Family › Re: My Wicked Wife Didn't Buy Christmas Clothes For Our House Help by wirinet(m): 5:15pm On Dec 20, 2019
TonyeBarcanista:
How did you conclude that the wife ks wicked? Let us watch what we say towards people's spouses.

I am very sure that the wife acted the way did because of the discomfort she feels with a second "woman" enjoying the attention and niceties of her husband.

Honestly, I can NEVER fault her! I have seen first hand where lovely and nice househelp got pregnant for oga and he was asked to marry her as second wife - which he did!
Tonye I respect you more than your views here. It shows the black man as wicked, trifle and still suffer from slave mentality.
The girl in question is not even a house girl, she is simply a distant relative of the woman, whose parent are not well to do. The girl is baby sitting for the family while in return the family is taking care of the education and upkeep of the girl. I am certain the girl is schooling is not in the same standard as the woman's children.
Because the little girl is termed "house girl" does not render her any less human. Because the girls parents are poor does not mean the little girl is forbidden from feeling the spirit of Christmas. I am sure that the woman in question is a professed holy spirt filled, tongue speaking Christian. Christmas does not forbid showing love to "house girls"

Anyone who thinks a man has ulterior motives because he shows a little love to a less fortunate girl at Christmas, by asking his wife to buying Christmas dress along with his children's, needs to have his/her morals and psychology examined.

You see In this day and age where information is just one google search away, there is no need for unnecessary argument on things you can easily verify yourself.

Clinton was impeached for Obstruction of justice for directing his aids to lie to the special prosecutor, Ken Starr, about his affair with lewinsky

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_of_Bill_Clinton


P.s Bill Clinton has paid off sooo many women too. So don’t even go there.
That's why I said you guys lie with straight face without any conscience. Where did you get that Clinton directed his aids to lie to the special prosecutor? Even the Wikipedia link you Google only said
The Starr Report states that the following day, Clinton "coached" his secretary Betty Currie into repeating his denials should she be called to testify.
This is the flimsiest and weakest obstruction of Justice I have ever seen. Can it be compared to Trump's obstruction of Justice, where he actually drafted lies to be put out by his aids and family, instruct his aids and government officials not to testify, threatens and insults those testifying even during the testimony, hides information and instructs his aids to hide documents, etc.

The Republicans can justify impeaching a president for lying about having sex with his aid, but are crying blue murder for impeaching a president that instruct foreign countries to investigate a political opponents and lies about everything. Hypocrites is too mild a word to use to describe you guys

slyfoxxjoe:
Bill Clinton however was impeached for actual crimes: perjury and obstruction of JUSTICE not “lying about mouth action as you put it”
Which obstruction of Justice? Did Clinton refuse to testify to the special counsel? Did Trump instruct any member of his cabinet not to testify? Did Trump instruct Monica Lewinski not to testify? You guys lie without conscience.

Clinton was impeached for lying under oath (perjury) because he said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman". That's his only crime.

If it was Trump, he would have simply paid millions through his fixers to shut Monica Lewinski up or threaten her and her family, mafia style.

Those who transports themselves from Ikorodu, ketu and co. To Lagos Island, to and fro everyday will tell you why it's not a waste of money. cheesy
The guy has a point. Eventually it will be a waste. It's only a mad man that does the same thing over and over again and expect a different result.
Building new roads has not been proven to reduce traffic in the long run, in fact the opposite usually happens. More people will move in and buy cars thereby increasing congestion.

The lekki epe expressway is already congested as is, as people spend hours between ajah roundabout and lekki first roundabout. Imagine then adding traffic from the proposed 4th mainland bridge. Also add traffic from cars and tankers from the dangote refinery and the proposed epe free port. It will be a traffic catastrophe.

I remember when marwa dualised the ikorodu road from miles 12 to ikorodu. It took less than 20 years for ikorodu to become overcrowded and traffic became worse.

God obviously did not gift the blackman with futuristic planning ability. If he did, we would have been planning for futuristic mass transportation system like rail, (underground, overground) and marine. Even if you turn the whole of Lagos into roads, it will not stop traffic congestion. You need to speak development to other areas and even states and connect using rails.

They know what they are doing. Not that Trump has done a succinct wrong, but it is all inna bid to discredit him for the next election to lose his grip on the electorates.
Impeaching him is just a secondary target that came as a pry one but reelection is the real pry objective.

