Exactly! Look at them online trying to crowd-bully anyone who doesn't follow the bandwagon. An uber driver reported trying to convey an asthmatic pregnant woman to the hospital around the ikeja axis but got stuck in traffic, and they were frantically asking other motorists if anyone is a doctor to do anything and the woman died. What difference is that to the SARS also taking a life? Protest, but at least don't block the roads.

Do you know how many families have lost loved ones to SARS and police brutality, and till today nothing was done. I lost a childhood friend Bayo Awosika at that lekki roundabout. He was shot while coming from his office and labelled armed robber. There is this story in my street of a woman who's fiancee was taken away by SARS, he has not been seen today. Ask people what people experience at SARS headquarters in Ikeja.

ENDSARS is not a new demand, it has been going on for over 5 years. Government had purportedly banned SARS 3 times within the last 5 years, but they are still on the streets. This time the people wants a permanent solution to THE SARS menace.

That the woman died could not be solely blamed on the protesters but on lack of emergency response from the Lagos State Government. Under normal circumstances, you could be in Lagos traffic for over 8 hours. My nephew that did his traditional marriage two months ago, left ikorodu at 10 am for a wedding ceremony that was to start at 2 pm. They got to the brides parent's house at 5 pm.

Trump wants Joe and Hunter Biden to release all emails, calls and meetings with foreign governments.

From someone that is hiding his taxes, and signs non disclosure agreements with everyone he had ever dealt with - wives, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, doctors, lawyers, staffs, even prostitutes he engaged the service of, it's called extreme hypocrisy.

Unreported is that Zero had a conference call with Biden and Ukraine lobby group regarding Ukraine policy just before Joe Biden travelled to Ukraine. The conference call was leaked to Burisma.

Since you said it was unreported, it means you pulled the story right off Trump's ass.

Trump shampeachment was to bury any chance of Joe Biden family dirty dealings with Ukraine becoming public.

Trump's impeachment was about asking Ukraine help him win the elections by announcing an investigation on Burisma (Bidens) or already approved military aid would not be released and also he would not grant a white house meeting.

The second impeachment was due to Trump's obstruction of Congress in carrying out its constitutional duty of investigations.

Further FBI obtained the hard drive in Dec 2019
-12 minute raunchy video
- Sexually explicit photos of Hunter
FBI buried the info in the hard drive when the sham impeachment to remove Trump was being conducted by Adam Schiff.
To think that anyone here is rooting for Biden shows lack of reasoning.

FBI obtained hard drive? From where and from whom? Where is the FBI report?

Sexually explicit photos of Hunter is not a criminal offence. If it was, sexually explicit stories by stormy Daniels would have gotten Trump removed from office, as she described the exact size of Trump's rod.

If FBI buried the info, then how did you and other Trump's cult members see it?

That people can support a horrible, racist and misogynistic con man like Trump is the 8th wonder of the world, but for a black man from a "shit hole" country to be ready to matyr himself for him is beyond sanity.

omenka:
Of course I know ignoramuses when see them.

So, where would you now shift your goalpost to after seeing the pictures below? These happened in China I suppose?

Like I said, you guys know absolutely nothing.

So National Guard is now the US army? National guard are trained for civilian operations that cannot be handled by regular Police. They are controlled by the state and not the federal government like the regular army.

omenka:
Some of you are really funny. You claim to know but you're just a bunch of illiterates and the protest is being supported by you lot not for anything but because you feel it makes the country more difficult to govern and, maybe, the end result of that might be good for pdp.

Nothing more.

Even in the United States, whom you lot see as the most shiny beacon of democratic rule in the world, the Army is used to quell protests, most recently, the civil rights protests against the police (exactly what is happening here). But since you guys are pdp hacks, you would rather things happen differently here.

