You right on china hiding things also the same way i feel when they said trump result was negetive while everybody else was positive including all those is it Brazilians or argentin that shook hand with him

i watched Trumps live address, he didnt look sick, doesnt mean that he has the antidote stacked somewhere, he doesnt need this big scandal to win election, Democrats are undoing themselves in the primaries. all evidence points to china, America's economy is going down, Trump is a business man a successful one, i see no point in bringing down the economy

Keemsleek005:
You got another twist to the story nice theory. China needed something to hold on to as laverage to hold the world blokos and it back fired ok accepted. Then how could someone be able to know the time frame such problem will last if he know nothing about it. Someone just said its all for show americans doesnt have any vaccine. If ypu beat me on these twisting game i will call you prof and hail ovie56 for a week sir.

Like i said it's all conspiracy theories, it's only people who are in the corridors of power that knows whats up, but the attitude of china concerning releasing information on it is shady, as for Trump's estimation, it is based on how successful they are in slowing the spread nothing more than an estimation. China should told the world earlier but they didnt, im thinking they're complicit.

Keemsleek005:
Interesting how come the Chinese have not even been able to produce a vaccine when it started from there and the americans that later got infected much later already found and already testing it only on american citizen is that not also a political gimmick by republicals to win peoples vote for saying the president carries about his citizen.. Trump already accusing china for the mase in china virus is that not also a plan to crumble the ecomony power of �� china and push them back abit, were is other European countries band from entering America but England is not band. Why is russia america dubious election rigger coming out now to say it can handle the virus break. Let me ask medical wish btw America and china who is more advanced? And i noticed most of the drugs imported into nigeria are either from china or india and i also read india import most of thier drug component from china. So if china virology could not develop a vaccine since how come the american could under such short period also remeber the fomer inec chairman prod iwu if am right got his drug testes by the Americans nothing was heard again. Lol let keep the theories coming in.

Have you listened to Trump lately, he said that the Virus is not in check anywhere, that they're not in control, and he's expecting the pandemic to go on till july or August, does that sound like someone who has a way out of it already, China sealed off the area and banish all jounalist and you think they don't have something to hide? their Virology is just a few distance away from where the Virus started im thinking it escaped from their ahead of their schedule , before they could develop an antidote to make it a proper weapon.

Keemsleek005:
What about the pay check been given out to the citizen? Stoping of taxes is that not also a form of incentive for motivation to make people see republican as a party to vote for? He dey sweet me let the theories start. You said your have taken it from another point of view. Await your reply.

Those are necessities in present conditions, America is purely capitalism, and they rely so much on taxes forfeiting it will most likely kill the economy plus after the whole Democrat impeachment scam i doubt trump will want another scandal, election is vital to american democracy which they all believe in whether democrat or replublican, and i also cant get past the fact that china's virology is in wuhan not far from the place where this thing started

JuanDeDios:
And what is convincing you with each passing day? A billionaire donating kits to fight it?

i have no problem with a wonderful human donating to a good cause, what i have problem with is this virus has brought down the world economy, even America is expecting recession

Keemsleek005:
As much as i dont believe in assumption, i feel its all about the vaccine. Just read American as got a vaccine for it, they calles it epidemic so everybody as to take the vaccine for prevention. That why i said these is more of a chinese disease, its a well layed down plan by the americans, let it start from thier worst enemy china who brags too much on world stage. Compensate thier citizens, release the vaccine, the whole world key into, after destroy ing china stock market and europe trading. Keeping the world on thier knees. I don watch too much movies.my opinion thou.

No way it is was released by America, with their election fast approaching, no way.
the shady banishing of journalist in the affected part of China and Hongkong speaks volume, the chinese did this.

ceejayluv:
If it was a "weapon" , then it's totally lousy... What kinda weapon kills a mere 3 percent of targets.. and mostly the elderly at that. ?

i don't believe it was released to kill in large numbers, i believe it was targetted at world economy, some countries powers of recovery are stronger than others

Ok, normally i'd be the one to dismiss all these conspiracy theories, but with each passing day im starting to believe that Covid-19 is a weapon released earlier than it was meant to be released and it was targetted at world economy.

sapientia:
Sir once a King.

