Umahi is overrated.
He did his job. His predecessors did not or fell short of basic expectations.
Until we start assessing these politicians dispassionately on performance, mediocres like Umahi will bestride the scene like barely clothed emperors. Besides, he is a budding autocrat, if his utterances during his tenure are anything to go by ; he threatens journalists and abuses critics with abandon. Imagine were he in the Presidency. Let his successor audit Umahi's administration before we pass judgement. In the meantime, he should pay his dues on the national scene by enlightening Nigerians on his views about a range of subjects. Nigeria is not Ebonyi State.

So many Christians claiming that the election represents a spiritual battle between darkness and light, with a thrice married, prostitute-paying, Miss World promoting, p###y-grabbing, multiple bankrupting, race-baiting, mannerless and boorish alleged billionaire as the embodiment of light and a representative of "godly" values on Earth. His favourite "book" is the bible. The vanguard of light has this to say about his favourite passage in the Bible, allegedly his "favourite" book ;

I prefer what Malcolm X said:
"You been had, you been took, you been hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray, run amok"

Will FFK tweet the same if APC refuse to concede the presidential election come 2023 ?

And he wants to be VP ?
The way this fella talks, you'd have to conclude that before he goes on air, he's taken something narcotic.

A man who's only qualification for the job was his supposed competence in security matters has presided over a decline in security so perilous, non state actors and terrorists his govt declared "technically defeated", now use our territory as safe havens. First Chad, now America.
You couldn't make this up

Economy comatose.
Sovereignty violated.
Youths without future and rioting.
Foreign investment to a dribble.
Oil being future-proofed.
Insecurity rife.
Anti Corruption discarded.
President indifferent.
This is not a haiku.

Tell me again, what is Buhari's advantage over Jonathan ? Seems like degrees in a circle at this stage.

Strange why the US didn't get the French to do it and provide ISR like they did for the Droukdel job. They already have assets in the AO that performed the same tasking severally and the lads of the 1erR.P.I.Ma are no joke. Rumours located the raid at the Sokoto-Zamfara border, so quite far in country. If timeline is accurate I'd say they got ppl from Dijbouti/Horn of Africa command that has SEALS there hunting Al-Shabaab and staged from Niger.
Speculation seems to be that the group was ISWAP who kidnapped the guy.
Glad all but 1 of the terrorists are now meeting their 72 virgins.

FGN is the biggest purveyor of fake news ;
1. BH technically defeated ; Chad President disproved the claim with his offensive. How many lives were lost as a result since this fake news ?
2. Only ~300 Shi'ites were killed in the incident with Burutai's convoy ; Amnesty and HRW estimate 3 times that number were killed.
3. A person without NYSC certificate becomes Min. Finance as a sign of sanitising public office. How many other appointees have dodgy credentials ?
4. GEJ failed on insecurity in the North. PMB is succeeding in taming ze variousz zecurity challenges. How many ppl have fallen to rampaging herdsmen and professional kidnapping gangs ?
5. Aisha Buhari claims a "cabal" exists in the Presidency. She is pilloried as a garrulous wench who should play the role of demur Northern spouse in ze oza room. Abba Kyari passes and the AGF and EFCC Chairman are in open warfare about recovered monies, anti corruption fight and constituted authorities.
To name a few.
Why deploy armed soldiers to disperse peaceful protesters if not to shoot ? Were they deployed with batons and gear typically issued to riot police ?
This is strategy 3 in the govt counter narrative; it also shines a light into the thinking behind the various attempts at social media restrictions this regime has floated only to be shot down in a barrage of criticism.
As someone above noted, silencing celebrities is a complete misunderstanding of the deep problems we are facing in this country. They can't keep that same energy to probe why this govt has been a monumental failure in everything BUT palliatives distribution.
And if we don't pursue solutions in a transparent and sincere manner, the next conflagration will make this one look like child's play.

Next the same 100+ countries will foist NOI on Nigerians as "female, competent, and "presto" a marginalised "SEasterner". Who better ticks all the boxes to lead Nigeria ? Similar psyop they did for Shirleaf-Johnson on Liberia who left a legacy of economic servitude and ruin in her wake.

I am informed of one example of NOI's capacity for self publicity and aggrandisement. She claimed her mother was kidnapped by "oil marketers" bc she wanted to stop subsidy. The Western press hailed her "courage" in confronting the continuation of the endemic corruption in the oil sector in her country. The truth was rather more prosaic ; her economic policies as Finance Minister contributed to making kidnapping more lucrative, esp in the SE.

