After having his candidacy endorsed by the KKK's "The Crusader", Donald Trump denounced the KKK endorsement.

"This publication is repulsive and their views do not represent the tens of millions of Americans who are uniting behind our campaign...... This campaign denounces hate in any form"


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiF0zdoiNkQ

Is this all you could find after your Google search? Search some more, the speech where Trump condemn white supremacists may be hidden somewhere in the Internet.

This isn't a quote from Donald Trump but from Donald Trump Campaign organisation . This was just before the 2016 elections, where the KKK came out and endorsed Donald Trump. People were expecting Donald Trump to reject the endorsement - he didn't. Instead his campaign organisation came out with the above mild response.

Bluebyrd:
Lol, you guys are ridiculous and pathetic! Even if he used the language you are asking for , you will still come with very pathetic arguments. In the other video I posted he said I reject the kkk, I don't like any group of hate. Guess you didn't see that. Three videos of Trump condemning white supremacists and your quarrel is with the way he said it? Even in that debate in front of millions you talk about, when he was asked if he will condemn white supremacists, his response was "sure absolutely" but you liberals have mastered the art of burying your conscience and lying without shame.

What's so difficult in saying " I condemn White supremacists"? , meanwhile, he is not shy to post tweets from white supremacists groups.

Donald Trump: "Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as americans."

PDPguy, how many times does he have to say this before liberals stop lying that he doesn't condemn white supremacists?

Same thing as I wrote above. This quote is even worse. So, those who don't cause violence in its name (racism) is what, Sweet smelling?

Donald Trump: "In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy."


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUdRS98R6B8

President Trump said "In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy" , not "I condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy".

He was giving ample opportunity to condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy in front of millions of Americans and billions around the world during the presidential debates, - he failed. His cult and Russian bots now bring out a two year video where he said "In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy" as proof of Trump condemning white supremacists.

Ok, answer me, have the nation condemned racism, bigotry, and white supremacy in one voice?

If you check the exchange rate, per capita income, ease of doing business and the size of Saudis economy he would realise that petrol should be sold for 40naira in Nigeria......

N40? That's about 10 cents per litre. You mean to tell me you can buy petrol at 10 cents per litre in the international market?

It is depressing when you hear the country's president talk with so much economic ignorance (and I am not exonerating previous presidents).

An economic expert need to explain to our policy makers that it's not about the face value of price, but the value according to the economic indices like exchange rate, inflation and other Micro and micro economic realities. If you double the price of petrol to Ghanaian levels, we would need double the naira to buy the same quantity of dollars to import the same quantity petrol, so naturally the dollar to naira rate would double and we would be back to where we started. The price of petrol was 4k (4 kobo) in the seventies and has increased to N161 today. So no matter how much you increase the price of petrol, it will always be more than price in Saudi Arabia, unless we produce the petrol ourselves and don't need dollars to buy it.

Biodun556:
Ignorance is a disease.

One man's ignorance is another man's knowledge, and knowledge is limited to education and experience. Lots of us have travelled to other parts of the world and have seen how things are done properly.

When the bridge is completed it will open up Ikorodu and Epe. With Badagry express road, every part of Lagos will be urbanized.

Open up Lagos to where? Why does every other area of Lagos have to lead to Lagos Island? Is Lagos island still the capital of Nigeria or colonial government? Why do all major bridges in Lagos have to link Lagos Island? All traffic does not have to lead to Lagos island.

What exactly is the Lagos master plan? Lagos should design and build urban clusters and link them all by rail. Lagos State government after Jakande has been building infrastructure haphazardly without any urban master plan. You need industrial zones, commercial zones, residential zones and even a silicone Valley (to accommodate the new technological reality)

It also reduce traffic a lot.

That was the same argument for Lagos - Epe expressway, Apapa - Oshodi expressway, Carter bridge, 3rd mainland bridge, Badagry road, ikorodu road, ejigbo-igando, etc.

Nigerians don't know what they want. When politicians embezzle money they complain when they embark on good project they complain again.

And you think you know more than all Nigerians, that's what I call arrogance.

No one is complaining they are embarking on a good project, what people are complaining is that the limited resources available could be put to better use, to initiate projects that benefit more people for longer term.

