NYSC camp wey be say, after morning drill every blessed day under the Sun...... All those wicked soldiers go force everyone to pick fleshy used condom from parade ground and throw it away, so that they wouldn’t be there when parades start later in the day. You don’t have to be a DOG as some are saying here to know, this dark side (or good side depending on the individual) of NYSC. In fact, we don’t even know who is worst at doing this; the soldiers or the corpers. Female corpers can trade pussy for ‘get out of morning drill card’ and for anything in cam, including favorable hostel assignment, posting, etc. Many do it for the fun, more so because they are among strangers who, they believe they will never meet again and in a new State and new environment where no one know them. |
techmo:You are giving too much credit to Nigeria Politicians and putting too much faith in the Nigeria voters to think that, they wouldn’t vote against their own self interests again and again. When Election Day roll by, all the Politicians need is to put three cups rice in a sack, stamp their picture on the bag, add N2000 to it and distribute it in their constituencies and the votes will flow. And to ensure plans at the voting booths work as they intended, they will up the amount to N5000 for the young and able youths in the constituency, so they can act as enforcers and Election violence coordinators. |
hmmm...... Na wa oh, all of una wey dey suggest say make him dey drive the car or leaving it running to keep it warm all the time, is that not like using a sledge hammer to kill a mosquito? Considering the price of fuel in Nigeria today and the occasional long queue at filling stations in Nigeria (depending on where you lives), you will quickly realize that, that solution is not sustainable. |
nelsonoba:This is not true and misleading! Rudy had a meeting with about 26 GOP House legislators and Trump called in. After the meeting, these legislators wrote this fantasy to appease Trump. 1. House Speaker Bryan Cutler, said he was not part of that resolution and as speaker of the House, he has not scheduled any session days to consider the resolution before the session ends for the year. 2. There are no such resolution in PA Senate. 3. House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff, R-Centre County, in responding to the resolution repeated on Friday, they will follow the popular vote and certified results. 4. PA House session ends on Nov 30, today is Nov 28. Even if the resolution is introduced on Monday, it dies that same day because the House will adjoin and end the session for the year that same day. Mere writing a letter to the Governor will not accomplish anything. |
Fahdiga:Florida State Senate and House are controlled by Republicans....in fact, Republicans have a trifecta in Florida, which means they control the Governorship, Senate and House...in Nov 3, 2020 Election, they even expanded their Senate majority from 23 Republicans, 17 Democrats to 24 Republicans and 17 Democrats. |
Niyeal:Have you seen any transformer that generate electricity? |
OfficialAwol:That how the mind of Trump works.....when you don’t have facts on your side, just cook up some conspiracy and sell it to your supporters, they will buy it, they are less educated after all. These companies are fierce competitors in a race to discover a vaccine that will turn the fortunes of the company around, cut their name in history and in the Guinness book for being the very first in USA to find the elusive vaccine. But instead of continuing in this age old competition among themselves and among their shareholders and financial backers....these companies came together to hitch a plan against the Dummy Donny. They said...let’s not announce that our vaccines are successful until a week after the Election. And though we are all competitors, Pfizer you should be the first one to announce your success, we all know we are rivals and wanted to be first....but Pfizer, you go first! After Pfizer has announced, you Moderna you must wait about another week, then you announce second, okay? Now you third company announce yours after Moderna and not before, you must wait for Moderna. Then the rest of you vaccine makers in the USA, once Pfizer, Moderna and the third company have announced wait couple weeks more, then you can start announcing your results. One last thing, we are many companies represented here, and with shareholders and headquarters scattered around the world, please and please, no one must leak this plan to the press, you must hold it a secrete okay. That is how it went down? I truly don’t know how the mind of a conspiracy theorist work. You have to abandon logic, common sense, reality and even laws of nature to believe what they say...it is like hearing a mad man talk, those things perfectly make sense to the mad man and he thinks those looking at him not understanding a thing he is saying are actually the ones mad....that is the mindset of a conspiracy theorist and a Trump supporter. |
