What do you base they will find nothing in the audit?
Because they found nothing 3 times when the actual auditors were employed to audit the elections. This one is a Trump appointed audit by a security firm ran by a Trump acolyte.

Any evidence that the election in Maricopa was above board? From the protagonists.
They are only using the courts to derail the start, continuation and conclusion of the ordered audit.
Yes three other audits certified that the election was way above board.
The first audit was done immediately after the January 3 elections. It was carried out by a multiparty audit board that conducted a hand count of ballots from a sample of randomly selected voting precincts and compare them with the results from voting machines. They found nothing.


The second audit was done January 27. It was approved by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to perform a multi-layered forensic audit of the tabulation equipment.
See the report here - https://maricopacountyaz.medium.com/auditing-elections-equipment-in-maricopa-county-3955445c1712


An audit that does not have the participation of the election board, the county officials, the opposition party, independent observers or the press. Is that one an audit?

The antagonists have laid some grounds , which a judge deemed reasonable to warrant a full audit.
I thought you guys do not regard court cases. You lost over 60 court cases and you guys dismissed it all as unreasonable. Now that one judge permitted the a partisan audit, you guys now deem the courts reasonable.

Yeah.
I was going to write about how if one thinks Islam is the most intolerant of other religions, try atheism.

Atheists don't believe in God, and they don't allow those who do, do so in peace.
The reverse is actually the case. Christians and Muslims claim they believe in God but never allow non believers live in peace. They assault us with their beliefs in our schools, universities, work places, streets and even homes. The mohammedian one is ready to kill, behead, bomb and rape women to force their beliefs on non believers (termed infidels)

The irony is that religion is primarily set up to oppress and suppress women, and impose male superiority, but it's women that is the greatest supporters of these religion and their misogynistic practices.
Talk of the best example of Stockholm syndrome.

Those that said there is no God, where are they?


I had to turn my phone upsidedown to look for the caterpillar, indeed God is great.
Which God did it? Was it the one that was born, sucked milk like a man, piss and shit like a man, was beaten and killed like a man and then resurrected (woke) up again or the one that always send his messenger to kill others on his behalf?

This phenomenon is called "God of the Gaps". Other examples are ;I hear roaring thunder in the sky - God did it and is angry. I see volcanic eruptions at the top of a mountain - God lives in the mountain. I see the sun rise up every morning - it was made by God or is a God itself.

Primitive man had always worshipped the God of the Gaps since antiquity as the simplest explanation for phenomenon he does not understand.

There are some people who's mouth will continue to parade the conspiracy even after the audit finds nothing. Hopefully they'll be the minority come election time.
The conspiracy is the main goal of the audit. Even though he audit will find nothing, they will couch the language in terms that will continue to fuel further conspiracies. The big lie is the only hold Trump has on the Republican party. The minute his worshippers actually believe he lost the election is the minute he losses power over the Republican party.

They don't want the audit They done everything to stop it.
You don't stop something if all i right.
There was three other audits before this one sided one. No one tried to stop that.

After the Republican audit, the democrats must be allowed their audit also without Republicans, observers or press.

During subsequent elections in the US, each party must be allowed to independently audit elections it lost before results are called and certified.

The audit is just a sham to keep Trump's supporters riled up until the next elections. This will will be Trump's talking points in his campaign rallies.

So double ur hustle
Yes in most marriages, the husband should be a the head of the family. But I have seen marriages where another member has taken over the role depending on finances. Wives, inlaws and even sometimes rich children take over as head of family.

Marriage like all other institutions required a head for it to be successful. A headless marriage is a obvious disaster waiting to happen.

Guys will simply patronize oloshos to cure konji and many ladies will reach menopause without getting boyfriends not to talk of husbands.

The Stock market is not for 5 or 10 years but for longevity and when you hang up the boots and see how much your 401K has grown, you will be dancing to Prince music like I often do. They can keep their crypto coins or whatever they call it. I ain't gambling with my sweats with some kinks that can be devalued by Tesla or Mark Cuban.
The future is Crypto. Believe with the advent of 5 G technology, quantum computing, Artificial Intelligence and better energy generation and storage capacities, crypto currencies would thump traditional central bank controlled currencies.
You see many governments today fighting a losing battle against crypto. In the long run they jus can't win.

So I advice people to invest in cryptos for the long run.

You made a huge mistake.
You should have discussed abt finances Bd how to manage financial responsibility in your marriage b4 getting married.
You shud have gotten enuf money to set her up immediately after wedding b4 venturing.
This is d way u have laid ur bed sir. Now lay on it cos d fault is urs
It's difficult to discuss finances before marriage because the Nigerian economy is highly unstable and unpredictable. The OP is lucky the covid19 did not affect his job. I know many that lost their jobs or businesses last year.

The problem I see is that the OP did not use his head when deciding to get married to the wife but the lower part of his body. If he had used his head he would have seen the entitlement mentality and gold digging tendency of his then girlfriend. If she didn't spend a kobo on him during courtship, what makes him think she will give him N1k during marriage.

