PoliticsAnything Can Happen In America By Reuben Abati.. by lordcornel(op): 9:33am On Mar 07, 2016
This is really exciting time in America; watching the drama of
the 2016 Presidential nomination process from a distance, I
find the contests, the debates, the arguments, the hustling
and jostling on both sides of the mainstream political aisle,
most instructive, and intriguing. The world’s most advanced
democracy is proving once again that freedom is a golden
ideal and that anyone who seeks to lead it, must undergo a
rigorous test of leadership and courage.
So far, the presidential primaries have proven to be a sifting
process, and after last Tuesday, better known as Super
Tuesday, many of the otherwise promising candidates have
dropped out of the race, leaving the field to just a few
survivors.
But the prospects are clear: Senator Hillary Clinton seems a
sure bet on the Democratic side, with Senator Bernie
Sanders still trailing behind. The Republicans too may well
end up with Donald Trump. The other contenders: Marco
Rubio, Ted Cruz, and John Kasich may not succeed in
displacing Trump. And this in itself is a source of anxiety, to
both Americans and non-Americans alike. If the race gets
down to a Hillary Clinton vs Donald Trump scenario, we all
have every reason to be anxious. Suppose Trump wins and
becomes America’s President?
Donald Trump is a snarling insurgent and a nativist. He has
said all the worse things that should never be uttered by
anyone seeking to lead a responsible and diverse nation. His
campaign has been marked by insults, anger, put downs,
bully tactics, rants and unapologetic immaturity. He has not
been able to articulate any coherent policy, but he has
proved to be very creative with populist histrionics. The list
of Trumpisms is so frighteningly long and embarrassing. He
recommends torture, and the killing of families of terrorists.
He has been endorsed by white supremacists and he doesn’t
quite seem to mind being labeled a racist. He threatens
violence and on one occasion, he almost punched a
protester in the face. He even got into an altercation with the
Pope. He wants to barricade the American South border,
and build a wall to shut out Mexico, because according to
him, the Mexicans who cross the border into America are
“rapists.” And when that wall is built, he insists Mexico must
pick up the bill.
He doesn’t want Muslims inside America either, and he has
dismissed Africans as unwanted and Nigerians as a problem.

He says:

“We need to get the Africans out. Not the blacks, the
Africans. Especially the Nigerians. They’re everywhere. I
went for a rally in Alaska and met just one African in the
entire state. Where was he from? Nigeria! He’s in Alaska
taking our jobs. They’re in Houston taking our jobs. Why
can’t they stay in their own country? Why? I’ll tell you why.
Because they are corrupt. Their Governments are so
corrupt, they rob the people blind and bring it all here to
spend. And their people run away and come down here
and take our jobs! We can’t have that! If I become
president, we’ll send them all home. We’ll build a wall at
the Atlantic Shore. Then maybe we’ll re-colonize them
because obviously they did not learn a damn thing from
the British!”

This certainly cannot be the temperament of a man who
wants to be President. Indeed, one of the most amazing
things that has happened in the on-going process is how a
real estate and reality television celebrity, whose best
achievement is inheriting wealth, and turning around a
family business, more by instinct rather than any special
technocratic ability, has ended up, getting close to winning
the Presidential nomination of the Republican Party, with
the frightening prospect of becoming President of the United
States on January 20, 2017.
The irony is that everyone underestimated him. The media
loved the headlines that he offered with his many offensive
remarks. He was regarded in many quarters as a comical
distraction, and a bubble that may soon burst. There were
pictures of his current wife, looking like a siren, with her
drop-dead gorgeous figure, and skimpy dressing that
belongs more to Hollywood rather than the White House.
When Ted Cruz upstaged him in the Iowa caucuses, there
were sighs of relief, but since then The Donald has won
every other primary, and on March 1, he won in seven of the
11 states. He is also likely to do better than his closest rivals
in the coming caucuses. Except a miracle happens, Donald
Trump will be the Republican flagbearer for the 2016
Presidential election. He has received endorsements from
key members of the Republican establishment, something
that was thought unlikely. In a recent debate, his fiercest
opponents even said they would support anyone that wins
the GOP nomination. It may be too late to “dump Trump.”
He did not invent the votes that have put him comfortably in
the lead. Republican voters actually gave him the votes.
While voters at party primaries do not represent the general
voting population, they are nevertheless saying something
about the American mind at this moment. Trump’s message
of xenophobia, protectionism and isolationism attracts large
followership and excites the conservative crowd. The
average American is angry: angry with his circumstances,
with the establishment, with the lack of jobs, with the
economy, with politicians, with foreigners. Trump shapes all
that anger into rhetoric and he offers himself as an
alternative. He is not part of the establishment; he is against
it. He calls himself a “common sense conservative” but he is
actually a political insurgent. The only time he has said
anything that sounded Presidential was after Super Tuesday,
when he departed from his usual script.
This has been taken as a sign that perhaps Trump will re-
brand, and that his style so far has been nothing but
populist gimmickry. As President of the United States, he
would probably change that style, recruit experts to handle
state affairs, and restrain himself. But can America afford to vote on the basis of that possibility? Can America afford to gamble? Trump is impulsive and non-conventional; there is
no guarantee that his Presidency will not trump America and
embarrass the party of Abraham Lincoln. The character of
the leader affects nearly everything else. It will be too much
to believe that Donald Trump is merely acting, given his
surplus confidence.


