The way you guys insult elderly people cos of politics on this forum is not cool oooo

Calling people old enough to be your fathers and grandfathers derogatory names is not cool even if you don't like or agree with the person's politics


I dnt like the way the country is at the moment too but calling people names would nt solve the challenges the country is facing

I know u ur family and generation had gladly accepted sufferings and poverty as your family daily anthem,but that doesn't mean that others should accept it just as you have done

US senators have been accused of falling asleep, playing games and breaking other rules during President Donald Trump's impeachment trial.

Jim Risch and Jim Inhofe are among members who have apparently nodded off during the lengthy hearings.

Crossword puzzles, fidget spinners and at least one paper airplane have been spotted with senators.

The trial has heard that Mr Trump's alleged abuse of power threatens American democracy.

The senators are acting as the jury to decide whether the president should be removed from office.

The upper chamber of US Congress prides itself as a hallowed sanctum of decorum.

But some of its members - Republican and Democrat alike - have this week been accused by US media of acting like bored schoolchildren.

Trump impeachment trial: All you need to know
Democrats lay out abuse of power case
Why is 'pettifogging' suddenly in the news?
The rules call for senators to remain seated during the impeachment trial.

But at least nine Democrats and 22 Republicans left their seats at various times on Thursday, according to Reuters news agency.

They included Democratic White House hopefuls Bernie Sanders, Amy Klobuchar and Michael Bennet.

Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican, defended herself on Thursday after she was spotted reading a book in the chamber.

''NO CRIME NO IMPEACHMENT IS THAT THE RULE"

The Trump impeachment story explained
Trump impeachment - your questions answered
She tweeted that the tome - How Trump Haters Are Breaking America, by Kim Strassel - "provides good insights into today's proceedings".

"Busy mamas are the best at multi-tasking," she added. "Try it."

Mr Risch, a Republican who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was seen this week slumped motionless with his eyes closed at his desk during the hearings.

A spokesman for the Idaho senator denied he had been asleep, telling the Wall Street Journal he was just listening closely "with his eyes closed or cast down".

Mr Inhofe, an Oklahoma Republican, was spotted on Wednesday by an NBC reporter appearing to briefly doze off before he was nudged by Senator Todd Young, an Indiana Republican who sits next to him.

Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat, was observed leaning on his right arm with his hand covering his eyes for 20 minutes.

On Thursday, Richard Burr, a North Carolina Republican, handed out fidget spinners, a children's toy, to fellow senators to help them while away the hours in the chamber.

"I saw somebody grab up a few of them, so they must have some real anxiety going along with this," said Mike Braun, an Indiana Republican. He said he did not require one of the gizmos.

Phones, laptops and tablets are a regular accessory during normal Senate hearings, but all electronics have been banned in the chamber for this trial, leaving many restless.

Pat Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, was heard drawling "my precious" as he retrieved his phone from the cubby outside the chamber.

Some senators have apparently found a way around the strict rules by wearing smart watches.

Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, reportedly worked on a crossword puzzle and made a paper airplane as Democratic prosecutors laid out their case on Wednesday.

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Democratic front-runner for the 2020 White House nomination, was spotted by an ABC News reporter playing an unspecified game on paper.

Talking is banned on the floor during arguments and senators are daily admonished by the Senate sergeant-at-arms to remain silent during proceedings "on pain of imprisonment".

But on Wednesday, two Republicans - Tim Scott of South Carolina and Ben Sasse of Nebraska - threw caution to the wind and began whispering after hours of passing notes to each other.

There are also strict rules against food, but senators have been spotted munching chocolate and chewing gum.

Press access to the chamber has been heavily restricted during the Senate trial, meaning there are fewer cameras to catch senators' unguarded moments.

But other senators have appeared to pay close attention to the trial with some diligently taking notes.

Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, was observed scribbling away with what appeared to be a quill pen.

Mr Trump is only the third president ever to be impeached, but he is unlikely to be convicted in a chamber that is controlled by his fellow Republicans.

Before Thursday's arguments began, some Republican senators said they had heard nothing new in Democratic prosecutors' arguments and had already made up their mind to clear the president. A two-thirds majority votes is required to remove Mr Trump from office.

So when you meet(in Jihad) those who disbelieve, smite their necks till when you have killed & wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly.



Thereafter, either for generosity or ransom, until the war lays down its burden.Thus you're ordered by Allah to continue in carrying out jihad against the disbelievers till they embrace islam & are saved from the punishment in the hellfire or @ least come under your protection, but if it had been Allah's will, he himself could certainly have punished them(without you)...."
-Sura 47:4

Well that dream is achievable but not through government, but instead individual domestic purchase of solar..

Just like water board gave us hell, then bore-hole came into existence, that's how electricity will become some day..