Yes, Trump could be loud and vocal such an attribute of Elistic Americans. But were they fear to him at the reps chamber? How can Pelosi say 'i hope they are fear to us' when the statement should I hope they are fear to the Americans. Do they want to remove him for just the democrats?

The trial can't see light at the rep'can dominated Senate!
So you mean asking Ukraine and China to investigate the Bidens is not a succinct wrong?

I used to tell people that liberalism is a sign of mental disorder.


A Democrats dominated house of Representatives Impeached president Trump and now wants a Senate dominated Republicans to also do so.

Imagine Pelosi saying "we hope they will be fair to us"........Was she fair to Trump.

Republicans should rubbish those articles when finally Pelosi got the nerves to send them.


In McConnell's voice "I am in no hurry"
You don't know Pelosi yet, she plays 3 dimensional political chess. Even Trump acknowledges her brilliance.

Don't worry, McConnell need not be in a hurry. What happens if the articles of impeachment is not sent to the senate before the next elections, and the Democrats takes over the senate. It will be the shortest and only presidential removal in the history of the world.

LordReed:
Glad you acknowledge that glaring deficiency but I'll go you one further and tell you that Trump's only thought process is how to grift. And with the power of the presidency he thought his grifting schemes will be easy. Check out his rhetoric before he became president, healthcare reform -easy, immigration reform - easy, trade reform - easy, North Korea - easy, etc. He is no longer saying that is he? Because he has seen that grifting as the president is not the walk in the park he thought it would be.

Many developed democratic countries have better healthcare and social amenities than the US so that talk of communism is a big fat lie.

There is no means by which Mexico pays for any wall, that is a fairy tale. The tariff they impose is paid for by the American purchasers and the funding for the wall he took from the Pentagon came from the American taxpayers.

Many of them know more about running a business or a government than Trump does. Trump is propped up by his near genius ability to manipulate for his own advantage. Lemme illustrate:

Former Forbes reporter Jonathan Greenberg said in 2018 that during the 1980s Trump had deceived him about his actual net worth and his share of the family assets in order to appear on the list. According to Greenberg, "it took decades to unwind the elaborate farce Trump had enacted to project an image as one of the richest people in America.
Trump has always been a fraud and a horrible businessman. He declares bankruptcy multiple times. Trump is the only businessman I know that can bankrupt a casino.

Here is ivanka in a moment of truth admitting that his father was $8 billion in debt about 30 years ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUc8ijxKdtE

Obviously he scammed Forbes to put him in the list.

I don't know where you have been since January but the Mueller report exonerated Trump from all this Russia nonsense.

The extent of Russian interference was paying for facebook ads supporting a client over another. The Russians had ads they supported both Trump and Clinton, that's it. That's your so-called Russian interference.
It seems Trump has infected his worshippers with a lying disease. Muller report never exonerated Trump and never called the Russian interference nonsense.
This is what the Mueller report said;

"A statement that the investigation did not establish particular facts does not mean there was no evidence of those facts.”

Mueller firmly established Russian interference to the benefit of Trump and detriment of Hillary;

"a Russian entity carried out a social media campaign that favored presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaged presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.”

“a Russian intelligence service conducted computer-intrusion operations” against the Clinton campaign and then released stolen documents.

Mueller found at least four acts by Trump in which all elements of the obstruction statute were satisfied – attempting to fire Mueller, directing White House counsel Don McGahn to lie and create a false document about efforts to fire Mueller, attempting to limit the investigation to future elections and attempting to prevent Manafort from cooperating with the government.

Mueller categorically stated, “while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him. ”
I don't know where you guys got the "Mueller exonerated Trump " from.

In 2008 during an interview with wolf blitzer of CNN, Donald Trump said Pelosi should have been impeached George W Bush for lying about the Iraq war. He also said the impeachment of Bill Clinton for a blòwjòb was stupid.

TRUMP: "Well, you know, when she first got in and was named speaker, I met her — and I'm very impressed by her. I think she's a very impressive person. I like her a lot. But I was surprised that she didn't do more in terms of Bush and going after Bush. It was almost — it just seemed like she was going to really look to impeach Bush and get him out of office, which personally I think would have been a wonderful thing."

BLITZER: "Impeaching him?"