Psoul:
Once again, you exhibited lack of knowledge or paucity of it as concerns how schools run or what this particular school is doing.
The school never said they will expel any student with HIV infection.
But I tell you, if actually the school is conducting pregnancy and drug test, and a student is found positive, they will expel such student. That is a welcome idea (excluding a student that is pregnant within marriage). Know it that the university is a Church owned and they want a particular standard. If you think you cannot keep to the standard, pls stay off that school.

As I said religious fundamentalism including Christian fundamentalism is like a mental disorder. They are unable to distinguish between reality and their make believe world.
A school registered and licensed under the Nigerian law must follow certain guidelines, Covenant university cannot operate outside those laws.

Expelling a student because she decides to get pregnant is against the constitution and is discrimination against women. Are you also going to expel a male student that got a girl pregnant? Whether a woman got pregnant married or unmarried or even through a sperm donor is non of the business of your university. It will not be included in your certificate. It can only apply to secondary schools where students are expected to be less than 18 years.

In sane countries, if a university expels a student for getting pregnant, they will be sued out of existence.

Secondly, it seems you are reading the post upside down. The test bn conducted was not to give academic admission to the student, May be wen u heard before admitting them to school, you thought it was for the initial. The admission meant here was for the returning student, it means before they will be allowed to enter their hostels and commence learning. There are already students of the university and not new entrants.

The bone of contention of this thread is what type of screening is it? If it's covid tests, that's good and even commendable, but if it's a pregnancy test, that's an invasion of privacy. The fact that you are attending a university, does not give them the rights to your privacy and dignity.

Then after the test, what next? If the student test positive for Covid, do they just send the student away or refer the student for treatment?

Thirdly, you forgot that we are in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic. I was expecting someone like you to commend the school for such medical test that will give more relative safety to the students, teachers and staffers of the university. Here you are condemning the test.
If the school had ignored the test, someone like you would've carried it on ur head to criticize them saying how can a church school be so arrogant and disobedient to simple rules that will protect the life of people.

I already commended the school if indeed it's a covid test. It's just that some students were complaining that it was urine and blood samples that was taken and not a swab as expected from Covid test.

Bro, you problem is that you hate anything that has to do with Church of Christ and you will do anything to talk it down even if it makes you look very stupid.

Yes, I hate the gospel of Salvation according to tithes and offerings as promoted by bishop Oyedepo and others. It's a scam. I also hate the interference of religious leaders in personal lives of members.

vioment:
I think it would have been more wise to focus on rail and brt modes of transportation, than to do a bridge and stress the current traffic.


The money you would get from rail ( hopefully affordable) could greatly support the 4th mainland.


Could have focused on consistent and secure rail network.

Rail can support freight and human cargo. It don't have to too fast but it has to be conducive and secure. The freight trains could help the ports and internal heavy movement. Still secure and dependable.


The leader's vision here did not pass the foresight test, from my point of view. This is why he is part of my 2nd tier of Nigerian leaders.

The problem is not even building the roads and bridges, the problem is maintenance. Roads and bridges are very expensive to maintain, and you know we are not blessed in terms of maintenance culture. The federal government spends billions every 5 or so years maintaining the 3rd mainland bridge. Most of Lagos roads and bridges are crying for repairs and you are talking about spending billions of dollars building more roads and bridges.

Railway lines are the least expensive public transportation infrastructure to maintain.

Psoul:
Do you listens to yourself talk?
I'm so disappointed by this comment.
You really mean that schools don't have business with her students medical report. This is so ridiculous.

I don't think you attended any university. If you did, may be you did not pass through the right channel during ur admission. You would've noticed that medical test is one of the compulsory process to undertake.

Well, for your information, the test is not to see weda to accept or decline you admission.
Do you know that one can take a school to court alleging that it was since his admission into a particular school that he or she suffers a particular health issue. The medical tests conducted by the school may be one good evidence to exenorate the school from such allegation.
Secondly, your medical report in the school will be very helpful to give such student medical care especially in case of emergency.
I'm so much disappointed that you condemn schools conducting medical tests on students. This is absurd.

Well, I can understand. You guys hatred towards churches can make you act out of place most times. This is disgraceful.

I think it's you that did not attend a tertiary institution. Because, if you did, you will know that you are giving your admission letter before you are required to carry out a medical test. That's why I highlighted the quote in blue. That's the correct position. I have never seen or heard a school withdraw their admission letter after a medical test, nor based admission based on medical condition. Will Covenant University withdraw admission if the tests reveal a student has HIV?