All we need is foreign investors and local entrepreneurs that will bring about competition to beat down the current high rate of solar panels, that all landlords can have access to it.

solar can't be the permanent solution,wen u dey watch American or chinese film shey u see how every house or skyscraper get solar panel abi

DCmonster:
Crocodile will soon smile on ewedu gobbling cowards. You now want oduduwa Republic after betraying Biafrans and your southern brothers in 2015 election. Yorubas should know that they will never have AMOTEKUN NOR ODUDUWA REPUBLIC and neither will they ever get the presidency in 2023. The Fulani will continue to rule until you yorubas feel the pain Igbos felt and see the vision they saw years ago. Bunch of educated illiterate cowards.

Imagine a woman thinking this way. One man will Marty this woman one day, and that's the beginning

I bet u didnt read the post!! !

asaba massacre was pepetutrated by nigerian troops during the civil war three months into the commencement of the war. Nigerian troops marched on asaba and launched a genocide against it's inhabitants but we have learnt some valuable lessons
1.U CANT BE A FRIEND TO AN ENEMY:asaba people been massacred thought that by claiming one nigeria and supporting the fulani/hausa army they would be spared,but reverse was the case as they were taught lessons why u shouldn't play with a viper why thinking it's a rope
2.U PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE FOR BETRAYAL:asaba indigenes paid an ultimate price by refusing to join biafra in the war,even when biafrans troops were retreating into onitsha they were forwarned but u see,they taught that they would embrace the Nigerian troops with cultural dance and love but it turned out to be a day they wont live to remember because that led to their horrible end
3.WHAT YOU PLANT IS WHAT U REAP:those who led the genocide col muthala Mohammed and major ibrahim taiwo learntbthis the hard way they came with guns and massacred harmless civilians they too were assainated just as they did to innocent people
4.ONE NIGERIA IS A SCAM:one Nigeria is a dream and sleep is a cousin to death,u see Nigeria is too divided culturally and religiously,to sum it up,u can't be at peace with the northerners/fulanis if u try to do dat u will make a step forward and six steps backwards
the blood of the innocent in Nigeria shall never be invane

Adaibeku:
Someone from okpanam delta carried out the political killings and they told u igbos( new eastern states) are the cause n u believed them shouting one Nigeria ,
....fulani get sense ,just to collect power from igbos they pushed yorubas and co to act of nonsensical genocide ,

Asaba people no mercy from me ,u are all wicked ndi Nzuzu ,

Asaba people taught that been a friend to a jihadi led army would save them but it was a lie,instead of supporting biafrans they ended up as betrayers??

Sokosuji:
I sense trepidation in this herdsman who has been running amok on nairaland since amuatoka saw came into limelight...


Hilarious tho

Na u b herdsman

theenchanter:
Just as a leopard's prey knows no peace, so as all Amotekun's naysayer will be.

If u like, create 1million and 1 monikers to disparage Amotekun, even if u like, roast urself like asun, na chop amotekun go chop una.

ur so called amotekun will run and quiver when the FG will release lions to pounce on it

Zeemam:
Amotekun is a community policing and the VP always emphasized on community policing. Get your answer from this

but the FG had declared it illegal

Banmeallday:
We Biafrans support it! We even support the outright formation of Oduduwa Republic...


So the OP is on his own

NLIA hereby declare u as a Yoruba man disguising as an Igbo man

chairman

PicLtd:
Mind you business, you do not speak for Igbos.

The best position for to take in the Amotekun issue is neutrality, even though we know those who are always against Igbo interest everyday, everytime are now the ones wearing the shoe and taking the pills.

are u for us or against us,if against us we will expel u to oduduwa land

joyandfaith:
giant amotekuns.

until then mafo! !

my attention had been drawn to the news circulating round claiming that igbos support operation amotekun that the yorubas had declared.as a matter of fact I hereby declare on behalf of my Igbo brothers that the yorubas are alone on this their so-called operation,yorubas can't be trusted hence we igbos hereby DENOUNCE SUPPORT FOR OPERATION AMOTEKUN
signed
Chairman
nairaland igbo association
(NLIA)

meolaniyi:
The fulanis can not use politics to divide us. We are yorubas before politics of APC or PDP
this is for the interest of the Yorubas and the South. I know very well that Igbos will never go against us.
most of the comments abusing Yorubas here using Igbo monikers are well known.

The average Igbo man will be happy that this security outfit stays.
the days of division in the south is gone that is why the fulanis are jittery

on behalf of my brothers from the SE we hereby denounce support for amotekun

when amotekun jam python and buffalo na body go tell am

joyandfaith:
there are 30millions amotekun in south west.

babe amotekuns that had barely grown teeth's I guess
