Stop saying balderdash and go and get informed imagine asking me how he sided with Russia over American intelligence when it is all over the news nobody is asking you about China.

What you are saying is that Trump committed Treason. And everything you rely on for that is because "it is all over the news". Why then was he impeached for something not remotely connected to that? Do you know what it means to side with foreign country against American intelligence?

Listen, "all over the news" is not synonymous with credibility. Try and understand these things, my friend.

Is there anyway one can talk about Donald Trump’s presidency without mentioning China, which undoubtedly, was the focal point of his foreign policy? Or is it because it is not part of the indoctrination agenda of the leftist news media, which you readily gulp down?

Imagine what would have been the leftist media's reactions if it was Russia that was implicated in the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump clearly wanted to withdraw from NATO he said it himself during his campaigns, it's never about funding but to weaken American allies, he withheld military aid to Ukraine, who does this all help? Biden used Nord stream 2 to cut a deal for Ukraine go and read about it

Can you read what you wrote? It's becoming clearer that your ability to read is overshadowed by your inability to understand what you read.

Biden cut a deal with Nord Stream 2 for Ukraine? To do what? The project itself was Russia's attempt to bypass Ukraine in supply of gas to Europe directly in order to punish Ukraine economically. The gas pipeline does not pass through Ukraine. How would the deal have helped Ukraine? Does is make any sense to you? If you were the Ukrainian president, would that have sounded reasonable to you?

So how has that deal assisted Ukraine now? Where has it left Ukraine? The same Biden has taken flight and left Ukraine in limbo, hiding under ineffective sanctions at the expense of thousands of innocent people's lives.

Most of what you claim to be reading are mere leftist media indoctrination targeted at people who do not know their left from their right, like you. The whole allegation of withholding military fund to Ukraine was the handiwork of Nancy Pelosi led Congress' search for credibility for their highly partisan impeachment exercise. These are what American politicians do to smear each other. The Ukrainian president held a press conference to debunk the allegation then.

Joe Biden himself was similarly accused, by the right-wing operatives of using his offices to stop a $1b transfer to Ukraine until that country removed an official of a company where his son, Hunter, had an interest during his time as vice president.

You have at least passed the rudimentary test of reading, which is commendable, at least. But it is not enough to be gulping down just anything in the name of reading. You also need the ability to understand what you read and then the critical thinking skill to make sound judgment. That is the next for you. You can do it if you apply your mind to it.

Trump was Russia's puppet who sided with Russia over American intelligence agencies you lots should stop hyping Trump he was clueless and if he were in power Russia would have already annexed the whole of Ukraine because he was doing Putin's job for him who in his right senses praises a dictator and you don't think the man has something on him.
Trump was a clown who was rightly removed from office

How did he side with Russia over American intelligence agencies? Even the most audacious leftwing operative would find this assertion outlandish.

Your postulation has no basis in fact and simple logic. Russia simply did not make any trouble with Ukraine until Trump left. The two successful invasions of Ukraine by Vladimir Putin have happened under some sissy leftwing leaders (one under Obama and the latest under Biden). So how could they have annexed the whole of Ukraine if he was there.

Trump just didn't consider Russia as important in his foreign policy as much as China. Like any other sane human being would do to a nuclear armed country with a determined leader with an extreme will and bloated ego like Putin, Donald Trump felt if you pay less attention to Russia, your capacity to do battle with the more important China would be enhanced.

China was the more wealthier and determined to upstage the USA, and has been doing so for decades. China was the one that he considered an existential threat. USSR was already decapitated. Putin's attempt to resuscitate it has more chance to fail than succeed. What purpose would it serve to be urging Ukraine to join NATO?

China was the bigger threat to the US economy than Russia. They were the ones manipulating their currency and trying to weaken the dollar (arguably the single most important American influence on the world economy). They are directly or indirectly a threat to the American middle class jobs and so on.

How do you confront your master? have you seen Trump's recent comments on Putin? most of you don't know what's going on, do you realize Trump withheld military aid to Ukraine as president and wanted NATO disbanded

That is false.

It is hubris to think you are the only person who knows what is going on. A lot of people just don't want to regurgitate extreme leftwing indoctrination. Many people just want to think for themselves freely without falling under the woke yoke.

