I am still of the strong opinion that Trump is mentally unstable, or abusing substances not good for his health.
Donald may also meet some of the criteria for dependent personality disorder, the hallmarks of which include an inability to make decisions or take responsibility, discomfort with being alone, and going to excessive lengths to obtain support from others. Are there other factors that should be considered? Absolutely. He may have a long undiagnosed learning disability that for decades has interfered with his ability to process information. Also, he is alleged to drink upward of twelve Diet Cokes a day and sleep very little. Does he suffer from a substance- (in this case caffeine-) induced sleep disorder? He has a horrible diet and does not exercise, which may contribute to or exacerbate his other possible disorders. - Mary L Trump
ijedeikorodu: Did Melania Trump graduated with an architectural degree or not and from which university, at least Michelle Obama certifications can be verified?
She graduated with a degree in architecture in MAGA's alternative universe. In that universe, Melania gained entry into Yale School of Architecture (instead of modelling), and graduated at the age of 22 with a distinction and masters degree in architecture. She later became the most renowned architect in the US. She in met her husband Donald, when she designed the award winning New York Trump Towers.
basilico: Some of the brightest not. necessarily the richest people I have met are architectural graduates. They major in science and arts, .spend countless hours designing aesthetic stuff that can span structural epochs. Architectural graduates move into very funny career's like performing arts, structural design, etc. Very versatile people. Unlike socialogists who invite their mothers to white house , then claim it was built by slave labour and finally say bye Felicia. No respect from me.
Who asked for a sermon on comparing sociologists with architectural graduates?
Provide proof that Melania Trump is an architectural graduate or any other graduate for that matter.
Crack teams from the Department of State Service (DSS) and the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) of the Nigeria Police have begun a manhunt for those involved in the burgling of the office of the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), the central national agency that handles disclosures and intelligence in the financial sector.
The office, located at No. 12, Ibrahim Taiwo Street, Aso Villa, was allegedly burgled last Thursday night. It was, however, discovered on Friday morning. When the suspected burglars broke in, at least seven computers, containing sensitive financial information, were reportedly taken away, while others were damaged.
So you mean to tell me the IT department of Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) have no back up for their data? So if their computers or server should crash, or the office got burnt, all their data will be lost? I no understand o!
CanadaOrBust: Mention one truly socialist country that anybody wants to emigrate to. Talk real life not words on paper
China prides itself as a socialist republic. You mean to tell me that you are not aware that a lot of our eastern brothers prefer to emigrate to China than the US. The fact that you think the US is heaven does not make it so for everyone else.
Now you also mention one truly capitalist country.
What do you call a situation where Americans, including right wing anti socialist Republicans, collect hundreds or even thousands of dollars monthly in unemployment checks, while sitting in theory homes doing nothing.
CanadaOrBust: *) Who would want to be a doctor? Why go through the stress of medical school and specialising in any field of medicine when you can just sit down at home and get equally paid? With this, the medical field will eventually collapse in a socialist state and hospitals would be nothing to write home about. Even if the socialists leaders are transparent enough to fund hospitals, no one would be willing to be a doctor. Why would many want to go through the stress of teaching, going to school, getting a masters or PhD when they can just sit down at home and get free stuffs. With this, the educational system will collapse. In fact no one would want to work except do the basic necessary things to survive.
*) Since people would stop working since they are getting free stuffs, who is going to generate money? What happens when everyone runs out on other people's money? You get poverty and starvation. The state might not even care since they own everything and are well to do so they may ignore the people's need and there's nothing the people can do about that. Even if they wanted to provide, who is willing to work? The lazy government or the lazy people? Even if the government forced people, will they risk a rebellion or will they get what they want given that the people have no skills?
*) As I have explained, the state has absolute power without checks and they are everyone's hope of survival hence the room to abuse human rights and oppression of the people with impunity.
I think you are drunk on US far right propaganda, which tend to demonise socialism. They use scare tactics and doomsday scenerios to discourage any format of socialism. Meanwhile, they themselves depends on government bail outs and support in terms of crisis.
Socialism and capitalism is defined by whether private individuals or governments control factors of production and state resources. It has nothing to do with the outlandish examples you gave above. Socialism never advocates for everyone sitting at home and collecting salaries. Even communism with is an extreme form of socialism never advocated that. How will there be production if everyone sits at home? Where will the money to be used for running the state come from?
