, it just legalized the omoniles' trade.

If the omoniles do not have regards to laws and courts, this will not suddenly make them to change their heart and stop collecting roofing fees after collecting foundation fees.

The guy deserves what he got? 40 solid years? Well.... Gays in Nigeria deserve what they get too. 15 years. They should stop screaming and crying wolf when they get caught and served.
Perspective is important here.....being gay or not being gay is not a crime in the US...The Court simply saw this as an attempted double homicide charge.

He is even lucky that it was in Georgia, where crime against gays is not yet codified as 'hate crime', if it were in the other states; he would have gotten more time, plus the FBI declined to bring federal hate crime charges against him, so he did pretty well.

His recourse would have been to chase them out of his house and lock them out. Even Jesus advocated that, he said if they did not receive our message of the Gospel, we should leave their houses, shake their durst off our feet and that, the Lord will judge them on the last day. When Peter took the laws into his own hands and meted jungle justice to the soldiers who dared to come and arrest Jesus...Jesus rebuked him to put his sword away, that those that live by the sword will died by the sword and despite the fact that the soldiers were in the wrong, Jesus went ahead and remedied the situation by healing him.

On the other hand, a straight man who poured hot water on his gay step son and the partner out of anger and shock has been sentenced to 40 years imprisonment by the same Government. Who is HARSH? We know this is a grand design to put fear into the minds of people not to freely express their voice against gays or same sex marriage. But we won't be clamped down...#teamnohomo
Pouring hot water on someone while they sleep is not expressing someone's voice against gays or same sex marriage, it is committing a crime and an attempted murder for that matter.

Even in the US, no body stops anyone or any group from expressing their voice against gays, we hear it over the news everyday, but the moment you want to hurt another human being, you crossed the line and have to be severely punished. Despite Nigeria banning gay, if such an act is repeated in Nigeria, the culprit will be punished as well, it is the same jungle justice we condemns everyday.

The guy deserve what he got!

Have you experienced living in a developed country before? Pray share.

Regardless of the experience, you'll always be a second class, third class or even fourth class citizen over there.
...and you are a first class citizen in Nigeria currently? Let's not deceive ourselves, an average Nigerian who have taken up legal residency in a developed country is far better than the one who did not leave.

Yes, there is that occasional home-sick feeling, which is a good thing and you cure that by visiting home periodically.

Great innovation, but so sad it will put a lot of people put of job.
Don't believe the hype, they are replacing one driver with a high tech expensive computer plus with one engineer and a co-driver (making two) to take notes; that model will not Survive the economy of scale.

Did u hear FG charge a man to court for naming his dog Buhari. And u think issues as trivial as this is what the president should waste his time on (won't blame u though cos that's how ur hero leave national issue to concentrate on how to milk the treasury). Case is btw a man who felt insulted by the action of another man so how has that cocern the president when the necessary agency is attending to it. Are u saying a foreigner shouldn't have a life in a foreign land and so be intimidated by citizens.. .
The Police is part of the Federal Executive Government, yes! Buhari did not take anyone to court and I can bet you that, he is/was not aware of what is going on. But, that does not absolve him of any blame.

He is the head of the Executive branch of government and can stop the prosecution, take ownership of the poor judgement shown at lower cadre and instruct the inspector general police to call his troupes to order and to respect simple democratic freedoms.