Trump said clearly and unambiguously that Europe should bear a part of the cost of funding NATO, which is being heavily borne by America while European countries used their money for socialism.

Trump told them in unambiguous terms that they should be more responsible for their own security. Most of the NATO countries were not contributing up to 2% of their national budget on securing themselves.

Donald Trump simply told them what a normal responsible person would tell a leech, I.e. to be more responsible. And he didn't say it in secret, he told them openly in the public glare.

Meanwhile, it is on record that Trump sanctioned the Nord Stream 2 gas project during his presidency. The project is a major Russian infrastructure to supply Europe/Germany with gas.

It is on record that Biden immediately undid the sanction when he came.

Is it by photos?

You could get any type of footage you want in several moments of people's meeting depending on your agenda.

Nevertheless, it is on record that Vladimir Putin annexed Crimea in 2014 under Barrack Obama and Joe Biden’s full watch, probably aided by Obama's administration after what was revealed in a hot mic session during Obama Medvedev's meeting at the White House.

Obama told the visiting Temporary Russian President, Dmitry Medvedev, then in 2012 that he should tell Putin to relax, that he didn't have the political leverage at that time, but as soon as he secure his second term, he would have more flexibility.

And true to those words, Russia unilaterally entered Ukraine in 2014 and annexed Crimea, while Obama looked away, only to come up with some feeble response of sanctions on some inconsequential Russian persons, after the fact.

https://punchng.com/3815-borno-teachers-incompetent-not-trainable-report/

How was the so-called assessment made? How did they arrive at the competent, not-competent, teachable, non-teachable verdict?

They should publish the methods used. They shouldn't stop at publishing sensational stories just to get people carried away.

It's not enough to just wake up and publish stories affecting the livelihood of thousands of human beings in this manner.

What is the reason/motivation for carrying out such exercise? When was the exercise carried out? Who are the consultants employed? What method of measurement/assessment did they use? Under what conditions did they do it? Etc.

Politicians already know that the level of critical thinking of the people is very low. And they know the kind of headlines that are appropriate for fooling the ever gullible public, especially when they want to pursue a sinister agenda.

Africans have to learn how to demand transparency from government in all they do beyond applauding every bizarre decisions being taken. African people should develop critical thinking skills.

Some pertinent questions to ask the authorities include:

Were these teachers incompetent, not-teachable when Prof. Zulum himself passed through that same system?

Does the Borno State Government want to sack its workers because of the wage bill/fiscal stress and looking for whom to sack and the justification?

What is the fate of these "incompetent, not-teachable" school teachers now?

What is the arrangement for their severance in view of the volatile environment and the potential for recruitment into terrorism and banditry right there in Borno?

Assuming these people are not classroom "teachable" as alleged, what is effort the government is making to teach them other productive skills so that they won't offer their services to those who would teach them how to terrorize other people or come rushing down south in their thousands to ride "Okada"?

Seriously,Aregbe went over the board this time around. Anyways it is what it is. I still want to believe it is all Nollywood. We wait.

Look at it in a more holistic way.

Nature abhors a vacuum.

As it becomes more evident that the leader is getting weaker and weaker, lieutenants would naturally contest for replacement or outright displacement.

It is a "life long ambition" for many of Oga's followers to take over.

To the initiates, what you term "overboard" is a well calculated risky adventure that signals the end of an era.

In the ancient times, the reasonable thing for the leader to do is bow out honorably otherwise it would result into a bloody fight which outcome is not certain, since it may end in disgrace and shame.

What would likely happen in this present case is that more of such brazen challenge are coming in weeks and months ahead.

These guys have been with him for decades, they have been used and sometimes dump, but they retain the training; including treachery, violence, subterfuge and herd appeal.