Socialism is mainly about wealth distributions, it attempts to distribute state's resources and wealth in a more equitable manner. Throughout history extreme capitalism had failed. A situation where a very few individuals control most of the state's resources and wealth had always led to anarchy. The poor masses eventually rise up and challenge the few elites, leading to revolutions, wars and upheavals. Europe suffered mass revolts when they practiced feudalism with is an extreme form of capitalism. The army, police and security forces can only keep the poor masses at bay for a while, one day they will rise up and kill the billionaires and trillionaires if they become hopeless and desperate.
Even communist Russia and communist China still had very good doctors and health services, in fact communist Cuba had some of the best doctors in the world, so I don't understand the examples you gave. Can you please give an example of a country that had ever practiced the kind of socialism you described above?
Minsk24: No we don't need complete Socialism especially we southerners... Socialism is best for a small population just like some Nordic countries are doing, when u have a big population like ours, its best to let private business and innovation thrive...
Actually man is a social animal. We could never have risen to the apex of the animal kingdom without being social. Whether on the family, clan, tribal or national level, some level of socialism promotes progress and stability.
As I said earlier, from practical experience complete Socialism (communism ) had proven to be a disaster.
Even the US that boasts of capitalism and credits it's development to capitalism is not exactly accurate. A lot of technologies were funded with public money and not private money, ie space exploration, nuclear bomb and others. Furthermore, during the sub prime mortgage crisis of 2008, the banks who caused the crisis were given trillions of public money as bail outs. During this coronavirus crisis, the Trump administration has spent trillions of dollars supporting private business. What's is capitalism if public resources are always used to bail out private businesses?
Minsk24: Chai, your reply has made me believe thar truly, people dy reason... Abeg drop your aza make i bless u this lovely Sunday.. Combining these two systems like China and Europe are doing is the best... Wherein the state controls some (critical) sectors and also provides welfare to ensure a level playing field for everyone while allowing private businesses to flourish...
This report card was frequently shared along with jokes mocking Trump for his alleged failing of statistics, near failing of English, and his overall 1.28 GPA. This report card image, however, is a fake.
One giveaway is the listed address for Donald Trump. While 85-15 Wareham Place is indeed the address of Trump’s childhood home, he only lived at this location for the first four years of his life. In other words, this was not his address when he attended Fordham University in 1964.
We reached out to Fordham for more information about this “report card,” and spokesman Bob Howe confirmed to us that the image was a fake, saying: “The image is a forgery, not an actual Fordham University transcript. Fordham University respects the privacy of its students and alumni, and follows federal law regarding the handling and release of academic records.”[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]
Since you know all about Trump's grades and which ones are fake and which ones are genuine, why not avail us the genuine results to shame all anti Trumpers. You guys did not let us rest concerning Buhari's Secondary School Certificate results, even after he presented a statement of result from his secondary school, and certified copy from WAEC and a print out from Cambridge.
Where is Trump's 'Secondary School Certificate' results?
CanadaOrBust: All I know is that all the major innovations of our time are from capitalist countries ( US especially, the bastion of capitalism). Anything from socialist countries is either copied or stolen from capitalists
You seem to have US complex. Most major innovations did not come from the US. Most scientific innovations actually started from Europe, ie Electricity, printing press, internal combustion engines, rocket technology, evolution, Germ theory, Astronomy, nuclear etc.
What the US does is steal manpower. They entice the best scientists (and those in other fields ) and then Americanise them and their innovations. Other typical very recent examples are Elon Musk and Hoan Ton-That.
Both systems have their strengths and weaknesses. The ideal system should be a harmonious blend of the two, which China and Europe is operating.
Untamed capitalism often lead to means of production being concentrated in few hands, leading to oligarchies, which in turn leads to huge disparity between the rich and poor. Such societies are eventually brought down by social tensions between the rich and poor. As the oligarchs get richer, the masses gets poor, until the poor masses revolts against the few rich elites.
A situation whereby 1% of the population controls 45% of a country's wealth, while the bottom 80% controls only 7% is unacceptable. That's a disaster waiting to happen.
