All of you shouting Trump Trump...you have bigger problems at home. Voter registration is reopening. We should be agitating for a complete revalidation of the register where every registered voter must prove his citizenship. A free and fair 2023 election starts from there. |
The Supreme Court is coming. Watch out for ACB. |
Pipefitter:He was imprisoned under George Bush. |
nony43:Money is meant to be earned through addition and transfer of value and not printed. |
In 2000, it took a full month to declare the outcome of the election for George Bush after contention over the Florida votes. George Bush won Florida with 534 votes gap to take the electoral college at 271-267. It was the Supreme Court that came to his rescue as the Democrats wanted a recount and the Florida Supreme Court granted Al Gore the request. However, angry Republican supporters stormed the recount venues and physically stopped the process, while the Republican lawyers got the Supreme Court to vote 5-4 to set aside the Florida Supreme Court's recount decision. You cannot rule out this happening this time around. |
If God were to ask him to refund all the air that he has breathed since 1998 to 2017, how much would he have to pay? Human beings are the most ungrateful of all creation. |
I see this ending in the courts like in 2000. If the tally depends on the outcome of one state and either party feels they can get the Supreme Court to pass a judgement that will favour them, then we will have a legal challenge. |
Available247:\ There is possibility of 268 apiece for a tie. Bush beat Al Gore 271 to 268. |
cococandy:If a mail was time stamped before Nov 3, it is good to go. |
SilverNorGold:You must be a very big fool to say that the voter suppression that occurred with soldiers and SARS shooting people was a free and fair election. A big fool. |
DoubleRoyalty:Not correct. Many of those states are still being counted. |
Queenyprinxex:Yes, Joe is back in front with 65% of votes counted. A real nail biter. |
Queenyprinxex:Trump is now ahead in Florida.

SegFault:Did you not study the electoral college system in school? I learnt this in Government way back. It is simple. The winner of the popular vote in each state is awarded the electoral college votes for that state. That is why candidates can kill for the votes in these states: 55 × 1 = 55 California 38 × 1 = 38 Texas 29 × 2 = 58 Florida, New York 20 × 2 = 40 Illinois, Pennsylvania 18 × 1 = 18 Ohio 16 × 2 = 32 Georgia, Michigan 15 × 1 = 15 North Carolina Simply put, winning US election is dependent on targeting the right states. Some states have always voted Republican, and some have always been Democrat. Trump shattered that myth in 2016 when he took the electoral college votes in traditionally democratic states. Targeting the right states allows you to lose the total popular vote in all 50 states, and still come out on top with the highest number of electoral votes. 270 is regarded as the unassailable margin. If I recall, Bush beat Gore by 271-267, and had to rely on the US Supreme Court to overrule the decision of the Florida Supreme Court for a recount of the Florida votes which were awarded to George Bush. The vote was 5-4. This is why Republicans quickly rushed Ann Coney Barrett's nomination so they get a conservative majority in the Supreme Court, in case it comes to that point as it did in 2000. |
grandlexuz:Joker. |
This guy will go broke soon. He was notoriously blowing his 75000 pounds salary every week until the bank had to limit his withdrawals. |
Ogbuu101:Cheap talk. Ojukwu's family are enjoying life with his kids from Bianca all schooling abroad. Go and visit the house of a typial ex-Biafran frontline solider. Pigs cannot even live there because of the squalor. I am Niger Deltan. We do not use senseless bravado. We back up talk with action. Where we see ourselves unable to match action with words, we do not talk. Where we have the means, we execute strategic strikes that forces the govt to negotiate on our terms. IPOB are just making noise that cannot be matched with action. A single MIG-29 fighter jet from the Tac Air Command in Makurdi will wipe out an entire platoon of IPOB miscreants in minutes. No be by talk talk. |
Some of you here have never heard of the Bakalori Dam massacre of 1980 or the Maitatsine revolt of 1979. Go and find out who and who were in the top echelon of the military back then and where they are today. People are talking about Lekki massacre as if it was the first time such a thing ever happened in Nigeria. These IPOB people have no idea who or what they are up against. Let them keep playing out the script of a man who is hiding in the UK. Tact is always better than bravado. |
