I subscribe to almost all the demands but no. 5 should never be agreed on.

Unconditional release? With all those abominable audio recordings by him that pointed to treason?

BlueAngel444:
Chelsea moving to discuss with FA, UEFA and FIFA the possibility of increasing starting 11 to starting 17 as they feel a lot of positions are not being filler by the current 11positions made available on the pitch.

They have hired AI to show the metric involved, this move will happen on 30 02 2024

airmark:
I don't know why Izzou and Obainojazz are feigning ignorance.

airmark:
Werey.

Is his release one of the demands or not? Because I was shocked to see it in the list too.

CrystalTiger:
I saw this news yesterday and I just shook my head..Our politicians have very funny priorities..

Lost my dad fourteen days ago and the caterer bill I received yesterday, I just wonder how the average Nigerian is able to feed..

BlueRayDick:
Politicians in Nigeria tend not to do the right thing at first instance because they know there abounds a large population of stupiid people in Nigeria .

They know there are countless number of Nigerians who will support them no matter the decision they take . They know there an are people who will because of tribal sentiment, religious preference , personal bias , etc defend the wrong thing/policies .

There are people that will twist logic just to defend stupiiiid government policies without any benefits accruing to them from such venture.

He'll be sourcing less dollar to buy abroad for one, but at the same time NNPC will be earning less dollar since they are not selling that crude abroad. If procured at more or less the international price (reflected in Naira), it should net off and have little effect for that transaction, but it will have a positive effect on net dollar demand later downstream if Dangote then sells refined products to distributors in Naira

LordAdam16 and User09 can give us further breakdown as they are closer to Nigeria internal workings

You should have let him own his answer.

The polls are from differing pollsters. Comparing them is hard to do, because each pollster has to develop their own profile of the voters(methodology). And because of that, the numbers that matter are the level of support for the candidate. You would like consistent support amongst all the polls and if you are constantly getting above 51% better. Like now all the polls are showing harris with consistent 40-42 ish support.

So how did we get here.

1.) LordAdam16 believed the poll showing Harris leading was Wrong though it was the most recent poll
His first argument was that the poll of Harris leading was wrong because there was an 8 point swing from a poll the day before. It's odd to compare two different polls that way. Normally you would compare a single poll taking from different days. Weird and not quite useful.

2.) He mistakenly believed the poll was taken the day after Biden dropped out because that was when it was released.
I pointed out that the 1st poll was taken from the 19th -21st. So one of the reasons the poll may show a "different" result, despite the fact that it has a different methodology is that it was taken after she became the official candidate even though it asked the same question. Biden dropped out the 21st in the afternoon. While the first poll was a 3 day rolling poll that ended the day Biden dropped out so most of the responses had already been locked in. The second poll was taken the day after when the information had more time to percolate, making the poll more representative of current opinion.

3.) Correcting him got him mad.
So after I corrected him, he got mad and started asking questions why the poll had an 8 point swing. Again, odd question given that 1.)2 seperate pollsters 2.) 1 was taken before and the 2nd after a huge campaign shakeup. So, being me I thought the best way was to show that polls from 2 different pollsters can swing from day to day. So I went and found such a poll. Now, as I explained, when I look at polls I look at level of support of each candidate, not difference in support between candidates. So, the swing was from 54-49 (5 point swing, which would be huge if it weren't two different pollsters). He made his argument about the numbers, I explained why I chose the poll, but even found more polls showing a swing the way he thought about it (difference in support between the two candidates). It's a silly thing. Polls change daily.

Anyhow, at this point we had gone far upfield of the point. And like most MAGA, the point is to pick something, lie about it to divert from the original point that he was wrong about the Poll of Harris leading.

Anyhow below are the old polls I chose to help explain to him that polls can change from day to day. Again, notice the two pollsters are different. Number 1 shows the numbers I used, Number 2 shows the numbers he is pretending I used. It's clear for anyone to see unless you are being dishonest. Now imagine if you were Biden's team looking through the polls. What would matter to you? To me it be trying to understand how my numbers dipped by 5 points in this poll and looking at the crosstabs and methodology to understand what happened.

I was pointing out that from one to another even on the same day the level of support can swing dramatically esp if they are differing polls.
I included the screenshot below to him multiple times.

Polls should in theory all tell you the same thing, measure the same thing.

Ibime:
You haven't realised anything the last 4 years. You've been suckered in to the thing you called out, maybe by an unrelated issue you had with a woman. That's the maga calling card, which is to find one group of people each person dislikes and prey on it. Rishi Sunak lost election and Keir Starmer replaced him the next day without handover. Why, because civil servants run Government. That's what has always obtained, not someone trying to crash the system and kill it once and for all. That's the beauty of centrism, a sick or absent leader is better than an anti-democrat. At your age you should know how the thing go, not ranting upandan about Trump being impeded or being hit with charges (someone who should have been taken out of public life after Jan 6th, or resigned willingly if he had any shame) or even insinuating that a 20 year old disabled rookie will be sent to kill him, which is where I knew you have lost it completely, as if there are not better men for the job.

For your information, the red line of democracy lies in the supreme court. Anyone that crosses that line done shït for church. Even in the jungle, Atiku and Obi have not crossed that line, but your guy crossed that line even after Supreme court ruling on Jan 6th. That singularly disqualifies him from participating in democratic process going forward. These are principle tenets of democracy. In politics when you move from the centre to the extreme, a process of radicalisation must have taken place. So I will answer you in your own words.

The anti-spam bot may be acting maliciously. Probably broken.

It may take LordAdam16 a while to reply..
It's really hard to defend something you've mostly made up out of whole cloth.

ijebosb:
I mean..
Seems kinda simple to me.

I make an accusation.
When I'm asked for evidence of that accusation, I post receipts where I made that accusation.

LordAdam16:
You'll have to go to the US Politics thread and follow the conversations we had on the topic.
https://www.nairaland.com/4508641/american-politics-thread-2024-elections/4261#131112144

Ask the same question on that thread if you wish and I'd answer you.
I'm not going to let him litter this thread with his nonsense. He'll feel inclined to do the same elsewhere.
On this thread, I'll persistently respond to anything related to him with prepared, canned responses.