Untamed socialism (communism ) is also as bad, if not worse than untamed capitalism. As all the factors of production is controlled by the state, the few elites controlling the state also form a sort of oligarchy and therefore control everything. They exploit and corrupt the system to their own advantage, while the masses suffer poverty and deprivation. Communism has the added flaw of inefficiencies in production and productivity.
Simplyleo: I used to think this old criminal has some education, but his recent utterances indicate he is not in anyway different from the stark ipob illiterates hailing his foolishness.
So a 1-day election in which social distancing can be perfectly practised is what the goat is comparing with children exercise that will last for at least 6 weeks? Won't the school children be in class for some orientation before the exam?
If the election is suspended on the ground of COVID 19, the implication is that an interim sole administrator must be appointed immediately the tenure of the incumbent expires. And who is to appoint the interim administrator? The president of course. The same goat and his i-peeg followers will still be the animals saying Buhari suspended election in those states so he appoint his puppet.
This foolish bastard keeps getting more disgusting by each minute of the day.
My brother, I am shocked at Omokri and his acolytes comparing an election to a series of examinations. First does Buhari even have the powers to cancel an constitutionally mandated election? Then, what happens if Buhari cancels the Edo elections? Remember the tenure of the state assembly would expire also. It simply means Buhari will appoint a sole administrator to govern the state. What will his party (PDP) say if Buhari cancel the elections and appoint a sole administrator?
Nigeria is not the only country cancelling or suspending exams this covid19 period. Most universities have either cancelled or suspended their academic session. Even if the WAEC exams holds, which tertiary institutions will they use the results to gain admission into?
Some people just open their mouths and spew rubbish and surprisingly, the elicit support from anarchist like him, who wish to destroy everything to feed their hatred.
BERNIMOORE: After breezing through the objective explanations above, You still went ahead to expose that you have comprehension problem that is the problem with you guys defending Tinubu Its like a huge part of your brain cant think relatively and apply simple information without you keeping to repeating already answered questions going round the table like a toddler you're.
To help you out again
He is only telling you process that should be followed to establish money laundering and you on the other hand felt insulted and feel it's unnecessary
Now comes to Establishing the content of the bullion vans
Magu is said to have set up committee on the matter but refused to act on its findings So, he has to go so that a fearless person expose the content and recomends the next line of action If you agree that Tinubu deserves not to be investigated Then you're in the league of those clamouring that Abass Hushpupi is a saint and should be let go.
Investigated for what exactly. If you say Tinubu should be investigated for the way he spent Lagos State money while still governor, I agree with you wholeheartedly. If you insist Tinubu should be investigated for defrauding Lagos State with any of his companies, I concur. But to investigate him because his bank decides to deliver cash to his home using bullion vans is preposterous. Even if the Bullion vans were used for illegal activities, the bank involved will be more liable than Tinubu.
The money laundering act never barred banks from giving their customers N80 billion naira in cash. What it specified are individual transactions. All individual transactions over certain limits must be done through the banks or a financial institution . A financial institution supplied the cash and he has not been proven to give any individual more than N5 million in cash.
WikiGuru: 1. Those Vans are registered to a company
2. The company is most likely (80% certain) registered with the necessary agencies; CBN, Corporate Affairs Commission, Credit Bureau, etc.
3. The Vans were driven by humans.
3. Those humans know where they took the money from.
4. People loaded the money with a MANIFEST, which most likely (90% certain) contains the actual amount, origin and final destination.
Finally, 5. Ever heard the word Subpoena?
The prosecuting council just has to subpoena the drivers of the Vans, who will under oath, give the name of the company contracted. The company gives the name of the bank, the bank produces the manifest, which will reveal the content and exact figure in those Vans.
Please note that, it is not a crime to move any amount of money around, so long as you are within the country. Again, you can have as much cash as possible in your home, no offence at all!
But,
Making or accepting cash payment exceeding 5million is a criminal offence if it is not done through a financial institution. See section 1 of the Money Laundering Act and the case of *ATOYEBI v. FRN (2017) LPELR-43831(SC)*
So, from the manifest, the actual amount in both Vans will definitely be revealed and if it is believed to be cash payments for anything at all, and it is above 5million, that is when the problem may arise.