You mean he should have set her up immediately after spending over N1million on wedding ceremonies. Maybe you did not read his post well and assumed he is a yahoo boy. A man just recently married a wife, he has to pay house rent, pay living expenses for himself and wife and you expect him to set up the wife immediately.

D money she is making, is it ordinary paper. The issue is that ladies of this generation is different from our mum. I live in well furnished two bedroom apartment, paid by me. People are passing my wife shop seeing d level of customer going in and out, d think she is contributing to d family. Is better I marry a girl that is not doing anything that will be submissive to me. I noticed d little money she is making is entering her head.
If your wife is your responsibility, what about you? Are you not also your wife's responsibility?
Marriage is a give and take from both partners and not one person always giving and the other always taking. You both must have married out of desperation and not out of love.
I also opened a shop for my wife and sometimes she does not wait for me to buy food for the house. Last term she paid the final balance of the children's school fees without even telling me. She told me after I told her i will give her the balance.

You guys don't have children yet, and she feels so entitled. What happens when the kids starts coming? You will be required to work yourself to death to solely take care of the family.

You wife giving money to male friend without your knowledge is a blood red flag.

You need to reassess the marriage and determine if you are gaining anything from it. You are lucky it's very early and no children involved. You might have to take your loss and move on.

Oga you are wrong. Parents are always punished for the actions of their children everywhere. If you children destroys someone else's property. You are required to pay for all damages. Yes a parents is not usually held liable for their children's criminal activities in most countries, but they are held liable in civil law. In the west if the government feels you cannot raise a child appropriately, the child would be taken away from you.

I disagree. Cultism is more of a parental and societal failure than a governmental failure. In my days cultism was restricted to higher institutions. It was an offshoot of fraternity. Now cultism has seeped into the secondary schools and the streets. In ikorodu here almost every youth whether in school or not is a member of one cult group or the other. And what's the aims and objectives of these cult gangs?

Simplythebest:
What kind of stupid law is this. How many children have spend in a 4 years course. Some spend 5 years in school for a 2 years course who are we going to punish for it. They should leave what they are supposed to do and be doing nonsense. They Aboro guys are the once supporting them and using them still our leaders. During election time will those guys just go to pulling unit and scatter and distory election or carrying the ballot box without anyone sending them. Who are they people sending them is it their parents and how many of those sending them have police or government arrested and punish. This people should just focus on their stealing and leave innocent parents alone.
I think what the law is trying to achieve is to discourage parents from being accessories to the crimes of their children. If the child is above 18 and the parents had no knowledge at all of the criminal activities of their children, then they can be excused. But if your child brings home a N6 million car without any explanation and parks it in your compound, and you as a parent did not report to police. Then you are an accessory to the crime

I don't think this is a good idea. Some children behave like animals no matter how hard you make them act like humans.....Parents should also buckle up, some of them ain't doing their homework very well. "Abeg leave am jare, na small pikin" is the cause of many problems we are facing in the society today.

If children are well disciplined from childhood it is kinda rare for them to go astray when they become adults. Charity begins at home ......The polithiefcians looting today started from somewhere, probably by stealing meat/fish from their mum's pot. Mama go serve food give them with one meat, dem go pass back go collect extra meat(s) That's the spirit of OJUKOKORORISM.



Imagine what the guy on the left would become if he becomes a leader tomorrow.
That's what most people don't understand yet. Children get their values from the home. The problem nowadays is that most parents fail to train and instill good moral values in their children. My children would never take what does not belong to them or what I did not give them permission for. If my 12 year old boy sees N50 on the floor while sweeping, he will bring it to me. None of my chiodren had ever been accused by anyone of stealing anything. If something is missing in their school, they don't even bother asking my children not to talk of searching them. If the parents displays integrity, the children too will project integrity where ever they go.

So if a child na cultist you will also punish the parents, cheesy Because na the parents tell the pikin to join cult abi.. have you punish the soldiers that killed the innocent people in lekki tolegate...
Parents cannot be exonerated from the crimes of their children. Most times they support or actively participate in the crimes of their children. I have seen numerous examples of where yahoo boys buys assets such as cars and houses from the proceeds of their criminal activities with their fathers or mother's name.
A student you sent to school will bring home a. Toyota Venza or an iPhone X and you as a parent will pray and bless the child, is than no being an accessory to a crime?

I can confidently say up to 90% of cultists, yahoo boys, kidnappers, armed robbers are encouraged by their parents.

In the past the crimes of just one family member were visited on the whole family. If just one child is a thief. The community will brand the whole family as thieves and avoid that family. If the father is a known drunkard, no one will marry into that family no matter how rich they are. But now our societal values are inverted, society celebrate criminals, cultists and ritualized.

Hunter Biden is a private citizen with no immunity whatsoever. I wonder what stopped Trump's justice department from investigating and prosecuting him as a private citizen. Now if you have any proof of Joe Biden's illegal dealings with China or any other country, then let's even see a logical allegation before we even start asking of proof.

I had thought you guys would have commited suicide by now as Trump lost the election and Biden was sworn in. I wonder how you will survive the next 4 year's without a psychological melt down. I am beginning to see symptoms of melt down here now. It will progressively become worse.

