IjeBos: That's not what the law did. The law prevented employers from not hiring Black people and minorities that were qualified. So if a qualified Doctor applied to a hospital they would find a way not to hire them because they didn't want a Black doctor. The law made that illegal.
Again you don't get it. The law made it possible to discriminate using race which in fact goes against the American constitution. Trump's executive order cannot overture a constitutional amendment. So you are wrong when you say that.
In fact, let me start by asking, do you know the difference between a constitutional amendment and an executive order? Trump's executive order can not overturn the 14th Amendment. So the idea that Trump created this brand new law that allows for the discrimination of blacks is very far from the truth. The 14th amendment ensures equal treatment understand the law
Starzo: Oya make una explain this thing to me well...I never get the full picture
Let me give you an example with university admissions. In the past, universities would admit black kids will low scores over the Asian kids with much higher scores in the name of diversity. Under the Democrats, diversity was put ahead of merit. Trump wants merit first. Too me, that makes sense.
Vinod007: You are getting the meaning of equality and diversity wrong. What Trump is promoting is the opposite of equality and diversity. He is saying there should no longer be equality in employment opportunities and that it is no longer compulsory that diverse group from different colour and culture are given opportunities for employment.
Oga you get it wrong. He is saying that everyone is given the same opportunity. Under Biden, LGBTQ, and minorities were given an unequal and many times undeserved preference over whites and Asians. Now it will be 100% merit based.
drips8: He's basically giving employers the right to discriminate based on race, gender and sexuality.
The opposite sir. You really did not understand. Trump is preventing employers from discriminating based on race. He wants employment to be merit based. He is putting an end to the quota system.
ValCon888: Welcome to the new world order. The order of white supremacy. His black slaves in Nigeria will still applaud this initiative.
The US as it stands is already rigged against people of color. Abolishing DEI will further widen the already gigantic gap of inequality in the country.
You kids just start insulting without understanding. You don't need to look to America to know that DEI doesn't work. Here in Nigeria, a kid from Kano needs to score less that half of what a kid from Anambra needs to earn a place in a federal government college. Has that improved the standard in Kano? Learn from your country. Merit works.
EmperorCaesar: Moving the USA to more conservative society
There are over 1miliion Africans over there and i wonder what the future holds for those still unemployed
I guess this wouldnt affect international staffs of a U.S company working remotely from their countries
All Trump is say is employment and admissions should be merit based. As for the Africans in the US, many of them are very qualified in their vocations. From doctors to nurses, Africans have earn their place in the American society. I am not talking about African Americans oh. Those ones deserve another chapter.
Image123: Charity has little to do with rational intelligence.There is NOTHING wrong with the government being a little bit philantrophic no matter how you paint it. There will always be needs, so again it doesn't kill to spare 0.04% of your budget for some needy citizens. It is not my fault if it does not make sense to you, thankfully it makes sense to the thousands of other Nigerians involved in approving and processing it. What qualifies as transparent for you? Or you think Tinubu is the one personally sharing palliatives for the FG? What are uniform qualificaions for getting aid? Please be informed that qualifications vary, stop this flagrant misinformation, or kindly provide proof. 2024 budget allocated ₦1.23 trillion to health. 2025, ₦2.48 trillion, which is 5.18% of the total budget. But of course, swallow the camel and strain at the gnat, mr lives saver.
As I proved earlier, it does kill especially in a country like Nigeria even if it's only 0.001% of you budget flushed down the drain in unaccounted Charity projects. I have nothing against individual charities but tax payer money must be spent in the most accountable and sustainable way. The debate here is not about what makes sense to me or what makes sense to your thousands of corrupt politicians and their followers, it's about pulling this country from the mud and saving us from leaders who use their shady charities to loot and their supporters who would go to any length to defend them online. Oga, do you in your honest mind believe that N2. 48 trillion is enough for the health sector? After that money is spent, would our health centers look less shity? The amount may seem big to you but is it big enough for the purpose it was meant for? If yes, then we can talk about your charity project and only if your process is transparent.