Please don't attack me, I'm just a Wikipedia Editor who has vast knowledge in legal matters, emanating from my exposure to Articles on Wikipedia.
Do you have evidence that Tinubu accepted more than N5 million from any non financial institution? Do you also have evidence that Tinubu gave anyone more than N5 million without passing through a financial institution?
And you claim to have vast knowledge in legal matters.
ChoCho54: Hahahaha Jazz for Mass hypnotism really works!
Just pray the cabal has a rethink, else even you could be called to defend the source of all those wealth you listed.
Hatred really wears down the brain.
You asked a question, I provided answers, and now you are now asking me to provide the source of the wealth I listed. What do you want me to list - the list of all his salaries as mobil accountant or the list of all his salaries and entitlement as governor or ex governor? What of alpha beta, a company that at one time was collecting close to 10% of Lagos revenue as tax collection consultant for Lagos State?
Benz4pimp: You have said it all,Some nigerians are gullible!!!the law states that it is when your paying more than 5million,it must go through a financial institution... He might have shared 500 naira to the people,it’s his money!!!Tinubu is the most popular politician in Nigeria
Exactly, do they have any evidence Tinubu flouted the money laundering act? Do they have any evidence Tinubu paid anyone more than N5 million without going through the financial system? If Tinubu decides to gift N100,000 of his own money to 300 people, what's the business of busy bodies?
ChoCho54: After his ill-fated response about not working for government, Jagaban failed to tell us what he does for a living
HushTinbu!
He was a former accountant of Mobil He was a 2 time governor of Lagos State. So he collects millions in gratuity monthly. He is the owner of several big companies, ie Alpha Beta, TVC, and many others. He owns hundreds of properties including numerous hotels.
Tinubu fever is a very serious disease. Fortunately, it's not contagious.
majamajic: He said if it's non APC that did that same thing on election eve, won't he be probed ? My question , what concern SE with his questions ?
Or are u so blind to see that the North are closing in on him ? U are here calling the SE , u guys will never learn Let me tell u the plain truth , if he didn't drop his presidential ambitions , the new efcc boss go open his book in full , that's the game , be calling the SE
They have barn calling SE because most of the people that did not let us hear word again because of "Tinubu's Billion vans" are usually from the SE, as they are sworn enemies of Tinubu. Meanwhile, they have never complained or critiqued their own people who are also fames for spraying cash and giving out loads of money during social and political events.
Tinubu obviously withdrew his own cash from his own bank account (s) to gift his hundreds of supporters who came to his house on the eve of an election. Now, if you can make a crime out of gifts - including church donations, social donations and giving to beggars on the streets, be my guest.
Here is video of rich men from the south east giving out millions of naira (and simetimes dollars) at a single event, no one is calling for EFCC.
Blitz888: Oga stop hallucinating and get back to reality...
Those Vans will be traced to a bank.. The banks will reveal the content of the vans. The banks will also reveal the accounts from which those funds where funneled from. A forensic audit of the accounts will tell the whole story. Tinubu will have to tell the investigators what he needed all that money for. They will ask to see what the money was used for. Why will he be needing that much money on the eve of an elected in which he is an interested party...
If they want to nail him they will cos the odds are beautifully stacked against him.
Will all these questions be directed only to Tinubu everytime he withdraws money from his bank or for all and every cash transactions from all banks?
Racoon: Just imagine if the Bullion vans were spotted in the house of a non-APC member on the eve of that presidential election.Whatsoever all the hypocrites of this govt are thinking should happen to the person involved.
You guys - PDP, IPOB and allies, just like to make a mountain out of a mole Hill. They are just too obsessed with Tinubu. Bullion vans deliver money to both APC and non-APC members on a daily basis. You don't think that people managing corporate accounts with billions of naira would walk into a banking hall, withdraw millions in cash, and load the cash inside their car booths. People like Dangote, Otedola, Adenuga, Alakija, emeka ofor, etc will leave their house to go to a banking Hall when they need cash.
Delivering cash to a customer's house by a bank is not a crime. The crime would be if it can be proven that the money is proceeds from crime or the money was used for criminal activities.
saxywale1: Excellent job by the Republicans at the Lincoln Project. 10s of millions of views on fox, YouTube, twitter e.t.c. and the are just getting started with all the donations coming in. They are killing Trump..He might just run mad before the election. Biden doesn't even need to campaign.
