Mike Tyson wants America run 'like a business'

Former heavyweight boxing champ Mike Tyson revealed he would endorse presidential candidate Donald Trump in October last year. “He should be president of the United States,” Tyson said. “Let’s try something new. Let’s run America like a business, where no colours matter. Whoever can do the job, gets the job.

Azealia Banks tweeted her support for Trump.

Singer Azealia Banks has tweeted her support for Trump multiple times. Previously she wrote on Twitter, “I REALLY want Donald Trump to win the election."

And in a later tweet: “Hillary has been GROOMED for the presidency. She’s another one of the establishments robots here to carry out an agenda.”

Hulk Hogan wanted to be Trump's 'running mate'

Kid Rock digs Trump

Rocker Kid Rock told Rolling Stone magazine he is “digging Donald Trump,” adding that America should let the businessman run the country like a business.

The Clinton campaign included a vast array of high-profile celebrities and this had a lot of people believing it would be able to clinch her the prize as number one citizen of the United States of America, just like it did for outgoing president Barack Obama who also enjoyed much support from Hollywood. Many of these supporters have all come out to voice their displeasure at her loss.

While Trump can call on a couple of a A-list stars, most belong at the back of the alphabet. However, Clinton’s roster of celebrity endorsers reads like a who’s who of Tinsel Town.

The Republican once mocked the size of her showbiz supporters saying: “The only people enthusiastic about her campaign are Hollywood celebrities, in many cases celebrities that aren’t very hot anymore.”

The irony of this claim by President-elect Donald Trump is that a number of his celebrity backers could also be considered "not hot anymore".
Nevertheless, they along with millions of ordinary Americans, were enough to get him elected into the oval office.

Here is a list (not extensive) of celebrities who voted for Donald Trump:

1. Dennis Rodman

Dennis Rodman says America needs a 'businessman like Mr Trump'

Big Brother star Dennis Rodman voiced his support for the Republican. The former basketball player tweeted, “@realDonaldTrump has been a great friend for many years. We don’t need another politician, we need a businessman like Mr Trump! Trump 2016.”

Please Hillary, stay strong. I can't imagine what she must be feeling right now.
There's still a chance this could swing in her favour, but who would have known that the "basket of deplorables" was this extensive and relentless.

Hmmmm

missjo:
Donald Trump is an enigma.

He has successfully made every serving Democrat of worth including a serving President so uncomfortable and jumpy.

missjo:
Trump will surely be remembered in history for a very long time.

Win or lose, I always knew that these two quotes of mine above (not to mention a few others), contained salient truths.

Gerrard59:
Both paternal and maternal, yes they were educated and they were comfortable enough to cater for their children; because they gave birth to children they could ADEQUATELY take proper care of.

Let me reiterate my stance: POOR (definition is: having a GDP per capita that cannot ADEQUATELY take proper care of the household. Brazil's GDP per capita as at 2013 was $11, 208, while Nigeria was $3,005. Brazil has 200 million persons, Nigeria? 176 million. Using such analogy, Nigerians should stop procreating and improve their economy) individuals shouldn't procreate, ditto, unintelligent beings. People should improve their IQ and resources before getting married talk more procreating.

I'm tired.

SirShymexx:
Lol, I can't believe the both of you failed to cite the elephant in the room, especially in today's world where female kids need more protection/guidance than ever. The social media age where everything is anti-virtuousness and being slutty is now a way of life and anyone against it, is slut-shaming. And also an age where women are exposed to more harm than ever.

You both know what the elephant in the room is.

I can't say i don't know and I'd like to think we all do deep within us, which is why I'm all for this OVERPROTECTION. It's necessary as I don't think the girl child can be OVERprotected, literally.

Once I was 7 years old, mama told me don't let no male play with or touch you in your pookie ( my version of Lukas Graham's hit).

Gerrard59:
If he stops procreating and find something useful/valuable doing, then yes, they wouldn't suffer. If otherwise, they'll. The stats don't lie.

