SportsRe: This Guy Gambled With Money Meant For His Sister's Traditional Marriage by linearity: 4:16am On Jan 24, 2021
mattmogan88:
So recently I started working as a bet9ja cashier. Today one guy came to the shop with a bundle of money, I told him its very dangerous to visit betting shop with such amount, he said its money for her sister's traditional marriage. He said he wants to double it. I tried to change his mind but before I could say a word, he has already printed ₦7200 ticket. Then the premium tears started loading. He has already spent 40k before winning 50k. I tried to convince him to stop playing which he agreed. Unfortunately he said he wants to play the last one and from the there he continued. To cut the story short , the guy spent approximately ₦79,200 without winning a dimme and it ended with a premium tears….

Say no to gambling
Good for him, why should the sister be paying for wedding even?

If it is part of the money, the groom gave her, simply go back and tell him to pony up more as the money is not enough.

Her relationship with her brother is already bad, I hope the housewife wannabe is not going to complicate matters and tell his fiancé the truth and spoil relationship between the in-laws.

People don't study medicine if it is against their faith. The Christian Baker is not the only one in town.

What if clients insist strippers must wear niqab or hijab to strip?

Would a law be made to force strippers to wear something that is uncomfortable for their profession or is against their beliefs?

Ordinary miss World Nigerian Muslims went berserk that it was disrespectful to their prophet.

The mad fellows won't mistakenly go to a jihadist bakery to request for their wedding cakes because they know that would be a formal application for a jihad.

All dictatorships in human history started with people being forced to do or accept things that were against their conscience.
Listen, I am not disagreeing with some of your point, am simply asking where do we draw the line?

Yes, the case incident was overblown, but religious objectors have hijacked and expand on it.

Contrary to your point, their are now religious objectors in Medicines, Pharmacy, Military, Teachers, etc. Their are Doctors who will not prescribe or administer blood on you, even if your life depends on it. Some Doctors will not prescribe abortion medication, even if the life of the mother is at stake, there are pharmacies that will not dispense those drugs to you.

Employers will refused covering certain medications to their employees, despite the fact that, it is the employees that is paying for it and government is subsidizing. The employees are stuck as they can’t get those medicines elsewhere without paying huge cost out of pocket for what is already would have been zero dollars to them.

Some will take a public servant position, drawing salary from tax payers, among which there are gays, but they will refuse attending to these people.

My thing is, if you are in public life; you should not choose who you service...if you want to serve a particular subset of society, then go into the private sector.....and don’t collect public funds or tax payers money, because dirty monies paid by gays is among them and you don’t want to soil your holy hands with such money.

If people feel barking cake for homosexuals is against their faith that should be respected. It is not up to you or anyone to interpret what their faith is!
So, where do we draw the line? If a Doctor feels that, it is against their faith to resuscitate an individual, it should also be rested.

Plus, we have a thousand and one faiths out there, do we respect the religious deference of all of them or just that of the ones in the majority?

Trump and the Republican party believes in freedom of worship. They've proven time and again.

I gave a clear instance, it was Democrats who pushed for people to be arrested when their faith doesn't allow them to render certain services to same sex couples.
Their faith does not allow them to render certain services to same sex couples or is it their politics?

Where in the Bible did it say, it is sinful to bake a cake for a same sex couple or sinners? All sins are equal under the eyes of God, and all will have the same punishment.

To select the type of sinners or people actively in sin that you prefer to render service to and not to some have no bearing on the Christian faith. These are political religious extremist using faith as a cover.

Jesus told his disciples to allow the tares and wheats to grow together until the harvest day. God almighty caused rain and sun to shine equally on the tares and the wheats, He causes the soil to enrich both and allow both to flourish until the harvest.

Religious folks, who don’t know about Christianity are fond of making up rules, regulations like the Scribes and Pharisees and call it ‘faith’ then pretend that, they are serving God.

Why are gay people needing to adopt childrenhuh?

In as much as adoption is cool, gay and gay marriage just show we humans are trying to explore beyond our reach. And in such scenario, we started doing some strange stuffs
It is their choice to adopt, is your question not the same as....why do people procreate and give birth to children that ends up in motherless baby homes?

If you can’t take care of your baby, why give birth?

Also, your question is rhetorical and am not gay, so will not be in the position to answer it.

Also, are you not presumptuous to think that, the reason they are gay, is because they don’t want to give birth to kids? If that is not your position, I will agree with you that, their lifestyle prevents them from having babies, but if we judge them by that yardstick, I may ask....why are Catholic Priests & Nuns allowed to adopt children, and we have seen example of some doing it, essentially when they grow older or leave the church?

Not true, you can only ban him on simple majority vote, only if you are able to convict him using 2/3rd majority vote.

I don’t want to post here, look up Article 1, section 3.

Otherwise, any party controlling the Senate can just ban the other party’s candidates by bring up some charges on voting on it.

There must be a House Impeachment, A Senate convict on 2/3rd, then a Senate vote on simply majority for it to happen.

Senate will acquit him but Democrats will table another vote to ban him from politics for life(a vote that need a simple majority) then democrats must work hard to hold the senate in 2022 mid term election,if Republicans wins they will probably table another vote to override the ban
The option that gives the Senate to ban him from holding office again, is only available if the Senate can with 2/3 majority vote to convict him.

If the Senate is not able to convict him, they can’t ban him from running again. This is the position of Article 1, Section 3 of the US constitution.

Somebody should enlighten me ooo.

Impeachment trial after expiration of his tenure.. Does that make any sense?
Makes perfect sense!