TRUMP: "Absolutely. For the war, for the war. Well, he lied! He got us into the war with lies. And, I mean, look at the trouble Bill Clinton got into with something that was totally unimportant, and they tried to impeach him — which was nonsense. And yet, Bush got us into this horrible war with lies — by lying. By saying they had weapons of mass destruction. By saying all sorts of things that turned out not to be true."

oghale23:
On why the president decided to ask the Ukraine president to look into Joe Biden was because of the Video that was released after he announced that he will be running for president. In that video he bragged about withholding I billion dollars of aid to the Ukraine except they Fire a prosecutor investigating the company his son was working in. In which is a crime called quid pro quo. The company was in Ukraine not in the US. His father was the Vice president and in charge of Ukraine matters.
Withholding the 1 billion dollars until Shokin was fired was official US policy and not Biden's. That was why he said "we will not give you the money" and when the Ukraine president said you are not the president, Biden said call him. All the US diplomats in Ukraine and the state department knew, and the Republican congress knew that that was the official US position. In the case of Trump, only he and Gulianni were involved. Even the state department under John Bolton distanced themselves from the "drug deal".

On the Nepotism part. The president can appoint anybody who he deems fit for the Job and in my view, his daughter and her husband are doing well.
Agreed, but is that why the president appointed his daughter who has zero working experience into senior white house position, or his son in law with zero foreign policy experience into senior foreign relations position?
If you insist Trump can appoint anyone he likes into white house positions, why then do you say a private Ukrainian company cannot appoint anyone they like into their board?
On the Guilliani part, he is going to appear before the senate judiciary to explain his dealings with Ukraine and talk about his findings of his investigation. So we will see what comes out.
I doubt Gulianni has the guts to testify under subpoena, but even if he appears before senate, under what authority will he testify? What position doeshe hold that gives him credibility. He is not a state department official or an investigative official.

Yes, you might not like the president, but the seat he occupies and the US constitution requires him to look into corruption before he gives tax payers money to other countries, somewhat it will not be wasted.
If this was truly the case, he should have raises these concerns before the aid passed through the various departments and the congress for approvals. It's betrays malicious intent to withhold the aid without any explanation after going through all the approval process. Besides, aids were approved and given in 2017 and 2018 without raising any concerns, why now?

Yes, the majority can do what they want but it should fair and according to the rules and constitution.

Previous Presidents have exerted executive privileges over subpoenas and they have gone to court to settle disputes. So it is the process.

When The democrats were asked why they didn't go to the court. They said there is no time. So they want to impeach the president quick without following th the rules.
The president has the right to challenge subpoenas which is meant to be settled in court.
The constitution gives the house, the sole responsibility of impeachment. They can choose whichever way they want to go about it. They are free to make their rules.

why was it only democrats that the russian attacked was focused at?

collusion means an agreement, a deal, there isnt a deal, russia wanted trump to win and they did that

they interfered in the election, from day 1 i knew that collusion story didnt hold water
I believe even though there was no formal agreement or deal between Trump and Russia, it was Trump that asked the Russians on live TV to hack Hillary Clinton's emails. He invited the Russians to interfere in the US elections.

Recall the Muller report did not indict Trump. Also, the Inspector General Report has indicated the FBI involved in a lot of lies, misrepresentation, and falsification of evidence, so they could get a warrant from FISA court to spy on Trump. From day one, they wanted Trump impeached because he is uncontrollable. I never liked Trump, but he is delivering on his electoral promises.
The Mueller report could not indict Trump. Mueller was taking orders from the justice department and the justice department told him he could not indict a sitting president.

You are exaggerating the IG report. The IG admitted that there were many lapses in obtaining the FISA from the court, but it was not done maliciously. Abuse of the FISA warrant process is fairly common and people had been complaining for ages. Investigators often cheat to get FISA warrants faster. It was not unique to Trump campaign.

Who wanted Trump impeached? The FBI or the justice department?

Which promise is he delivering on? Is it his taxes that he said he will release? Is it the wall that Mexico would pay for? Yes the US economy is doing well, it had been doing well for the last 10 years. The US dominate the world service sector, the US had been ramping up its oil production (mostly shale) for the past 10 years. Trump is trying to drag consumer products with China which would be a difficult task, as US just doesn't have the supply chain and skills (and even infrastructure) required.

Let's admit that the media does not like Trump and actively blows out of proportion any thing he says or does.
Clinton got over 65m votes . It's a breeze for her to get 700 of her supporters most likely her donors to write anything.
Agreed that there is a no love lost between Trump and popular media, but what does that have to do with anything. Trump had never liked the media, so it's understandable that the media also does not like Trump. It's similar to the case in Nigeria, Buhari has always hated the press from his military dictatorship days, and the media too does not like Buhari.
The only difference in Trump case is that the constitution prevents Trump from persecuting the media. He has tried to, but the courts will not allow him to.