I don't envy any Royal Father that is determined by the Governor.

He was a full citizen of this country with rights before being appointed as Emir, those rights are fundamental, being dethroned is not a criminal offence, hence no reason why his freedom should be trampled upon.

sapientia:
Is a king ever free?

only that he's no longer a king.

sapientia:
Sanusi wants to eat his cake and have it.

He was expecting to die an Emir without knowing this will happen.

Ganduje's action is a big blow to traditional institutions but this Sanusi's suit will bury everything.

Some things comes naturally when staff of office is taken away from a king either voluntarily or force.

His banishment was to protect the Emirate but this his suit will finally show that an Emir is a common man.

This issue should have been settled after few weeks with just diplomacy after all, Dangote always plead on his behalf.

But what do I know.

Have you ever been held against your wish? you think freedom is a joke abi?

put a SIM inside and dial the number to see if the phone is truly powering on, it happened to me was using a Samsung s5 back then, the screen just went off I thought it was one technical issue so I removed the battery and I rebooted the phone, when I got same result I called the number and it rang it was then I dawned on me that the screen is dead and the phone didn't even fall from my hand.

is this the end of all things?

A thread was created to enlighten the public about a particular brand you are asking whether have an internet, is that how to promote a brand?

Really, I must've missed the part where I was hired to promote the brand, but if you want me to no problem just email me.

What is the specifications?

you do have internet, don't you?

Yes many Nigerians are crazy over phones however they consider their pocket when making decision.

Realme phones will sell very well in Nigerian market, take the realme x for example it's cheaper than most phones that has it's kind of spec

Realme is not in Nigeria, if they were their Realme x will sell like mad.

As a born again Christian who is meant to speak the truth at all times, i think the only solution to these clashes is for all states to accept the proposed Ruga settlements for herdsmen and watch peace reign. Instead of setting up regional security outfit like Amotekun and forest guards, why can't we Christians states especially be tolerant and live in peace with our neighbors? Infact, we Christians disown Amotekun and Enugu forest guards. We are all Nigerians and we have equal rights in every part of the country.


Instead of blaming every tragedy on our Muslim brothers, why can't we Christians dialogue for peace sake? Recently a Christian suicide bomber was caught in the church and we quickly rejected him to be a Christian but if he were to be a Muslim we would call all Muslims terrorists just because of the actions of one man. We Christians have a lot of lessons to learn from our Muslim brothers. Honestly

Surely I for on will forever respect what Roger brought to Tennis between 2004-2010..Man was virtually unplayable...

When Djokovic was still suffering from Gluten allergy, and the rest of the tour is in shambles, they've been using age excuse for him for the past 10 years, baba has been old since 2010 that Djokovic found him out.

Fun fact Roger Federer last beat Djokovic at Australia open in Jan 2007 it's been 13 years since
Happy anniversary

Where we expecting anything different, it was a dead call from the start, u don't expect republican to vote against there's, it can never happen

I think it served its purpose, they needed something on him for the upcoming elections, no sane human being believed they'll be able to remove him from office.

The Senate acquitted President Trump on Wednesday of charges that he abused his power and obstructed Congress, as Republicans turned back an election-year attempt by House Democrats to remove him from office for pressuring a foreign power to incriminate his political rivals.

The tally for conviction fell far below the 67-vote threshold necessary for removal and neither article of impeachment garnered even a simple majority. The first article, abuse of power, was rejected 48 to 52, and the second, obstruction of Congress, was defeated 47 to 53. Senator Mitt Romney, Republican of Utah, was the only member to break with his party, voting to remove Mr. Trump from office.

The votes, ending the third presidential impeachment trial in American history, were a resounding victory for Mr. Trump after five months of blaring scandal over Ukraine that embroiled Washington and threatened his presidency. But both sides agreed that the final judgment on Mr. Trump will be rendered by voters when they cast ballots in just nine months.