Army used to quell riots in the US. Maybe your decoder was showing CCTV, and since they were speaking Chinese, you thought they were talking of US instead of China.

blacknp:
Of course it is pdp financed? A revolution will start from the states, not the centre, protest against your individual Governors they are your problem, they have states that add nothing to GDP, yet their indigenous people will still blame Abuja?

Protest against governors on issues of SARS? Do the Governors control SARS or the Nigerian Police?

Please don't deflect from the issue at hand.

Democracy?
It’s false democracy in Nigeria since one northern region was split into 19 states and Abuja;
whereas two former southern regions were split to only 17 states.
Fulani-led north anoints who shall be president and present the candidate to the voters to be formalized.
No southern presidential candidate can win Nigeria’s presidential election unless Fulani-led north gets tired of ruling.

False.
Fulani led north alone cannot on its own anoint who shall be president. They need at least support from one of the two former regions of Nigeria - western or eastern Nigeria. If the former Western and Eastern Nigeria unite and support a candidate, there is no way affiliated northern can win the presidency. Even the constitution stipulates that you need at least 25% votes in at least 24 states before you can become president, and the North only has 19 states.

thesicilian:
There's nothing antipeople in this press release. Put yourself in the position of the head of the Nigerian Army. Would you fold your hands while hoodlums are running rampant? The press release doesn't say they are going to stop the protests, they're only warning "subversive elements and trouble makers" to beware.

The onus is now on the organizers of the protests to ensure that their activities remain peaceful.

This is a subtle threat to the protesters and people of Nigeria in general.

Where did you see people running rampant? Most of the protests had been peaceful, the only few violent once said were triggered by the police themselves when they try to quell the protests using tear gas and live bullets. Or, when paid hoodlums tried to disrupt the protests. The protesters arrested the hoodlums and handed them over to the police.

Tell me one subversive action the protesters had undertaken.

What will you say of the US where not just protesters but rioters had destroyed many homes, businesses and monuments that went on for months? The US army should have been killing US citizens abi?

You did not hear of riots in 2005, not even by French citizens, but by immigrants, that went on in France for 3 weeks, with massive destruction of property. Maybe according to your suggestion, the French army should have massacred immigrants.

This is a civil issue, it does not concern the military, unless the security of the nation or government is threatened. There are numerous para military organization that are meant to deal with civil strife.

This is the reason why people are crying foul over the complete northernization of the top echelon of the Nigerian security architecture. How can a general suggest the killing of his people over a peaceful protest? If the protests were going on in his village, would he recommend bringing in the army to start shooting his own clansmen?

The SARS cum Police brutality, which had been going on for over a decade, is a problem mainly in the southern part of the country. The police knows that southern youths are hardworking, enlightened and more prosperous, so they become the target of kidnappings, extortion, brutality and outright murder by the same Police. But, Northern youths who are mainly poor, uneducated and religious extremist, are never targeted. So an order to deploy Police to quell ENDSARS protests, would only lead to a one sided genocide against southern youths by a northern led security apparatus. That would be a recipe for a civil war, because I doubt governors (who support the protest anyway) and senior southern military officials would sit down and watch their youths being mowed down.

I am glad that Buhari is smart enough to reject such callous suggestion, but I think it's time he starts thinking of reorganisation of the security architecture of the country to make it more ethically homogeneous.

But I’m troubled by our politics,” the sole Republican to vote to impeach Trump added in his statement.

The president calls the Democratic vice-presidential candidate ‘a monster’. He repeatedly labels the Speaker of the House ‘crazy’. He calls for the justice department to put the prior president in jail. He attacks the governor of Michigan on the very day a plot is discovered to kidnap her.

Democrats launch blistering attacks of their own, though their presidential nominee refuses to stoop as low as others.”

The “media”, Romney said in a statement which he released to the media, “on the left and right, amplify, all of it.

“The rabid attacks kindle the conspiracy mongers and the haters who take the small and predictable step from intemperate word to dangerous action. The world is watching America with abject horror.”

More consequently, our children are watching. Many Americans are frightened for our country, so divided, so angry, so mean, so violent.