Nijablast: You hate your country? You must be a bast@d.
That's actually not the definition of a bastard. I understand anyone who hates Nigeria. The country kills dream and destroys hope. But some of us choose to believe. So don't call those who this country has shown shege bastards. This country is not their father. It is the creation of the British.
LegacyB: Hahaha 😂. Those Nigerian American wannabe supporters of Trump would love this news.
This has nothing to do with loving or hating the news. The only question you should be asking is, how do we as a nation turn this to our advantage. This means we could have more oil to refine locally. We could export more refined products like Singapore does even without producing a drop of crude. We could build our national oil reserves to sell at a higher price in times of shortage. This is a time for critical thinking instead of looking for who to yab on Nairaland. This is a time to grow up.
Image123: Building roads and hospitals helps everyone, not just the poor. Helping the poor exclusively includes giving of palliatives. Giving money and foodstuff which are what palliatives usually entail is done by different sets of people and organisations and it's okay if the government does it, as the different regions, religions, parties and states also agree to. Charity or giving fish is never sustainable in the sense but it's not discarded in any part of the globe, neither is it uniform as needs will always differ. Again, i am on the side of giving as long as it doesn't kill and doesn't stop other important things. The FG is giving and i support it fully, irrespective of whoever is in power.
If you could help the poor as well as help everyone with the same money isn't that far more intelligent than given out a few meals to the poor? Now how many people did your government pull out of poverty last year? So in other parts of the world, there are welfare programs but that is a standard and it is just and fair. Let me ask you, how does one qualify for Tinubu"s palliative? How does the government decide who gets what? If the process is not transparent as we both know it isn't, then it is a waste. At least we both can agree on this. Again, if the process is not continuous and guaranteed, meaning, the poor continues to get food until they are out of poverty, then what is the purpose?
You also lied when you say aid is not uniform in other parts of the world. In Europe and the united states, you need to meet uniform qualifications to get welfare. That way, the system isn't easily corrupted. In Tinubu's Nigeria government has not for once published the qualifications for these aid. Even you can smell corruption here.
You are again very wrong in saying that giving away money doesn't kill and it doesn't stop other important things. You and I can both mention 1000 important things the government could have done with that money. And in a very poor country like Nigeria, every wasted Kobo kills someone. Have you been to any of our federal medical centers? They look like death houses. Thousands die every year because these hospitals are so messed up. 10 billion in an FMC would save many lives. So stop pretending that your government is so rich and had solved the major problems and all that is left is to give the poor a few meals.
Image123: Great progress, at least you agree that there are ongoing sustainable projects. Great also that you asked and did not assume that i am claiming that they are enough. So it's basically a matter of different life perspectives and philosophies. You think since money is not enough, it's a waste to help the poor at all as there are more pressing needs, i don't think so. Thankfully many people don't think so too. Not just Aso Rock but including all the state governors and senators, including yours that vote in, and share some form of palliatives. Like i said earlier on, money can never be enough for the poor anywhere in the world. It's still frontpage news today on this forum that they announced to share more palliatives. https://www.nairaland.com/8321698/hardship-70-million-nigerians-get All your governors, senators, house of reps, local government chairmen and councillors subscribe to and will struggle to get their share. Keep hiding your head in the sand claiming holier than thou apparently because e no reach you. Now lastly, show me the last time that life expectancy of the average Nigerian was good, thanks.
Oga you get me wrong. I never said you shouldn't help the poor. Remember, building roads and hospitals help the poor. Investing in oil and gas helps the poor. But it becomes a waste when you can't help in a sustainable way and when your giving of aid is not uniform or just. The aid of the current government can't change the lived of the poor. You know it and I know it. Now you speak of Aso rock, the state governors and the senators but you forget that these are the very people that improvised us. We would be wise not to accept their opinions. Finally, you say I am claiming holier just because 8 am against a government that is destroying our country. Well I don't have a reply to that. You have only showed whose side you are.