Studymore123:What I described is a standing order, it is me asking my bank (payer) to execute the transition to the payee bank...it is not a direct debit, where the transaction originates from the payee bank. Regardless, that distinction is irrelevant to the main point of this conversation, since in both cases NSF applies either the transaction is originating from the payer bank or from the payee bank. |
Globad:Agreed with your position, these types of fees are standard practices elsewhere and are called NSF - Non Sufficient Fees. In some situations, you even get hit twice; the person you present the check to, lodged it in their bank, their bank present it to your bank and when there is non sufficient funds, your bank hit you with NSF and reject the check....the person you gave the check to, their bank also hit them with a bounce check fees. However, I think there should be strict rules; else the bank will abuse it and milk customers with this to their own advantages, even for issues caused by them. Banks have abused this type policies before by: 1. Positing debit transaction first before credit transactions, for transactions that occur on the same date. This way, they can collect NSF on all the debit transactions before your credit transactions are entered into the ledger.....some can even criminally delay the credit transactions under some ‘investigation-verify’ farces while passing the debit transactions through to accumulate fees. 2. Some banks will first process your big debit items, before the smallest ones, this way they can generate multiple NSF. I have a situation where a particular bank in Nigeria will not allow me to cancel a monthly salary standing order even 2-6 months in advance. I was tired of the standing order, and I set it up online myself, they have a button you can click to cancel the future orders that have not been processed, but for some strange reasons, the button would not work....the order was for a relative that was abusing ‘stuff’ and I got mad and wanted to be ‘done’ with them and in anger I wanted to cancel the order, but the bank would not....but I later kool off and let it be. |
peacekante:I don’t think it is because of laziness, they are scare of their own lives and their pay checks. Even a whole TV station that broadcast some of the peaceful protesting were fined by NBC, how common journalists no go fear? Don’t be surprise that, some of these ‘BBC’ and ‘CNN’ reports are been channeled to them anonymously or under strict non-disclosure stipulations from Nigerian Journalists who are afraid to append their names to the reports. |
Enwhen:Maybe it is comprehension problem? You just stated exactly what I stated and still felt am wrong? NMS is a secondary school, secondary schools are not qualified to serve NYSC, so NMS was not been given a special exemption. If after NMS, one enlist in the military, and then obtain a study leave to go to the University, after graduation, they will not be required to server and it is not because they were NMS graduates. It is because they are in the military, other military graduates like them who did not go to NMS but joined as recruits and obtain the same study leave will not serve as well. However, if after NMS graduate one go to the University instead of enlisting, you will be required to serve. What this boils down to is, the fact that you graduated from NMS does not have any bearing if you are required to get deployed to NYSC or not...what matters is if you serving or have served in the military or Police for I believe 9 months or so.....so mere graduating from NMS does not cut it. |
Enwhen:Not true. NMS graduates don’t get direct ticket to NDA. They join the queue like every other bloody civilians to write the entrance exam and if successful, they get called like any other bloody civilians secondary school graduates to NDA for their three weeks selection board. And NMS graduates don’t have any special advantage at the NDA selection board beyond the usual ‘9ja factor’ that any other secondary school graduates could have. I have seen many NMS graduates tried NDA many times and failed to get in until they get tired or aged out. The only guarantee for an NMS graduate is to get drafted into the military as private, just like any bloody civilian secondary school graduates can get draft after training exercise. NMS graduates also have the options of going to the University, if they do and graduate within the required age, they must serve as NYSC. I have met many ex-boys on NYSC camps, they are most likely to be parade leaders, because they already have that skill mastered before arriving at the camp site. |
themonk:You are half correct, each state have its own recount laws and the SC can not order the states around to count or recount against their own laws. According to Wisconsin laws, if the margin of differences is 0.25 and lower, the State pays for it...if it is between 0.25 and below 1.0, the candidate requesting the recount pays for it....if it is 1.0 and above no recount is allowed. |