It is time to lower the heat.

That's because the Obama's strategy of "we go high when they go low" does not work on Trump and his cult members. It only encourages them to go lower as they think you are a SIMP, and they are ALPHA. The best strategy should be when they go low, go lower until we all land in the sewers. To me the democrats are not even going low enough.

Lower which heat? Why not tell that to Trump and his white nationalist coalition?

I guess it has now become my job to break down things written in english to the simplest terms so liberals can understand it. Working on validating the info means that they they are investigating if the info is valid. As for your other questions, you are just showing that you are not updated with what's happening because how he got the data in the hard drives has been reported on so many platforms. I am not even going to risk damaging my brain by trying to understand what you wrote in the bolded part.

First of all, I wanted to write " desperation is making Trump and his cult members behave irrationality" but the auto predictive function of the phone changed it to destination.

Secondly, now explain how you can find emails in hard drives? Are emails stored on personal computers and phones? Except he got his password from the computer and thus had access to his email server.

It's a know fact that Trump loves the poorly educated.

And this is the "investigations" that is on the way?

Did you actually read the report or you just read the headlines?

Even the sub heading says; "Chairman Ron Johnson said the panel is working on 'validating' the information"

Please tell me how Gulianni and his lawyer got hold of Hunter Biden's hard drive?

GIULIANI'S LAWYER SAYS HE HAS HARD DRIVE WITH HUNTER BIDEN TEXTS, EMAILS, VIDEOS OF 'COMPROMISING POSITIONS'

Did he break into his house or office and stole his computer?

Man, desperation is making Trump and his cult members behave irrationality.

It seems you guys are so obsessed with emails. What about Hillary's emails, have Russia found them yet or maybe Gulianni and his lawyers will find them a few days to elections.

Bluebyrd:
An investigation is already underway.

Investigation or announcement of investigation?

Who is doing the investigation?

Bluebyrd:
For three years Facebook has allowed every Russian collusion story with the flimsiest of evidence or no evidence to run with no issues yet a Biden story that shows his massive corruption, with evidence, has to be censored by Facebook. Amazingly, The executive that took the decision is a democrat operative called Alex Stone.

That's where you guys are sore losers. You are only after audio evidence, audio corruption and audio investigations. When democrats make allegations against trump, they follow up with actual investigations including witnesses and subpoenas, and most times actual trial and conviction. When Trump and his cult members make allegations, it's only on Twitter, social media and TV, no investigations, they are only after announcement of investigations. They think what happened to Hillary will happen again where James Comey announced and investigation into emails a few days to elections, which was able to sway quiet a few voters.

"The choice facing America is simple -- it's the choice between historic prosperity under my pro-American policies or very crippling poverty and a steep depression under the radical left."

Donald Trump



"The choice before Nigerians in the coming elections is simple: A choice between going forward or going backwards; between the new ways and the old ways; between freedom and repression; between a record of visible achievements and beneficial reforms-and desperate power-seekers with empty promises."

~ Goodluck Jonathan, 19th February, 2015.

The parallel between Goodluck Jonathan and Donald Trump is uncanny.

Jonathan mishandled the Chibok kidnapping poorly, Trump mishandled the coronavirus pandemic badly. They both did not take these issues seriously until it was too late. They both believed they were "hoaxes" by the opposition.

Jonathan was afraid of losing and so called for postponement of the election. Same as trump who is touting postponing the elections.

Jonathan seeing his campaign failing carried out aggressive last grasp campaigning a couple of weeks to elections. Trump also seeing his campaign flagging is set to whiz through the country vigorously campaigning the next few weeks, very close to the elections.


The only difference might be Jonathan readily accepted defeat, despite the opposition of his base. Will Trump accept defeat?