People criticise the churches because they over reach their authority. The churches in Nigeria wants to control all aspect of their members lives - Financial, Domestic, Marriage, medical, etc,. Churches have no business with members medical record.

Omooba77:
Any right thinking Government will look at the option of rail lines...
It still beat my imaginations that LASG is not thinking of rail from Mainland to Island, Lekki, Epe. For Lagos to be like Dubai, it MUST have rail option!

Don't mind them. Only a mad man does the same thing over and over again, but expects a different result.
If the like let them construct 10th mainland bridge, it's only a matter of time before traffic jams caught up with all the roads. The more roads and bridges you build, the more people buy cars people buy. I remember when 3rd mainland was build, it did not take five years before the bridge itself became completely blocked with traffic. Same for Lekki Epe expressway and Ikorodu road.

Metro railway is the only way to go. Lagos is the only city of over 10million people without intra city railway.

Farki:
That's because these schools care so much about their image and have a strange totalitarian idea of what Christianity is to the point that they must micromanage every aspect of their student's lives.

That's because we live under religious tyranny. In sane societies, students and parents would have sued Covenant University to extinction for all human rights abuses.

Psoul:
Some people will just be making making some foolish comments just to have something to hold against the school and the church.

When your employer takes you to their official hospital for a medical test. Do they tell you the types of test they are going to carry out on you.

Religious fundamentalism degenerates the neurons to the extend of being think straight.

What concerns church and school? A church is a non profit charitable organisation with religious objectives. A school is a business enterprise in the business of selling knowledge for profit. How can someone conflict the two?

Your employer is paying for your services, and so might need you to undergo medical tests in order to ascertain your fitness for the job. A school is a service provider, and apart from keeping records for medical purposes in case of emergency, a school has no business with my medical records. In sane societies, a school cannot deny students admission based on medical history.

Some girls go even dey pregnant without knowing ooo

And is that the schools business? It is the constitutional rights of any girl above 18 to get pregnant if she chooses. Pregnancy is not against the law.

Ajibel:
Lagos is already spending money on the city rail (they have blue line and red line in progress) and they've also invested in water transportation via @Lagferry

Lagos has been spending on city rail since Jakande, the problem is that it is yet to materialise. I hope the rail you are talking about is not the Lagos Abeokuta Ibadan rail lines by the FG or the Cotonou Seme Badagry to CMS road and rail lines.


Also we have been hearing about investment in water transportation for decades (and truly there had been some attempts)

But till today the main mode of mass transportation are cars and busses. Lagferry does not transport 0.1% of Lagos commuters.

Abeg which one is medical screening again? The tests no get name?

Racoon:
This project will be gigantic & easy traffic to and from the Island-mainland.

Pipe dream. Like the proverb; when hunters learn to shoot without missing, birds learn to fly without perching. More bridges and roads will result in more cars and trucks.

Lagos needs to spend money on city rails and water transportation. No city in the world, especially mega city, depends on cars and busses as the main means of public transportation.

You Nairaland-infamous thieving fraudster!
Everyone knows Sanders has a gazillion times more presence of mind that Joe Biden has and that's why even the most fanatic of Trump's supporters in 2016 and 2020 admitted and keep admitting Sanders knows his game. Local-search "Disstroy Sanders" and you'd see where I've stated over time that Sanders is a better match.

The same Joe Hiden who can barely make two articulate sentences at a time? The same Biden whose armour is so porous that even as restrained as Kamala Harris was on him, she still tore him to shreds during the Primary Run?
Same Biden who keeps jumbling words and identities together?
Biden stands no chance in a debate which makes me even piqued about what tomfoolery he'd come up with. The mockery would be far-reaching.

Not too long from now, slimy, pilfering featherbrained primate!

Sanders has a gazillion times more presence of mind that Joe Biden, but Biden beat him in the Democratic Primary debates.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyM6ytS8u34

Biden that had been involved with tens of debates - vice presidential debates and presidential primary debates, suddenly don't have presence of mind to debate Trump? That strategy will fail your guys tonight, as Biden will floor Trump in any debate.
What you guys dubiously characterise as presence of mind is his known speech impediment, which he was born with. He is a stammerer. I know some people make fun and bully stammerers.

Which karmala Harris shed him to pieces during the primaries.