pocohantas:At least look at the bright side! God have used this simple act to answer another lady’s prayer....it is just waiting for physical manifestation. |
Jeromejnr:No Court has ordered any recount in any state in US and certainly not in GA. It was the GA Secretary of State that instituted the manual hand recount because of the razor thin margin. After this manual recount is complete next week the Secretary of State will certify the results in his State on or before Nov 20th. After that, any candidate can ask for a recount, which will be a machine recount. So far courts, have been dismissing all of the myriads of Trump’s law suits in the US. His lawyers have even start quitting on him. This Election is over and done! |
olanshi:Trump was impeached, he is the 3rd US President to be impeached, you can check google or Wikipedia. Don’t confuse impeachment with removal from office, also note that the word impeachment have different meaning in Nigeria constitution vs US constitution. Trump was impeached, which means he was indicted of a crime by a legislative arm of Government in the US, which is the House of Rep...but he was acquitted in the Senate after a trial, therefore was not removed from office just like the other two previously impeached US Presidents. The fact that, he was acquitted of the crime does not negate the fact that he was indicted of those crimes by the House aka Impeached by the House. |
BigBabyJesus:I don’t know that, people who took after the name of Jesus also bear false witness against their neighbors. |
nullboss:There is no constitutional or legal requirement for Trump to concede. The transition have started without him. |
tyup:US is not Trump’s company. Trump sworn to uphold the same constitution that Mark Esper also swear to uphold. Mark Esper disagreed with him on deploying active US military against peaceful US citizen protesters in Washington DC, when there was no insurrection. Mark has prepared his resignation since June, it was out of respect for the President to take the initiative that he has not left....but he has since been side-lined in major decision making...I would think, he will be relief to hear of his firing. |
Dem sell market, once they see see buyer and the maga pay finish come make dem wifey...they will start moderating. |
CuteMercury:Trump’s just walk into the Supreme Court and ask them to hand him over the kingdom because he think there was fraud. He have to sue at the local courts of each state alleging specific instances of fraud and provide evidence, so far he has not been able to do any of that. He can’t win on social media and twitter, that is not how the courts work. Plus, so far Trump legal team in privacy have admitted that, they do have any legal chance to contest this Election in four states. |
thatigboman:Actually, the media only just projects who wins each state and from there project the winner. They do this by looking at already counted votes and analyze if the yet to be counted votes will have any effect in making the no2 person over take the no1 person....at the point where the remaining uncounted votes will not have any statistical impact in dislodging the no1 person, they call that state for that person and allocate the Electoral vote numbers for that state to that person. When one person reaches or crosses 270 Electoral votes, they project him as the winner. These projections are not official and they are not bidding and could change, but it is really rare...meanwhile each state will CB continue to count their votes, others will trigger automatic recount depending on the margin, in some states the candidates can request a recount, in some states, you can’t request a recount and there is no recount if the margin is created than a threshold set by state laws. Once the count/recount is complete, each state will certified their results and choose their state electors base on who won the state or district. Theses electors then meet on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December in each State capital to elect the president. This year, that will be Dec. 14th. The President is then sworn in on Jan 20th. |
AfonjaMuslim:Same thing happened with Trump four years ago, he started getting congratulations and proclaiming himself as been given a mandated from the very night CNN and other media projected him as the President-Elect. Just like now, zero results have been certified by then and it was not yet officially confirmed. |
ODJ124:Pipe dreams, if wishes were horses beggars would ride....neither of those pipe dream will happen. |
Shelumiel:Am sorry to hurt your emotions, that was not my intentions. Remove emotions from this, it is good for your health. CNN has just projected PA for Biden and Biden is now the President-Elect and will be the 46th President of the United States. It does not matter if you agree, it is irrelevant what Trump thinks or what he says or want to do, it’s over. I understand you are in the denial stage, have your moments, with time you will get over it. Your candidate lost, deal with it. |