Romney Says He Will Vote to Convict Trump
During a statement to his colleagues, Senator Mitt Romney said he would vote to convict President Trump of abuse of power, becoming the first Republican to break party ranks.
In the last several weeks I’ve received numerous calls and texts. Many demanded in their words that I stand with the team. I can assure you that thought has been very much on my mind. You see, I support a great deal of what the president has done. I’ve voted with him 80 percent of the time. But my promise before God to apply impartial justice required that I put my personal feelings and political biases aside. Were I to ignore the evidence that has been presented and disregard what I believe my oath and the Constitution demands of me, for the sake of a partisan end, it would, I fear, expose my character to history’s rebuke and the censure of my own conscience. I take an oath before God as enormously consequential. I knew from the outset that being tasked with judging the president, the leader of my own party, would be the most difficult decision I have ever faced. I was not wrong. So the verdict is ours to render under our Constitution. The people will judge us for how well and faithfully we fulfill our duty. The grave question the Constitution tasks senators to answer is whether the president committed an act so extreme and egregious that it rises to the level of a high crime and misdemeanor. Yes, he did.

Senator Mitt Romney of Utah voted to convict President Trump on one of the two impeachment charges, making him the only Republican to support removing Mr. Trump from office.

Mr. Romney said in an interview that he would vote against the second article of impeachment, obstruction of Congress, arguing that House Democrats had failed to exhaust their legal options for securing testimony and other evidence.

But he said that Democrats had proven their first charge, that the president had misused his office in a bid to pressure Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. for political reasons.

Speaking slowly and at times haltingly from the Senate floor before the vote, Mr. Romney, who appeared to choke up at the beginning of his speech, said that his decision was made out of an “inescapable conviction that my oath before God demanded it.” He said Mr. Trump was “guilty of an appalling abuse of public trust.”

Notwithstanding Mr. Romney’s position, the Senate acquit Mr. Trump of both impeachment charges. But the defection of Mr. Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, is a dramatic capstone on the evolution of a party that has thoroughly succumbed to the vise-grip of Mr. Trump.

Mr. Romney, who has been critical of Mr. Trump at various points since 2016, said he was acutely aware that he would suffer serious political ramifications for his decision, particularly in light of the strict loyalty the president has come to expect from elected officials of his own party. No House Republican voted to impeach Mr. Trump in December. (Representative Justin Amash, a former Republican of Michigan who fled the party over his differences with Mr. Trump, voted in favor of both articles.)

“I recognize there is going to be enormous consequences for having reached this conclusion,” Mr. Romney said. “Unimaginable” is how he described what might be in store for him.

The pushback from Mr. Trump’s camp started quickly. “Mitt Romney is forever bitter that he will never be POTUS. He was too weak to beat the Democrats then so he’s joining them now. He’s now officially a member of the resistance & should be expelled from the @GOP,” Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, wrote on Twitter.

House Democrats are ‘likely’ to subpoena John Bolton after the impeachment trial ends.

Just because it is over does not mean it is actually be over. Hours before the expected Senate vote ending President Trump’s trial, a senior House Democrat indicated that he will continue the investigation on his side of the Capitol, starting with a subpoena for John R. Bolton, the president’s former national security adviser.

Representative Jerrold Nadler, Democrat of New York and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, told reporters that he would “likely” subpoena Mr. Bolton, who has confirmed in an unpublished book that Mr. Trump conditioned security aid on Ukraine’s willingness to investigate the president’s Democratic rivals, the central allegation in the trial.

“I think it’s likely, yes,” said Mr. Nadler, one of the seven House managers prosecuting the charges against Mr. Trump. “When you have a lawless president, you have to bring that to the fore, you have to spotlight that, you have to protect the Constitution despite the political consequences.”

The House asked Mr. Bolton to testify before the December impeachment vote, but he did not agree and Democrats opted not to subpoena him because it could result in a lengthy court fight. When the articles of impeachment reached the Senate, however, Mr. Bolton publicly said he would comply with a Senate subpoena and testify if called. But Senate Republicans rushed to block any new evidence from being considered, and succeeded last week in holding together enough votes to beat back a bid by Democrats to seek new testimony and documents.

