PoliticsRe: FG, US In Closed Door Meeting Over Visa Ban Issue by linearity: 4:35pm On Sep 16, 2020
RTSC:
If trump wants to appeal to Nigerians in the US, he would ban the entire Nigerian political sphere from entering america.
You might be right, but the benefit from ‘banning the entire Nigerian politicians’ will only accrue to Nigerian-America via proxy/indirectly.

However, the current visa ban maybe affecting them directly at the moment, since they can’t emigrate their close relatives to the US at the moment.

Don’t under estimate what Trump can do in these few weeks before the polls open in the US for the Presidential Election to save his falling polls numbers by appealing to some Nigeria blacks in the US.

After all he just did it towards Muslims by ‘normalizing my relationships between some Muslim countries in the Middle East with Israel.

This is just a play to get votes for 2020 Elections!

How can three countries that have been living relatively peaceful with each other sign a peace deal?

I have never heard of Bahrain‘s aggression towards Israel or UAE.....or UAE aggression towards Bahrain or Israel.

Give us a peace deal between Iran & Israel or Palestine & Israel or even convince your buddy Kim Jong-un to abandon his pursuit for the nuke.

These licenses are not the exclusive rights of the Northern elites, host communities or LGA should hold at least one OPL & OML.

NDDC, DESOPADEC, overseas training, Amnesty, are all ploy and diversion tactics, to distract you from demanding what is rightly yours....they are mere crumbs.

So, what evidence do you have to report to your Dad now?

All yo u have now is, you met the man one day in your house and he was behaving ‘one kind’ and you stop greeting him and he did not complain and after that, he stop coming to your house....then there is the other heresay from someone else, who observe that they are too close...

Put yourself in your father’s and receiving the above report from a child you have sent to school to at least be educated and become literate, wouldn’t you be disappointed in that child?

You have to be down to earth and truly humble for it to work and ready to take shit half of the time.

No matter how advanced you are in Nigeria, you will have a lot of catching up to do, when you land in the USA, whereas she have been around the block many times over....and while you catches up, she is also up-ing hers, so the incompatibility is going to be there for sometime and it will sometime result in friction between both of you, that is where your down to earth and humility will come to play a big role and your ability to ‘take shit’

I have seen these type of marriages working for some people, but it is not for the average 9ja guy with Nigeria mentality of the man ‘being the head’ or for the alpha-male 9ja guy.

But, never say never you can take the plunge and see what comes out of it....after all, despite all the over abundance of caution and prayers before marriage in our society today, 50% still end up on the divorce line, while more than half of the other 50% are merely enduring a horrible marriage experience.

This scene looks like a set up to test the aim and rational behind installing the cctv.

Did you notice that the (assumed) CCTV captured three different angles of the action?

Or is it 3 dimentional cameras they have installed?

Anyway, what do i know, just an opinion.
Most of these CCTV cameras tracks your motion and rotates/flips 360 degrees as they follow you.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: How I Lost A Potential Job Because Of My Denomination by linearity: 10:41pm On Sep 13, 2020
You should see this as a positive, and don't take it as a 'potential' job.

The interviewer was upfront with you and told you that, they do not need Catholics, you should be grateful that he was sincere and upfront with you. You should not want those, who do not want you period!

This is why it is good to be truthful, imagine lying and getting the job and you have to start pretending as someone that you are not, just to keep your job and be watching your back all the time or deny your Catholic faith. If you want deny your Catholic faith or be godless, do it on your own and not because of someone else or something else.

Your potential job will come, this was not.

RomanceRe: Life Is So Unfair For A Man! (see Why) by linearity: 1:02pm On Sep 13, 2020
Ardar:
My argument not only hold water it also holds bricks and stones.

You can't compare the strength of that of a male to that of female. I used the adult-child example to show how people do see it.

It's a well known fact that men are more stronger than women, that's why most people won't find a woman abusing a man as life threatening except if she has a weapon and that's a fact.

Man and women are not equal when it comes to strength, same way a tiger and a man are not equal as well and there's nothing we can do about that.
It is not a well know fact, there are women that are way stronger than men and you wouldn’t know it from their stature.

