A slap on the face of PDP

Lolz garbage now trying to present itself as mere rubbish.

All the "Ipob" chanters are no better although a certain group seems to have taken hate, vitriol and self - pity to a whole new level. But you're right, Nairaland has descended to a whole new low and Seun is doing nothing about it. I think after 11 years here its time I left. To find another nigerian forum with news and entertainment, even gossip that won't leave me feeling besmirched, sad and hopeless.

Unfortunately he is courting this sort of vileness in a short sighted belief that it will move market. Indeed leaving gutteland sorry nairaland seems to be the option left.

DropShot:
Most of what Trump said during campaign are just idealism. Not pragmatism.

Soon, he will be humbled when he realizes that certain things can't just happen no matter how hard you try. He has to operate within the dictates of the Constitution and not much can be done outside it.

On the international front, he will also realize that he has to protect certain interests against his wish in return for other advantages elsewhere. For example, he doesn't want USA to continue to support NATO without those NATO countries paying for the cost of such protection. But withdrawing such support gives Russia more power and influence in Europe and other regions which ultimately makes Russia become more powerful, influential and domineering in world affairs.

Suddenly, he will realize he cannot afford to play a second fiddle to Russia since America still wants the bragging right as the most powerful nation on earth. Russia understands his naivety and it's the reason Putin prefers him being a complete novice in the power play.

The reality will hit him sooner than later.

Spot on. ... unless he truly believed republicans are serially daft people who believe anything they hear on fox he will find out soon that the world doesn't work like the apprentice show where everything is scripted.

DropShot:
When will some of you grow sense?

We don't operate on same level boy. We belong in different classes even though we Nairaland together.

nairaland should be called gutter land how do people use tribalistic slurs like afonja with no provocation whatsoever and get no ban? This platform is a huge failure as long as people cannot state an opinion that comes without any ethnic rationale receiving such vitrol and hate and yet no real concerted effort to halt such idiotic behavior.

maclatunji:
None of the 2 candidates is actually Muslim-friendly. However, if you are going to think strategically, Trump is a better candidate for the world. He is likely to remove America from its hypocrisy and make it more easier to relate with. It is not like China and Russia for example love Muslims but we can easily understand what they think, what they are doing and react accordingly.

The Americans over the years have always tried to present themselves to be friendly to Muslim interests but act the opposite, they are not easy to manage and relate with.

A lot of Trump's threats about Muslims in America are not easily implementable because of their constitution and institutions. You just need to look at Libya and Syria to see that Hilary is bad news.

Yes Russia and China understands Muslims very well, one will bombed you to death and pretend you all are terrorist, the other will outlaw fasting during Ramadan and lock you up for letting your kids fast while doubling down on flooding your towns with Hans to change the demography to make you a minority in a land you use to be a majority.... very perfect understanding of Muslims! NOT!

A real Political Her[/s]

Haba you can post better than this nah

Clinton having conceded a bitterly contested elections to her opponent clearly shows that loosing an election is not the end of the world. Country comes first above party, ethnicity and ideology. We see the spectrum of very disenchanted individuals who due to electoral have undergone intense and uncontrollable outpouring of emotions which have made them wish evil befall their country just to satisfy their feelings of bitterness and emptiness.

Hilary's actions of conceding the elections shows that there is life after the elections and that it does not signify the end of the world. I pray ipobians and their allies take heart and let the hate inside of them die.

Appleyard:
Dear brother, you know quite well Assad didn't start all these. The man is simply fighting for the right of his people.

By killing, maiming and destroying Syrians and Syria is how assad fights for his people? Wow you can think better than that. Can you honestly, honorably and bravely tell us how many innocent people assad/russia/Iran alliance has killed?
Is one man governing a country worth so much death and destruction?
At least the US is honorably enough to admit they kill civilians but does pootine and assad have the human decency to admit their civilian killings?

That's all we ask of you Russian trolls be honorable to admit wrong doing...defending blood shed is a very disgraceful thing to do for any sane human being.

Trump low on sensible points and high on lies and divisive rhetorics.

CLEVELAND—Here is a line from Donald Trump’s speech to the nation, delivered Thursday at the Republican National Convention. It comes early in the speech, part of his broad case that the United States is soaked in blood and rife with chaos.


JAMELLE BOUIE
Jamelle Bouie is Slate’s chief political correspondent.

“Decades of progress made in bringing down crime are now being reversed by this administration’s rollback of criminal enforcement. Homicides last year increased by 17 percent in America’s 50 largest cities. That’s the largest increase in 25 years.”

At best, this is a half-truth. The federal government isn’t responsible for local crime prevention, but even if it were, the national homicide rate is at a 40-year low, according to the FBI. Homicides have increased in the nation’s largest cities but from low baselines unseen since the 1960s. There are still areas of high violent crime, but overall, Americans are safer now than they’ve been in a generation.

It’s not clear Donald Trump knows that. But it’s obvious he doesn’t care. The point is not to give the public an accurate sense of its safety. The point is to paint a picture of disorder and violence, to scare Americans into flocking under Trump’s banner. And to that end, he has crafted a demagogic speech of lies, misrepresentations, and plain, unadulterated bullshit.

