sounds right

AmazonTopaz:
I have a feeling that South Carolina will be close even if Trump wins it many traditionally red states will be close and Biden will likely win some battleground red states and even solid red states will be close.
It is good that you are voting Biden I believe that Harrison has a good shot at defeating Graham that will be a close contest people like Harrison is needed in the senate not men who don't stick to their words like Graham.

You are right.The white racists are tired of him too and might not vote for anybody but a record number of black people are coming out to vote.The aim is to stop GOP from controlling ,passing and continuing with their obnoxious laws in the senate

Vice President Joe Biden released a statement today warning Buhari against cracking down on protesters

slyfoxxjoe:
Voter registration records being broken in Texas, Georgia and other red states while its down in many blue states. This shows Trump is likely winning this thing. His voters are far more enthused than Biden voters. Democrats just they make noise. I have a feeling 2020 will be a bigger shock to them than 2016. Let’s see sha.

I am not sure you understand the American system or how vote is done here.You register once at DMV or voter commission once and on Election Day you go to polling unit,show your drivers license,they verify you ,you vote and go home.Nothing like more new voters registration by party except people who just turned 18,new immigrants who just became citizens and people who had never voted before and which are always in the lowest of the voting group

J111333:
The thing go shock them. Trump supporters are mostly in small towns and they don't rant on social media like people in big cities who won't even have time to check their mails for ballot papers.

Americans vote the same pattern all the time.Trump narrowly won a discredited Hilary in 2016 and he hasn’t gotten any new supporters that switched sides,rather he has lost many.I will be voting on Nov 3rd for Biden ,Jamie Harrison for senate and the democratic lady for reps.I know trump will win in my state because the republicans had traditionally won this state since 1976 and same applies to democrats too in most states in America except the battle ground states but I will Fulfil my civic obligations by voting

Abagworo:
Peter Obi worked with this Nwafor in unleashing mayhem on Igbo citizens especially Biafran organizations. Even this demolition of Upper Class Hotel was carried out under Peter Obi's supervision alondside Nwafor so why did the post carefully dodge this open truth

https://www.nairaland.com/1954739/peter-obi-upper-class-hotel

I think peter obi had settled him for his hotel he demolished.He omitted his name from the article

I support El Rufai on public castration of men who ruin children’s future

One guy came to Nairaland with these idea several years (about 8 years ago)ago looking for sponsorship for their team .How I wish I had the money and had invested in it back then

Don’t come here and end up like the Ghanaian pastor who murdered the wife.The views a lot of you guys have about America are totally different from the reality.You have to actually like here to understand..It will push you to your limit the first few years but remember, don’t kill or damage somebody’s daughter no matter what you see

Now i know why Atiku wanted NNPC sold..so nigeria cannot refine petroleum in 2020...smh

Hullabaloon:
Seems like you grew up in Enugu. Do you remember the popular police man, Ignatius Eko popularly called IG? He was a terror to armed robbers around 2004/2005

one man show? Yea they used a girl to trap him and killed him around that Zik avenue by Agbani road at a beer parlor

It can work for you for 5 years and just one day it will fail a bullet will pierce you and you are gone.Almost every armed robber believes in it but after “successes “ it fails one day and they are killed.Thats why if you watch crime fighter videos anytime police kill an armed robber they display their charms to the public to show them its powerless.From armed robbers that believed in Odeshi like derico,chiejina,ngwuekeluomu,anini etc they are all dead.The popular policeman Jude sars in Enugu had his own fail him.During the cult war in Enugu of the 90s and 2000s I had seen people shot multiple times at close range,the bullets pierced their clothings but couldn’t penetrate their bodies.I would conclude that that thing Is unreliable and can fail when you least expect it.Its best to believe in Jesus which is a more enduring and reliable power

Is he on facebook?

Too high a sum for damages.Would discourage other businesses from doing business in Nigeria

Why would you eave the job you have for uncertainty and now coming online to seek advice on a faceless forum.I don't understand

They will never encourage him..smh

Stay where you are in Nigeria and enjoy rest of mind

Great tips

olabrinks:
1. Maintain your weight whilst your young. Not watching your weight will give you series of problem later on in life. Exercise and eat properly.

