[b]bros as learned as you purport yourself to be i cant believe you actually think whomever is SELECTED for american presidency will change any policies they have. you do know in america what they have is an illusion of democracy and the two parties are supplied by the people who control the money and the federal reserve. the election is just a charade to give the plebeians and peons a sense of belonging but in actuality both parties formulate the same policies and work for the same people. the stupid issues they argue about during campaign has nothing to do with peoples lives eg gay rights and a womens rights etc etc. point being if you think an empire gets as great as america by basing their leadership on the votes of the 300 million dummies who mostly vote on stupid personal interests and some even base their votes on who is more handsome etc etc, if you think an empire gets great by electing its leaders based on the vote of 300 million dummies, then you need a real lesson in world politics. what america has is an illusion of democracy but in actuality it is a dictatorship. they give the 300 million peons an illusion of inclusion by staging this election charade every 4 years.

lolzz this is not conspiracy at all. everybody knows american presidents are just puppets. its well known. like rotschilds once said, it matters not who governs a country so long as I have control of their money and economy. and they ( rotschilds ) control americas money and economy. the federal reserve does not belong to america. it is privately owned. and these are the people who control and run america. and they run it like a corporation. so all presidents are SELECTED and not ELECTED. puppets. wink

TonyeBarcanista:
On August 11, 2008, Madam Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke, the Chairperson of Nigeria Stock Exchange organised a fundraising dinner to support United States Presidential hopeful and Democrat Nominee, Senator Barrack Obama. In the said event that was help in Lagos, more than $630,000 (N94.5 Million) was raised to support Obama's candidacy. This event was held WITHOUT approval of Mr Obama, and also it was against the laws of America. Organisers held the event at a point when the average Nigeria could not boast of $2 in a day. In fact, Obama eventually won, but Nigeria got no special benefit of his Presidency. He was elected as the President of United States of America, and not anywhere else.

Like 2008, Nigerians are now concerned about the forthcoming USA Presidential contest between Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democrat Nominee Hilary Clinton.

In fact, I have seen various facebook pages, whatsapp groups and those of other forum run by Nigerians to solicit support for either of the candidates. It is ironical that most of these Clinton/Trump campaigners have never left the shores of Nigeria since they were born not to talk of possessing the right to vote in America. Some of them that are residents in America are either temporal residents or illegal residents. The negligible few that are citizens of America don't disturb the peace of Nigerians with the Trump/Clinton noise as they are concerned with their lives there.

It was laughable to read a piece that quoted Prof Wole Soyinka of threateing to destroy his American Green Card should Trump get elected. I laughed and ask, does Soyinka opinion or emotional feelngs now important in the scheme of things in America? Of what value is his Green Card to the American economy or even an average American? "na who even know Soyinka for America? Which American has his Green card helped for him to assume that Americans will be swayed by his emotional preference?

Though I am not for spiting Wole Soyinka or any Nigerian, but I think it is embarrassing for Nigerians to leave important pressing issues at home front just to appear important by joining the American campaign when their sermon are targeted at Nigerians with no single voting value in America. Beside, the emergence of either candidate will not help Nigeria out of recession. Americans are for America's interest, Nigerians should concern about Nigeria's interest.

A friend once told me that USA election affects the world, my reply to him was, same with the election of Nigeria, but should USA make wrong decision, they will bear the consequences and go down for another to rise. Same is applicable to every countries.

Finally my compatriots, let the truth be told, our opinion as Nigerians and non America citizens DOES NOT count in the American election. Let us at least learn to mind our business. I will end with two portions of the Bible:

"Interfering in someone else’s argument is as foolish as yanking a dog’s ears."- Proverbs 26:17

"Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before."- 1 Thessalonians 4:11



May God Bless Us All And Bless Nigeria

The OP tonye typifies the stupidity of our forefathers.

The mark of great nations is they pay attention n participate in global events.

These ones are telling us to focus on nigeria like naija is running away.

Both candidates have polarized policies which will have a very direct impact on nigeria & the mumu is asking us not to be concerned n air our opinions which could/could not INFLUENCE voters in america?

To tonye n those supporting his dull opinion google to see how "active" people from Australasia. To europe are tweeting like mad.

U ignorantly mentioned empires rise, empires fall metioning greece,rome,germany etc did u even observe the TURMOIL that followed their fall b4 decades later the world recalibrated?

Smh 4 africans
God bless u real good. He thinks nations rise and fall just like kids' play without attendant consequences. The autocratic and racial cum anti-semitic stance of Hitler created the 2nd world war that affected economies and lives world over. The OP just wrote those stuff without recourse and detailed analysis of global issues. The price of oil that affects me and you today is simply influenced by American and pro-western stance on clean and cheaper energy. Some days ago we read from this same platform that some interest outside Nigeria are against FG's policy on rice self-sufficiency and the impact on their economy, and are making efforts to see that we dont realise that. That is called global economic competition. Nations world over compete for survival and a policy action in one country might trigger lots of positive or negative reactions in others, let alone a super power like America.

If you don't know.. The President of American is the world's most powerful person, every country has a say in who takes the spot. Believe it or not, the decisions taken by that person directly or indirectly affects other countries.

Don't mind them, that's what they don't know.

You don't have to be American for the election to matter to you. Yes we should prioritize local issues, but global issues matter too. Immigration is a big deal this year. To a 14 year old Russian or Nigerian Math genius who wants to study in a country that gives him the best tools to maximize his potential, this election matters to him. Heck, to even the uneducated Syrian father of two who dreams of immigrating one day to achieve the American dream, this election matters to him.

Maybe it's just me. I just think the media whips up this fears of a crazy guy launching nuclear weapons. Russian annexed crimea and all NATO could do was huff and puff.

Maybe my thinking is warped. I believe nuclear weapons are just a deterrent a way of opposing countries flexing muscles at each other. Besides no nuclear weapon has been used in battle since nagasaki

Fear of a nuclear apocalype to me is misplaced.

This Guy, always feeling like he has opinion everybody should follow. The Euphoria of American election is even more in Europe, Russia, China and most other countries than in Nigeria, and still all of them don't have a say on who wins. You can't take it away from America, the way you can't take away the euphoria of European Football league across the world from Europe.

USA is the leadership of planet earth, if you are on earth and you are not interested in the leadership of the earth, then you are ignorant of the real history of the planet and the direction of the dynamics. The cosmos influence that determines the direction of the planet is a geared towards global leadership. And not some third world ignorant Presidents. I dont even remember tuning to Nigeria TV station in the last many years. Everyone I know tune to CNN and Sky News. I no get liver to tune to Nigerian TV, their English even annoys me big time. They wear funny caps inside house and the women wear hijab. What a confused country. Who wears cap indoors if not bunch of morons.

We are not sovereign yet, so dont blame people who need hope.

You talk like an ignorant negro with very very low self esteem. Please tell me who made USA the leadership of the earth? You may also tell us where and when such leadership were made.
