Examples and evidences of the instances where Trump called for serious security breaches or keep shut forever.

When you are certified for good comprehension skills, you can quote this with evidence. Then, we can have a mature discussion. Until then, let me copy you, keep shut forever.

RedPhoenix:
Go and die. All the bloodshed and I your security chives still there feasting on the souls of the departed you full. Here is a man that knows how to call the shots, not a living dead

Calm down, it is not a good thing to start comparing statistics of people who are dead or arguing numbers of people that died under each administration. What I can tell you is that under Jonathan and his Security Chiefs, hundreds of thousands souls where lost.

Whatever description you are given to Buhari administration, just accept same for Jonathan. As for Trump hundreds of thousands of Americans (highest in the world) have died of Coronavirus with millions of Americans affected as a result of Trump actions and policies. So, you can see how Trump is feasting, according to you, on the souls of the departed.

As for your first 3 words, you can see you take interest in death of people, how are you better than the person you are accusing of feasting on the souls of the departed?

See them hailing Trump, just because your Defense Secretary doesn't support your recent moves, which can cause serious security breach to the nation. You fired him and replace him immediately.

If it was Buhari that did this, from not conceding election lost to firing all those with differing opinions, he will be dictator but Trump doing same thing is the real niggar.

The hypocrisy of "this set of people" is beyond Satan understanding.

Don't they said conveyers of #EndSARS protest hide under a hidden agenda and ulterior motives? Politicians disguising as activists are worst than bad governance and brutality of SARS.

Which SARS are they ending again? Even SWAT has been suspended if not buried.

Anybody that falls for this second waves of protest is not intelligent and not smart.

I received a WhatsApp message from my friend on the recent Premium Times report of untold stories of Lekki Shooting. Here are the analysis and opinions of my friend.

Highlights from the videos and stories are:

1. They heard gunshots. This has been established and no one denied this.

2. Army and Police, some names were even mentioned, killed and took bodies away. Known allegations, yet 11 days now, their friends and families were not looking or speaking out for them. Some says they were afraid to speak out because they feared the FG? The excuse shock me ooo, naa so they loved the dead reach? Please, tell these people to come out and speak, I beg.

3. The gunshots wounded some of the villagers. Here is what we are saying, there were shootings but the bullet as seen can NEVER be a live bullet. It wounds but has not been recorded to have killed. The 2 deaths were as a result of complications, they died days after the shooting that night.

4. There was stampede, people get wounded in the process, no mention of deaths but we know there could be high possibility of deaths in stampede. Anyway, no evidence or mention for such from the news report.

5. People ran into the water and some were rescued. Here too, there are possibilities of people getting drown and some may have died. Going by know fact, waters always returned dead bodies, after 3 to 7 days, were are now in 11th days. Maybe we should wait for 14 or 21 days before we conclude on this.

6. Oh we have 1 dead body floating on the water now. Yes, there was a body floating on the water, unfortunately the reporter never made mention of whether there was gunshot wound on the man. The only thing established there is there were no blood stains on the man's clothes. Who knows if it was as a result of number 5 above.

7. Hospitals were said to have received instruction to sent lists of people they were treating or at their mortuaries. They alleged that they are afraid to sent the list, even if they were afraid, what about the families of the dead people? They too are afraid to mention where their love one were kept pending Burial? Please, tell them to contact Arise TV or DJ Switch, at least, these people will protect their identity or better come out to the inquiry panel to give details.

Remembered that people alleged that the army threw the killed people into the river and move some to Ikeja and the military mortuary. The panel went to military mortuary unannounced, they were delayed for about 10 minutes before they were allowed, according to Arise TV. When they entered, they find empty spaces, the hospital has been built but not yet equipped to . LCC have also been invited with the CCTV footage of the incident.

Like I always advised people, it is better we look at things objectively than with a biased mind or emotions. In all these, there has never been evidence of Genocide, massacre or mass killings , but for the 2 or more people that died and for any unprofessional engagement, we shall pushed for adequate compensation for victims and punishment for any person (civilians, army, police, etc.) that were found wanting .

Hold on...

All Raymond Simon wanted to do was help. But his large heart almost cost him his life. Mr Simon told PREMIUM TIMES he was not at the toll gate when the soldiers shot at protesters. A church instrumentalist, he was at a rehearsal that evening. As he was returning home on his motorcycle, he decided to take some of those injured during the shooting to hospitals.

He said he was returning after making the third trip from nearby Reddington Hospital when he was ambushed by police officers at the toll gate who viciously attacked and abducted him.

“After I was stabbed, they abducted me alongside a corpse. They were driving us around the area and I suspect they were looking for where to abandon the corpse. When they got to Ilasan area, they pushed me down. My hands were tied to the back,” he said.

He said the police officers drove off with the other presumably dead person. He later managed to find his way to a hospital where his wound was stitched, and he was given painkillers before being discharged.

Mr Simon said after he was attacked, one of the police officers tried to shoot him but one of his colleagues pushed him away. He said another officer with a bayonet attached to his rifle aimed to stab him in the neck, but he quickly moved his head and the blade hit his chin.He said his motorcycle was stolen during the attack.

... you mean they actually spared Simon? He was viciously attacked, they stabbed him even though they had gun with them, push him down and tied him up, knowing fully well he is still breathing. And got only stitch and pain killer for treatment. Hmmm... the story get as ẹ be ooo.

Balancing protecting Nigerian sanctity in the media and speaking reality is surely not an easy task.

I doubt this video is from Boko Haram, They always shows their signatures in every videos including their men.

uuzba:
SS3 - Senior Secondary 3
JS3 - Junior Secondary 3

JSS3
Why don't all students use their sense?

I really don't get what you are correcting but the correct acronyms are:

JSS - Junior Secondary School 1 to 3 now Basic School 6 to 9, and
SSS - Senior Secondary School 1 to 3.

Summary poor learning. Remember that learning is sole responsibility of the student. You see, most of this generation of students never want to study but to read and pass. They might not necessarily be cramming, they may just want to read and understand without personalising the material. That is when you see most efikos, they can solve almost all questions but call them to explain or teach you, they will find it difficult.

They understand it at the level of the educators or creator of the learning materials but not at their own level of understanding. They understand the knowledge pass but were unable to break the knowledge down into pieces and build their own personified knowledge. They are knowledge consumers and not knowledge creators.

Studying a learning materials can take you up to 10 times time of ready the material. They display this traits in all social media

angelusbrut:
Please what is the meaning of Soro Soke

sinkhole:
"soro soke" = speak up (or speak louder), if you con add "werey", that is "soro soke, werey" he go con mean "speak up, mad person"

"Werey" in this context means coward.

sinkhole:
On the first part, you help somebody to help yourself, that is how the world moves forward! If the individual researches merits being published in reputable international journals then I do not see reasons why our government will not setup a body to study and use some of these researches for the benefit of Nigeria.
On the second part, ASUU is not a research body, it is a union meant for the welfare of its members. ASUU also make sure that her members follow due process and ethics in the discharge of their duties. The result of the research of the individual ASUU members is to the credit of ASUU in general. ASUU as a body "does not do research" (please note my apostrophe).
Besides, do you know that there is what is called TetFund research grant? The ASUU members are to apply for this and the people that approve are not ASUU members, they people in Abuja. One of the requirement for some of the grants by TetFund is that software and hardware to be used MUST be purchased from some listed companies! Why can't the TetFund, a government body, insist that your software/hardware be locally produced?

StaffofOrayan:
Bros
ASUU is just one damaged cell in the cancerous body called Nigeria,
Let's take hospitals for example, this govt told doctors to leave the country if they wanted to, that Nigeria has enough doctors,
Now we can blame the doctors for not 'forcefully' tabling their demands or ask why the govt (which is made up of civil servants) seems to be so anti people.
Isn't that a more valid question?
The useless executive/legislation just budget ridiculous amounts to themselves in the 2021 budget, a budget funded by loans

Bros let's wake up while we are still young abeg

proffemi:
I had to log in to respond because your post just rubs me off the wrong way.


What do you mean "push"? You mean as in force government to accept their solutions where appropriate? So now, they must not only teach and do research, but also possess government and force uptake??


Convenient way to downplay their contributions, right? You mean the research group that was the first in Africa to sequence the SARS-COV2 coronavirus did it just for promotion? Or that the COVID-19 vaccine they are about to start producing (the only one in Africa that I am aware of) is just for them and their grandmothers


I'm sure you know what a trade union is. So I hope you don't have any unrealistic expectations.
Now for your information, over the years, ASUU has made immense contributions to the nation. If you aren't too young, then you probably know that ASUU was one of the fiercest voices of opposition to successive military juntas.

But closer to their core mandate, ASUU came up with the idea of TETFund, one of the most innovative funding schemes for education anywhere in the world. TETFund is the only reason why the universities are where they are today (they would have entirely collapsed). In fact, the FG now regularly dips into TETFund to fund all sorts of programmes that have nothing to do with tertiary education.

Until what birth #EndSARS happen in educational sector, we will realise that government is not the Executives and Legislators but the people, in this case ASUU and NANS. If education is the bedrock of a national, if the standards of education determined the development level of a nation, then, we should start to search and come to term to who the real drivers of educational sector are. To me, they are the NUT and ASUU, without them, there can't be educational sector and if there is no educational sector, there cannot be a develop nation.

Remember the government are not the executives or the legislators but the people. My submission, Nigeria as a country in real and technical terms, is in the hands of the teachers/lecturer. This is an unwritten and hidden obligations of all educators.

StaffofOrayan:
Has govt accepted their pay solution?
You pretend like you have a govt that gives a crap about you.
Any of their pikin dey naija uni?

First thing first. You give and other accept or reject. If you say you don't give because people will not accept, the first question will be how many people have you given something and they rejected.

In this case, I am talking about ASUU determination to force the government, their employer, to accept their solutions on how they will be paid. So, if we assume ASUU has been providing solutions to Nigeria problems why not forcing the government to accept such solutions, must the force be on issue that will benefit them only?

sinkhole:
I really can not understand your argument but you should note that ASUU members have always been proffering solutions to Nigeria problems, scientifically, technically and socially but government have never been looking their way All their researches end up on the pages of international journals and the whites always feed on these results to add to their own developments

From the post you quoted, it reads develop and push, did they push?

Anyway, for any lecturer to be relevant in his or her fields, to get to be recommended for professorship or maintain his/her professorship; they must write for research journals and publications. And the research must make sense, so, those researches you are referring to may not be for the purpose of helping the government but helping themselves to attain and maintained their career.

And again, you are referring to individual ASUU members and not ASUU as a union. Has ASUU as a union proffer solution(s) to any Nigeria problems before? If at all they have, what did they do to make it a reality? At least in the last 10 years, ASUU must have gone on strike for over 3 years accumulatively to get the government dance to their demands on what and how they MUST be paid.

So our university lecturer can develop solutions to how they can be pay and push for it implementation but can not develop solutions to how Nigeria problems (electricity, government recruitment processes to absolve students they taught, procurement processes, refineries, computerising government processes to eliminate inefficient civil servants, etc.).

Government just approved 20 billion naira for e-procurement, if ASUU has helped the government, they may have been able to help the government to save close to N10bn and force the government to invest it on Nigerian universities.

Wrong headline.

Police Act 2020 was signed last month as confirmed by the reporter, meaning that Police Act 2020 was not in existence as at when the case was filed at the Federal High Court. So, how could a non existing Act be a subject matter in a court of law?

It would have been better the reporter provides us with the copy of the judgement order of at least produced a direct quote of the judgement not his/her interpretation of the judgment.

dederocs:
An activist is not a politician, they do not support anyone or party, but stand for justice, equality and freedom/human rights...An activist checkmate the powers that be to ensure they serve right, what you typed is nonsense...Goodluck has many flaww in his administration, so does Buhari, that womab is a hero, other people from North can agitate too, numbers do the magic. We need to keep putting pressure on these politicians, so they know who is boss #people'spower#

Let us accept she an activist. Why can she used it for her people and her state? Why focusing on Federal Government alone?

You see, what I am saying is why fighting for every other people and ignoring the suffering of your own people? When Sanusi was fighting for girl child empowerment, education, development and against child abuse, early marriage, including not taking care of both boys and girls; those category of children that Patience refers to as "born throw way", where is Aisha Yesufu? When the northerners see to his dethronement where is she? Only El-Rufai, one of the personality that she makes an enemy accepted Sanusi.

Aisha Yesufu activists has political and personal undertone. I wonder why she is not an hero under Jonathan but became one under Buhari.

philipstanley:
I love this fearless woman


If the north can have 10 of this kind of woman believe me they won't be backward


#EndSARS

What has she done for the North where she came from?

While I like her courageous act, why can she put it into girl child empowerment and stopping child marriage?

This same woman did same thing during Jonathan, you cannot always be anti-government. So, she telling us Jonathan is bad, Buhari is also bad, if she knows more about politics and governance, let her vile for the post of Presidency. She would realise that things are not as easy as been thought. APC thought is was easy until they got the power.

He's the Pope, what do U expect him to say? Jesus himself asked us to turn the other cheek but these days we simply punch back... Dat's not the Christianity Christ preached.



I'm sure so many of U are going to b misunderstanding what and why the Pope said what he said...


“A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian,” he said.


Dis is what d Pope means.. D Pope is a Christian leader who only preaches Peace and wouldn't really understand foreign relations.

And he concluded that “We must see if he said things in that way and in this I give the benefit of the doubt.”

Here is the time schedule:

Secondary school: 8:00AM - 4:00PM
University: 8:00AM - 6:00PM

I used to teach some Lebanese and Pakistanis children private lessons from 4:30 to 6:30 in which I make up to N58,000 a month. I have to sacrifice that too if I accept the university work

If your lecturing job is about the post I quoted below, forget about it and enjoy your secondary school job. On your fiancé threat and to-be lecturer wife stuff, those are very clear red flags, never consider that in making your final decision but reconsider your relationship with her.

A known fact is that private universities in Nigeria are just like advanced secondary schools. But with your determination to start PhD, it shows that you have interest in lecturing job. It is easier to complete PhD programmes in Nigeria as a lecturer than being a school teacher.

Emir8:
I was called by PR of Skyline University, Nigeria, located at Kano and we had interviews online. Now, he told me to come down to kano and I'm living in in Niger State. My problem is that Skyline University is an Indian school and I have heard of several stories of how Indian companies treat Nigerians like slaves. Leaving my job in Niger state to go to Kano for screening and verification of my credentials are great sacrifice. Please, is there anyone here who has worked with Skyline University before? I want to know whether it worth it for me to spend my transport and leaving my job for days to go there.

If you believe Maina is in detention, you are even more gullible than bubu followers

So, someone that has been granted and has fulfilled bail conditions with guarantor standing for him should still be in detention?

IamD18:
Possible reasons that made her drank poison for loosing her phone.

-She's addicted to her phone.
-Her phone was her only source of happiness.
-She was not truly loved by her strict parents and had no one to get her another phone.
-Her parents are financially incapable of getting her another phone.
-She had no one to talk to when the suicide thought came in.

In all, the engineering factor of this fvckery was her addiction to her phone. She couldn't do without it, reason I won't fault anyone but her.

Or she will not be able to bear the shame that may follow if the person who stole the phone decides to bring the content in the phone to online social media. Who knows, she may even know the person that stole it and the reasons for stealing it.

Those reasons are not enough to commit suicide for slay queen like her. Or better she committed the suicide based on reasons far different from her loosing her phone.

MaxInDHouse:
What is Hellfire?

You quoted the words of the last prophet in the order of the old covenant (John the baptist) he was talking about our Master, Lord and King Christ Jesus.
He meant Jesus will establish pure worship forever and all those who aren't ready to worship God acceptably will be destroyed for good!
Though he used symbolic terms that's a bit difficult for ordinary readers to grasp so we move closer to Jesus' brothers (born again Christians) to interpret such sacred secrets in the lay man's language!

How will they be destroyed?

JWs do not believe in Hell Fire, can we have someone explain the below bible passage according to New World Translation, especially the words in bold face.

LUKE 3 : 15 - 17
15 Now the people were in expectation and all of them were reasoning in their hearts about John, “May he perhaps be the Christ?” 16 John gave the answer, saying to all: “I, for my part, baptize you with water, but the one stronger than I am is coming, the lace of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with holy spirit and with fire. 17 His winnowing shovel is in his hand to clean up his threshing floor completely and to gather the wheat into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn up with fire that cannot be put out.”

Chiedu4Trump:
What do you expect from a tyrant who plans to deny us our rights?

Seems you have comprehension problems. If you bargain your right through vote buying (you allowed your votes to be bought by criminal minded politicians), be prepared for your rights to be denied.

What do you expect that will happen after you sold your right by collecting N5,000 and bags of rice? Or giving your vote, your power, to highest bidder?

Otaz19:
An aged woman determined to decide who governs her in Edo despite her inability to walk was backed by her Son to a polling unit to cast her vote as she insisted she must vote in the #edoelection
This woman is an embodiment of strongwill especially where some abled people mostly youths did not come out to vote.If an old woman can come out to vote inspite of her condition then their is hope for #Nigeria.
https://xplore24news..com/2020/09/the-resilience-of-edo-voters.html?m=1

She must be one of the pensioners. I don't expect the news of not paying pensioners under the administration of Oshiomole. That is one of the boost to Obaseki victory.

Goodman247:
you are talking nonsense, in real democracy, it is the electorate that decides the winner of every election, and that is what exactly happened in Edo, no room for rigging, no to Godfatherism, The people decides, shalom

Like it happens in USA seeing Trump as their President?

See, it is how strong and united a political party structure is that will determine the voting pattern of the electorates. Yes, it is the people that will vote but it is the party that will influence their choice of candidates.

Have you not had experience of planning to buy a particular brand of something but end up changing your mind because the sales person introduce another brand to you?

Fingertea:
Even if Obaseki wins today .... Which we are seeing .... That he is winning ...

APC will use supreme Court to remove him .... Mark this date.

Add your own thoughts ...

You got it wrong, the only formula available for APC now is the formula that PDP uses in Bayelsa.

francisbiz:
Did the governors and party stalwart tell that, or you just imagined after overfeeding

daddytime:
Abeg forget this story. The people of Edo made a statement with their vote.

How many of the APC stalwarts voted for Obaseki?

The only thing I can point to is the President's neutrality in this by not allowing the desperate power-hungry fools use the instrument of state to run riot during the election.

INEC was also able to show how much they are improving.

This election goes to show you how much power the people truly wield.

There's a way you'd see the people's vote pattern, rigging would become impossible to carry out.

AceRoyal:
Cry me a river!
Is it not same APC governors that came to campaign against Obaseki?
Edolites are the true powers that be, they voted and defended their votes!
Stop this unnecessary wailing!

Bizibi:
it wasn't luck,it is a clear case of stupidity and arrogance of oshiomole that caused the apc loss today.

As human beings, we see same thing from different perspectives and views based on our personal experience, believes, values and affiliations. Most times, all of us are right; and sometimes majority may be right or wrong in some instances.

Realtalk20:
APC lost

Sore loser

Okay, you are referring to APC. But was that not what I posted, never mind... we are cool here. Peace.

Realtalk20:
[s][/s]

Sore looser

Sorry, who lost?

Obaseki has won this election because majority of APC leaders allows it.

APC lost Edo governorship election because it was choice of APC stalwarts that wants Oshiomole's power & by extension, Tinubu's influence in APC watered-down. A win in Edo will be a boost to Oshiomole, the party structure that see Oshiomole's out from being the Chairman are actively alive and not happy with his committee decisions to disqualify Obaseki.

Edo elections was decided when almost all APC governors rise against Obaseki disqualifications. The power to be in APC are fighting hard to make Tinubu irrelevant in APC major decisions.

Obaseki was very lucky to get the solidarity support of almost all governors in Nigeria who considered the trend of using party structures to denied automatic tickets for incumbent governor as a slap to their face. Obaseki was lucky that he wasn't the first, the politics surrounding Ambode lost has made a solid ground to such not to repeat itself. Ambode lost was the final straw that intensify the kicking out of Oshiomole, Obaseki case make sure Oshiomole's reign was buried.

Ooh, I forgot to add. Edo people stand for the sovereignty of their state like "Ó to gé" like "Edo no be Lagos". They made their choice and stood by it. Congratulations to the Edolites, na man you people be.
