IjeBos:Lmao. Keep fooling yourself you hear? That one na between you and your delusions of who you think I am 😂😂 All I know is that you are a fake poser pretending to be a successful Harvard graduate when in reality you are a jobless gay prostitute hoping from passenger seat to passenger seat of different mens cars taking pictures like a little bitch while spending half your day bloviating on nairaland like a lunatic hahaha. |

IjeBos:Shut up gay boy. The only people you are cocooned around are your gay tricks who tear your anus for a few dollars and rides around town in their car. Russia and China are far better for Africa than filthy American scum who are only interested in importing their their disgusting LGBTQ and trans agenda here. Why wouldn’t we prefer “Russian propaganda” to that bullshit? They come here, invest, sign bilateral trade agreements, train our military and leave. All without trying to force their filthy lifestyles on us. Africans are wiser. The world is realigning. Your country is falling. De-dollarization, homelessness and moral decadence is destroying you. China and Russia don’t even need to lift a finger. You are doing it all by yourselves. Hahahaha. See this filthy swine who still thinks it’s a flex to live in America. In the past 3 months alone like 6 of my homies have left that wasteland back to Africa (2 from Congo, 1 in Nigeria, a Tanzanian, Namibian and South African). They are here to chase big opportunities thanks to Chinese investments in all these counties. Continue staying in your wasteland were drugs and depression will kill you. We all know you are depressed. That’s why you are on nairaland everyday trying to console yourself. You and that lonely bitch 1stGenAmerican |

Ekemeze:My point exactly. Look all that criminality. Look at all the criminality he got away with because he controlled the DOJ and Republicans sold their souls to him and refused to impeach him for obvious impeachable "high crimes". Good thing the stuff he is indicted for later in that list, actual citizens on a Jury will decide based on facts and law and not on propaganda. Good list. I get why many in Africa might want to move away from the West, but moving away from the rule of law? Seems like cutting your nose of to spite your face. |

MentalCase98:Femi, of course I really don't know who you are, at this point do you? You are the guy who both graduated from the finest schools in the UK and the US, but at the same time didn't finish school, in fact wants to bomb all schools in Nigeria (your words). The same guy who lived in the US and left, yet at the same time has never been to the US. The same guy who's family Tinubu had to beg to run for office yet who doesn't have 1k in his bank account. The same guy who wants to be a terrorist, wants everyone in the US dead but spends his life on the American Politics thread supporting Trump. What I do know about you is that you are f*king crazy. Fruity loops, padded cell, throw away the key crazy. Keep stalking me. Seems that's what you live for. |

IjeBos:I just copied that from r/conservative though😂😂😂. Trump would be killed just like JF kennedy if all of these happened in the 1900s Anyways I've given up already, I'm 💯 sure at this point he's never going to jail. West should focus on their corruption and leave Africa alone |

basilico:Roughly 5 hours. What is roughly 5 hours you ask? When I logged in a couple of hours ago, I made a note when you were last online. I wanted to see how long it would take for you to realized you fuxed up and come up with an excuse for what you obviously slipped up and didn't intend to write. So, it took 5 hours for you to see my post and then to come up with that weak obfuscation. Do better. |

budaatum:Their gain was that they informed and educated one soul so he doesn’t end up another radical liberal lunatic ranting and rambling nonsense on a public Internet forum. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by budaatum: 6:19pm On Aug 04, 2023 |
MentalCase98:It didn't help you much it seems. You might not be a "radical liberal lunatic" but you do rant and ramble a lot of lunatic nonsense on a public forum and I expect just more in response. Those you mentioned, after all, were bullys who lacked the ability for intelligent discourse and bred in their own likeness. Pity is, they crowned dump. Irrelevant otherwise.