MindHacker9009: Tell yourself that you will fine as long as you just keep reading the medication I've given you.
So here are your repeat medication below that might help clear all the junk from your mind:
Some historical accounts suggest that Constantine's army included Christian soldiers and even a Christian legion. There are stories about Constantine having Christian symbols on his soldiers' shields during battles, including the famous "In hoc signo vinces" (In this sign, you will conquer) vision. So these are the same Christians that were being persecuted in Rome.
Paul the Apostle's ministry likely spanned from approximately AD 34 to AD 67 but Paul did not mention about Christians in Rome being persecuted in AD 64.
This is what the Jews have in their Talmud that's even if you know the meaning of The Talmud: "On the eve of Passover, they hanged Yeshu. And the herald went out before him for forty days, saying, 'He is going to be stoned because he has practiced sorcery and enticed Israel to apostasy. Anyone who knows anything in his favor, let him come and declare it.' But they did not find anything in his favor, and they hanged him on the eve of Passover."
"It was taught: Yeshu had five disciples, Matthai, Nakai, Nezer, Buni, and Todah. These are the names of the disciples of Yeshu who were hanged."

The life expectancy in our dear Nigeria is 56.36 years while that of war torn Gaza is 73 years for men and 76.8 years for women. Who is guilty for the genocide in Nigeria. Is suspect Israel, what say you?
Image123: Are roads and electricity sustainable projects? Is education and health sustainable project? Is agriculture sustainable project? Just to mention a few, there are projects ongoing and budgetted for inall these areas and ministries. If you somehow believe this one from the budget but refuse to believe those other ones in the budget, it is your hypocrisy not mine. Giving can never be enough in any part of the world. You are free to correct me with facts on where giving is enough in the world. Throwing out the baby with the bath water therefore removes the human face in governance. Thankfully, governance is not just the opinion of tctrills but a collective opinion of many who feel otherwise. i have not heard that your 120million people have since die since they did not get enough palliative, so it's advisable you keep your alarmist mind in check.
Oga what are you saying? Yes we have road projects and hospitals, these are sustainable but are you making the claim that these are enough. You seem to be saying that your gov has built enough roads electricity plants educational institutions and hospitals that they can now waste the remaining 0.04% of the budget. I am of the opposing view that even if 100% of the budget was spent on sustainable projects, it still wouldn't be enough so why waste even a Kobo on unsustainable projects. You also say that you are thankful that government is not just my opinion and I agree with you but clearly the collective opinion in Aso rock is doing a very bad job. That is why Nigeria is one of the poorest and deadliest places on health. Maybe, just maybe the opinion of tctrills isn't that bad compared to the vampires you voted into power. Lastly, you say you have not heard that the poor in Nigeria are dying and I wonder where you get your news from. The life expectancy of the average Nigerian is 52.68 year. This is even less than that of Gaza. Oga, Nigerians are dropping like flies. And poverty is the number 1 cause of the low life expectancy.

Lol My boy look at your symptoms. You posts the same thing on and on. You keep posting that ugly skull with shit in it. If you had any sense you would know that no one cares about the ugly skull. But I believe you derive some weird pleasure from it. You are a cry for help. I really wish I knew you better to help you.
saphiere: We see being a single parent as a man as 'Cool' but being a single parent as a woman as an abomination.
Why they hate? Even when we know that most single mothers and good women. Situations put them in that position.
I tare for my naija guys o.
Do you even know the meaning of hate? You need to stop exaggerating your situation. Just because I don't want to marry a single mom doesn't mean I hate her.
MindHacker9009: You are the one with mental issues that's why you believe a storybook character is the real the son of your god and you result to name calling if others do not agree with your f00lishness. When you get better and you up grow up you will stop referring to a storybook character as real and will accept with gladness when I teach you sensible stuff.
Lol child. You have just proven to the world that you are not ok. Just because one is a Christian doesn't mean he is sick. But then how would you know? If I had allowed you, you will keep repeating the same thing in every comment but you think you are the only one normal. I honestly wish I can help you. You are a very sick child.
