peterphd:Again , thanks much for proving my point that Donald Trump validates deplorables who think that sexual assault is a liberal conspiracy phrase. Pathetic. |
benjibabs:I wanted you to list Hilary Clinton's crimes, not Obama's primary campaign rhetorics from 2008. |
benjibabs:No one is an Angel, certainly no politician. Hilary Clinton is certainly no angel, but , like Obama said. I cannot think anyone in the present political arena more qualified and able to be President of the United States than Hilary Clinton. It's actually embarrassing to ask me to choose between Clinton and Trump. They are not in the same class by any stretch. Hilary Clinton is the most investigated and politically persecuted person in the United States, yet , despite all the innuendos, there have zero crime attributed to her in her long career in public service. If you can do us a favor by publishing the list of Hilary Clinton's crimes. I hope you know the meaning of crime. And please, stick to FACTS, because I am allergic to innuendos. |
greatgolis90:Trump has NO agenda. Period. ![]() He is simply using his ego to entertain little minded folks. Now, back to reality. Donald Trump is poised to suffer the most humiliating landslide defeat in American history. |
peterphd:He is not contesting to be President. A point that eludes you. The beauty of the Democratic system is that it acts, it should always be like a sieve that separates the exceptionally virtuous from the ordinary or villain. That is essentially what the contest is about. The application of common sense( not sentiments) is supposed to guide the public to THE better candidate. |

Lucasbalo:Isn't it just sadly ironic that where ever you see discrimination and denial of rights, you will see evangelicals cheering on ? ![]() And these are supposed to be the followers of Jesus who supposedly enjoined his followers to love and treat others as they would like to be treated ? ![]() There is nothing more Anti- Christ than evangelical Christianity. My opinion. |
ycat:This is where I see both delusions , dishonesty and schizophrenia. " Conservative values" is an oxymoron. What exactly is conservative about Trump ? A man who makes money running a casino, a gambling enterprise, a house of bawdy and moral inequities. What is conservative about that ? Hilary Clinton is ten times more conservative than Donald Trump. You people should be at least honest and admit that you like Donald Trump because of the sheer amount of HATE he exudes. Simple. |
benjibabs:No. I am not a fan of CNN. And yes, democratic elections are , by their nature , often choices between a rock and hard place, between common sense and emotional sentiments. Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump are like day and night. One, with a history, along history of service to the public, an optimist, a uniter and embracer of all, and most importantly, a dogged fighter for the ordinary folk. The other, a self serving, self-seeking, narcissist, who proudly and boastfully games the ordinary folks, games the system for every personal advantage he can get. It's a very very clear choice. Just like Nigeria in 2015, the people , the simple minded ordinary folks are being duped into believing that there is a CHANGE, a heaven waiting for them under a Trump presidency. What a hopeless delusion. |
soludo93:You're an illiterate. The fact that you are personally attacking me whom you know Zero about shows you as just one of the low self-esteem deplorables that Trump attracts. That's why I say empty vessels make the most noise. Just look at the noise you're making , showcasing your ignorance of business and financial matters. I am quite sure that you're incapable of reading a financial statement. Imagine the sheer stupidity of advertising the loss of $916m as a monumental achievement that I could never match. That statement alone speaks volumes about your IQ. For your information, the name Trump you see on buildings is a Brand Name that he licenses( probably his only business success). It does not mean that he owns or built the buildings. When he puts " Trump " on businesses, it doesn't mean that he owns the businesses , you simpleton. ![]() He is conman who stiffs his real estate investors. All the buildings you mentioned as Trump's are all embroiled in litigations over financial losses passed on to his investors. Like I repeated Warren Buffet's words , a monkey gifted with $14m in 1976 would have done much much Better than Trump in turns of multiplying wealth. And the monkey would have done it all without stiffing a load of angry investors and 3,500 lawsuits. There is nothing good that I seen in Trump that qualifies him to be President of the United States. |
FelixCulpa:Not surprised at the disjointed babbles that accompany the support of Trump. Plebeians, yes , the unthinking masses are always dissatisfied with the political establishment. Part of the reason is that during elections, like we today, plebeians, as unthinking as they are, throw out common sense and vote with their emotions. Emotions are the last things you need where when choosing a leader. Now, demagogues like Trump know this, and they whip up and milk every negative emotion they can out of mindless plebeians to offer them the illusion of CHANGE for the better. Does Nigeria 2015 ring a bell? Just like Buhari, the plebeians are not asking nor bothering about the lack of concrete vision and Blueprint for change. They are seduced by the carefully molded words, soundbytes and platitudes. |
Orikinla:I wonder about the people that want to bring a sick and deranged narcissist to the white House. He is an equal opportunity employer because his ass would be sued if he wasn't. He has a history, a documented history racial discrimination against blacks in his former housing projects in New York city. Funny that all this support he getting from the fringe Christian groups is supposed to be about God. Nothing is more hilarious than Donald Trump as poster boy for upholding Christian values. Once again, Christian values have gone completely SCHIZOPHRENIC. ![]() |