It was not clear whether Mr. Bolton would be willing to comply with a subpoena without a court fight if issued by the House outside the context of an impeachment trial. A spokeswoman for Mr. Bolton had no comment on Wednesday. Even if he did, Mr. Trump could assert executive privilege to try to block his testimony, provoking the legal battle Democrats hoped to avoid.

Doug Jones, who was seen as a possible Democratic defector, ‘reluctantly’ decides to vote to convict Trump.
Senator Doug Jones, Democrat of Alabama, announced Wednesday that he planned to vote to convict President Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, joining his Democratic colleagues in support of Mr. Trump’s removal.



Continue reading the main story
Mr. Jones, a moderate who is facing re-election in a state the president won in 2016 by nearly 28 points, was regarded as one of the few Democrats who might break with his party and support an acquittal of the president. But on Wednesday, hours before the vote, he dashed that speculation.

“After many sleepless nights, I have reluctantly concluded that the evidence is sufficient to convict the president for both abuse of power and obstruction of Congress,” he said in a statement.

All eyes on Wednesday afternoon will be on a few moderate senators — two other Democrats and one Republican who might cross party lines on the verdict. Mr. Trump would love nothing more than to be able to trumpet a bipartisan acquittal. He has made it clear that he will not tolerate any Republican defections, hoping for monolithic opposition from his party just as he had when the House voted late last year to impeach him.

Senator Joe Manchin III, Democrat of West Virginia, has left the door open to acquittal but declined to say how he would vote. Mr. Manchin earlier in the week floated the idea of censuring the president, a largely symbolic gesture, but the idea has gained no traction in the polarized Senate. Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, another moderate Democrat, is also seen as a wild card.

Republicans are watching how Senator Mitt Romney of Utah will vote. He has criticized Mr. Trump’s dealings with Ukraine, and was one of only two Republican senators to vote with Democrats in an unsuccessful bid to consider hearing from additional witnesses and evidence in the trial. (The other was Senator Susan Collins of Maine, who said Tuesday that she would vote to acquit Mr. Trump.)

Trump avoided impeachment in his State of the Union address, but he may have his say after the votes.
Delivering an address from the rostrum of the House of Representatives that frequently sounded like a campaign stump speech, Mr. Trump nonetheless steered clear during his State of the Union address on Tuesday night of mentioning his impeachment trial.

That was a departure from last year, when Mr. Trump upbraided the House for what he called “ridiculous partisan investigations” and declared: “If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation.”



Continue reading the main story
It is not clear if the restraint will hold on Wednesday, after the Senate’s expected votes to acquit him. Mr. Trump told television anchors at a lunch on Tuesday at the White House that he hoped to give a second set of remarks after the impeachment saga had ended.

Mr. Trump would like to hold a news conference or give a short statement. But most of his advisers have been urging him against it, wanting to ease pressure on senators for whom the vote was politically difficult.

‘It’s my hope we’ve finally found bottom.’ Senators lament a broken institution.
Normally a staid body, the Senate for the past two weeks has been roiled day after day by the impeachment trial, leaving several senators dejected and dug into their partisan corners.



Continue reading the main story
Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, said in a speech on the Senate floor that the chamber “should be ashamed by the rank partisanship that has been on display here,” adding later: “It’s my hope that we’ve finally found bottom here.” She said she planned to acquit Mr. Trump.

Mr. Trump’s likely acquittal has also left Democrats embittered about the future of the institution in which they serve. Senator Tim Kaine, Democrat of Virginia, said that while he wasn’t surprised by Mr. Trump’s abuse of power, he was surprised by the Senate’s “capitulation” to the president.

“Unchallenged evil spreads like a virus,” Mr. Kaine said Tuesday on the Senate floor. “We have allowed a toxic President to infect the Senate and warp its behavior.”

So where does that leave the Senate? Other senators sounded a more optimistic note.

“I think we heal in part by surprising the people and coming out from our partisan corners and getting stuff done,” Senator Rob Portman, Republican of Ohio, said, citing addressing the opioid crisis and crumbling infrastructure as examples. “Stuff that they care about that affects the families we were sent here to represent.”