Originalsly: I am not ....but I don't eat everything that has flesh. Some people do ...be like beasts ....and some even be like vultures ...eating carcass.(Remember the thread about a dead whale that washed up on a beach some time ago? .... the vultures wasted no time.)
So you choose the animals you eat but feel others who choose the other animals are beasts. You want to be the food police right?
You seem to have a thing for low quality arts. Anyway you know where to find me when you have humbled yourself, researched , studied and you are able to present intelligent answers. Peace my boy
Image123: Clearly a case of focusing on the gnat and stubbornly swallowing the camel. Your so called sustainable projects are littered over the over 99.95%. Giving is not a waste, some people were helped, some poor people smiled, some poor people didn't go hungry. While i am of the teach a man how to fish instead of giving him fish school, i clearly accept that some men need fish as an emergency before they can later be taught to fish. 10k even 2k can help some people and it has. FG has every constitutional right to give, just like any other institution or philanthropy.
Really, you think Nigeria is littered with projects? That is very laughable. The so called 99.5% is not even enough for the very few projects and that's why your government results in borrowing every year. Now let's talk about the act of giving. Your government has over 120 million people in poverty. What qualifies a person to benefit from the 10 billion? Clearly, most poor Nigerians are left out from this scheme making it unfair to most. Yes, if you give a poor man a plate of rice he will smile but the question remains, how sustainable is the scheme? 10 billion naira cannot feed 1% of the poor in Nigeria one meal a day for the entire year. Think about that. So you mean to tell me that government launching a program that feeds less than 1% of the poor is just and fair and not a terrible use of money because in Your words, some people will smile? Let's do some maths here, assuming that not a Kobo of the money is stolen, and the government gives 2k to each person, it would only touch 5 million people in a country with more than 120 million people in poverty. That's a very foolish use of government money. It's unfair to the other 115 million hungry people. And it's not even sufficient to feed the recipients for 5 days. Yes they would smile but you have not solved their problem, you only delayed it by less than 5 days and the money is gone.
MindHacker9009: You are the small boy that is using ChapGPT as your historian. All you have been feed with are the garbage you have been spewing out here.
Go and learn how to do proper research when you grow up then you can discuss intellectual stuff here
Ok boy point out anything I said that is false. Then we can talk. Or point to one historian that disproves the ministry of Christ. Thank goodness you have finally stopped repeating words over and over again. I suspected you have mental issues. You are a strange kid but I wish you well in your journey of self discovery.
Softmirror: Lol 😂. Always talking about Nigeria. This lady can't do without Nigeria. Nigeria is everything to her. TOUGH LOVE. . It means, without Nigeria this lady would have had nothing to campaign intelligently with.
I like people like you who always see a light even when you are in a pit of shit. Some how you made Nigeria's backwardness sound like a great thing that Kemi can't do without. You are a real genius.

My boy, you keep saying things you can't prove. And you keep avoiding my question and repeating yourself. I would allow you to go do some research and return when you have something meaningful. Run along my boy. I promise to respond to you when you come up with a better argument. I am tired 9f you repeating the same nonsense
Image123: Unfortunately, the country is not run by one person but based on collective interests. Many states asked for palliatives and many even still ask for subsidies. The FG cannot unanimously remove the feeding bottle without providing some cushion. The 2024 budget had a total expenditure of NGN 27.5 trillion. This 10billion naira is about 0.04% of the budget. The over 99.95% of the remaining can be spent on more sustainable projects. This doesn't kill.
Palliatives are not in our constitution so the federal government can remove it. And for a very poor country like Nigeria, every 0.04% of our budget matters to a serious government. Once again, let me clearly state that the States do not decide how the federal budget is spent. I also think that it is a bit irresponsible to assume that 0.04% of the budget wasted would not hurt or kill in a country where people die of poverty. Every Kobo wasted would ultimately lead to death one way or the other. We can't afford to waste a Kobo without deadly results in a country like 9ja