What has Clinton got to do with it? Do you have proof that Hillary Clinton asked her supporters and donors to write the letter? All allegations against trump is attributed to Clinton, deepstate or the Democrats. You don't even want to discuss the allegations themselves, that is called escapism.

Obstruction of Congress is a made up crime. Trump asserted executive privellege and requested his colleagues not to appear before the witchunt committee led by Schiff. He went to thecourts seeking an interpretation . Schiff does not want to wait for the court, because they badly need to impeach the president on Wednesday.
Going to the third branch of govt is now an obstruction of Congress and now is an impeachable offence.
Are you insinuating that executive privileged stops the executive arm of government from being answerable to the congress? So whenever the congress summons the president or any other member of the executive, he can cite executive privileged to avoid answering to congress. I wish Hillary (through Obama) had cited executive privileged to avoid testifying to congress in the numerous Bengazi and email server investigations.
You are saying the executive is no longer answerable to the legislature. That's the very definition of dictatorship. Because, the legislature is supposed to represent the people.

In the case of abuse of power The Ukrainian President said he was not blackmailed. But the Dems say that Trump coerced him. The transcript of the call is out And nowhere does it imply blackmail , only that the media reporting selectively edited the call.
It's not about what Zelensky said, it's about what the diplomats and state department officers involved with Ukraine says. Zelensky would be stupid to say he was blackmailed by Trump. He has clearly said, he does not want to involve himself or his country with America's domestic politics. If he said Trump pressured him to investigate the Bidens, the Republicans and people like you would have descended on him and Ukraine. You already accuse Ukraine of being anti-Trump

Joe Biden got paid 900000 USD for lobbying on behalf of Ukraine.
Proof and details, and the crime according to US laws.

Hunter Biden was being paid 1m USD by Burisma per year for 3 plus years just for seating on its board. He never travelled to Ukraine by the way so how can I be a board member and never even travel to the main theatre of operations, never mind that he had been just been kicked out of the Navy over drugs a month before he was made a board member.Hunter can't even speak Ukrainian.
Same thing - state the crime and laws broken. Was the law broken by Hunter Biden US laws or Ukrainian laws? Sitting on board of companies is no big deal. During annual general meetings, anyone can be appointed to the board of any company. It could be for any number of reasons determined by the shareholders. Okonjo iweala is a board member of over half a dozen international companies. T. Y. Danjuma is a member of board of director of a dozen companies. Who sits on a board of a company is the perogative of the company. It's not the business of anybody else and it can never be a crime. Hunter Biden was not the only person on the board of Burisma.

Victor Shokin was sacked because he was investigating Burisma and had also frozen some of its assets. In Feb 2016 Latvia authorities notified Ukraine that they had flagged some transactions thru their financial system from Burisma to Hunter Biden and three other Burisma board members. Then in March 2016 Biden forced Shokin out by threatening to withhold aid if Shokin was not fired. Joe gave them 6 hours to fire him or the aid 1b USD would be withdrawn. There is a video of him bragging how they had to fire the son of a bitch ie Victor Shokin.
Usual false narrative of Republicans. Victor Shokin was alleged by anti corruption organisations in Ukraine, the EU, The UK, the IMF and the US of being corrupt and aiding corrupt oligarchs. They all demanded his sacking in unison. So it was not Joe Biden's saying sack Shokin because he is investigating Burisma.

4 witnesses including Shokin were denied visa to America by the US ambassador.Shokin was also poisoned twice. The US ambassador gave The New prosecutor a do not investigate list. The aid delivered to Ukraine was by advice from Yavanovich the ambassador who testified the other day was also being funneled to a George Soros NGO active in Ukraine.
Usual right wing conspiracy theories.
Witnesses for what? Who was conducting an investigation that need witnesses? The Democrats led house only called for witnesses some 3 weeks ago, and the senate is yet to decide whether to call witnesses or not.

In addition Obama sent Ukraine blankets and biscuits instead of lethal aid. Which Trump did this year. Dems are claiming that withholding of vital aid that Obama never provided is detrimental to America's national security.
Yes everybody agreed that Trump's aid to Ukraine was better than Obama's, the bone of contention was the tying of conditions (investigate the Bidens) to the aids.