frosbel2:See, I have lived in the north as well and have investments there. When the thing sets, all southerners are seen as Nyamiris and face the same fate. Personally, I want Nnamdi Kanu silenced forever. It is better one crazy man dies than a whole group of people are sent to their graves on his account. How many people were killed when the army went to arrest Kanu? Young vibrant men killed, some by stray bullets. I have a book on the pogrom of 1966 in pictures. If you ever see the pictures in this book, you will pray hard we NEVER see such in Nigeria again. |
frosbel2:How many tribes are in the north? |
frosbel2:Go and listen to his station and hear the vitriol he was pouring in a recent video done by Asari Dokubo. Igbos are the most diversely invested group in Nigeria. The people are all over Nigeria, heavily invested in those locations. Then one fool in the UK is instigating unguided and misguided elements to kill Northerners and other tribes in the SE. When the retaliations come from almajiris and jobless, poverty-stricken mass of northern youths who have no money, no houses, no investments and nothing to live for, who will come out of it the worse for it? Go and find out what the typical mai shai or mai guard in Igbo land owns. They live in their kiosks. When trouble sets, they simply put their few stuff in their bags and take off back home. When the Igbo man with his entire business investments and houses faces the same, will he carry his houses and investments on his head? It has happened before in 1966 (the pogrom). There are better ways to address issues of marginalization, especially when one party has a lot to lose. I know how many friends died in riots in Kaduna, Bauchi and Jos. I know people who ran with the clothes on their backs down south, leaving their houses, cars and all they owned to be destroyed by looters and arsonists. I am old enough to have witnessed several religious and ethnic-based riots in Nigeria. I no be small pikin. |
Uteghe:Nnamdi Kanu will get a lot of Igbos killed like it happened in 1966 if he is not careful. Igbo elders who were young at that time should talk sense into these youths who have no idea or knowledge of history. Tact is always better than open bravado. |
ckenneths:This cannot be Abakpa.....are you serious? I have been away from Enugu for long oooo |
OK2NVME:You forgot to add that once he is injured in battle, he can apply for and get instant citizenship on the basis of the "Français par le sang versé" (French by spilled blood) law. I know a guy in Abuja who has a French passport through such means. No be to shoot yourself begin claim citizen ooo. E no go work like that. |
Rahym001:You know nothing about how the university academic system operates the world over. |
freshMallam1122:You are simply clueless. It is not about Trump or Obama or Clinton. Whenever foreign policy is concerned, Democrats and Republicans are one. If you understand US foreign policy in Africa and the world in the last 50 years, you will not make this intellectually bankrupt statement of yours. |
TecM0:I am not sure you saw the scenes from the US post George Floyd. |
Philadelphia:Oga, you are wrong. Col (Dr) Ahmadu Ali was the PDP NWC Chairman under OBJ. In 1978 he was Minister of Education under the same OBJ. |
Goodman247:Hahaha. I have already moved with my whole family. Be there shouting scam. |
Jabioro:At last. Someone remembers the SAP riots of 1989 and the protests of 1994 for MKO's mandate where Abacha ordered soldiers to Lagos streets with tanks to kill more than 4000 people. No be today Nigerian army begin slaughter civilians. Even then Brigadier Paul Okuntimo and Lieutenant Obi Umahi (Ebonyi Gov's brother) slaughtered more than 3000 Ogonis in the early 90s. |
Grupo:There are 15 countries on the list. UAE just opened such a visa. You only need to prove you make $5000 a month, present 3 months bank statement to prove this, apply with $268, get international medical insurance from providers such as Now Intl or Best Doctors, and you get a 1-year residency which is renewable. You pay no income tax. |

.. I keep on saying it.. Una too dey overhype the US for nothing.. Compare the peaceful, transparent and mature elections conducted in Nigeria, under the administration of president Mohammadu Buhari with the disastrous, immature and shady election currently going on in the US, and you will agree with me that the Nigeria electoral system is far more advanced than that of the United States of America, under Buhari's administration..
As in trump has been president for three centuries or his four years has been God's gift to America.? Trump's grandfather migrated from Germany and his grand mother from Scotland.