The reviews on the whispers was 5 stars on every platform out there. Yahoo, msn, YouTube, twitter, tiktok and so on.
Wow. This ad is simply brilliant, it's genius. It seems Republicans are far better at campaign messaging than Democrats. This Lincoln Projects ads are hurting Trump more than any additional by the Democrats.
hakeem4: don’t mind this hypocrites. They want to destroy someone else’s church. But would come on Nairaland to wail that boko Haram is destroying their churches or government lockdown down is a fight against the church of Jesus
That's Nigerians for you. When Boko Haram were burning churches because Christians are infidels to them. Now, Christians are destroying another person's place of worship and their members are rejoicing.
What concerns the alleged accusations of child trafficking with destroying the church (shrine)?
dangoteinlaw: the poorly educated doesn’t realize the free mosquito nets their moms got in hospitals were all funded by USA via WHO. Infact eh I hate arguing on Nigeria filled threads, they are too ignorant.
They would prefer disease wipe out their whole village including their old parents that as long as it's a trump decision. Sometimes, I think they would support Trump to nuke their whole village just to show loyalty to him.
DonroxyII: After Trump is out, America will come back to WHO ....
America stand to lose alot from WHO because it is an Avenue for Neocolonialsim across all 3rd world countries ..... WHO fund gives America alot of diplomatic and charismatic advantage across most 3rd world nations.
Withdraw the Money, lose much more Money .... America will definitely come back to WHO ....
Trump is only using WHO as a scape Goat to protect his re-election due to Number of life and lives lost against Corona ... it is a campaign strategy... after election, he will come back or after his office.
WHO is so Guilty of the global Corona pandemic ... Trump is right .... But he really need to blame them because Democrats are gonna use the deaths of America against him .... Once they blame him , he blames WHO and he tells America that he has withdrawn their money from WHO ....
use the Money to create a huge Lab for America and Improve America CDC ... Trumps WIN, Democrats Lost
One of the best analysis I have read on the issue. It's all a campaign strategy. As revealed by John Bolton, all Trump's decisions are driven by re-election motives.
seanwilliam: what has america benefited from WHO??
America has been funding WHO for the past 15 years back to back with Americans tax payer money .. imagine that using a part of your earning to fund some organisations which dont have give you any benefits in return... and same organisation conspiring against you . Think about... china can take it up, Russia can take it up..
That's what I am saying, the US should also withdraw from UN, NATO, organization of American states, etc, because frankly, the US gains very little from these organisations if anything at all.
Just in the same way it did not make sense for the US to spend millions keeping an agent in China to monitor their CDC and to waste money funding a gobal pandemic office when it provided no benefit.
Why should you waste money buying fire extinguishers and fire alarm systems in your house when you have no fire, it's a waste of money. How many Nigerian homes or even offices waste money on fire extinguishers and alarm systems?
Daguccizgreat: Many of you on this forum just write whatever comes to your mind. Donald Trump ain't a fool and he knows what he's doing. WHO has been a huge disappointment since the outbreak of this pandemic. Britain left European Union and they are doing just fine. WHO needs America and not the other way round get it
Britain that is about to go into recession doing fine? Ignorance. The effects of Brexit has not hit yet, as they are still in the transition period, which will last 2 years.
igwegeorgiano: In actual sense WHO has not done much to salvage the ugly situation caused by the covid andemics dealing with world economy. So if USA is withdrawing, it's means a lot and I won't be surprised if China decides to start from where USA stopped but will China have same financial muscle to carry the WHO burden? I strongly doubt that.
Are you serious or joking? You are telling me China cannot donate $400 million to WHO if it wants too, or it will be a burden to China?
LaReinaa: This development is definitely going to affect most African countries but I won’t blame Trump on this.. there’s a whole lot WHO ain’t telling us about this ChineseVirus! They should be properly investigated.
Why won't you blame Trump's (as if you can ever blame trump for anything ). Why throw away the baby with the bath water? Why can the US as the largest contributor of WHO, call for a reform of WHO to make it more efficient? Will the destruction of WHO help stop other even deadly pandemics if it starts from China again?
