mach7: Hillary was accused of something in the in 2016 election. Trump was also accused of something then. Counter accusations are normal. Politics is dirty everywhere, as a Nigerian you know this better than anyone else. So the problem isn't that Trump accused the Democrats of election fraud, the problem is follow up actions and his willingness to sacrifice peace/stability for his political goals. Hillary believed there was inconsistencies in the last election as well but she didn't degenerate into this. She left the people out if her saga, accepted the result and followed with the problem party to part afterwards. Trump somehow believes he can always have things go his way against all odds like a baby. He doesn't know his limits and that is what has brought him into this. As for the bolded, the majority is the voice. So when I say Americans don't want him, I meant the majority, however sizable Trump's supporters might be. Most of those who believe the election wasn't free and fair are simply following the voice of thier preferred candidate. If that number of people had any proof of fraud, Biden wouldn't have been declared the winner. 1 Like |

BRATISLAVA:Nigerians trying to buy into this liberal sensationalism makes me cringe. When I expressed a different opinion on the #EndSARS protest, I was blocked, berated, cursed at, etc. because I didn't conform to the norm. Cancel culture is becoming more prevalent in Nigeria. 1 Like 1 Share |

Fortune109: The Russian accusation which was made before the 2016 election could not have been geared towards challenging Trump's victory when there was no winner when the accusation was made. It came after Hillary's private email server accusation was brought up. The protest of 2016 had nothing to do with it. And like I said, even if it did, the Democrats took every step to calm the people down. Can you say this about Trump? The Democrats undermined the democratic system system by challenging the result? Lol... so what then is democracy? Dude, you're really trying to make this about challenging the results because that would help you make a convenient comparison but it is never about that cause challenging the election result does not in anyway undermine the democratic system. In fact, it is an integral part of the democratic system and the right of the loser. The only requirement is that you keep it legal. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans were the first to challenge the results, it has happened more than 5 times in the American history. I don't know your age but that of the 2000 election was even far dramatic than the Russian accusation. So get your facts right. Challenging the result is not the problem. Again accusations are normal in politics and Hillary didn't start it. Trump's team brought up Hillary's private email server accusation long before the Russian accusation was made. If you read my posts, I never said Trump shouldn't challenge the result cause it's his right. Like I said earlier, what matters is how the losing party goes about it and Trump's narcissistic and egoistic approach landed him here. America is not lawless. Hillary followed the legal process and went home to lick her wounds when she couldn't prove anything. She didn't incite people into taking to the streets violently and she called them to order when they did. Again, can you say this about Trump? |

WoundedLamb: You cannot have exact same scenarios in life, when we are not Robots. You can't see the big picture of what the Democrats tried to do because it was not successful... In Politics you have to latch on to something to make sure you grab power from your opposition or make sure they don't grab power from you...it has to be something...Either the Russian accusation which the Democrats continue to latch on to till they almost impeached Trump while risking the State Security issues that would have created, or Trump latching on to the accusation of outright rigging and encouraging his supporters to speak out against it while risking the State Security issues that would have created too; ... You see, Politicians will always be Politicians... If the Dominion software had been counting more votes for Trump (7 to 8 in every 10) you want to tell me the Democrats would just be quiet too |

Fortune109: You are still trying to lump them up when I have over and over again made it clear the approach is the bone of contention. Politicians will be politicians and it is fine if you can stay within "legal correctness". You overstep when you ignore the due process or try to use violence to achieve your aim. This is America and that can never be tolerated because adherent to the rule of law is a major indicator of a first world country. So nobody is asking for the exact same scenario, the approach only needs to be arguably legal and non violent. Whatever it is you claim the Democrats were trying to do in the last election, they managed to keep it within the tolerance of the American law. They encouraged the people the move on while they challenged the outcome themselves. They didn't resort to inciting violence. And eventually, they lost and went home. Can we say this about Trump? You're asking what the Democrats would have done if they had perceived any phoney activites against them; was that not what played out the last time when they detected Russian interference in the election? What did they do? They accepted the results in public to calm the people down while they kept digging for evidence long after the election. Like you said, they almost succeeded but eventually lost cause what they had wasn't concrete enough. They were not happy but they let go cause the law had spoken. What makes Trump think he's above that? The software tweak story you mentioned was alleged. People came to that conclusion not via any technical means but based on what they saw as inconsistencies in the numbers. That's not a problem. The problem is, what made Trump think the Democrats were stupid to have followed the due process when they had their own doubts? What made him think encouraging his supporters to fight was going to yield any positive result?Today 5 people are dead already and you people are complaining his accounts were banned; were you seriously expecting the country to sit back and watch him destabilize them? If Donald Trump had any evidence to prove the software was tweaked to disfavor him, he would have done what the Democrats did when they believed Russian interference worked against them. Ignoring the rule of law doesn't just undermine the democratic system, it undermines the judiciary system and that's the height. He made his choice against the advice of both the Republicans and the Democrats. |

kingxsamz:Read the part of screenshot were it read "censorship by Twitter itself..." Please, it'd be simple of you to narrow your definition of censorship to government and religion. I dare say faceless multi billion dollar big tech conglomerates are bigger than most governments and religious institutions. |

Re: American Celebrities React To Trump’s Twitter Ban (Pictures) by kingxsamz(m): 8:06pm On Jan 10, 2021 |
chewwie:At least read to understand first. I didn't show you that screenshot for nothing. Censorship by Twitter has to do with the government sending a request to Twitter to take down a post or any content. It has nothing to do with suspending ones account for violation of Twitter rules. It's censorship when it involves the government, religious bodies and any institution with authority. Do you understand now? So Twitter or Instagram taking down your page for violating its rules is not censorship.

kingxsamz:So who in the USA government told Twitter to censor Trump? Does multi billion dollar Twitter not count as an institution of authority? Again, according to Section 230 protection, big tech companies are not supposed to EDIT content on their platforms because the government protects them from lawsuit liabilities. If they want to edit, they should be open to lawsuits. |
Re: American Celebrities React To Trump’s Twitter Ban (Pictures) by kingxsamz(m): 8:52pm On Jan 10, 2021 |
chewwie: Oga, they didn't censor Trump, they simply suspended his account for violating Twitter rules. Am I typing French here or what? They suspended his account the same way they suspend the accounts of ordinary people who violate Twitter rules. Nawa. You're making me to repeat the same thing all over and over. And Twitter is an app on your phone, not an institution of authority. Now, what is the difference between Instagram banning Tunde Ednut's account and Twitter banning Trump's account? Put down your love for Trump and think about the question before answering abeg. |

chewwie: Exact same thing happened to me. It's good to see that you can see through it, too. And Nigerians are the biggest followers, because they follow any popular stream of thought without thinking. They just fight for it to sound wise and woke. Most accept anything that's mainstream, nevermind its relevance. With the way Nigeria is, it will be more decadent than any other society. For the single reason that Nigerians don't think deeply about anything. 1 Like |

I've been living here for as long as I can remember and to be frank with you sir, I'd rather live with harmless homosexuals than with racists or some white supremacists who believe others are here to contaminate their race. So yeah, I'll go with my homosexual Democrats who, by the way, have won the election . I'll leave you with your saint Donald Trump who grabs them by the puss.y. Hopefully, he succeeds in granting himself presidential pardon for his offenses. I only pity the Republicans whose image he's succeeded in tarnishing. |