Maybe you only watched the primaries through Fox news.

US is not headed for a civil war, liberals should accept their inevitable defeat in November and stop raising false alarms.

The problem is not liberals or democrats. Democrats had always accepted defeat even when it's not so clear cut.
The issue is with Trump and his radical militant army of white supremacists and their sympathisers accept defeat and go away quietly if Trump looses?

Even Trump can't answer that question in the affirmative.

basilico:
Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced charges Thursday against four people, including a county commissioner, for allegedly carrying out a mail ballot fraud scheme in the 2018 Democratic primary.

Gregg County Commissioner Shannon Brown and three others “targeted young, able-bodied voters to cast ballots by mail by fraudulently claiming the voters were ‘disabled,’ in most cases without the voters’ knowledge or consent,” as part of a vote harvesting scheme meant to swing the primary to Brown, according to a press release from Paxton’s office.

Brown, a first-term county commissioner, won his primary by five votes after mail-in ballots erased the 19 percent lead his opponent held after early and election day votes were tallied, the Longview News-Journal reported in March 2018.

Abeg watin concern Republican party with Democratic Party Primary?

Did the party or the defeated candidates complain of fraud?

Watin concern Oshiomole with Obaseki after him leave APC?

pryme:
So Trump was right, mass mail-in voting is not safe and prone to fraud.

Is there any human activity that is safe and not prone to fraud?

itchie:
You confirmed the news yourself and you are still calling it a false claim? All the ballots that were open were cast for president Trump, none was cast for Biden. The other two were sealed in an envelope so they couldn't confirm who it was cast for.

Confirm what exactly? That 9 ballots found in a dump had been concluded and found that it's evidence of systemic mail voting fraud or riffing by the Democratic party?

Since you have done your own investigations, why not provide the details of how the ballots got to the dump. Are the votes valid? Did the have official postage stamps or seal? Had the mailed ballots been posted before they were dumped?
Who dumped it in the rubbish heap - the owners, post office officials or officials of a democratic party?

In addition, most post graduate students won't complete their masters programs in two years. Most will need atleast 2 years plus X, where X would be months or years. Unlike in the UK, masters programs in North America are longer and more intensive.

That's the idea. He doesn't want students from shithole countries coming to America and getting the best education (than Nazis and white supremacist who are largely illiterate anyway). The statistics are poor for whites in terms of collage education, worse for masters and PHDs.

I hope Canada can take full advantage and make Canada the educational and technological hub of the world. They need to invest in world class universities.

FBI finds mail-in ballots discarded in Pennsylvania and all of them were cast for President Trump.

More ballots were found discarded in a ditch in Wisconsin.

Mailed in ballots fraud has already started but they will be shocked, fraud and all, Trump will still win.

Another false claim to discredit the elections by Trump and his supporters, because they are scared of loosing.

Here is the actual report;

The Justice Department on Thursday said the FBI has opened an investigation into nine absentee ballots — seven cast for President Trump — that were found in the garbage near Scranton, Pennsylvania.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2020/09/24/fbi-investigates-ballots-for-trump-found-in-pennsylvania-garbage/amp/

In order words 9 ballot papers were found in a gabbage, in which 7 were votes for Trump and 2 for Biden.

Now, why not wait for FBI to do their investigations as to the source of the ballots before discrediting all mail in ballots and subsequently the results of the elections.

Trump has deep seated psychological issues. This has also been collaborated by his niece Mary Trump.

Here is the video of the views of some psychologists.

I honesty feel it will truly take divine intervention to save the US from Trump. The Democratic checks and balances that have kept the US for over 2 centuries have broken down.

Trump truly believe that he has Total authority to do as he pleases.

All he has to do is declare a national emergency and the president becomes a totalitarian, able to bypass congress and the courts.

The news on my Google feed here this morning in Canada.
I feel sorry for America. It's starting to look like a 3rd world country in Trump's era.

I honestly don't see the US not slipping into Fascism whether Trump wins or looses the elections. He didn't accept the results of the election he won. I can't see how people think he'll accept this one if he loses, even if it's by an unquestionable margin.

His recent statement where he said, and I quote, "Get rid of the ballots and you’ll have a very peaceful – there won’t be a transfer, frankly . There will be a continuation. The ballots are out of control. You know it. And you know who knows it better than anybody else? The Democrats know it better than anybody else"