2. Dont be with someone who’s family do not like you. It is an everlasting battle that you will eventually lose.

3. You will not gain respect trying to please everyone. Stand up for yourself and always speak your mind.

4. Only share things when you are established. People are envious and will try to destroy your plans if you share too quickly.

5. Listen more than you talk.

6. Social skills are paramount for getting further in life. You must learn how to make solid connections.

7. Elders do not know it best

8. Confidence is more valuable than looks

9. Your family doesn’t always want the best for you

10. No one will values you until you hit it big.

11. Be careful with alcohol. It is addictive and very accessible, probably the worst drug out there.

These are just some of mine, feel free to contribute some of yours.

Very inspiring

You said it all.Just block friends that come up with such suggestions

khia:
BOOOOOOM!!!! There you have it. 1000% correct.

Yes..o these people bandy a lot of false and half baked assertions on social media all the time

pDudd:
Most people of every color love Trump. What you see in California band New York and on CNN isn't the reality. America is a huge place and CNN coverage doesn't do it justice.

Its not true.Dont make wild speculations.He won Hilary by taking electoral votes of Wisconsin,Pennsylvania and Michigan by less than 100k votes.Today he has lost a lot of voters.Republican strongholds from Louisiana to Alabama,Arkansas etc have fallen to the Democrats since the 2018 congress elections.Trump does not represent any of the values America had been known for years and he is a threat to democracy ,which is the secret to American strength today.BTW Op You come out here to support a racist who doesn’t care about people like you while advising people to avoid avoid black Americans who paid with their blood for the civil rights you are enjoying today.You ran away from Nigeria because you couldn’t stay to join in the fight against the old men ruining your country ..you also went ahead and did nursing which is now the normal Nigerian bandwagon for people who lack any other ideas on how to explore opportunities in America and now see yourself as successful? Lol...so we now know why our Nigerian ‘Wisdom’ make us look pathetic in the eyes of right and open minded thinking people..smh

The ones I know are musicians

People giving their own personal little experiences they have while in America as the overall perspective of what happens all over America..Nigerians I tire for una..smh

Many jobs will be lost

ToluNazzal:
Hello Guys, Happy Sunday.

We know the covid-19 situation has kept us at home instead of being in our various churches worshiping and praising God. However, this lock down won't be a barrier to us. Our praise is limitless.

So, let's share our Favourite Nigerian Gospel Songs at the moment.

Here's mine...


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioq13heewaY

1. Mercy Chinwo - Akamdinelu and Omekannaya

2. Jimmy D Psalmist - Consuming Fire

3. Tim Godfrey ft Travis Greene - Nara

4. Ema ft Osinachi - You No Dey Use Me Play

What's Yours?

Correct

Go for pilot course

Explorers:
The average salary of a Nigerian pilot depends on a number of factors. How experienced the pilot is, the Flying hours (how many hours he/she has flown), and Pilot’s personal ranking Rating types Company (the airline the pilot works for)

Every new pilot (who has no experience and has just graduated from an aviation college) usually has a NCAA license (it is called CPL or Commercial Pilot License) but does not have a rating yet.

He/she may have problems with finding a job right after the graduation and can only hope for ‎₦200,000 to ‎₦500,000 if lucky(in a good airline company) per month. This can only happen if the employer will send their new pilot to Type Rating courses.

Pilots who are first officers (FO) and senior first officers (SFO) meaning they do have their Type Rating can expect their salaries up to ‎₦800,000 per month. In their situation, the amount of money they are paid absolutely depends on the company that offers them a job, their experience and flying hours.

Salary of Captain, Local captains can expect a higher salary than new pilots.

Their average monthly salary depends on the company and their working hours. Depending on these factors, these Nigerian pilots might be paid from ‎₦500,000 to ‎₦1,500,000 Naira a month.

International captain/pilot flying for international companies can earn ‎₦2,000,000 per month.

Good investment..looks like only the Nigerian rich can afford it for their kids

John F. Kennedy...US President

His country showed their appreciation by giving him a bullet to his head... Courtesy of the CIA.... Lights Out!

Murder the US president to keep him from signing the Civil Rights Act to give equal rights to black Americans. How are the Igbos treated?

Abraham Lincoln was also killed for ending slavery