It might be possible to rout an individual or a few adversary with the help of loyal lieutenants in the peak of a leader's glory, but it becomes difficult or impossible to face a more determined, calculating, adventurous group of disgruntled followers who have waited for the best time to strike.

lol you are wrong. After Oloye Lekan, Ladoja is next to the throne. Balogun line is different from olubadan line. For Olubadan line, there are 21 stages, there are 22 for balogun line. Those on Balogun line cannot vie for olubadan stool and vice versa. But Balogun is always the second most powerful after the Olubadan. Historically, there are Baale line (Civic) and the Balogun line (military) cos Ibadan evolved as a military state. With time, Baale line metamorphosed into Olubadan line when the Olubadan stool was upgraded in the 20th century

Ahh!
Which history lesson did you learn this from? Your statement in bold is simply not true. The Olubadan position is rotated between the two lines that you mentioned. The two lines ascend systematically to the top as vacancy exists.
Oba Saliu Adetunji himself was the Balogun of Ibadan before becoming the Olubadan.
Always confirm things before you make statements like this. That is what Chief Ladoja himself is fighting for, I.e. to do things according to laid down rules and tradition.
Chief Rashidi Ladoja moves to Otun Olubadan and wait for his turn behind the current Balogun Akinloye Owolabi Olakulehin.

Karleb:

Your claim is, the fellow is right as far as 2 Americans are taking soda as water since 2 persons equals 2 people, (1) right?

I could say Yoruba people marry multiple wives but if research shows that (2) 48 percent of Yoruba people marry at least one wife, which may or may not mean half of these 48 percent marry less than 3 wives then my claim isn't right after all.

There are people who take soft drinks as water all over the world, (3) but "white people" in his statement means a lot of them and your link even further disprove that.
Besides, (4) most people who take soda as water anywhere in the world always suffer the consequences as opposed to his claims.

(5) I know you are trying to justify the excessive intake of soft drinks but at least (6) for the sake of your family, don't abuse soft drinks.

1. False. You were the person who claimed he was wrong by assuming you knew what he was saying.

2. Yes, at least one is an indication that some have more than one. Your statement would be factually correct as supported by data. There shouldn't be any dispute about it. It would be wrong if you now assign any qualifying weight (many, majority, etc) to your statement, which is not evident in the data.

You cynically questioned/dismissed an example of a single white person as not representative of "white people" in his statement, but when you were shown another data, you responded with the weighted factor, by saying he "meant" many white people.

3. There you go. You are assigning weight to his statement, which he didn't mention and at same time disproving a clear research data. An amazing thought process you've got, man.

4. You see?
Most!
Always!
How did you know this? Do you mind sharing the result of your research that made you come to this apocalyptic conclusion? The link I shared says "the poll found no difference between the self-reported weight of those who said they drink two or more glasses of soda daily, compared with those who do not drink soda" (weight gain or obesity, being one of the supposed consequences). Shouldn't that tell you that there are more to those consequences than what you are assuming?
Some medical expert advise say soft drinks intake is a contributory factor to some health conditions and diseases in some people. But it seems your own research had reached a definitive conclusion.

5. You seems to know a lot of things without being told. Don't you think you need to commercialize that "spectacular" prowess of yours? You would make a lot of money, trust me. But NO. I was trying to make you stop making WILD assumptions. When you are on the internet, don't assume you know everything. You see those links you find offensive? Try and consult them once in a while.

6. That's a good advice. Nice of you. Don't you think there are lots of other regular (staple) foods "more dangerous" than soft drinks that you would need to advise your family to stop "abusing"? How about asking them to desist from "abusing" Garri?

The link says "A new Gallup poll finds that 48 percent of U.S. adults say they drink at least one glass of soda a day".

But the fellow I quoted claimed white people drink soft drinks instead of water with no demerit and that was before you came with your links.

How does one glass of soda translates to taking soda instead of water? undecided

At least one glass, bro. At least!

The guy you quoted said "white people", which translates to more than 1 white people.

But you questioned/disputed the assertion as cynically as you can.

Now, 48 percent of American adult population would normally include at least 2 white people who take "at least" one glass of soda everyday.

At least means there are those who take more than one glass - including those who possibly take them in place of water, as claimed by the guy.

Seems the links offend you so much.

Well, they are there to guide us into facing realities, mostly.

A whole C Ronaldo who has been more active than the OP in the last 20 years, with his billions of dollars that can buy the best medical care in this world, runs away from soda.