Mrs. Hillary Clinton is a better choice, but going into a
general election, she would have to deal with the division
within the Democratic fold. Bernie Sanders, her leading
rival, has such a devoted grassroots followership that has
divided the Democrats into the pro- and anti-establishment
wings. Sanders has mobilized such a fanatical political base
within the party and on social media that does not trust Mrs
Clinton. She has been branded a friend of Wall Street and
the status quo, whereas Sanders and his supporters insist
that the best way forward is to change how Washington
works, and they do not believe Mrs Clinton can do that.
Despite her attempts to move a little to the left in recent
times, the insurgents running a “Bernie or Bust” campaign
may move to the Trump side during the general elections
because they are convinced she is play-acting, just to win the
nomination. Bernie Sanders of Vermont is admired for his
progressive, liberal ideas. But again, just as in Trump’s case,
his mostly young supporters are motivated by anger and
insecurity. Sanders wants to redistribute wealth, checkmate
Wall Street, and revolutionize health care. The young and
the angry are excited but those ideas are not properly
articulated in policy terms. And in any case, will the
American voter be willing to have as President a man who
says he is a “socialist?”
Mrs Clinton’s big challenge is to play the role of a unifier and take steps to unite the party, after winning the Democratic nomination. She will definitely need that “Bernie or Bust” crowd. She struck the right chord when she spoke recently about love and unity, quoting the Scriptures. “Love never fails. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” (I Corinthians 13),” she said.

“These are words to live by, not only for ourselves, but
also for our country. I know it sometimes seems a little
odd for someone running for president in these days, in
this time, to say we need more love and kindness in
America. But I’m telling you from the bottom of my heart
we do. We do."

“There is no doubt in my mind that America’s best years
can be ahead of us. We have got to believe that. We’ve got
to work for that. We have to stand with each other. We
have to hold each other up, lift each other up, move
together into the future that we will make.”

These are wise, consolatory words. Mrs Clinton has her
heart in the right place and has both the experience and the
maturity to lead America. Senator, former Secretary of
State, and 42nd First Lady of the United States, more than 25years in the limelight has exposed Hillary Rodham Clinton to intense media scrutiny, creating what many consider an
image problem. But whatever that is, it can be surmounted.
A Presidential contest between her and Trump will amount
to a choice between love and hate, between the sober and
the outrageous, between the respectable and the grossly
self-contradictory. America needs to encourage love and
kindness within its borders and also stand with the rest of
the world. The angry American voter who feels under-
represented, alienated, jobless and unfulfilled, and who
desperately wants to punish the establishment, may be
making a comment on mainstream politics, orthodoxy and
the performance of the Obama administration. But that
anger should not be turned against the rest of the world by
putting a xenophobe and closet dictator in the White House.
Democracy is tricky; it sometimes ends up as a parody of
itself. When the people clamour for change, they can vote
with their hearts, and prove impervious to plain sight
reason, and overlook likely pitfalls. We can only hope that
Donald Trump does not become the symbol of the change
that Americans are seeking. That would be sad indeed for
the free world..

