Mbaka and Hope should brace up. Tsunami is coming.

IMO is PDP.

What I can reconcile in my head now is, if indeed the Supreme Court is humble enough to agree that they made a mistake and either reverse the ruling or order for a new election.

How will the previous PDP legislators turned APC legislators react? Will they revert back to APC? Nigeria politicians are true definition of Ashawo!

Queseda:
If you want to unravel why Nigeria is in such a terrible state, a visit to Nairaland is all you need to see reasons. Just imagine some dolts already abusing Buhari when it was clearly stated that bad weather is the reason.
I think most of these Nairaland anti-Buharists have a common sickness, it is called post-election trauma
Truly, many are mad, but few are roaming

You might be part of the dolts you are cursing.

Bad weather in itself is not a deal breaker in take off and landing.

Airports are equipped with instrument land systems, the better your equipment then you can overcome most weather conditions and still land.

NMIA have a very old system plus it malfunctioned hence the pilots could not land. Had the ILS system at the airport were cat3, despite the poor weather the plans would have been able to land.

LadySwitz:
Way to go! Though this should have come earlier.

Thumbs up 2 d Minister of Health.

My boss posted on her WhatsApp story "Who will be my Val" and other series of messages concerning taking her out for Val.

I'm older than her and she respects me, deep down I really like her, I don't know if I should ask her playfully, we chat a lot. I tease her a little bit when she posts a picture that is not fine and we laugh over it.

I want to tell her if she is unsuccessful in her search for a date I can be her back up plan. I don't know if it's a good idea to tell her that. I need honest and matured opinions please.

I know many above and below must have told you the pros and cons, mine is looking at it from a different angle.

If you have to ask her....don’t use the word ‘...if she is unsuccessful in her search for a date...’

That have some undertone of you seeing them as failure on her part to get the perfect date, ladies don’t want you to know or see them as opting for you as their backup plan or second option unless off-course, when they are mad with you.

They always want you to believe that, they are hot in demand and are scarce commodity in town, and that they are doing you a favor and their are far better options out there waiting to snatch them away....it also helps their self esteem for you to play alone and protect their sense of self worth.

udoakwa:
your 50/50 isn't clear enough, elaborate more on this 50 /50 please

She said ‘50/50 from jump’; meaning she is not looking for a free loader, from day 1; you must be able to start chipping in 50% of household expenses.

Wetin I wan even ask self bi say, dis wan wey Trump don suspend immigrant visa so, even for America citizens sponsor, that takes away from the attractiveness or it is one of the benefits of marry America women.

It would not be surprise if proposition to them would be on the decline by now and might even be the reason behind posts like these hitting public forums like this.

Yes, you are been stupid, since you asked; I guess you wouldn’t care to receive an honest answer.

I just hope that, you are not too stupid not to be using a condom each and every time. Other than that, I would recommend you both continue to use each other.

We get it that, your father, brothers & uncles are of African descent and as such are.....” mentally lazy, weak and shortsighted....”..but take heart, not all men of African descent are.

brainpulse:
why are you concern, do the G boys worry about their victims?

How do you know they are G boys? Are they not innocent until proven guilty in a court of law any longer?

Plus EFCC arrest people indiscriminately, so not everyone arrested or detained is a G boy.....even for the real G boys arrested only the poor and those without connection get labeled as G boys, get prosecuted and locked... if you have money or are connected, they will even take selfie with you, apologize to you and send you on your way.

cRobo:
Very selfish man

Most men get to orgasm during sex(that's when they ejaculate) but their wife never gets to orgasm

A real man makes his wife get to orgasm

If you can't get your wife to orgasm someone else will

Are you sure?

I believe, I have seen a survey sometimes ago, where a percentage of ladies confessed that, they have never reached orgasm even once in their live and they are sexually active.

They don’t know how it feel like or how it looks like.

UndauntedYOCA:
Where is that guy that recently posted about wanting to have sex with the lady who used to be his wife's friend and is super hot? He should coman learn.

Sex does not kill, and it was not sex legit or illegit that killed this man.

Even if sex kills, and a thousand dies from it a day, that will not be a deterrent in itself.

Men using drugs to have sex also died on top of their wives, but it is usually sweep under the cover for family reasons or herald as ‘...he died peacefully in his sleep.’ Since we do not forensic on the death in this country, you don’t have anything to disprove it.

The ones that happens in hotel settings gets more publicity because, the hotel management and the lady involved want to extricate themselves from police wahala.

NOHOLDSBAR:
Why arrest her?

Pls release the lady unless you have god evidence that she's an accomplice in the crime. It's not her crime that he sent her the money.