nnokwa042:Thank you for helping me prove my point. It's all about hate. Isn't it ? You want America to elect to the highest and most powerful office in the world, a narcissist who exhudes hate ? ![]() Na wa. |
abbey621:Hilary Clinton , even if those allegations are true, defended her marriage, her household and her family as any smart woman should. I have no doubts that she was ashamed of her husband's infidelity, forgave him ( the Christian thing to do ?), and moved on to strengthen her family. It was her choice to make, and it took courage and perseverance, thoughtfulness and a forgiving heart , ..qualities that most people wish they had. Simple. You that openly support an unrepentant adulterer and boastful sexual predator definitely fall very very short of Hilary Clinton's moral loftiness. |
soludo93:Lol. Spoken like an empty vessel. First rule: Really rich , successful people don't make a lot of noise. You can tell how empty a vessel is by the amount of noise it makes. How rich is Trump ? His tax returns would tell us, wouldn't it ? In the exact words of Warren Buffet, if you had given a monkey $14m in 1976, and all the monkey had to do was randomly pick and buy any stocks on the NYSE, that monkey would be richer than Donald Trump today. Surprise surprise !! ![]() Kindly list any successful business that Donald Trump has ever run or is currently running. Donald operates the equivalent of Ponzi schemes with his real estate investments, that have left many many investors holding the bag over the last several decades. A man that has been sued 3,500 times by disgruntled and cheated investors is not only a bad businessman, but a cheat that GAMES people and the system. Now, if that makes him smart in your moral universe, then I guess I won't dispute that. A man who boats about sexually assaulting women, even married women is Certainly an excellent role model in your morally schizophrenic Christian universe. |
ycat:Pls don't insult us with your schizophrenic morality. My morals are 1000 times better than Donald Trump's. Simple. For anyone who supports a racist, misogynist adulterer as President, I would have to wonder where you get your own morals from. Just admit it, and I will respect you a little for it. You like Donald Trump because you are attracted to the HATE that he exudes. He tends to validate the tendencies of your inner Psyche. Simple. |
Joshthefirst:Lol@ Joshthefirst. As usual, much babble, little sense. ![]() |
Omg. ![]() See the olodo we have as an attorney general. ![]() Rule of law 101: All are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. It is not, and should not be the other way around in this upside down country. |
kingcity:Laughing out loud. |
WORLDPEACE:It wasn't my business to probe him. We are tight friends for a long time because we keep religion out of our friendship. My discussions with the children had absolutely nothing to do with religion, but on the innocent curiosity of children. If my atheistic worldview was a factor in his reaction, then it still dovetails with my point that religious beliefs tend to snuff out scientific curiosity. |
WORLDPEACE:Most religious people, Abrahamic religions, think that scientific curiosity and exploration, robs their God of his mystery and majesty. The more we demystify the universe, the less the need for superstitions and myths to fill in the gaps. Therefore, my friend's reaction was just probably a programmed knee-jerk reaction. I see that type of reaction all the time. |
Genesis2000:And I am also a living testimony. I have been giving religion and the imaginary skydaddy my middle finger for a very long time, and I face my ups and downs myself. I Carry no mental luggages, no yokes and certainly don't owe anyone my incomes or any part thereof. @op You can still fulfill your pledge. Give a portion of your money to someone, anyone who really needs it as much as you do. Giving to God is not and should never be equivalent to giving to church or giving to pastor. The Fraud pastorprenuers twist and conflate the idea of giving to God and giving to them as one and the same. Nothing could be further from the truth. |
peterphd:It's quite silly, and I must say , disingenuous to say that America has a problem with " immigrant Latinos and Muslims" . And this is exactly my point. That Donald Trump plays to the gallery of the lunacy fringes that have bigotry and hate as their primary currencies. How dare you say that America has problems with " immigrant Latinos and Muslims" . Can you kindly elaborate on these problems that America has with immigrant Latinos and Muslims ? Please? And America has problems with blacks too, right ? And women too, right ? Everything you wrote above is exactly my point. He appeals to the deplorables, the finger pointers, the blamers, the paranoid, the haters. |
Donald Trump is a racist, bigoted, narcissistic, misogynistic, bombastic brute. There are absolutely no disputes about the above statement. Donald Trump is a poster boy of for all the negative and destructive attributes of the human psyche. Donald Trump is a billionaire(?) Playboy, a hedonist with two adultery instigated divorces behind him. He is a tax cheat, a business conman with 3500 lawsuits against him and a strings of business failures and bankruptcies. Donald Trump is the archetype of THE MAN that really really sticks it to the ordinary people. Today, Donald Trump is symbol, a champion of American and African evangelical Christians. I have asked my evangelical friends to point out what is remotely Christian about Donald Trump, and by Christian I mean the gospel of Jesus. I have never heard of Donald Trump attending a church, or being a member of any church or denomination. In Christian tradition, Donald should qualify as an advocate for Satan, having in his possession, all the qualities and tendencies. Donald Trump is the chosen candidate of American and African evangelicals and many other lunacy fringes groups for one simple reason: He exudes Hate on a very large scale. He hates Moslems, he hates Latinos, he hates Blacks, he despises and disparages Africans, he mocks and disparages women. [s]He appears to be playing by the book, the good book, the Bible.[/s]