Check my links:

- A cobbler and wife as a petty trader - 5 kids.

- Unemployed individual, wife doing nothing - 3 kids.

- Abuja sweeper, complains of working conditions - 6 children. C'mon, it's annoying.

For goodness sake, why shouldn't I support eugenics? Forced sterilization?

LOL, all these people with their meagre earnings can raise kids who will become millionaires.
In fact, it has happened and is still happening.

Were your grandparents rich & educated?

yetseyi:
It depends on how you see it.

I will protect my child for as long as I can, there are mistakes one will make that will change the course of that life for ever and the person wont be able to retrace his/her steps. I don't believe in this "make your mistakes and learn from them " statement I have seen that phrase twice today. I would rather ensure that my child doesn't make that mistake.

Its not even in this current situation of the country one won't protect his/her child, with what someone is reading on NL front page.


Most of the things we call over protectiveness now was normal some times ago.

This is the summary, I myself have had this exact thought.
What millennials now call overprotection was actually pretty standard way of upbringing in the 80s and early 90s.

Gerrard59:
Yes it can work. However, sentiments coupled with excessive religiousity are our problems. Imagine people on the triplets thread supporting the man for bringing innocent children to suffer?
Yet, when I proffer solutions, people say I'm proud.

You don't know that they will suffer

oloyede252:
what with you and Singapore.

Etinosajay:
Sorry jare. Nothing political. What you claimed wasn't true and I needed to correct that. But sorry for the language I used

I agreed with you Etinosa

metallisc:
.

LOL, why?

mapet:
Thank you for doing justice go the liar. I was about bursting his lies. If he/she indeed passed through Benin, he will not be asking the idiotic question or giving falsehood.........

Etinosajay:
Don't mind her. She rented one bedroom apartment at amagba and she thinks she's in GRA.

What can i say?
Politics really does divide us

saintmark88:
Dnt mind tht dude he just wants to wail, oshiomoles did very well with roads n his first tenure... Inshort all d good roads u have n Benin ryt now was done by him.... Edo State wore a new face wen he came in, his second term, well was below standard compared to what he did in his first term, buh atleast he is finishn well, completing these projects...... Ask dz guy to tell u how edo state was bfre oshiomole came in??

Like I read somewhere, politics is a major cause of blindness second only to religion.
My mom is from Benin and i could see the clear difference between my last visit earlier this year and my visit during the last administration under Esama's son.

Gerrard59:
Unfortunately, most Nigerians have a different of pride. I say it (the topic's title) to anyone who cares to hear. Hearing is the individual's prerogative.

Okay

The Nigerian mentality is a bad one and one which I don't like. However, when one gets proper education from the best schools, the effect is minimal. This I have seen. Madam, good/quality education anywhere is not CHEAP. Whether in Singapore, UK, US, Japan, South Africa. Just anywhere. It's not cheap. This is where the government needs to come in (improving public education), however, resources are scarce, corruption rife, plenty mouths to feed. How possible is it?

Sir you arent saying anything new that we haven't heard before, it is the usual talk and it is also part of the 'Nigerian mentality' you want to purge yourself of desperately.

It is in Nigeria that good/quality education is proportional with expensive schools, and do you know why? It's because we are used to categorizing ourselves into groups that differentiates us from one another so we can feel superior in some way:

If it isn't I live in the south and you are a Northerner, it is I live in Lagos and you live in Akwa Ibom. Even inside Lagos, it is I live on the island and you live on the mainland.
If it isn't I attend a private university and you attend a public university, it is I work for ExxonMobil and you are a civil servant. Etc.

About education, yes good education can be expensive but it's not ONLY expensive education that is good education.
Go take a look at the list of 10 most expensive universities in the world and compare that with the list of 10 best (research and educational quality) schools in the world, then count how many you see on both lists.