BusinessWhy Naira Might Further Loose It's Value Against Dollar. by lordcornel(op): 11:14am On Feb 16, 2016
PLUNGING NAIRA – BEFORE YOU BLAME
EMEFIELE LOOK AT YOURSELF
It is either I do not understand economics
and how exchange rates work or a vast
majority of us Nigerians still don’t get
how we have wrecked our country with
our own curious choices. Just this
morning I was listening to the radio and
the lady on air went on and on about
how she thought CBN governor Godwin
Emefiele was incompetent and should be
sacked because the naira was now
exchanging at 330 or so to the USD. That
view pretty much echoes the sentiments
expressed by many people I know and it
amazes me that there are Nigerians who
actually think there is some magic
POLICY that can make the Naira strong in
the near term. If my economics and my
understanding of the way the world
works are right, then that is as far from
the truth as Jesus Christ is black.
The simple fact of the matter is that apart
from oil that accounts for over 90% of
our revenues, we really don’t have much
of an economy. We hardly produce
anything, we import even toothpicks, so
exactly what policy is going to be
implemented that will turn Nigeria into a
top exporting economy in the near term?
Where are our Apples, IBMs, Disneys,
GMs, General Electrics, Coca Colas,
Empire State buildings, Statues of
Liberties, Lockheeds, Citibanks, JP
Morgans, ExxonMobils, NBAs, Super
Bowls etc? Let me bring that closer home.
There was a time long ago when Nigeria
had a truly strong economy and the naira
was one to the dollar – even exchanged
for higher than the USD, but that Nigeria
is not this Nigeria. Sadly that Nigeria was
laid by the British, and this Nigeria (if
you don’t believe in the nonsensical
imperialist conspiracies like me) – fueled
by the DAMAGING Indigenization Decree,
has been the creation of us
Nigerians. Back then we had a booming
economy.
We were either the top, or among the top
exporters, of timbre, cocoa, groundnuts,
rubber, palm oil, etc, in the world.
Nigerians not only holidayed at home in
their villages, at Yankari Games Reserve,
at Obudu Cattle Ranch very beautiful sights to behold, which
I visited during my service year, at Oguta Lake, at
Ikogosi springs, at Gurara Falls, at
Mambilla Platueau, etc, we attracted
international tourists who brought in
loads of foreign exchange. Even Nigerian
schools were foreign exchange earners
because they attracted foreign students.
We had different car assembly plants –
Peugeot, Volkswagen, Anamco etc.
Nigerian government officials only
bought vehicles assembled in Nigeria for
official cars. We had a thriving sports
industry.
We were not Man United or Chelsea fans,
we were Rangers or IICC fans. We had
the Nduka Odizors, people made money
from sports. We also had companies like
Lennards and Bata in Aba, producing school
shoes in their thousands, we had the
thriving Nigerian Airways and the
Aviation School in the north that
produced some of the best pilots in the
world. In those days if you were brilliant as I read and was
told by my father,
you were respected much more than the
crass money-miss-road contractors of
today. Most of the Aje Butters I knew "my father said, had
fathers who were university dons. Back
then it meant something to ‘know book’.
Our textile industry was alive and well.
Just recently I watched a news report on
the textile industry in Nigeria on CCTV
News. Though the main focus was on the
comatose status of the industry, I was
stunned by the gigantic Kaduna Textile
Mill built in 1957. I could go on and on.
Today however, no thanks to our parents
(and we must call them out the way Wole
Soyinka did his generation) and many of
us (and we should be remembered for
failing our children if we continue like
this), we have destroyed everything.
Today for instance Nigerian football
(which comes easy to me obviously)
doesn’t appeal to us, we have to fly
across thousands of miles to watch ‘our’
clubs play. We even spend our hard earned naira at
different bet centers(bet9ja, merrybet, nairabet etc),
indirectly sponsoring a course that will eventually become
the doom of our dear country. Every year we collectively
burn billions of Naira being fans of clubs
that give us nothing back, but some
‘entertainment value’ – simple pleasures
for which we are ready to destroy the
future of our children. Well people,
payback time is here. Even with our ta-
she-re money we all want to wear
designer clothes and carry designer bags,
Armani, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton etc.
We all want to drive jeeps with American
specs, our children must now school
overseas and acquire the necessary
accents to come back home and
bamboozle their ‘bush and crass’
contemporaries that they left behind.
Who holidays in Nigeria anymore, is
there Disneyland here? No one buys
made-in-Nigeria school bags for their
children, after all no Superman or
Incredible Hulk or Cinderella on them.
We are no longer top exporters of
anything and the demise of oil means we
have zilch… zero. A country of 170m
fashion-conscious people has no textile
industry. We take delight in showing how
our made-in-Switzerland Aso Ebi is
different class to everyone else’s. When
we help our musicians grow and pay
them millions, they repay us by
immediately shipping the monies
overseas to produce their “i-don-dey-
different-level”music videos. It makes no
difference that distinctly Zulu dancers are
dancing to a Nigerian highlife song. As
stars concerned they also wed and
holiday overseas to impress us all. All the
musicians who acknowledge their
Ajegunle roots now speak in a cocktail of
strange accents to symbolise how much
they have blown their monies overseas.
Were we a more serious people, the
highly popular Kingsway Stores of the
past would probably have a thousand
outlets pan Nigeria today supporting a
massive agriculture industry among
others, but today we have the likes of
SPAR, Shoprite, dominating the retail
industry while Kingsway is dead. And we
Nigerians make it a special point to shop
from the Oyinbos who have ‘cleaner
shops’, ‘better this and better that’. For
our personal pleasure we don’t mind
them dominating us in our own backyard
and shipping proceeds overseas.
Russell Chinedu Chibuzor my friend will always boost to me
of going to shop rite for new clothing's every month end
back then in school while I get my made in Aba shirts n
trousers and still look smart putting them on.
I could go on and on, but I don tire. Even
as you are reading this, stop for a
moment and look around you. What you
see will probably explain why we are
lucky it is not N1000 to the USD yet. And
don’t think for a moment that it cannot
get there. Just continue to wear your
Armani gear and Swiss-made lace,
continue to spend your money on Man
United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Barca and
encourage your children to do same. (My next
article is going to be why the Nigerian champions
Enyimba FC – Nigeria’s most successful
club – not having a sponsor, yet Nigerian
brands pay over N600m to Man United
and Arsenal for sponsorship to impress
us.) Ehhh, no problem, continue to tell
me the NPFL is rubbish or the clubs
should clean up their act if they want
sponsorship, mo gbo . Don’t curtail your
interest in choice wines ( we were the
number one champagne consumers in the
world in 2015), continue to love your
American specs, cheer the education
ministry for letting schools sink to
pitiable levels, don’t fight them to
improve our schools, don’t chide them
for letting schools drop Nigerian history
and embrace British, America and
whatever else curricula.
Carry on with your love of French wines
and Chinese silk, don’t bother about
Jamiu Alli when there is Roger Federer.
Stock up on your Italian, American,
British products which you cannot live
without, including the ‘baby soft’ toilet
rolls produced only in that small unique
village in England – the days are long
gone since you were a broke student who
used wet newspapers to wipe your butt.
Don’t even consider holidaying in
Nigeria, it’s too dangerous – you have to
fulfill your dream of being Nigeria’s
Henry Ford. Don’t listen to people like me and Dr. Okezie
ikpeazu
who have a wardrobe full of only made-in-aba Senator
shirts, Etibo, and made-in-ariaria shoes that is actually
cheaper than just
one of your Tom Ford blazers. Keep dressing in fine silk
made in some
exotic place so you can be addressed
accordingly.
Finally keep letting corrupt leaders who
have looted your commonwealth and
shipped all the monies overseas get away
because to attack them does not fit your
political narrative. Let us continue with
the fine life, let us all continue to work
for Oyinbo. But don’t forget that there is
payback time and Emefiele is not your
problem. Time for us all to look in the
mirror and take responsibility.
Good morning people