Obrigardo:You are a fool repeating talking points by media. Kushner got into a financing deal with Saudi for a real estate project. Something tangible Joe and Hunter were paid millions by foreign companies and countries for no tangible work done, For influence peddling. Bribes in other words for the paymasters to get favourable deals from Uncle Sam Obama had so many of his friends and donors get money after 2008 housing crisis. Many of those companies went bankrupt eg Solyandra. Obama on net neutrality. He had ordered that Internet Service Providers treat all data as equal. Biggest benefeciary was Netflix with 15% global traffic and 21% of US internet. They gave Obama a $65m deal to produce some documentaries enabling him to buy beach homes ( while warning the world about rising sea levels). Obama. When he introduced common core ,a publisher of those books later gave the Obamas a book contract worth tens of millions |

budaatum:Bahahaha. Typical liberal victim mentality. Anyone who speaks inconvenient truths is bullying you. How does liberalism emasculate men so much? That’s why I can never understand a grown man being a liberal. I can understand a minor or young man being a liberal, I can understand a woman being a liberal. But I will never understand a grown ass hairy balled man being a liberal whining about how mean people are and how much they need handouts instead of going out and taking what you want from this world. Y’all are so weak. It’s Pathetic. Honestly |

IjeBos:I understand your surprise that people in Africa are beginning to question this democrazy bestowed upon us by the West. Truth be told military has its benefits even though it has numerous disadvantages. I have lived under both and I can tell you that in terms of national cohesion and unity, the military is way better than civilians. I schooled in Sokoto under military rule, and I can tell you it was a wonderful experience. No sharia or any such nonsense. The military would would never have allowed such. There had been many Christian administrators/governors in the core North, and no one raises an eye brow. There had been Igbo governors in Lagos, and it was not an issue at all. But under civilian administration a person of igbo mother but Yoruba father is not considered indigene enough to be governor. Civilian administrations in Africa tend to use ethnic, religious and tribal fault lines as a political strategy and so tend to threaten to tear the country apart. Militancy, Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen, Biafra, oduduwa, etc all tend to come up under civilian administrations. Military governments tend to nip such insurgency in the bud before it even takes root. Remember General Sisi took over in Egypt to stop islamisation of Egypt by Morsi. Another positives about military administration is that they tend to be more effective in building infrastructures. If you compare infrastructures built by military to those built by civilians, you will agree that military actually build infrastructures - roads, bridges, airports, etc., better, faster and more cost effective. Compare the Lagos International Airport built by Obasanjo/Murtala and Abuja Airport built by subsequent civilian administrations since 1999. They are world apart. The military built 4 refineries, the civilians have not been able to build one. Same for major express roads and bridges. |

BraniacX:As if being a nationalist is wrong. That's what globalists demonize. National interests first. Diversity. China, Japan and the Asian tigers don't kill themselves with diversity. Radical left who glue themselves to the tarmac in order to save the planet. 2. They both harbour or give platform to those who openly preach or espouse beliefs of racial superiority or exclusivity of certain groups of peopleBroad brush. Liberal Nazis think they are superior in all ways. Intellectually, wealthwise and seek to censor any view they don't like. 3. They both support crony capitalismSolution? We aboilish capitalism. However I think it's the left using govt wealth ie taxes to impose their radical agendas. 4. They both claim to be anti-communist/anti-socialist [I] in the case of the Nazis at least, anti-stalin in the latter phase of the war [/i])What is wrong with being anticommunist. 5. They both defend oppression of specific groups either(by commission) directly in the case of the nazis or indirectly(by omission) in the case of the Republicans.As if democrats don't want to oppress republicans. Don't you long for the day whites will be a minority in America, hoping immigrants will vote democrats.. Save from Cubans who know how communist states behave.. like jailing your opponents on spurious charges. And oh, I'm talking about the current republican party, not the party of Lincoln and not the party before the ideological switch of the late 50's and early 60'sBring up the ideological shift in another thread.I will not repeat what I've stated here before |