May be the OP prefers people to open GOFUNDME account for him later in his years or sharing one bank account for treatment of one ailment in one country.

Not breaking down now doesn’t mean he doesn’t have excess sugar in his body already. He should get a sugar level testing machine and be checking that every week and ask medical doctor for optimum sugar level for his body.

Redomi:
Jakande was sentenced to jail just like his boss, Awolowo. But Jakande was crying in the court not because of himself but for Awolowo. When Awolowo saw him, approached him and asked him "why crying for only me..." Jakande replied "I don't mind going to jail and even adding your terms to mine, why South.West, why is it that the only Premier in Nigeria that will be jailed is the Premier of my Region?". Awolowo replied "Dry your tears, God sometimes keep his own away when danger is approaching...."
And that was what happened! The reason why Nigeria didn't break in 1967 was Obafemi Awolowo. Gowon said "I needed him badly more than I needed the Nigerian Army".....Why? Two reasons;
1. The original rallying point of the Yoruba was Awolowo. If Yoruba supported the break up, no Jupiter can stop it. Therefore, to keep Nigeria one, Awolowo must endorse it!!!!
2. The wisdom of Awolowo was unequalled, unparalleled and unrivalled. His wisdom must not be on the side of the rebel, Nigeria would not survive without it.
No wonder the two Warriors Gowon and Ojukwu said and I quote; "I am the luckiest ruler of Nigeria because the best Nigeria asset in person of Chief Awolowo was my Vice Chairman and Finance Commissioner..."- Gowon. "Chief Awolowo is the best President of Nigeria that never was..."- Ojukwu.
Need I say more? Murtala Mohammed had ensured in his Transition Programme that Shehu Shagari would not contest but after his death, OBJ relaxed the rules.....Shagari was allowed to contest and won but in 1984, Buhari stopped Shagari again, describing his election as "shamelessly rigged".......
NCNC was the popular Party in Lagos. They always won Lagos. And Awolowo's Action Group would have lost in 1954 if not for Madam Abibatu Mogaji the mother of JAGABAN who mobilized the Lagos women for AG!
THE SECRET OF AWOLOWO....
Awolowo deliberately spent a lot of money in establishing exclusive investments for the Western Region where he thought the SW Progressive Politics would be financed. He said "SW need stable source of fund to fight politically because a poor people cannot fight the Central Government...". No one knew this secret until his Deputy had issues with Awolowo and leaked the secret to the opponent. He told them "fight Awolowo from now till forever, if you didn't destroy the Western Nigerian Investments, SW will always be buoyant financially and they will fight you and win you...." Wow!!!!! That was the end!!!
From that time, to cut the story short, SW was targeted! AWO was accused of fraud. Investments converted to Full state investment and later Odu'a Investment. And later, during the military regime, there was a time when all SW governors were non Yorubas, Odu'a investment was crushed. Cold dead! But LAGOS of Tinubu reinvested the progressive interest in a more sophisticated way. MAY THE SECRET OF LAGOS NOT BE LEAKED THE WAY ENEMIES LEAKED THE SECRET OF SW!!! The Story of Progressive Politics in Nigeria since 1954 had its Genesis from Awolowo's Palm Tree which, After processing, have its revelation from Tinubu's Broom!!!
No more No less!
We must never forget the families of Obafemi Awolowo, Lateef Jakande, Bisi Onabanjo, Bola Ige, Adekunle Ajasin, Ambrose Ali, Adebayo, JS Olawoyin, Anthony Enahoro, Abraham Adesanya, S.O Gbadamosi, Bode Thomas.....These are first generation of progressive politicians who played progressive politics for life!!!
UP AWO!!!!
Simple but Notable. When Awolowo arrived Lagos from Calabar Prison, after meeting with Gowon, it was Murtala Mohammed who voluntarily drove Awolowo home, in his personal car. Murtala described the gesture(driving Awolowo) as a privilege!!!

non-indigenes usually go back to their home state to vote since they registered in their home state, is this even a rocket science?

and this happens in other states too except states like Lagos, FCT and some other states.

