obixcel:Muller did the best he could under the straitjacket conditions he was given, namely; He must report and take directions from the AG He cannot indict a sitting president He is limited to investigating only collusion Trump refused to be questioned, but only sent in written deposition (written by his lawyer), half of which said I don't recall. Even with all these limitations, Muller made a strong case for obstruction of Justice, the report of which he hope will be sent to congress, but AG Barr has refused to release the full report till date. |
obixcel:This is just day 2 of the hearings, there are many more days to go with many other witnesses. The Dems are trying to build a case from the outside in. They are trying to show that the firing of jovanovitch was part of Trump's and Gulianni's plan to get people who might oppose the quid quo pro out of the way. She is a well known anti corruption crusader, she would have not have agrees to blackmailing the Ukrainian government. The dems want to know the excuse for her firing. Sondland and Vindman who have first hand information are yet to testify publicly. |
CTPlayer:Once again, Muller could not prove collusion between Russian government agents and Trump because Trump refused to cooperate. He was stonewalling. All his close allies that were forced to testify are going to jail for lying. Trump also engages in witness intimidation to prevent people from testifying. It's like a murder suspect that refuses to testify or even attention a court hearing, asks all those who witness the murder directly not to testify and intimates those who are willing to testify. He then goes to announce "no murder, witch hunt and sham trial. That's the tactics of Trump. |
CTPlayer:Not one person has argued that Trump can't fire ambassadors at his pleasure, what Yavanovitch and others are angry about is why smear her reputation? A reputation she built over a 30 year career. What do you mean she sucked? She sucked at what? Why insults and hate people who have not offended you in an way? That's evil. |
CTPlayer:The process crime was lying to congress. Roger Stone lied to congress to cover up for Trump's collusion. The Muller report did not say there was no collusion, what the report specifically said was that he could not prove collusion, given that Trump and his administration refused to cooperate and was engaging in obstruction of Justice. The same thing is playing out with the impeachment hearings. Trump and the state department is obstructing justice by instructing all officials with first hand information not to appear before congress. They would then go on and say look, the people testifying do not have first hand information. If someone with first hand information goes against Trump's instructions and actually comes to testify, Trump and his Nazi allies would attack the persons personality and call them traitors or never Trumpers. That is always their strategy to cover for Trump's crimes. If they are not afraid, and actually want first hand information, why not ask Gulianni or Pompeo to testify. Don't worry, Alexander Vindman who had first hand information would testify. You guys are already calling him a spy. |
tsinzu:Did you read my link that the discussion was not Joe Biden's but that of US and EU governments, that provide aid to Ukraine? Did any state department department official or government official raise any eye brow? Did Joe Biden "boast that he demanded for the sacking of Viktor Shokin because he was investigating his son? Once you guys hold unto a false narrative, you never let go. More report of EU demand to sack Viktor Shokin; Envoys pushed to oust Ukraine prosecutor before Biden |
CTPlayer:False that's just campaign slogan. Trump's actions betrays Trump first, then Russia second. USA takes third position in terms of priority. |
coluka:That Burisma is suspected of corruption is not in doubt, what is being asked is Hunter Biden's crime. What exactly is he being accused of? Are you guys insinuating that if Burisma is found guilty of money laundering, then all directors and staff is also guilty of money laundering? Then we now have to find Joe Biden's crimes? The request to fire Viktor Shokin was official US and EU policy and not Joe Biden's personal request. Victor Shokin was being accused of sabotaging the investigations and prosecution of corrupt Ukrainians including the owner of Burisma. EU hails sacking of Ukraine’s prosecutor Viktor ShokinTrump and his Nazi allies are spreading the false narrative that it was Joe Biden that pressured the Ukrainians to sack Viktor Shokin because he was investigating Hunter Biden. |
CTPlayer:Hitler did not invade Poland a day after taking office. He became German chancellor 30 January 1933 and invaded Poland 1 September 1939, 6 years after he assumed office. It takes time for a narcissistic dictator to consolidate power. They need time to purge all those who disagree with them and install yes men in all spheres of government, including the legislature and judiciary. That's the phase Trump is in now. If he comes back a second term, then you will see the full extent of his dictatorial tendencies. |
garetz:You must live in a dream world, maybe in a matrix simulation. Which all races love Trump? How many blacks, Latinos, Asians, other minorities voted Trump in 2016? Below is the result by demographics. The difference in the next election will even be wider as all these groups had been offended by Trump. Trump can never win the popular vote even if he competed against the least Democratic candidate, as he can never win new York or California. He relies on the small rural states to win the electoral college.