Amspecial:Biden will rejoin Paris Accord, rejoin WHO, rejoin ignite the Iran Nuclear deal, etc....and will abide by WTO consensus candidate. It has nothing to do with South Korea, this is a decade old practice and all previous US Presidents have been voting for the consensus candidate. |
simple250:That is not how it works in America, he is not stepping, the people spoke and do worry about him leaving the White House, all that will be taken care of, if he is stupid enough not to leave willingly. The US Secret Service have increased their presence around Biden and his VP candidate...Airspace over his home have been added to National restriction zone, he have start forming a transition government. There is nothing Trump can do about it, if the current trend on the results hold up and Biden crosses the finished line, it does not matter what Trump does or did not do, that is irrelevant to the process....He is a gone, he just have to choose if he take the high road out or otherwise....his choice does not matter. |
bluefilm:Biden was put in charge of the US economy recovery in 2007 and he reversed the Bush recession around and put in place a robust economy that was handed over to Trump on a platter of gold. From all records, it appear that Trump will hand back the economy in a worst shape than when it was given to him. |
Johnnyessence:You forgot the part where they said, it was a human error and not the software’s and the error would have been got during canvassing & certification. The below is part of the report from the county admitting to the human error and how their processes or verification would still have caught it... “... A spokesperson for Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, tells 6 News the skewed results were the result of a “county user error” not a software issue and there is no reason to believe similar errors with ballot counts happened anywhere else. According to Tracy Wimmer, the issue would also have been identified during the certification of results by county canvassers if it had not already come to light.” |
Activist001:You are misguided by looking just at the low number.... When Obama took office on Jan 20, 2009; black unemployment was about 12.7% and when he hand over to Trump on Jan 20, 2017....black unemployment reduced to about 8.7%, which means Obama reduced black unemployment by 4.0%. The lowest Trump took black unemployment to was about 5.5%, which mean Trump at his very peak was only able to reduce black unemployment by 3.2%...even at his peak, Obama reduced black unemployment with 0.8% more than Trump. At the moment Oct 2020, black unemployment is at 10.8%, meaning more blacks will be unemployed when Trump round up his presidency than when Obama hand over to him by -2.1%, so put your black unemployment question in the proper perspective Obama vi-sa-vi Trump. On the question of Proud Boy, you are so wrong...the US intelligence agencies under Trump have labeled the Proud Boys as ‘dangerous white supremacy’ group, those are Trump’s own intelligence agencies words, not mine....see it yourself. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proud_Boys Trump called the Coronavirus a Chinese or Democrats hoax....my online dictionary define a ‘hoax’ as.... to trick into believing or accepting as genuine something false and often preposterous, so if you are calling something false, then you meant is not real. |
Jeromejnr:Bros, for your sanity, don’t be repeating everything you hear on Fox News and from Trump campaign online, it make you look stupid. Even Trump lawyers are not alleging these things in their court filings....a good example; Trump campaign said they are preventing their vote count observers from entering the room and monitoring the vote counts.....in their court filing, they admitted that their observers are allowed inside the room, that they want the distant where observers are allowed to stand to be reduced from about 12 ft to 6th....There are many instances of that. Back to your watermark cock and bull story. Trump or the CIA does have access to ballots...the best they can do is to request their individual ballots from the states, which are uniquely coded by each county election office....let me give you a pick.....there are about 67 counties in PA each of these counties print their ballots themselves, code them themselves and mail them out themselves, the Governor of the State does not even have access to those ballots....now multiply that 67 across the 51 states in America and see how many agencies handle these ballots. Also, Trump can just show up at the Supreme count and allege that there is fraud and wipe out a ‘secret watermark’....he must start that allegation and show proof and evidence at the states local courts, if they reject his claims, he appeal to the next and the next until it gets to the Supreme Court. So far they have not alleged anything of such at any lower court, they just put that disinformation out there, hoping some low information consumers like yourself will believe and spread it. |