I have found on average, Chinese women stronger than their male counterparts and many ladies in the US are now towing that path because of the stronger emphasis on defense on the part of the women, so they attend trainings at early age and keep up with through adulthood.

If you visit many of these defensive training places that are increasing in numbers in every town in the US, you see more females than men there.

Gone are the days when the male gender equals strength and the irony is, that video was taken in a culture that believes heavily in feminism....the core argument of feminist is that, society should be gender neutral and all sexes must be treated equally.....if it is good for the gooses, then it must be good for the ganders.

FamilyRe: Man Ordered To Pay His Ex Girlfriend $50,000 Per Month In Canada by linearity: 4:37pm On Sep 12, 2020
ENG0701:
I agree with your points. I think the reason we dont often read about women paying spousal benefits is because men often don't marry women richer than they are. For instance, Adele's ex is suing for almost half of her fortune. But this is rare, so it feels like men are affected more.
....plus, most men would chose to walk away, just to avoid the stigma that a woman is the one buttering their bread.

It is not a thing of bride for professional men to be seen as been feed by their ex or to be known that, they are collecting child or spousal support from their ex...imagine now if one Nairaland babe is your ex, and her pay was eg 100k above yours and you pursue spousal support and got it, the way she go use her mouth yeye you for for town and among you guys common friends will weak you.

....it dents their image and kills the Alpha male mojo, so many just let it go!

Person say,..if i don't kill your sister,then I'm fake'.

Shouldn't she have stayed away from him and get a restraining order when there is a precedence of violence?

One has to give the devil a wide berth.

Modified: I'm not blaming her,just saying she should have taken the threat more seriously and literally disappear.
Who said she didn’t take the threat seriously?

They were already separated and in divorce proceedings.

The guy traced her to her work, she went to work; according to eye witnesses after parking her car and walking into her office, which was a bank in the morning, the husband traced behind her and ambushed her from behind, shot her right in front of bank customers waiting for the bank to open to transact their business, when she fell, he stood over her and shot more bullets into her.

Restraining order is effective against people who are sane and don’t want trouble with the law. If someone is hellbent to destroy another restraining orders don’t matter a thing.

Never beg any man to Marry You no matter how desperate You are. Just keep calm the right man will come. Linda should just chill because this guy who treated her in such a dastardly way is a monster in the making although the girl might have her own problems too. To go please stop promising Ladies marriage if you know that You won't marry her, that single act hurts.
How is it a dastardly act?

It is understandable that, she is heart broken, she will get over it, move one and eventually find a true soul mate.

But, marriage is not a do or die; look at many marriages today, some will thank God that they are still single.

A Pastor in Florida just shot and killed his 27years wife in her work place where she was a manager. The heart broken thing about that killing, is that they had an ongoing disagreement and are in the process of divorce and in one of the videos circulating, the lady’s brother who came to intervene in one of their many disputes expressed his disappointment at the husband and said he is not a true Pastor for beating her sister...the so called Pastor turned and told the guy on video that, if he is a Pastor he will kill her sister...the guy wanted to call the police about the threat, but his sister and another lady there pleaded that, he should not escalate the matter....now her sister is dead....they are both from Ghana.

No matter how long one had been in courtship, don’t force yourself into marriage especially if the other person have a change of mind.

you also forgot to add that liberal are more likely to participate in polling than conservative.
secondly, majority of undecided in 2016 actually voted for Trump.

Trump approval rating is also soaring among independent voters.
These are scientific polls and weights assigned to them to compensation for the sample size and sample demography, the 'soaring independent voters' you alluded to are also barked in to the polls.

FYI: This election cycle unlike the previous, there are very few independents that have not made up their mind on who to vote for. Also, there is not evidence of his increasing approval rating, his average approval rating is currently at 42.7% and declining and at par with past Presidents who lost their second term bid....At this point in their first terms...Jimmy Carter had 33%, Reagan 57%, Bush Sr 38.7%, Clinton 59.6%, Bush Jr. 50.4%, Obama 48.8%.