Joe Biden? Who mentioned Joe Biden in this argument? Ok post the link where Joe Biden called a black man nigger so I can see context.

It seems your obsession with Trump is beyond comprehension. Every topic must be reduced to Joe Biden vs Donald Trump in your mind to have any meaning. Even followers of Mohammed are not this obsessed.

Emotional debt, jews overcome there's. They are doing better. And this is me acting like I agree with what you just said.
And how did the Jews overcome their emotional debts. What structures were put in place for Jews to help them do better? Can the same be said for blacks?

IF THESE HISTORY LESSONS HAS NOTHING BUT NEGATIVE EFFECT ON AFRICAN AMERICANS WHY STILL GIVE IT TO THEM? SO THAT THEY DON'T SUCCEED IN LIFE? DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?
It's not only about history lessons, it's about experiences and shared consciousness. The civil rights law - the rights of citizens to political and social freedom and equality, was passed less than 60 years ago. Almost all black superstars - musicians, sportsmen and even academics still complain of systemic racism.

Please bring data. I have posted evidence that shows Nigerians are very well educated and degree earners which is why they do better.
I don't know who is disputing this point with you. Look for him and argue with him.

Tell us which trauma or emotional dept that is causing white people to employ more Asians than whites. Since qualification and education don't matter. This argument tire me.
This is another irrelevant argument. No one is arguing qualification and education don't matter in employment. What we are saying is that the system is historically rigged ( apology to trumpists) against blacks. Getting quality education, getting quality jobs, getting quality medical care, getting deserved promotion, getting justice, and so on, us rigged against black skinned people.

I remember someone said Nigerian come to the US with clean slate and black Americans are in debt etc.

That one no make sense too. There are a lot of white people in debt for college and some of them it will take them eternity to pay their debt because the latest trend on TV is making them take gender studies instead of actual profession that will make them big earners in the future. They have the advantage to taking loans to fund their education which is why some of them are not serious in the first place. A Nigerian has to pay the complete fees which is usually 2times what indigenous Americans will pay. No loan to support them, hence part of their motivation to do well. They also look for jobs to subsidize their education giving them entry level skills to add in their resume
He was not really referring to physical debt, but psychological and emotional debt. Most of the things that would trigger off an average African American would not affect an average Black African coming from Africa. You call me nigger, so what? As long as you pay me the Benjamins, you can call me anything you like. Being called nigger does not evoke the same emotional response as a black American. An average Black American has been conditioned to think he has limitations due to historical racial conditioning. A newly arrived African has no such baggage.

It's a similar situation is South Africa. The indigenous blacks just having come out of apartheid still carry lots of the psychological baggage from the apartheid era and so presents its own series of limitations and problems, eg crime, sex, drugs,etc. These psychological limitations are absent in other black Africans and so tend to excel better.

So you are saying prideoflincoln2 and over 90% of African that say they have experienced racism are delusional and that you are more informed than them?

I think not
This is my grouse with benalvino2. He feels he knows more than the actual people experiencing systemic racism in the US. Black Americas has been complaining and fighting against systemic racism till this day. BLM movement is a response to that issue ( just like IPOB is a response to systemic discrimination in Nigeria) instead of him to sympathise with his fellow blacks, he takes the racist's talking point (espoused mainly by white supremacists right wing media) and attacks blacks instead.

I can understand prideoflincoln2 anger. He experienced and is still experiencing racism is the US. It's annoying for someone thousands of miles away to be telling him that experiences are not real and just a product of his imagination.

It's comical to be comparing the holocaust to black slavery. The Jews have been compensated, I would even say over-compensated. They were given their own homeland, they are compensated with billions of cash by the US and Gemany. Germany had apologized, paid and are still paying reparations.
Did anyone apologize for black enslavement, have any compensation been paid to enslaved families or nations, has systemic racism stopped in the US and South America as a whole?

I am not even exonorating ourselves from the whole problem, but we must acknowledge the damage that 4 centuries of slavery had done to the black African/African American psyche and society. The fact that we hate each other and even our own selves is a product of that damage.

Maybe benalvino2 can grasp what we are trying to say by reading this report.
In McConnell’s boyhood town where his family owned slaves, the reparations debate thrives

ATHENS, Ala. — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was born about 40 miles from his great-great-grandfathers’ Alabama cotton farms, worked by slaves a 100 years before.

Like so many long-standing Southern white families, McConnell's forebearers built their wealth with free slave labor and cheap land. Two of his great-great-grandfathers owned more than a dozen slaves, census records reviewed by the USA TODAY Network show.

Records about the McConnell family shed light on the history of the region that residents say is still shaped by the legacy of slavery.

The senator’s family history could be a case study in the way many whites built lasting wealth in part by exploiting the labor of enslaved African Americans.

"I know it would be almost impossible to pay everybody related to slaves," Malone said. "When you think of how many people’s lives were lost working for nothing for 400 years, I would agree it should be done. But how it should be done I don’t know."