She is an accomplice!

Someone called you on the phone or contacted through other means and say, I want to transfer money to you.....and when the money landed in your account, the details of the transfer clearly indicate that it came from a third party you do not know.

Bros don’t tell me you will keep that money?

Even if her explanation was that, the guy played down the suspicious nature of the transfer coming from a third party, she should have known better.

Infact, is that not how Yahoo boys operates? They will meet an innocent mumu and tell them to ‘borrow’ then their account number for a transaction....when caught the borrower will be charged as an accomplice no matter their denial. And I believe that is exactly want happened here, I doubt if the guy gave the lady the whole $300, he just laundered the money through her account.

Kingpele:
this woman u see here have been praying for 31 years to God to bless her... Yet she didn't stop at that, she was very dedicated,hardworking which means she loved her teaching job, irrespective of her migre salary... Now her prayers have been answered, lesson love your legitimate job, be deligent and punctual... You can never know when God will remember you... All this young people that believe bet naija will make them millionaire, u see Your life... Dust your dirty ass and get busy serving humanity.. You might Even be a billionaire in making.... Don't doubt your destiny....

Who told you she has been praying?

Why not make conclusions based on known facts, why make assumptions and blindly draw conclusions? As a Christian, one will think you want to be diligent and factual.

You don’t even know if the lady is a pagan, Christian, Muslim or traditionalist, but because future just smiled on her, you now jump into conclusions!

The Bible say, thou shall bear no false witness....testifying to what you don’t know of and only assume is bearing false witness, it does not matter if the witness or testimony is good or bad.

Dammmmn Nigggaaar

Don't say that my nigga, Donald Trump is a real nigga who I admire so much, he is fearless and goal driven...all his actions are carefully thought out leaving little or no room for mistakes.

I stand with Donald Trump

God bless America nigga

Making plans through EO that the next President will easily negate does not appear to be ‘well thought’.

He thinks he will be King of USA forever, that is the fallacy in his plans. He is just going for quick fixes that will last for just a few years, because he does not have the patience or skill or intelligence to work out a lasting solution that is codified in law and can last a life time.

EgunMogaji2:
Two points, not to remove from your excellent points.

1) Citizens, naturalized citizens can and have lost citizenship if found of certain crimes.

2) Regarding any Tom, Dick and Harry. Prison inmates have successfully petitioned for a Wife from prison. So it's true.

I'm quite conflicted about this ban.

As to your point..

1. Yes, Naturalized citizen can be denaturalized and deported, but the bar is very high; the only obvious one is, if it was found that you falsify documents or lied to obtain your citizenship.

The other one is if you refused to testify before Congress, when invited regarding your gasification and this is status bar for 10 years.

The others are if you gained citizenship through the military and was dishonorably discharged or join a proscribed group by the US and carried arms against the US.

Don’t be conflicted, it is only a bump in the road.

Good informational, but wrong on two fronts.

1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

This is the 14th amendment protected right in the US constitution, an Act of US Congress cannot even take it away, talkless of a Presidential EO which is far inferior to an Act of Congress. This only exception to this constitutional protected right are children born in the US to discuss diplomats, because diplomats and their kids are not subject to the jurisdiction of the USA.

2. Immigrant Visa is the target because, they are more harder to remove from the US and protected by an Act of Congresss, therefore can’t be touched by future Presidential EOs. Visitors can be pickup anytime and sent packing to their home country even by a ‘night bus’.

Also the US still want you to come and spend all hard earned money there, without affording you a single right. They want Nigerian politicians to keep coming to spend their loot there to boost their economy....and if you take the statistic, on average Non immigrant visa applicants tend to have more money or access to money compare to the average immigrant visa applicant...this is so because as a non immigrant visa applicant, part of what you need to proof is access to lots of cash/assets to support you in the US and to fall back to in Nigeria that will serve as a drive for you to return home....but for an immigrant visa applicant, you don’t have to prove any of those...the worst case scenario depending on the category, you will be asked to tell your sponsor to submit an affidavit of support and if your sponsor is not able to meet the burden, they can ask friends, relatives...in fact any Tom dick and Harry to assist and they can get many joint sponsors until the burden is met.

Davidflight:
She stands a chance of obtaining a visa. What can't be guaranteed is a PR

This is a wrong advise k1 & marriage visas will be affected, they are all immigrant visas.

But this should not stop you from the marriage if the intentions of the marriage is not immigration benefits. The ban is temporary and the longer you are married before submitting an application the more legitimate your union would look even before the embassy.

@sammarshall

Will that make them stop delaying flights and out right cancellations?