Someone who hasn't eaten properly wants to keep procreating because he "wants" a male child to carry the "name"?? No investments, proper training, right environment (for good upbringing) and you support the individual to keep procreating? Wow. He doesn't "like" the female gender because "she" cannot carry the name, but wants a male child - yet he cannot buy pampers for the baby he has now. This is my problem with leftism. Hopefully, you'd be there to take care of his potential "battalion". Can you please tell me, what's wrong in him undergoing a vasectomy?

Someone who you say hasn't eaten properly can afford to have a vasectomy of course. SMH

And no, i do not support people procreating without the required finances to cater to multiple children. What I am telling you is that you do not have the right to tell them to stop if they're not begging you to help train these kids.

I saw a place where you said you didn't offer assistance to someone or some family because they gave birth to children they can't cater for, well sir you are not the only one capable of rendering assistance to less privileged people. YOU DON'T WANT TO, OTHER PEOPLE WILL.

Because a book is on the internet - free to read - doesn't mean I should encourage piracy. If the book is free worldwide, I will read. However, I promote intellectual property and its gains. So I pay for it, and it didn't come cheap. At bolded, that's why e no better for democracy. As for the rest, your prerogative to say whatever you like. I knew from the onset that the thread will evoke emotions, but I had to do it.

Please stop, you are not conversing like a person who claims to be well educated.apologies, no offence intended.

You said good books are expensive, i said you can find that book you mentioned on the internet for FREE. You can also find millions of good books on the internet for free, and this kills your opinion.
Whether it was put there by pirates or the authors themselves is not the issue.
It's the same Nigerian mentality which equates 'expensive' to 'being better', that makes you say that.

Your thread may be noble in intent, but that's where it ends. You've not shown that you really understand what you're saying neither have you made cogent fail-proof submissions to back your opinions.
All you've done is tell us you have quality education and how this means you now have the solution to overpopulation as well as poverty. (and I have a feeling that this quality education you've been touting to have isn't even from Stanford, Cambridge, or MIT)

Probably going to say it was rigged like he's already doing. Other than this, I dont think he'll take it any more serious because this guy is just in it for the fun and attention he's getting.

That's wha' I think though.

Funny people

Abiagirl777:
I'd gladly support any law that punishes any family with more than two kids in Nigeria,unfortunstely our Northern elites will not allow it see the light of day.
Vices arising from uncared for children is pulling us 100 yes backward.

Such a law is more communist than democratic, even if the intent is noble.

I wager you won't support a Sharia law that punishes people who engage in premarital sex or punishes women for not covering the body properly. These are also very good laws with noble intent.
Are you seeing my point yet?

Hmmm

shigothang:
Oh! You confused ? You shouldn't ,ask more and I explain .
Tk cr.

Nah I'm not confused, not at all.

Gerrard59:
You call it pride, I term it confidence, I term it stating facts without being politically correct (which is damaging many nations today).

Your definition and interpretation of confidence needs some serious work.

Majority of Nigerians like things rubbed on their faces and that I will do. I say it to anyone's face. I know a senior Customs Officer, has four kids, they go to Fortune High School (another top school in the state). Am I against such an individual for procreating? No. Dude is intelligent, has investments everywhere, a strong and reliable network. Educate? That's what I'm doing, and on pro bono basis (something I rarely do, QUALITY education is expensive). Enjoyment? Take a stroll, take fruits, go to parks (every park in Uyo has free entry). However, what do they do there? Smoking, drinking recklessly and stvpidly and when kidney wahala comes, they'll go to a church instead of a urologist (which is expensive, back to my earlier point)

I have a feeling you aren't the CEO of any company yet and that you have a boss or bosses. Do you also say anything you want to say to their faces?

I assume you're a Nigerian, kindly tell me, will the average Nigerian hear things being told to them in a passive manner? No. I'm a Nigerian, however, I don't have the Nigerian mentality (which good education prevents and this costs money).

Spoken like a conceited individual who's full of it. You live in Nigeria or have lived in Nigeria for a considerable time, then the 'Nigerian mentality' is part of you whether you like it or not.