I can personally attest to her annoyance that the media interest generated by the WEF 2014 she had organised in Abuja was hijacked by the Chibok Affair. And her annoyance was not out of pity for the girls.

Let her get to the position on her capacity alone; She only remembers Nigeria when it benefits her career personally and inflates her CV.
I'm personally ambivalent to her success. Nigeria is not in any position to take advantage of her elevation in any case. The WTO has been trashed by the Trump admin in line with it's continued assault on multilateral institutions generally. The WHO, UNICEF, WTO, UN, EU, NATO, ICC, etc. I'm doubtful NOI can reverse the trend. She looks nothing like Nicky Haley or Hope Hicks.

I'd imagine that deep strategic reasons will favour the SK candidate in so far as Moon will try to reel in the NK despot so Trump and Co and achieve a Nobel. Who knows in this topsy-turvy 2020.

US call since WB ?
North/South Korea dialogue as carrot/stick. Moon of SK in need of boost, US-NoKo summit revived?
The Korean wins.
My calculus.

https://www.newsweek.com/hydroxychloroquine-doctor-furious-donald-trump-took-experimental-antibody-stupidness-1536161

"A doctor notorious for claiming hydroxychloroquine is a "cure" for COVID-19 has denounced White House doctors for not giving President Donald Trump the drug to treat his infection.

Dr. Stella Immanuel, who gained fame in July after Trump retweeted a video showing her touting the malaria drug, expressed outrage in a series of tweets on Friday, condemning the medical decisions of "bozo doctors" who surrounded the president after he tested positive for COVID-19...."

The "No Responsibility" President.
White entitlement writ large.
Just imagine the obscenities this big baby would have been tweeting if Obama would have lost 200k lives and behaved like this.
Co-vidiocy at it's finest.

SegFault:

And there would be counter violence from the black community, trump should not have won the first tenure, make them just kukuma give am him second tenure before they end up packing meat from the streets. At least he will never contest again.

The way they're preparing for the boogaloo ehn ? Everybody tooling up. And social media is fanning the outrage.
He may be more divisive with a media channel should he NOT win than win tbh

okuta007:


An alleged racist is a million times better than a dumb skull who can’t reason for himself except CNN tells him how and what to reason

What racist comment or behavior has Trump exhibited - Name ONE

But let me mention Biden’s long strings of racist comments and behavior as far back as 1972

-1. Biden supported school bussing which was an act of segregation and racism (Kamala Harris)

-2. “We need to get these (black) people off the streets and I don’t care how we do it- because I do not want my kids to grow up in a racial jungle”

( Biden while supporting the crime bill in 1993 that put millions of black men in prison)

-3. These (black) people are predators (Biden referring time black men in America)

-4. Same Biden who endorsed Robert KKK Byrd the grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan

-5. Same Biden who for 47 years did NOTHING to help the crime laden black community as a senator for 36 years and Vice President for 8 years


-6. If you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black (Biden talking down a black reporter who dare to have a contrary opinion to his )

-7. Same Joe Biden who voted to offshore American jobs to China, Mexico and other places through TPP - with black Americans being at the receiving end


-8. “This is first time I am seeing a clean and good looking black man who is Ivy League educated and speak flawless english” (Joe Biden, referring to Barack Obama in 2008- does that mean other black men are not good looking ? that is a racist comment)

........, and many more rubbish i can’t remember right now which are very racist in connotations


I am not writing all these to convince you, I am writing it for the public to digest and see who the real racist is in this election


MENTION ONE THING TRUMP SAID THAT IS AS CORROSIVE AS BIDEN’s STATEMENTS OVER THE YEARS!!!!

and proudly tell your children you supported a man who insulted your race to your face but vilified another man and called him a racist because CNN told you to do so, and you could not reason for yourself


UNDER TRUMP

1. best black employment statistics in American history

2. Million more blacks lifted out of poverty

3. Million more Black home ownership

4. Historical Black Universities got 10 times more funding in 4 years than whatever Obama could do in 8 years

5. Opportunity zones were created that gave blacks more employment opportunities

AND NOW

Trump is proposing $500 Billion to aid new and existing black business in his second term

YET HE IS A RACIST BECAUSE CNN TOLD YOU SO AND YOU CANT REASON FOR YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU ARE BLINDED BY HATRED!!!!