Arik chop my N60k, booked two tickets to Abuja from Lagos, got there dem don cancel early morning flight, move am to afternoon...since my schedules flexible, I say no problem...waited till afternoon, dem move flight again.

Man vess, go demand for refund, but na lie! Money don enter voice mail, I koko enter Airpeace waka and that was the last time myself or any of my friends who will listen patronized Arik.

They use to be good, especially those days they were plying Lagos-NYC, but they are a mess today.

Froshloaded:

Sunnycliff:
It does not take the congress alone to make impeachment. The Senate house has to conduct theirs too.

Trump is the third to be impeached by the congress and Acquitted by the Senate house. [b]If the senate votes for the same lines with the congress, the president is Impeached [/b]and consequently removed.

Here in Nigeria the house of rep can impeach the president but it needs the support of the senate to confirm them. We work in principle with American system of government only in practice do we differ due to greed and ethnicity

The above is not true! Time to update yourself on US constitution, you are royally wrong.

Also Nigeria constitution is different from that of US in tends of impeachment. The Nigeria constitution put impeachment as removal, which is wrong with the English language definition of the word impeachment.

The US constitution and the English language definition of impeachment are the same and it mean indicting someone of a crime and as per the US only the House have the SOLE power of impeaching a President, and nothing the Senate does can invalidate what the House has done, because the Senate does not have the power of impeachment.

All the Senate can do is to vote to either convict or acquit a President that has already been impeached by the House.

benjida:
Bros, bottom line is " Trump is acquitted".

No that is not the bottom line.

Going into this, everyone know he will not be convicted, even before the House started the impeachment inquiry, they know the Senate will acquit him, this is no news...the only news is one Republican sided with the Democrats.

Also acquitted does not mean, his impeachment by the House is nullify or wipes clean; he was, still and forever be counted as a US President that was impeached.

Lastly, all two other US Presidents that were impeached before Trump were also acquitted by the Senate, so it is near impossible to convict a US President after impeachment, it has never been done, more so why today’s Senate vote is no news and changes nothing.

Sunnycliff:
Do you want to tell me that if the Senate today had voted for Trump's impeachment, that he won't be removed from office as Potus?

Trump has already been impeached last year by the House, the vote today has nothing to do with impeachment....that is settled, his legacy is, he is the third US President to be impeached!

The vote today was trying to answer one question, which is....Since Trump has been impeached, should we remove him from office?

Smoothwave:
“Two-thirds of the senators present pronounced him not guilty, the Senate adjudges that respondent Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is not guilty as charged,” and thereby acquitted.

Let Pelosi and the Democrats continue wailing cos Trump gonna win again comes November.

This showed that, you are a complete illiterate!

The vote was 48 to 52 on count one and 47 to 53 on count two. Mitt Romney a GOP from one of the most conservative state of Utah sided with the Democrats on count one.

The votes were not near 2/3rd to acquit....Conversely, had the threshold to acquit was 2/3rd as you ignorantly stated; Trump would have been out of office by now, because he does not have 2/3rd in the Senate to acquit him on anything.

peacettw:
I beg to differ. Her actions have clearly shown the world that she is no different than Trump.
Trump may be guilty of unleashing his demons in high doses but at the end of it all, these people are all cut from the same cloth.

That is the message I got today. And I know that I am not the only one.

You don’t play to a world audience, when you have not completely stirred your base.

At the end of the day, the world audience wouldn’t vote for your party candidates in the next election. All elections, they say is local, so play to the local gallery.

Forget people that say...the good will win at the end of the day...bros, that is not true in every single case. There are bad people that will get away with it, some will dodge judgment, so it does not always pay to be good 100% of time, hoping that karma will surely catch up with the other guy.

peacettw:
I must confess that I don't understand a thing you wrote and this is after reading it for the third time. Pelosi goofed on this one. Watch Trump turn this into a gold mine.

Pelosi did not goofed; from the onset and the House vs the Senate votes; the country is bitterly divided along party lines.

Nothing Trump do will anger the Right, and nothing Pelosi will do will appease the Right. Democratic base has been calling for their party leaders to grow a spine and stand to the bully.

The more Pelosi stood to him, the more she stir up her base and the more Trump acts, the more he stir up his base....Trump shred the truth in his SOTU address and Pelosi shred his speech.

Each party is courting their base and counting on them to come out in large numbers during the next elections....There are more registered Democrats than Republicans in the USA, therefore if the turn is huge, the GOP are always afraid and get trashed, that is why you see them doing everything to reduce turnouts from reducing poling places, reducing early voting days, reducing poling hours, etc.