Equating 'good education' to the amount of money spent, IS A NIGERIAN MENTALITY.
You exposed yourself with this and many other points in your write-up.

Another reason most of them give birth to this high number of kids is to inherit a "name". I ask, what name? So because Mr Elumelu gave birth to 2 boys after having 5 girls, a cretin will do same?

Who is a cretin?

Lemme guess, a cretin would be someone who is not as wealthy as Mr Elumelu but wants to have children to inherit a name, because according to you, inheriting a name is all about inheriting wealth. This is what your quality education taught you.

Anyone who had read or reads the book "From Third World to First World" by Late Lee Kuan Yew (good books are expensive). He did same I'm proposing, where's Singapore today? Rich, solid infrastructure, clean (environment and governance), disciplined, strong work ethic etc.

LOL. You are a class act.

That book is on the internet for download free of charge. See I knew you were full of shyte once I finished reading your second post and I was surprised anyone would take you seriously.

Mark Zuckerberg, 5th richest man, married a doctor from Harvard, he too is from Harvard and he has ONLY a child. A billionaire has ONLY a child and a riff-raff somewhere down the road is planning for his 6th child? What about his then co-founder Eduardo Saverin? He married a data analyst from a top school in Asia and has two kids. That's another billionaire oh.

Billionaires may have fewer kids,but one thing they don't do is try to decide or regulate how many kids other people should have.

Apart from already seeing it in your first post, this is how anyone who is paying close attention can sense that you are from a middle-class family who probably didn't start out as middle-class, no offense.

This social class of people usually have the biggest mouth and grandest opinions because they feel they have arrived, no offence again.

For the records, I'm not against people giving birth rather I'm against POOR people procreating ditto un-intelligent humans. If you're poor, please for the good of the society and yourself, don't give birth. If you're not brilliant, intelligent, smart and knowledgeable, do yourself good by not giving birth. Finally, earnestly pray I don't enter government.

Poor people procreate and give birth to ONLY unintelligent humans(children) while rich people don't.
Only 'quality and expensive education' can make someone think like this.

Don't bother about entering government Sir, what we have is a democracy and only you cannot make laws without other people gathering around to discuss and contemplate it before approving it. It's very possible you weren't taught this.

PresVA:
what Op doesn't know is that a richer person could also categorize him as "poor"... in other words, he shouldn't birth kids too

That's the thing with people who are very conceited but don't even realize it.
No matter how privileged a person thinks he or she is,there are always people around (even in the same neighborhood) who have it better and if these people want to play this same card of looking down, then the OP and anyone with such a faulty way of thinking will also be considered poor by higher standards.

My mom always told me no matter where you are in life or what you think you have achieved, always remember that there are other persons out there who have achieved more and are higher socially or financially. Remember this and you will remember humilty

shigothang:
Ddont get it twistd dear. Our souls exist before we are born. They all struggles to live on earth ,as in struggling for existence. Once w are born ,we ve already choosen a bosy to live in . That's why when we are done on earth, the bosy will rotten,while the souls still lives.


During the judgement day ,there won't be a case of family representation but each souls will accounts for his/her mission on earth, no parents or sibling reepresentation, we only came through them and must have a body to identify with,with physical appearance of those whom we use their path to exist.

I don't even know what to say no more

FabioPeter:
Majority of the roads aren't vehicle worthy. There is hardly anyone living in Benin who isn't lamenting the poor state of roads.

Yea,i guess I didn't get to those places

KillerBeauty:
The road leading to the hospital is very good. Maybe because its in the center of the city
But most roads in Benin are in terrible state. I know because I live there. GRA is nothing to write home about. In fact, benin Doesn't even have GRA.

Which part of GRA do you live?cos I lodged somewhere around golf course road on my last visit and the area was impressive.
I also know ihama, boundary, and some other parts of GRA have accessible roads.