Cool story bro
Ask the Central Park 5.
Or Omorosa.
"Haitians all have AIDS", "why are we having ppl from shithole countries here" (he suggested the US being more ppl from countries like Norway)
He singlehandedly started the whole Obama Birther conspiracy ffs.
The proposal is sheer pandering for black voters, you know, the type of pandering that he decried democrats did ?
Telling 4 opposition women of colour to go back to their own countries is racist dog-whistling.
Bc CNN told him to say those things.
Next you'll tell me he really wants peace with Iran.

sbaks:
Don't mind them! Trump may be arrogant but he's not as racist as people say or think. Not even half please. He's just not a man pleaser. He's somewhat realistic

I disagree. I lived in the US for 6 yrs and I've lived in the UK for 25 + yrs. I know a racist dog whistle when I hear it. I went to school and have worked with ppl like Trump and Johnson. Two peas in the same pod. They will cite liking jerk chicken and The Notting Hill Carnival as evidence they are not racist
Also, the Central Park 5 politely disagree with you too.
Living in the Upper East Side of NY does not preclude you having WASPish racist attitudes. It's a predominantly white enclave of fellow billionaires or multi millionaires who holiday in Gstaad and the Hamptons. POC are househelp or employees. Ask Omorosa, Michael Cohen, Tony Scaramucci etc. Even Howard Stern.
Someone "realistic" at 70+ yrs should really show more decorum, circumspection and respect for the office ; Exhibit A-refusing to shake the hand of a visiting Head of State for the cameras is beyond childish. It's also undiplomatic. But he eagerly rushes to shake a maximum dictator like Kim's hand (for the Nobel I guess) and mugs for the press. I but, yeah, he was keeping it "real", amiright ?
Support a clown and you get a s....show.
Putin is laughing his head off at America. And so is the rest of the world to be fair.

PoliteActivist:


Produce a single of Biden like this, that has nothing to do with politics

I don't understand your question.
Trump using Trump casinos and property to host a world championship fight for brand promotion proves he's.....not a racist ? With the dodgiest boxing promoter who fleeced tens of millions of $ from those he was promoting and managing, in the person of Don "Da Con" King ?
Biden is a politician. Trump is a business man. You have shown me pictures of Trump in business guise. He can be racist and still be transactional you know ? And that's why many ppl support him. They admire his entrepreneurial nature, whether real or (mostly) fake.
I'll leave you with this ; the last publically acknowledged "billionaire" to run a major western democracy was.....Silvio Berlusconi. Italy has been a basket case since.

VaselineCrew:


MEEEEEN, GOD BLESS you bro!!

Do you know I got to know Trump through Rappers? Awon dem Jay-z dem from back in the day

Every black rapper giving Trump props, even all those Al-Sharpton dem giving him props for giving black students scholarships.

BUT AS SOON AS he started running for presidency as a REPUBLICAN, he became racist.

Yet Biden can say live on video, that "IF YOU DON"T VOTE FOR HIM, YOU AINT BLACK", like some slave master, but yeah, it's Trump that's the racist, lol


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhcgmwj3NAc&t=38s

People put too much store in being contrarian as a badge of independent thinking.
How come every single instance where Trump is asked to denounce white supremacy he loses his voice yet is ebullient in condemning BLM or anything about race relations? You don't understand what dog-whistling is ? It's the cowards way of signalling whilst disavowing responsibility for the consequences of what you've said. Like Miyetti Allah cover for herdsmen here.
Ask the Central Park 5 if they think Trump is racist. Perhaps you'll get better perspective. Hanging out with a bipolar Kanye doesn't wipe out his very public racism.
And if you know anything about rap music, you'd know Trump was quoted bc of his opulence, not bc they thought he was not racist.
Who has a golden shitter ? It's the kind of Tony Montana excess that rappers glorify.

PoliteActivist:


Not only that, Trump had a long life b4 presidency. He was tight with black celebrities and boxers and grew up in diverse NYC, unlike Biden and his all white world

k

Yeah, bc rapping about someone means you endorse him.
Do you know how many rappers have quoted Jeffery Dahmer ? Rhymes with Barack....you get the idea.
Btw, there's a picture of LL Cool J and DJ Marly Marl with a giant bounced check from Trump in 1990. It was a stage prop but you get the idea...

he tells d truth, problem,

he lies, problem.

Typical human nature !

Democrat sympathizers baffle me

Trump started all this by stating news media was Fake. His supporters resort to this same head in sand tactic when news doesn't suit them. Besides, Woodward's revelations show he was well aware if how infectious the virus was yet chose to downplay it in public, even when told by President Xi.
Somehow the "democrats" created a "hoax" virus that has killed 200k Americans that the POTUS absolved himself of any responsibility in stemming and then he fails to protect himself and his wife by disregarding the guidelines of his own public health agency !
You couldn't make this stuff up !