Removal from office is just one of the consequences of a Senate convicting a President after impeachment.

After conviction, the Senate can also move to vote on further penalties against Trump, including baring him from running for office again.

The Senate can also after conviction vote to recommend him to the AG for criminal prosecution for the crimes the Senate have convicted him on.

Further, according to the constitution; the Senate must immediately convey a trial once the House send it, the Articles of impeachment.

The later above is the more reason the Senate have to conduct the trial, because they are under constitutional obligations to do so.

However, I doubt if Trump will be convicted, the only curiosity here is, how many Republicans will vote to convict.

Hypocrites, I wonder how much they care about children who are already born. They kept quiet when Trump separated children from their parents and locked them in cages. They have started their hypocrisy.
That’s is them, the religious scribes and Pharisees, who Jesus caused and rebuked.

These are the people, who process to be closer to God more than the rest of humanity and are worse off.

They would have supported Trump and rejected baby Jesus, his mother and father or even lock them in cages as they crosses their border to seek refuge.

They are obsessed about fetuses and does not want anything to do with the child once born. The Republicans would will fight heaven and to ensure that a woman gives birth, but afterwards will drive baby and child into the cold night with no means.

Go look up statistics of adoptions in the US, those they label as inconsiderate to fetuses top the list of people visiting motherless baby homes to adopt children.

These same Bishops and Cardinals were mute while child molestation fester in their various dioceses, some even gave cover to the abusers and shield them from accountability and they are here dishing out nonsense.

Happy New year,
I take it that, you don’t know what the term domestic case means.

A domestic case, is another term for a family case e.g. husband and wife, custody, family support, children and disputes within the family.

The people been prosecuted are not related to the lady or her child, so there is nothing domestic about the case.

None the less, the fact that a case is domestic, does not make it less serious. A husband killing the wife is a domestic case and also a felony.

The charges against the people here are also serious felonies.

...and his opponent got more than 80m votes, more than any opposition candidate ever. And the turnout for the election was historic, more than any ever....

So, what is your point? It only goes to show that, Trump is a polarizing figure, just like he turns out Republicans, he also energizes the opposition the more to go out and vote.

Even the runoff in Georgia and the General...runoffs are usually low key will little turnout, that was still a record high.

The key indicator is not how many people you turned out, the big question is; did you win?

Despite his huge turn, he still lead his party to lose the White House, lose the Senate and didn’t take the House.

The first time he ran, people were lackluster, plus they don’t know him too well and are willing to give him the benefit of a doubt, now he is a catalyst to turnout the opposition.

Most Republicans love their country and believe in its democratic process, with the stunt he pulled after losing and after 60 Court losses, plus the DC riot, his political life is over except to play spoiler within the Republican Party.

Most Republicans and Democrats still strongly believe in their court system as the final arbiter of dispute, it is the single institution that still holds the country together and once the courts have spoken, they expect you to obey, whether you lost or not. Trump would have stopped after the court spoke and accept the results, he didn’t and lost the Georgia runoff for the Republicans, two seats that was theirs for the taking.

There was a US programmer, who wanted to proof a point.

He opened a Twitter account and wrote a program that, copies Trump’s twit feeds on a daily bases and twit them from his experiment account.

His account was flagged multiple times, suspended, etc while Trump’s was intact despite the exact same contents.

It shows that, Trump was been favored and given preference, he crossed the line long time ago.

Mike Pence is still the President of the Senate and the tie breaker vote, so a Senate leadership election is called today, Mitch will win; hence none has been called for.

Once Biden & Harris are sworn in on 20th and CA Governor appoints Harris replacement in the Senate and that replacement is sworn in; then the whole Senate will vote for a new leader, that is only when Chucks will become the majority leader.

Based on Mitch statement, the trial will not start until the Senate is back into session on the 19th, it will require a unanimous consensus or the agreement of both the Democrat's leader and Republican to meet early.

Though Chuck is calling to meet early, but Mitch has so far resisted that. Which means, Trump's will be out of office when his trial will be in full mode.

We can move forward now, we are on the same page that the House are in charge of their own timeline and timetable and can chose how long an impeachment can take base on their passed rules.

Go listen to Mitch comments, the Republicans are more afraid of Trump in 2024. Mitch stated, he believes the impeachment will help to rid Trump from the party and he welcome it, but has not decided how he will vote.

It is ironic you think, it is the Democrats who are afraid of Trump come 2024. They defeated him on Nov 3 during the General Elections, and also on January 5th, where they took the two Senate seats in Georgia.

Many Republicans are afraid of getting primaried hence their vote in the House today. I truly don’t think this think have fully played out.

The Republican Party is currently searching for a leader and a direction. They have start asking to remove those who voted to impeach Trump from House committee seats. Also, depending on how this shakes out, Trump might even leave the party and form a new one.

I truly doubt if Trump will run in 2024, if he does there are many Republicans who are mad that he incited his supporters to go to the Capito and many will not vote for him.

What do u mean by conviction. Do u mean they're voting to send trump to jail or what??
The House impeachment today, is just officially accusing Trump of the charges layout in the Article of Impeachment.

Trump need to be tried in the Senate on those charges, where 67 votes are needed to convict him, though not very likely, no US President has ever been convicted in the Senate after House Impeachment.

The Senate can further vote to strip Trump off some retirement benefits, put restrictions on him, etc....these also are very unlikely but requires just simple majority vote.

They can also vote to refer him to DOJ for prosecution, which is not likely.