Wirinet with all respect does Bidens action required the president to demand investigations ?
Yes, the president can demand investigations if he thinks a crime had been commited, like he demanded investigations into the FISA warrant that started the Russia interference probe. He can however not demand personally for foreign leaders to investigate the Bidens or any other US citizens (especially with blackmail ). He has the justice department who can liaise with other countries through legitimate means to investigate crimes commited in foreign countries.
The irony in this whole Biden issue is that Barr and the justice department wanted nothing to do with the Ukraine issue.

More than 700 historians sign letter calling for House to impeach Trump
HISTORIANS’ STATEMENT ON THE IMPEACHMENT OF PRESIDENT TRUMP

We are American historians devoted to studying our nation’s past who have concluded that Donald J. Trump has violated his oath to “faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States” and to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” His “attempts to subvert the Constitution,” as George Mason described impeachable offenses at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, urgently and justly require his impeachment.
President Trump’s numerous and flagrant abuses of power are precisely what the Framers had in mind as grounds for impeaching and removing a president. Among those most hurtful to the Constitution have been his attempts to coerce the country of Ukraine, under attack from Russia, an adversary power to the United States, by withholding essential military assistance in exchange for the fabrication and legitimization of false information in order to advance his own re-election.
President Trump’s lawless obstruction of the House of Representatives, which is rightly seeking documents and witness testimony in pursuit of its constitutionally-mandated oversight role, has demonstrated brazen contempt for representative government. So have his attempts to justify that obstruction on the grounds that the executive enjoys absolute immunity, a fictitious doctrine that, if tolerated, would turn the president into an elected monarch above the law.

https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN12Z2SL?
So it's now about Clinton's and no longer about Hunter and Joe Biden? I had thought Trump's defence on why he blackmailed the Ukrainian president to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden was because Hunter Biden commited a crime in Ukraine, now you guys are adding another defence of Clinton committing a crime in Qatar.

It will be an interesting senate trial. The senate would try Joe and Biden Biden, Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff and probably Obama instead of Trump. So finding any of them gully automatically means Trump is innocent.

My mom was deflowered by a rapist and all she ever asked of me was to get married as a virgin. Till today, she doesn't know that I was raped too. She once told me she will die a sad woman if I don't keep her request. My father died when I was a girl. My mother sold her clothes to raise us.
If I leave, he'll tell her I'm not a virgin anymore and she will never have that peace she has now. I can't watch my mum suffer for something she didn't do. My mum once used to be hypertensive. What if it comes back due to shock? My aunt used to mock my mom over the rape before our very eyes and my mum simply told her that one wasn't her fault but her children will marry honourably. My mother's pride is the reason I let the rapist walk free. This man knows and will tell everyone.

I'm not yet strong enough to relocate us very far away or foot any drastic bill. That's a major reason I've been tolerating. The advise from those around me doesn't help either. That's why I seek public opinion
Sorry for your predicament. It's part of life. I hope you listen to honest neutral advice here and dump the fool. If you think you are having emotional issues now, wait until you marry him, your troubles will multiply a hundred fold.

First you need to come clean with your mum. First you need to go closer to her and talk to her about everything going on in your life, then gradually let her know you were raped. Don't hammer it straight like that, you can start by letting her know you are no longer a virgin. If you marry the guy, he will hold this information over your head like an albatross.

It's a pity you do not understand the meaning of love, else you would not have belched out "he loves me to death", love does not include violence, blackmail, intimidation, distrust and possessiveness. He is looking for a possession and not a wife.

IBB did not carry a coup against a democratically elected govt, he overthrew an illegitimate govt so that is technically not a coup. Only Nzeogwu and Bubu in Nigeria history overthrew democratically elected govts and Nzeogwu is no more so Bubu needs to pay for his treason!
You are simply trying to dig yourselve out of a hole. You are now twisting the very definition of a coup to suit your hatred for just one man. If you term Buhari's 6 odd month's stint as military head of State as an illegitimate government, then what will you say of decree 24 of 1999 otherwise known as the 1999 constitution given by Abdulsalam Abubakar? Is it a legitimate document? Was the government of OBJ and others since then legitimate governments?

What of Gowon that created 12 states, Obasanjo that created 19 states, IBB that created 21 states and Abacha 36 states, are all the states illegitimate?

Even the government of Shagari was imposed by Obasanjo, an illegitimate government according to you. Can the Shagari government then be considered legitimate?