Unlike previous Presidents who were successful in their second bid, he have not crossed 50%, so we know that just like in 2016 he will also loss the plurality of the votes that will be cast in Nov. 3, despite his poll numbers no one at this point will know the true outcome of the electoral votes, but if he does not dent the +7.1 gap between him and Biden by the end of October, his chances at that electoral vote plurality will be greatly in question.

you really know how to twist his words.

the man is polling higher than he was 4yrs ago against Clinton.
he is just campaigning like his opponent
You forgot to also add that, his opponent is doing far better today against him than Clinton.

The reason both of their numbers are higher now is simply because, Americans are now more polarized now than four years ago and as a result, fewer Americans still on the fence on who to vote for now than four years ago, most people have made up their mind in this election circle. So, there are very few people in the middle to convince and win over, which makes Trump's case more urgent.

In the below averages between 2016 and 2020; Biden is about +5 higher compare to Trump vs Clinton....Trump have one month to make his case.

Donald Trump's hated by lots of people who do not understand what's going on in world politics today. But the truth is, if Americans make the mistake of voting him out for Joe Biden, they might end up getting a worse deal than Nigerians who chose Buhari over Jonathan.
Americans already have the worst deal from is incompetency:

Covid-19 is ravaging their cities, they are dying by their hundreds on a daily bases; they have the worst healthcare system, increasing number of them are cut off from health insurance; they are banned from traveling to Europe; they no longer lead anything in the world; they are a global laughing stock; their deficit is ballooning, their external debt has increased astronomically; their GDP has taken a real beating; North Korean have gotten the nuke under his watch; Iran have chased the international watchdog from their land under his watch and are now enriching uranium with the goal of getting their hands on the nuke soonest; no one in the world take them serious anymore; they are been shot and killed more by police in their own homeland; the ultra far right have increased influence under his watch; the Jews are now afraid from these group; I can go on and on...

If this story is true, how can someone go to bed wearing a face mask? I can understand in the case of some babes who are in the habit of wearing earrings, necklaces, bangles etc to sleep (just in case they meet a suitor in their dream). Well, based on the story he obviously was drunk. As a dead man now, when he appears in that realm, he can begin to represent NCDC in the other world in doing jingles about the importance of using face masks.
I don’t believe the story!

Some rhetorical questions...was he putting on his face mask while drinking?

Did he became drunk while drinking with his face mask off or he got drunk after putting back his face mask?

What the lady did is immoral what the man did is illegal especially videoing one against their wish that's huge privacy intrusion

The lady keep adjusting the cloth as if she is unaware of the rags she is wearing

On the man part, even if you will advice unsolicited you have no right to record, as the lady rightly said if it's a white lady will the guy has the audacity to record, if the lady call the cops the man may end up in jail or deported back to his morally upright Nigeria
There is no expectation of privacy in public.

The guy is an irritant and obnoxious, but nothing illegal in what he did, he would have crossed the line into illegality had he follow through with his threat of hitting the legal.

As for the lady’s dressing, I would categorically call it immoral. The word ‘immoral’ is subjective and depends on your point of reference.

Muslim and Jewish ladies will call Christian ladies’ dressing immoral because they are not covering totally, ladies on skinny see through dresses on the street will call nudest who want to be as natural and close to the earth as God made them immoral....we are not in any position to judge the lady, we have a speck in our owns eyes, let’s concentrate our efforts in removing that speck and leave the judgement thing to God.

Majority of Americans don’t love, all the polls have his favorability below 50%. This time around also like four years ago, he will still loose the popular vote irrespective of what happens with the electoral vote, that is to tell you that the plurality of Americans don’t love him.

Trump know what he is doing by asking North Carolinians to vote twice, first by ballot then in person. He knows that, many of his followers will do that, despite the fact that it is a felony and they will also be caught, and once they are caught the party identifies of the voters will be lost in the media and Trump can go to court to contest the results of the NC citing that there were double voting and fraud.

But he will not succeed, received ballots are crossed checked with the voter roll and any double voting is discarded and the individual will be prosecuted.