Mathematician:

How do u write 4 in between 5?

China: Is this a Joke?

Japan: Impossible!

America: The question's wrong.

UK: Not found on Internet.

Nigerian: = F(IV)E



Qn 2:

Show that 19 - 1 = 20.

Chinese: Am I a magician?

American: You must be daydreaming.

Japanese: There's no commonsense in this?

Nigerian: Simple! Simply write 19 in Roman
Numerals and remove I to get 20.
That is, XIX - I = XX = 20.

This is the reason you find Nigerians
everywhere in the world in finance,
business, medicine, engineering etc -
anything to do with using your brain.


British: Can u Swim?

Nigerian: No

British: Then a Dog is Better than u because
It Swims.

Nigerian: Can u Swim?

British: Yes!

Nigerian: Then What's the Difference
between u & a Dog??

Nairaland GeneralYour Fingers Reveal A Lot About Your Personality! by lordcornel(op): 11:20pm On Jan 29, 2016
According to recent studies, if you’re looking for an accurate personality test, look no further than your very own hands – more specifically, your ring finger. As it turns out, the length of your ring finger indicates the amount of testosterone you were exposed to in the womb.

So compare your hand to the image below:



Hand “A” means your ring finger is longer than your index finger. Hand “B” means your index finger is longer than your ring finger. Hand “C” means your ring and index finger are the same length.

Hand “A” means you are charming!

You ooze with confidence and charm, also you tend to take more risks. Some might say you can be a bit aggressive. Your perfect profession would be soldier, salesperson, or CEO.

Hand “B” means you’re a natural leader!
You’re a resourceful, even-tempered, and confident, people look to you for the right answers. Your ideal job would be politician, author of self-help books, or teacher.

Hand “C” means you’re a good communicator!

You’re a balanced person who tends to listen twice and speak once, and people are drawn to that. You make others feel comforted and appreciated when they need it most. Your ideal profession would be nurse, social worker, or therapist.

Seun lalasticlala are you there.