You said Sowore deserves to be convicted for intent but you dont believe Bubu should be prosecuted for actually overthrowing a democratically elected govt. Even till now he believe his overthrowing of Shagari's is justified.
So what are we saying? A crime is a crime no matter how long! Has he apologized to the Nigerian people? Was he given a state pardon? By who?
You are not talking reasonably. Are you insinuating that of all the people that participated in a coup in the history of Nigeria, only Buhari should be brought out and prosecuted. Are you aware that a military coup often involves dozens of military officers? What of all the other military officers and civilians that had participated in the history of Nigeria? What of civilians that served and cooperated with military regimes? What of shonekan that was installed by IBB, a coup plotter himself.

You guys just seem to have an axe to grind with Buhari. Pure hatred, nothing else.

Yeye dey smell, where were you when the same law granted bail to several people who were charged for treason - even under a military government.

We have plenty of them: Fem Falana, Gani Fewehinmi, and a host.

Sit down there and be manufacturing your own law as you want.

Just tell your bosses to obey the law, simple!
False.
Femi Falana and Galileo Fawehinmi were never charged for treason. Very few Nigerians have ever been charged with treason. Most of the time IBB locked up many people for years without any charge. In fact in the history of Nigeria, only 6 people had ever been charged with treason - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:People_convicted_of_treason_against_Nigeria

Gani fawehinmi was locked up in maiduguri under very harsh weather conditions which led to health complications that eventually killed him.

You people argue anyhow with conjectures and assumptions with no facts whatsoever.

Let us carry out an experiment shall we?

Walk to the front of a police station anywhere in the world and say "I want to rape someone) or "I am looking for somebody to rape" and see what happens.

You can make such a statement in secret or before people who do not care but when in the face of the law and you make such statements you will immediately be arrested.

Another example, go on social media e.g twitter and post "I am looking for a woman to rape" and see how quickly Twitter would lock your account and you know why? It is because it is against the law.

Sowore does not require action or arms in order to be found guilty. Same way a COUP PLOTTER is guilty of simply Plotting a coup even when he or she does not actually carry it out.

How do you think COUP PLOTTER as a word came about? It is someone who plans but does not necessarily carry out the action of a coup.

You need a crash course on law.
Simply plotting a coup is going too far, simply hearing of a coup and not immediately reporting it will get you jailed if you escape the death penalty.

Rubbish. If GEJ was not a democrat per excellence, the likes of Amaechi and Lai Mohammed would be in jail today

“Let us remind the presidency, in case it has forgotten, that election fraud triggered a civil war in Algeria in the early 1990s, led to the killing of over 1,000 people in post-election riots in Kenya in 2007/2008 and fired a near revolution in Iran in 2009/2010
GEJ democrat per excellence? How? Even GEJ's wife and children would not hero worship the way you worship the former President. GEJ's government that harassed media houses, national assembly and APC offices?

How was it possible for Amaechi to be in jail today, when he was governor during Jonathan's administration? Please explain.

Here is a review of some "freedom" enjoyed during the tenure of your democrat per excellence as posted by a nairaland member with intact memory.

The bolded statement above proves Sowore was not planning a coup against Buhari because he LOST the 2019 presidential election, otherwise why should he be going against the sharia chief justice and the governors. This basically proves Sowore was screaming against the general political malaise in our land, that has been devastating the country since 2015.
That general malaise in our land was voted for by the electorates. Why do you feel you and Sowore have the right to deny the people that voted for Buhari, the fruits of their general malaise?

Of course we Igbos knew Buhari will be a disaster, and we Igbos have been vindicated. In the past we Igbos supported Yaradua so everyone knows Igbos had nothing against Fulanis. But when it came to Buhari, Igbos were smart to the tricks. The vindication of Igbos and the SS has been total. No one or section, will ever add Igbos and SS people to the list of those that contributed in running NIgeria aground since 2015.
That's the problems with you igbos, you feel everybody else must accept your choices and opinions. There are over 200 tribes in Nigeria, why should other tribes hate Buhari because you hate him? The igbos hate Buhari and Buhari hate the igbos, your love or should I say hate affair doesn't concern other tribes.
Trump had never gotten beyond 50% approval ratings in the US, and in fact lost the popular votes, that doesn't mean those that hate him should undermine his government.

Buhari has about 3 odd years left, you guys need to start planning for the next president.