wirinet:Makes sense. But is that any different than a dictatorship? I can see how one person rule can be more efficient than democracies (look at China). One of the problems I can think of is minority rights or rights of the people who's not part of the Leader's party/regligion/etc. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by wirinet(m): 8:00pm On Aug 04, 2023*. Modified: 4:12pm On Aug 06, 2023 |
IjeBos:Exactly! China would never have made such progress so fast under democracy. The problem is decision making under democracy is very slow (more bureaucracy), projects more expensive and time consuming(more interests to satisfy) and more corruption involved. So you see why Africa is still confused whether we want democracy or dictatorship. Democracy offers more personal and group liberties (but only for the dominant groups, dominant tribes, dominant religion, elites), while dictatorship offers better economic stability and infrastructure for the poor. As bad as Russia is in terms of freedom and liberty, the poor enjoys more economic stability than even the US. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by DeepSight(m): 8:08pm On Aug 04, 2023 |
wirinet:While I hear you on bureaucracy I am not sure about results. I have lived my whole life in Lagos where I was born and the first time I started seeing street lights on a steady basis was after 1999. And I am in my forties. It is also not true that democracy has not brought infrastructure. It has brought a lot. Projects like Eko Atlantic and the Lekki Ikoyi Bridge were not the work of military hands. In the end, absolute power by one man can never be a good thing. Never ever. There can be a few instances were a country is lucky with a benevolent absolute ruler. But this is the exception rather than the rule. Also democracy has the inbuilt nature of correcting its mistakes over time. For example when OBJ was president he would routinely suspend a governor in a state where he declared a state of emergency. That can no longer happen. He would routinely impeach governors with a tiny minority of the state assembly. That can no longer happen. Democracy has many flaws but it self corrects over time and is the best option in the long run. |

DeepSight:Eko Atlantic City and Lekki Toll Bridge, are those the best civilian rule offered Lagos, after 24 years of continuous civilian rule? First and foremost those projects are privately funded or tolled. Then those projects confirmed what I first said, that those projects were built with small privileged group in mind - the elite, and not the generality of the poor lagos masses. Now let's compare to military rule - Lagos Ikorodu express way and Third Mainland Bridge, and various housing estates including 1004, FESTAC, Satellite Town, Games Village. These projects benefited the generality of Lagosians including the poor. Even the elitist Victoria Garden City and Banana Island was conceived under the military. For your information, I lived and schooled in Ikoyi and V/I. In the end, absolute power by one man can never be a good thing. Never ever. There can be a few instances were a country is lucky with a benevolent absolute ruler. But this is the exception rather than the rule. Also democracy has the inbuilt nature of correcting its mistakes over time. For example when OBJ was president he would routinely suspend a governor in a state where he declared a state of emergency. That can no longer happen. He would routinely impeach governors with a tiny minority of the state assembly. That can no longer happen.I agree that absolute power depends on the benevolence of the dictator in power , but I disagree that absolute power by one man can never be a good thing. Infact throughout history, the highest and fastest progress was achieved under dictatorship. From Caesar's Rome to Ancient Egypt to Victorian England to modern China. Democracy in Africa seems never to be able to correct itself but keeps on repeating the same mistakes, which are election rigging, sit tightism if civilian rulers, corruption and tyranny of the ruling elite. Democracy has many flaws but it self corrects over time and is the best option in the long run.Democracy is not even an absolute term but relative. The US is not a true democracy in the true sense of the word. The electoral college system does not necessarily depend on the votes of the electorate, but on electors sent by the states and approved by Congress. This anomaly was what Trump tried to exploit by trying to send an alternative set of electors not reflected by the actual votes. If the vice president and Congress had accepted the alternative electors, the votes would not have mattered and trump would have been sworn in as president. Also the British system cannot be said to a full democracy. The monarch is the Head of state. The prime minister and his cabinet serve and pledge allegiance to the king. |

Hahahaha. The mask is falling off. All the Obama ass lickers here who thought the man’s shit was as clean as snow need to listen to his own biographer admitting he is not much better than Trump. I always said it that the only difference between Trump and Obama was that Trump was emotionally honest…That doesn’t mean he was always right.. it just means he was always who he was at all times. Obama on the other hand was a trained career politician who knew the art of being deceitful and tailoring his message and behavior depending on who he was speaking to at the time. Read this article. I would personally prefer politicians who are emotionally honest. That was Trumps main appeal.