Trump has 87m followers on twitter. Ive not checked his feed, but he should order an investigation of Joe , Hunter and Burisma.
Whats been alleged so far that is not reported is that the critters in Washington approved aid to Ukraine, Burisma owner had a bank that the funds were channelled to. and a huge amount was diverted to the DC critters via offshore banks. And some recipients included Republicans not only democrats.

Who is doing the alleging? I hope it's the FBI, CIA, Senate, House or other official investigative body, and not Fox news entertainment, Brietbart or QAnon.

A lots of my buddies got one and I know a guy with 6 AR. It's not to kill or harm people, it's for self defense. I belong to an African American Guns Owners Club in Chicago and part of the deal when we go to the shooting range is that we should get one to defend our family. Still working on it with wifey and they are making it so cheap now that you will get a very powerful one for a little over $3.000.

You need to explain to your wifey the dangerous times your are living in, especially as a black family in the US under Trump. You might need all the heavy ammo you can get your hands on. Follow the Boys Scout motto; "Be Prepared". Trump will not go down without a fight, and he has specifically instructed his white nationalists groups like Proud Boys, 5 percenters and others to stand down and stand by. Now, imagine what will happen if he orders them to take over the streets, the states and the country. These white supremacists white groups are stocking arms and training hard, just waiting for orders to cause mayhem. The casualties if they start their mayhem would be blacks first, Democrats second, then LGBT, Jews, muslims, immigrants, etc. I hope these white nationalists groups can differentiate all the uncle toms supporting Trump.

Spare us the sanctimonious talk. Hillary Clinton called half of the country a basket of deplorables, that didn't stop you from supporting her for president.

It's Trump supporters that Hillary Clinton called basket of deplorables. She wasn't expecting their support to begin with.

But Trump needs the support of the seniors. That was one of his main support base in 2016. Insulting them and them expecting their support is crazy.

Biden has made these "mistakes" too many times for us to still think they are mistakes. The man is mentally unfit. In that same video, he directed people to a website that doesn't even exist, what will you call that one? Another mistake?

Believe me, if we are to compile and compare Biden's gaffes with that of Trump, Trump's insane rants on Twitter and in interviews will be a hundred times more insane and stupid than Biden's. Biden went through a gruesome primaries with other democratic contenders, believe me, if he was mentally unfit as you guys have saying for over one year, other candidates would have taken advantage.

Even the Republican party had before the last debate warned Trump and his cult members, that the "mentally unfit " narrative would come back and hunt them, because they know Biden is very good in debates.

Joe Biden Doesn't Know What Office He's Running For: "I'm Running As A Proud Democrat For The Senate"

You guys are so dishonest it borders on pure evil. It's obvious he made a mistake, and if you showed the whole speech instead of just a 7 seconds clip, it would have been obvious.

Here is the longer version of that speech;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfJBVMWL6cQ

"....You know we have to come together. That's why I'm running. I'm running as a proud democrat, for senate. When I'm running as a proud democrat, for Vice President. I'm running as a proud democrat, for President. But I promise you this, I will govern as an American president. I will govern for everyone who voted for me or against me......"

Those that support him knows he has a speech impediment and sometimes his words might not come out perfectly, but they understand the message he is trying to pass through.

He what he was saying is; as a proud democrat, whether he is running for senate, vice president or president, he will govern for all Americans instead of only his base.

Now, compare it to Trump's insane rants about California sending millions of gallons of water into the Pacific, because they want to take care of tiny fish;

All these talks all still fall on morality, and the point is morality doesn't govern a country

In as much as you can claim Clinton lied on the stand, he has been the best president in the last 50 years with only Reagan coming close. Simple, look at the numbers, come on.

In the issue of morality, Trump's name should never be mentioned. Trump has no moral compass whatsoever. In terms of telling lies, Clinton and Trump are galaxies apart. Trump lies with almost every breadth he takes.

Republicans had nothing on Clinton after 2 years of investigations, and then decided to look into his romantic and sexual affairs. And, they expected him to name and admit all the people he was having extra-marital and secrete affairs with.