Consider this, another “fact” from Trump’s address: “Nearly 180,000 illegal immigrants with criminal records, ordered deported from our country, are tonight roaming free to threaten peaceful citizens.”

This is the first of Trump’s dubious assertions of immigrant crime. And it’s nonsense, a “fact” without provenance beyond the nativist and white supremacist websites that form the fetid swamps of the internet.

The truth is that unauthorized immigrants are far less crime-prone than their native-born counterparts. According to one analysis of 2010 Census data, just 1.6 percent of immigrant males ages 18 to 39 were incarcerated, compared with 3.3 percent of native-born males. According to a report from the Center for Investigative Reporting, 4 out of 5 arrests for drug smuggling on the U.S.-Mexico border involved American citizens. There is no credible analysis that shows a meaningful connection between unauthorized immigrants and violent crime or otherwise. And that’s before we get to the most important fact of the immigration debate: Barack Obama has deported more immigrants than any other president before him.

Or how about this assertion? “The irresponsible rhetoric of our president, who has used the pulpit of the presidency to divide us by race and color, has made America a more dangerous environment than, frankly, I have ever seen and anybody in this room has ever watched or seen.”

It’s ludicrous. As I’ve written, there’s no reading of President Obama’s rhetoric on race and racism—from shootings by police, like those in Ferguson and elsewhere, to shootings of police, in Dallas and Baton Rouge—to support the claim that he’s “dividing” by race and color. And it’s not borne out by the numbers. Obama’s approval rating stands over 50 percent. He has overwhelming support from black Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans. A substantial minority of whites also back him. If there’s a figure in American life who is dividing the country by race and color, it is Donald Trump, who crashed onto the national scene with a campaign of breathtaking bigotry against immigrants and Muslims, who has broadcast racist messages and deployed anti-Semitic propaganda.

The whole speech was a trash heap of falsehoods. At one point, Trump claimed that Obama had almost doubled the national debt. It actually increased from $11.1 trillion to $19.2 trillion. He described an America of record unemployment and disadvantage. Even granting the decline in labor force participation, there are more Americans working now than at any point in the past 10 years, with two years of the strongest

He described an America of record unemployment and disadvantage. Even granting the decline in labor force participation, there are more Americans working now than at any point in the past 10 years, with two years of the strongest private sector job growth since the 1990s. He attacked the administration’s Iran deal for giving the nation “$150 billion” (false). He accused Obama and Hillary Clinton of opening the United States to “massive refugee flows” (false) and suggested there’s no screening of refugees (also false).

The most egregious part of Trump’s speech deals with trade. It’s where he sells a simplistic story and makes outlandish, unrealistic promises to renege on and renegotiate America’s trade deals. As the Economic Policy Institute explained to Greg Sargent of the Washington Post—after Trump cited EPI’s work on manufacturing—Trump on trade is “is a scam that seems to be offering a path for workers but actually just offers mostly empty boxes on trade and steers the discussion back toward the traditional corporate agenda.”

Scam. This gets to the essential truth of Trump’s speech. The world as described by Trump doesn’t exist. The Trump as described by Trump doesn’t exist. As a businessman, Donald Trump’s career is defined by failure, fraud, and mismanagement. He has little knowledge of domestic and foreign affairs and shows little interest in the basic work of running a campaign, much less serving as president. Remove family members and employees from the mix, and there’s no one in Trump’s orbit—not ghostwriters, not business associates, not former contractors—who will attest to any of the qualities he claimed onstage tonight. The prototypical Trump story isn’t the success of some municipal project; it is theft: from small businesses, from ordinary investors, from desperate students.

Over the past year, Trump has harnessed and deployed bigotry and hate for political gain. He has shown himself to be erratic, intemperate, and dangerously ignorant of the world around him. Despite this, the Republican Party has elevated him with its highest honor and placed him and his authoritarian impulses within reach of the White House.

Nigeria will be great to the consternation of the wailing foggocites

Workers of inequities thunder fire unah

Fayose is exhibiting the sort of patriotism you expect from Progresss Destruction Party

TonyeBarcanista:
Nothing stops him from inviting the management and compel them to pay or go through the courts to compel them to pay.

MetaHuman:
exactly..

I use to respect the dude in religion section as one of the smart ones.. But politics and tribalism has really brought out the dumbness and ediocy in him
He throws logic and facts in to the wind at the alter of bigotry whenever he talks now.

this aptly covers his treacherous character

CACAWA:
its wrong.

Two wrongs can never make a right.

If she retaliates and he harms her, would he be happy?

The reasonable thing to do is report to the authorities, or anyone who can wade in.

Abusive spouse require abuse themselves.

No be only retaliate but kick him in the nut sack. It reminds me when metuh was drinking coolaid with Nigeria's money today then he didn't know how it hurt the vulnerable but today we want to cage him and he is forming sick....so also are useless men who hit their wives unless a similar pain is reciprocated they wil think they are basically massaging their wives faces.

lolz metusa should defend himself instead of falling ill more like feigning illness. Next time if you see govt N5 you will say no thank you.

Demdem:
