Politics › Re: Is It Democratic That Clinton Got 2M Votes Than Trump But Lost The Elections? by themonk(m): 8:57am On Nov 23, 2016 |
gidgiddy: As of Monday, Clinton has received 63.6 million votes and Trump has received 61.9 million - a difference of approximately 1.7 million votes in the final voting count.
This also means that Clinton has won more votes than any presidential candidate in the history of the United States, with the exception of President Barack Obama.
With the State of Michigan as the last state yet to declare its final results, it is thought that Clinton will eventually surpass Trumps total votes by more than 2 million votes.
However, Trump won because the electoral college system of America gave him 290 votes compared to Clintons 232.
Many Americans now argue that the electoral college system has become outdated and undemocratic because just 15 states out of 50 can decide who the President will be regardless of the outcome of the popular vote.
What are your thoughts? It's democratic cause it ensures every region is represented well. Even Nigeria does something of that sort, you have to win a certain percentage before you become preesident. |

Business › Buhari Hails Okoro’s World Bank Appointment, Ogwumike Too by themonk(op): 10:28pm On Nov 22, 2016 |
President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Ms Sandie Okoro, for her recent appointment as Senior Vice President and General Counsel, World Bank Group. The President also extended the same felicitations to Ms Nnemkadi Ogwunike on her record breaking achievements in the U.S. Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) League. The two congratulatory messages were signed by the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Abike Dabiri-Erewa on Monday in Abuja. The President described Okoro’s track record in the banking sector as impressive, which has brought a rekindled hope that “Nigerians in the Diaspora with the right atmosphere, are professionally excellent”. Buhari said that “having followed her excellent track records in making Nigeria proud as a nation, there is no doubt in my mind that the sky is your beginning’’. The president also said Nigeria received the victory of Nnemkadi Ogwunike as the 2016 Most Valuable Player of U.S. WNBA League with utmost pride and deep sense of appreciation to the country. “We were even more excited to learn that you have led your team to clinch the 2016 League Championships, a feat that has been achieved by your team, the Los Angeles Sparks, since 2003. “It is even more befitting and admirable that, as a true African and Nigerian daughter, you have set a remarkable example for your younger Sister, Chiney Ogwunike. “She (Chiney) joined you to make world history in 2014, when selected by the Connecticut Sun as the Number One draft pick achieved by your team, the Los Angeles Sparks, since 2003’’. “The legacy you began in 2012, with your selection by the Los Angeles Sparks, making both of you, the second set of siblings to ever be selected number one in any American Sports. “I am truly proud of both of you, and urge you to continue to extol the virtues and strengthen of Nigerian heritage. Your shinning example serves as inspiration to the youths of Nigeria,” the president added. http://m.guardian.ng/business-services/buhari-hails-okoros-world-bank-appointment-ogwumike-too/?F

Foreign Affairs › Re: 'brexit Is Proof That Trump Will Be The Next President': 'anti-immigration' Mess by themonk(m): 10:07am On Nov 19, 2016 |
knightsTempler: 'Brexit is proof that Trump will be the next president': 'Anti-immigration' message and shift to the Right that led to UK's seismic break with Europe draws parallels with rise of The Donald
As Donald Trump flew in to Scotland today after the UK's seismic break with the European Union, parallels have been drawn with the anti-immigration message that led to Brexit and his rise to presumptive Republican presidential candidate.
Many have pointed out the similarities between Britain's decision to leave the EU and Trump's campaign - and believe it is an indication of how Americans will vote on November 8, which could see Trump in the White House.
The Donald's arrival in the UK will be seen by many as a meeting of minds - two worlds colliding with shared views including a disgruntled electorate; lost national pride; isolationism; and the issue of immigration.
However, he may not get the desired reception in Scotland: while voters in England and Wales swung the result for Leave, Scots voted overwhelmingly for remaining part of the EU.
And today, he promised close ties between the U.S. and UK if he becomes President, saying: 'A Trump Administration pledges to strengthen our ties with a free and independent Britain, deepening our bonds in commerce, culture and mutual defense'.
'Brexit is further proof that Donald J Trump will be the next President of the United States,' wrote Broderick Greer on Twitter.
Paul Harris added that Americans should learn a lesson from the result in Britain.
'If you think Trump can't win you are lazy, complacent and very dangerous,' he warned.
Arnivan Ghosh said Trump should look for tips from Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK Independence Party who has spent 20 years campaigning to the country to leave the EU, on how to win with a 'divisive, anti-immigration' message.
'That Nigel dude is British Trump,' added Wanda Sykes.
Huw James Collins added: 'The correlation of Trump enthusiasts delighting in the 'Leave' victory perfectly illuminates the roots of this debacle.'
Others were concerned that the result will lend credence to Trump's nationalistic agenda and mean other nations turn to isolationist policies.
'Deeply concerned that #Brexit will cue other nations to recede into isolationism, and lend credence to #Trump's nativist agenda,' wrote Guy Wilson.
Many have warned that this nationalist drive now sets the world stage for a Donald Trump presidency.
In an op-ed for the LA Times, London School of Economics fellow Brian Klaas and Marcel Dirsus, a lecturer at the University of Kiel in Germany, compare Brexit voters to 'Trump supporters sporting "Make America Great Again" hats' who 'believe they have lost too much for too long'.
'Their complaint is understandable,' they write. 'But turning inward will only make their problems worse and the world more dangerous.
'Britain narrowly succumbed to isolationist populism Thursday. Let’s hope Americans don’t make the same mistake by voting for a Trump presidency come November.'
Meanwhile, BBC World News anchor Katty Kay, an English journalist now based in Washington, said that if ‘disgruntlement, nationalism, populism and anti-globalization’ are enough to force a radical move in the UK, then it could be the same in the United States.
She highlighted five reasons why Brexit could mean the billionaire businessman winning the White House in November: an angry electorate, globalization, immigration, lost pride and populism.
‘The two most surprising political phenomena of this year have been the rise of Donald Trump and the success of the Leave Europe camp in Britain’s referendum on Brexit,’ she wrote in an article published earlier this week.
Kay notes that few pundits saw either coming, including herself, but believes the result in Britain could indicate how America votes in the November 8 election.
She compared Donald Trump’s tactic of tapping into the angry electorate with Boris Johnson, the former Mayor of London who campaigned for Britain to leave the EU.
‘Mr Johnson promises Brits a better deal if they throw off the onerous yoke of EU regulations. Mr Trump promises Americans a better deal if they put him in the White House.’

What is the distribution and population of gyms in a certain area. How popular is the fitness culture in Nigeria ? I know it's not popular among African women which is why I have a business proposal to target fitness centers to Unfit african women who tend to be more overweight/obese.