^ ^ Going back to my reference to the international Space Station(ISS), I have another story worth telling. Sometime ago this year, I visited very good old friend's house. Being the kindred spirit that I am, his two young kids took to me instantly. I was happy with their energy and curiosity. They bombarded with questions one after the other about science and nature. We eventually got around to the International Space Station. They had never heard of it before. I took the cue to tell them all about, showed them the amazing pictures with smartphone. In fact, I went a step further by showing them a live feed from the ISS on a smartphone app. The excitements on their faces was simply priceless. Then the father walked in, they ran to him to show him what they just discovered. Guess what he did ? He scoffed, scolded and told them to stop that nonsense. I was shocked, but not too shocked. He is a Jehovah's Witness. Just Imagine the healthy curiosity of millions of Nigerian children, Nigeria's future, shot down and relegated every single day by middle East stone age bullshytes. ![]() |
I have asked myself many many times why I loathe religion, the Abrahamic religions so much. I ask myself this question quite often because the last thing I want to become is bigot, to be the very thing that I loathe so much. And it comes to this. In the course of my life, I have interacted with people from many many different nationalities, in school, at work, in business, and in social settings, with different cultures and religious worldviews. A popular belief among Caucasians and Asians are that Blacks have lower cranial dexterity. As a black person, we do all we can to dispel this idea that we are not as smart as everyone else. However, our affinity for fables, superstition and stone age nonsense is a monumental embarrassment to those who work hard to show that Blacks have as much cranial dexterity as everyone other race. The other day at an event, I overheard two gentlemen talking seriously about a conference. I crashed in on the conversation, curious to know whether they talking about an economic conference, business conference or whatever was of interest. They were talking about a Bible conference. Imagine the disappointment in my face. It was like cold water was poured on my curiosity and excitement. There, I began to ask myself again, why does religion, middle East religion of 2000yrs ago, occupy sooooo much of the African mind ? ![]() The truth is that I have never in my life experiences, walked in on non-Africans( Nigerians) having a serious discussion about religion, the Bible, God etc. These issues only come up when , out of curiosity, I introduce the topic. What is the allure of " the supernatural" and hand-me-down tokumbo religions to Africans ? ![]() In a typical social setting, try to gather some Nigerians to discuss, for good example , the international space station, or the discovery of new planets and stars. You would likely receive scoffs, mockery of the " white man's" attempt to usurp god. I try seriously to understand the psychology of religion, as it relates to the African mind. Is it our poor educational standards? Is it a deliberately planted TROJAN HORSE by the cunning Europeans ? Is it just an accident of history that religious superstitions just happened to be a convenient and timely SUBSTITUTE for our own discredited cultural superstitions? Or, Is it actually true that Blacks are mentally lazy, and hardwired for simple superstitions that do not involve the rigors of empirical investigations ? Religion, for me, tends to confirm the stereotype that Africans are mentally lazy, hence the deep attachments , and serious pre-occupation with silly beliefs that add ZERO values to our lives, our SOCIETIES, our future. This why I see people like Adeboye, Oyedepo, Oyaks and the many many hordes of them as purveyors of WEAPONS OF MIND DESTRUCTION ( WMD). |
KingEbukasBlog:Thanks for the correction. I missed the date part. But, the information is still very vague. The name of the village would no doubt help in authenticating the report. An event like that would certainly have a national significance that wouldn't go unnoticed by the newspapers and other media. Where are the " highly documented " reports for our own edification ? It's too hollow, and naturally, would appeal to people of faith. No surprise. |
winner01:It's not even worth engaging in any kind of debate on this rubbish, for several reasons. 1. Give us the reference or link to the actual publication where the so-called Prof Grindal made these claims. 2. Secondly, the article NEVER mentioned a DATE and actual LOCATION where the event supposedly occurred, .. information that would have been critical in investigating the accuracy of his story. 3. If such a monumental event occurred anywhere in the world, newspaper headlines would have been available to confirm such. This is much too childish to deserve a debate or discussion of any type . |
krendo:A candidate that could not come out in a debate to articulate his vision. Wow. We really messed up. |
Dannyfaraday:Bullshyte. Admitting that we are a sick people in a sick nation would actually be the first step towards an eventual redemption, if at all possible. |
krendo:Very harsh, but unfortunately, very true. A country that elected this Dinosaur as president ought to seriously do some deep soul searching. We are sick, and our leaders are only a reflection of how very sick we are. |