Clinton's impeachment was a farce.
Why not Republicans ask Trump about Stormy Daniels on oath and see if he will admit to fucking her raw, just 2 weeks after his wife gave birth to Barron.

I don't understand why Trump's cult members think he should be held to a different standard (lower) than others.

But it's PERFECTLY OKAY for a government official paid 3 million a month to sent his kids to school abroad that their annual fee is 35k pounds, have 5 luxury cars worth 5 million each, have different houses in Abuja, Lagos, etc..

Which government officials is paid N3 million a month? Most don't get N3 million a year. Even the president's official salary is about N14 million a year.

And Dino Melaye having cars worth more than N2billion in his house without having not worked any known job or work outside being a legislative member does not raise suspicion?

Tinubu having billions of dollars worth of investments, hotels, houses, etc., does not raise suspicion?

Patient Jonathan having million of dollars that is being seized everyday and with billions of naira worth of properties does not raise suspicion?

Infact ALL politicians that live way above their means does not raise suspicion?

Why only phone, why not search people's drawers, wardrobes, office files, letter boxes, in search of evidence?

So According to Biden Voters don't deserve to know whether he will pack the courts or not? How to lose an election 101

If voters don't deserve to know if Joe Biden will pack the courts, then logic and common sense beckons that he actually doesn't deserve to be President.

Why should voters deserve to know if Joe Biden will pack the courts when according to you guys voters don't need to know Trump's taxes?

You have seen girls that did abortion in the morning and in the evening, hustling for customers.

I used to run a bar that had lots of hustlers (club girls) hanging around. Girls doing abortion in the morning and resuming work or hustle in the evening was no big deal. If they didn’t tell you, you would never know.

To be sincere, you know nothing of what you are talking about.

I hope you know that abortion processes are painful, no woman wish do that.

False. Not all abortion procedure is painful. Some abortion methods are non invasive, and employ only the use of drugs. Even invasive ones if done very early and by qualified gynecologist is relatively pain free.

Is miscarriage and abortion the same thing?

So, I have to educate you again so you can stop making a fool of yourself on this forum

Spontaneous abortion, which is the loss of a pregnancy without outside intervention before 20 weeks’ gestation, affects up to 20 percent of recognized pregnancies.

Spontaneous abortion refers to pregnancy loss at less than 20 weeks’ gestation in the absence of elective medical or surgical measures to terminate the pregnancy. The term “miscarriage” is synonymous and often is used with patients because the word “abortion” is associated with elective termination. “Spontaneous pregnancy loss” has been recommended to avoid the term “abortion” and acknowledge the emotional aspects of losing a pregnancy. Another emotionally neutral term is “early pregnancy failure.”

You are not a woman to feel the pains of abortion and what it does to us.

What does it do to you ? Have you done abortions before to claim authority in what it does to women?

I have seen club girls done an abortion in the morning, and by that night, their back again in a nightclub hussling for customers. Abortion done early enough and by professional gynecologist produce almost no pain or blood.

If you are talking about fear of pain, then women would not even think of getting pregnant, not to talk of delivering babies. Because, child birth would probably the the highest pain she would ever experience in her life.

The woman body is not built to kill babies but to produce babies.

False!

According to medical research 10 to 20% of all known pregnancies end in miscarriage

Miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week. About 10 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. But the actual number is likely higher because many miscarriages occur so early in pregnancy that a woman doesn't realize she's pregnant.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pregnancy-loss-miscarriage/symptoms-causes/syc-20354298

If you factor in unknown pregnacies where the woman didn't even know she was pregnant and thought her period only came late, the figures would be much higher.

Everything to you is about rich GOP vs Poor Communist Mothers

Yes, rich women would always find a way to abort an unwanted pregnancy safely, whether legal or otherwise, the problem is poor and vulnerable women who either are forced to risk their lives with unsafe abortion, or be saddled with an unwanted baby for the rest of her life.