Voters are adviced to register in their hometown because it's gives their hometown opportunities, I mean having large number of voters give their hometown some special status.
and that's why some towns do organize free transportation for their people living outside during voters registration.

shut up and stop quoting me.. this is what every SENSIBLE person should know.

No matter what is done, a local folk will remain local. You were offered a life-line to modify the nonsense you wrote but you doubled-down instead.

Is it conceivable that any smart person would claim that only indigenous people vote in any jurisdiction and even refer to that as "science" in December 2020?

Why then do politicians all over the country (including Kwara State) reachout to different settler communities in their domain to canvass for their votes?

If they all settlers travel to their villages and home states as your "science" taught you, who do politicians go to see for support during elections?

Do you know what intelligent people do? They refrain from throwing figures and percentages everywhere without anything to back them up otherwise they are seen as charlatans or quacks.

Except it is something everyone can verify or a survey you conducted or participated in (which, of course, should be in public domain) it makes more sense not to make bogus claims like you doing here.

In the absence of a scientific survey or a census (headcount), demography is difficult to ascertain. All the percentage you have been dishing out here amount to mere assumptions or wishful thinking or falsehood.

In Kwara non- indeginous people don't vote, they used to travel back to their hometown/state to vote.
Now if we use the number of registered voters in each local government to judge the population, the three Ilorin LGA are the top three (massively), Saraki wasn't actually wrong when he said his adugbo vote(I exaggerated when I said polling Booth) is far more than a certain LGA (Ekiti, Isin and Oke-Ero), he did said that.
And if we look at it very well, He wasn't wrong, looking at the massive registered voters in Ilorin west (Saraki LGA), it's possible for Agbaji to pull more voters than one of (Isin, Ekiti and Oke-Ero)
You can Google the number of registered voters in each lga.

Ifelodun too is majority Muslims

Irepodun looks like 50/50 or slightly Muslims majority.

the above three are the largest and the most populous LGA in Kwara South out of 7.
If you are coming Southward from Ilorin, it's when you get to OKEONIGBIN in Isin that you will start seeing Christians dominated towns, from OKEONIGBIN downward are smaller towns and villages except OMU-ARAN(Irepodun LGA)
OMU-ARAN that I know very is like 50/50

Now back to OMU-ARAN (and Irepodun), omu Aran is cosmopolitan with influx of people from nearby small villages like (Oko, Aran orin, eleyin, Roore, Olla, e.t.c), these smaller villages are Christians dominated but very small in population.

Irepodun looks like 50/50, in Irepodun, bigger towns like Oro, Ajase-ipo are Muslim dominated, while smaller villages are Christian dominated.

Next LGA is Oke-Ero, Iloffa which is the biggest is 50/50 (I personally know this place) but other towns like Odo-owa, Ayedun, Ekan, Idofin with massive Christian population will set Oke-Ero at 80%/20% in favour of Christians.


Ekiti has the same pattern with Oke-Ero, the biggest town, Osi is muslim dominated and the rest villages are massively Christians 80% Christians with Oke-Ero.

Offa+Ifelodun will surely cancel Isin+Oke-Ero+Ekiti (while Irepodun will remain neutral)

OYUN LGA is what I don't have an idea, but it's also small and very close offa, I believe it should be 50/50, Offa should have an influence on this LGA, even most people don't know the difference between Offa and Ijagbo.

KWARA SOUTH AT BEST IS 50/50 or slightly Muslim majority (judging by the analysis in the last two paragraphs)

Hence I wasn't wrong when I said the Yorubas (Kwara central and Kwara South) are 70% muslims, 30% Christians, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ADD MORO(the other Yoruba LGA in Kwara north) Moro is majority Muslims and will surely cancel Oyun (that I said I don't have an idea about)

70%-30% in favour of Muslims looks fair.

Now since we all agree that Kwara north is Majority Muslims, won't that reduce everything? Kwara north will reduce Christians to like 20-25% at best.

Last, Mr Nowenuse, I'm not a Muslim, I have no reason to deny my faith.

Ogbeni, you have been making many bogus assertions but this one in boldface is the worst. No educated person should type that.

Just remove that one immediately or modify ASAP.

It's now about widespread voter fraud.

Didn't they claim earlier that there wasn't any voter fraud at all?