I predict Trump will emerge from his quarantine and claim HydroxylC'quine, prayers and zinc cured him. You watch.
His lemmings will then use Trump's well known expertise on every subject in the world to show that the Great Leader was right all along and Bill Gates, Merkel, Iran, Justin Trudeau, Sadiq Khan and an unholy alliance of deep state-Soros-AOC and BLM with Lebron James, Obama and Hollywood have shares in vaccine companies

Hope, she gave it to him.....
If you know, you know

Oh, the irony. Let's "hope" the virus gives him the Johnson version of it's effects then he can tell us how "mild flu" it is.

Maybe he can inject himself with some, you know, disinfectant, you know, maybe some light, you know, light in the body, tremendous light, it'll magically disappear, this fake media hoax , by April, when it gets warm
Let him and FLOTUS go and see that 9ja woman doctor na and get chloro or hydroxychloroquine shot na
He touted it. Now put up or shut up.

Remember what Deontay Wilder did to Fury in their first match ? Flicking his tongue out like that ?
Karma cane back to haunt Wilder in part 2 and Fury tongue-flicked him back before finishing him.

What Izzy did was unsportsman-like ; You can excuse it as a "heat of the moment" matter and he be forgiven this one misdemeanor.

As a poster previous wrote, if Costa had done the same to Izzy, we'd all be up in arms in apoplexy.

The debate was a lietmotif of where America is as a nation. All civility has gone. Political conventions have been upturned. Bow it's just rancorous bickering.
The world's greatest democracy reduced to a bunch of old white men debating who is more racist and who doesn't pay enough taxes. I personally thought paying taxes was what being a good citizen of any nation is. Apparently that's a minority position.

The City on the Hill, this wasn't.

Israel juju finish de Brazilian. You know he came equipped
See as Costa turn to custard ; soft, lacking aggression, confused. He was "spiritually" defeated after the first exchanges.
Israel even hump am when the ref was separating them

Joking.....
Congrats to Israel. I thought the fight would be longer than it turned out. At first I thought the ref was a bit quick to stop the fight but on replay, it was the left Israel threw when Costa was down that finished him. The ref was in the way of the replay but you can see how hard Izzy threw it. Correct stoppage.
I'd like to see a Gastelum or Widow-maker re-match with Izzy.

Izzy in 5.
Costa will tire. All that pent up manic energy he has been directing at Adesanya will be blown out in the first 3 rounds and will count for nothing in the last two rounds of a championship bout.
If muscles meant something in this sport, Brock Lesnor would be a g.o.a t.
Izzy must never get into a wrestling match with this guy bc he'll be toast. Brazilian bbj ppl are no joke.
Take his time, pick his shots, avoid Costa's over-hand bombs and he retains the belt.

The BH terrorists were hungry and thought the Gov's convoy had dried fish
FGN

Let him set up an advisory legal service for young artists getting into the game then. He and his wife (an aspiring lawyer) have the money. He can help.
New artistes see $ signs and then sign the contract w/o a lawyer going through it.
Left Eye, Prince, MJ, Jay Z, The Lox et al have spoken on this years before this shoe selling slave. Slavery was his choice ! And didn't Ye help his label sign artistes on janky contracts ? Ray Charles negotiated for his masters over 50 yrs ago.
But it's "facts" and Ye is "woke" and "people will not understand" bs. Don't confuse the liberities you allow for artistic genius with political/social insight.
They are not the same.

If you have any confidence that a character as dishonourable and compromised as Malami did not collect wads of cash to abort specific cases, you need your head examined.
Malami's corruption as AGF may be worse than Aondoaaka's by virtue of him having served a full 8 yrs. To make matters worse, he shields his venality behind the President's "integrity".
Magu, Daura, Burutai, Malami, Kyari, Mongonu ; Nigeria's Next Level.

Are new Yeezy's about to drop ?
Made in slave shops in Vietnam and sold at $500 ? Yellow man must work for black man married to white woman in America to posture about slavery.
They say the opinions of celebrities don't mean anything, yet this man is an American Presidential candidate courted by the current occupant of the WH.
Slavery was a choice !
Ye signed, Ye must pay.
Now he's whingeing ? Like all "Maga"-istas, they're the biggest snowflakes since someone else is always responsible.
Harriet Tubman had heavier cojõnes than this jessie in his dresses and overpriced sneakers.
And he demeans those whom have been unjustly murdered by Police brutality in the US by appropriating their crys for justice in BLM with his unhinged rant about "masters".
And btw, for ppl who think this is somehow an original thing, Prince basically protested the same thing and refused to honour his contract until he was released and could produce and own his own masters.