Trump Presidency has exposed the Republicans that, they don’t care about the country and that, it is party first....democratic voters have been making this point to their leaders for years and they have not been listening, but they now have proofs.

Pelosi will not loose a single vote by what she did, but will stiff up more progressive up that have been clamoring that their leaders are too lay back.

peacettw:
I knew that someone would respond to my "Trump is Trump" statement. I despise Trump but even I know that some strange forces are protecting that man. I still cannot understand how he is the president of USA neither can I understand why he is not yet removed from office despite his "madness".

Now the only way I know that evil can be defeated is by doing good. Nancy gained nothing by descending to Trump's level. I only wish she kept her cool. Now Trump will capitalize on this by being well trump.... There is really nothing we can do about that.

If you studied the US political climate very well; you will know why he became President and how it is difficult to remove him, for the records no US President have ever been removed from power...none! And none will ever be, unless they voluntarily resign.

When Obama became President, it became obvious that racism was still an issue in the US, despite the banner of religion. Trump tap into that to raise to prominence and headed one of the conspiracies that Obama was not born in the US. He even said, his investigators sent to Hawaii have unearth mind blowing things that he will soon reveal to the whole nation - it’s more than five years now, and we are still waiting.

The guy then tap into this train and rode the wave, polls and polls; states his voters are less educated and glue to the Fox News, they just peddle conspiracy theories from one day to the other.

Study how Hitler was able to capture the mind of Germans, gain their support, then you will understand Trump’s playbook. Agreed, Polosi is bigger than what she did, but Trump is his own worst enemy, get under his skin and he will keep committing unforced errors....the goal is to peel off the human face n pretext he is wearing and see the dark side of him.

peacettw:
Nancy should have exercised some restraint. It is not an attractive quality to give in to every emotion most especially in public. Trump remains trump.... Frankly I am surprised she offered her hand for an handshake considering the rancour between them.

So, what you meant by ‘Trump remains Trump...” he is allowed to continue lying everyday, insulting any and everyone that does not agreed with, continue to force the military to use his private hotels, continue to cover up his crimes, continue his pettiness, etc.....but no one should stand to him?

Look at all the previously audio strong Republican men, who once preach godliness to us, conservativeness to us, proper us of the office of the Presidency, not bleeding the nation in debts, etc...they are now sissies under Trump, they can even challenge him. They agreed he miss use his office, but can’t even make a statement to condemn him, because they are afraid.

I will say, God bless Nancy Polosi for standing up against the bully!

linearity:
Thanks, it is interesting because I have search many immigrant visas online but didn’t see it. I know it will be on the green card, but you don’t get that until you entered the US.

Ok got it, the DOC case# is called IV# on the visa and A-number is called Registration Number.

Great they changed it to ‘Registration Number’ I hate the Allied Number with passion.

chokey419:
It will be on your visa

Thanks, it is interesting because I have search many immigrant visas online but didn’t see it. I know it will be on the green card, but you don’t get that until you entered the US.

helinues:
At least good news for us..

More than average Nigerians in UK are well behaved

Nigerians a common wealth country of the UK and have some rights within UK that other countries don't have including the right to vote after meeting certain criteria, why do you think they will be on this list?

Ogalanyaidi:
I lived with my partner (USA CITIZEN) for 2 years in Australia. During this time, we were supposed to get married but I kept pushing and pushing. Now I have to marry her asap. What chance do I have if we apply before the new law is activated by Feb 21st 2020

Don't get marry because of this policy, you guys can go ahead and marry; if that is what you are planning. As far as the new rule, if you do not have an immigrant visa on your passport by Feb 21st, you will be affected; except if you have attended interview before that date and were ask to go bring additional documentation e.g. another I864, Declaration from a Joint Sponsor, a different Birth certificate, etc...these you will be asked to drop off and you can keep monitoring your email/phone for your passport pick up alert.

Please note that, it is not a LAW, it is just a policy change, look at it on the same level as the Lagos State Governor Sanwo-Olu banning Okada in some part of Lagos. That policy can change tomorrow, next week, next month, next year and surely with a new Democratic President in the USA, which could be next year or next five years.

So, get married and go about your life! moreso if you are married for a long time before filing for a visa, it add more credence to your story....so this policy will not be there for forever.

In fact, my believe is that; Trump exploited some loopholes in the immigration ACT, and given the polarity in the US political eliminate now, if the Democrats gets into power on all three tiers next time, they will go in and tighten those....especially the public charge Rule, which is applicable to every immigrate except IR2 children, because congress single them out and say, they will not be subject to public charge and as a result the Public charge policy did not affect them.