|
EasterDell:Don't mind them, less than 100 years ago, infant mortality rate was alarming, in fact only about 1 in 5 children live beyond 5 years of age. Our population remained stagnant for centuries. Then the white man brought his medicine and infant mortality rate dropped drastically, no more "abiku", "baba tunde" or "baba jide", our population then started skyrocketing. Meanwhile, some people are still blaming the white man for trying to depopulate us. Would it not be more effective to deny us western medicine and watch our children die in millions? Since we are too lazy to research and create our own medicine. |
CTPlayer:Truly you are as vile as the nazis, how do you equivalence the physical attack on protesters, killing one and injuring 28 others, with pulling down a statue. You guys must value a statue more than the lives of humans. Tell your god, Trump to visit a black Country before his presidency is over to show he does not have disdain for black people. In fact tell him to visit a black African country at least once in his life. Imagine US president that has never stepped his foot in a black nation in his life and you are saying he loves blacks. |
Zooposki:I wish it were true, and the government actually key into it. The major problem of Nigeria is our population and population growth. Imagine, more babies are born in Nigeria than all the babies born in Europe including Russia every year. Out unchecked population grown is responsible for most of our socio economic problems. Imagine, we are earning the same revenue though oil today when our population is around 200 million as we were earning in the early 70s when our population was less than 50 million, and you think poverty will not increase and cause socio economic problems? On a wider term, we humans ( homo sapiens ) need to control our population. The earth has finite space and finite resources. We are nearing the threshold of an equilibrium population whereby we will start creating an imbalance in the ecosphere and biosphere. The earth was never designed to cater for 10 billion humans not to talk 20 billion humans. Malthus already warned us with his Malthusian Theory of Population in the 16th century, but advances in science has been able to delay the chaos the theory proposed. |
CTPlayer:False narrative. There is no call transcript, it's more of a call memo, and the memo itself warned that it was not a word for word transcript. Aid was help up for months with no explanations to anybody, while Gulianni took up the role of chief envoy to Ukraine to pressure the Ukraine government to investigate the Biden's for corruption. Aid was release after the whistleblower reported the issue to the justice department and the justice department explained the implications of further delay to the administration. If the money was not released by 30th of September, it will go back to the US treasury and will be lost for this financial year. Zelensky was trying to avoid angering Trump and at the same time navigate the precarious position between the Democrats and Republicans. He cannot be seen to be taking position with either side. |
garetz:Trump must be a demi god of sorts. All the bureaucracrats hate him, the FBI hate him, most of his political appointees hate him, the state department hate him, the press hate him, in fact close to 60% of Americans hate him. The only people that love him are his Nazi, white supremacist, evangelical and white male, blue collar rural dwellers and of course Putin. I honestly don't know where to put Nigerians worshippers living in Nigeria. |
Anduku:He did not need to meet Trump. All the over 200 US ambassadors do not need to meet Trump. They carry out US foreign policies without day to day interruptions from the president. President zelensky asked him why the aid was being held up by Trump. He could not answer and no one told him why. Yes his testimony is mainly hearsay, because he was not involved in the new Ukraine policy as directed by Gulianni. He was left out of the loop. Afterall, all the people he said he heard are alive, and not one has denied. They would be called to deny or collaborate his hearsay. Taylor said he is not anybody's witness, he was simply called to testify before the US house as required by law. |
Blackfriday:Bone that thing. Obamas job creation record in the last 3 years was better than Trump's First 3 years. Trump and fox news only have better records in propaganda. Trump’s job growth falls short of Obama’s last three years |
umarshehu58:Can you force someone to pray? Should not prayers come from the heart. The very act of threatening someone to pray, either with divorce or with gun is antithetical to true religion. |
nextdoor84:What do you mean by igbo origin? What is the etymology of the word igbo. You guys from abia and Anambra try to define who and what igbo is and coarse all others into your definition of igbo. So what is igboid origin? What is the origin of igboid origin? What you guys fail to understand is that people migrate from all over the place. In Nigeria, especially along the rivers Benue and Niger, migration along the river played a crucial role in migration of the tribes. Quite recently, I use to think that my people, the itsekiris migrated mainly from ijebu, ilaje and Bini, but recently I met a guy who is igala from Benue. He has itsekiri marks, he has itsekiri physical structure and even itsekiri sounding name, but had never been to any itsekiri land. It was later I leant that some itsekiris migrated from Benue along the river niger. Imagine passing all the way from igala, through igboland, through Urhobo land, all the way to warri. That's why it is difficult to label itsekiris as Yoruba, because there are migrations from other areas. Same with some so called igboid tribes, like Anioma, Ika, egbema, yes there was migration from Igboland, but there was also migrations from other tribes. |
Lehksyen4life:Interesting. So you mean that in Islam, the husband will answer for the wife on judgement day? What happens if she does salat just to please you and stops, say 5 years or 10 years into marriage, will you divorce her? What happens if in the future any of your children stop doing salat or even converts to Christianity? Will you disown them. Some suggests they should be killed. Religion seems to be the number one problem of Africa. |
zeeprince:Name one Muslim country that is rich as a result of hard work and production and not as a result of relying on oil. If oil should crash today, most Arab countries except UAE to suddenly become poor. Mecca and medina are tourist attractions that had been attracting millions of tourists for centuries. Other less popular religious tourist sites are Prayagraj in india where over 120 million worshippers converge for the Kumbh Mela, along the river ganges. The Vatican and even Oshogbo along the Osun river for the Osun festival. |
The president has no powers to sack the vice president, only the national assembly has that power through impeachment. According to the constitution the president is not required to transfer power to his Vice, anytime he leaves Nigeria. He is only required to transmit power if he is going on an official holiday or if he is temporarily incapacitated or unavailable. Past presidents did not hand over to their vice anytime they went on foreign trips. In the same vain, I have not seen any governor transmit power to their deputy when the leave their states, even on holidays. |
MicroBox:Sex is not a right by for any one male or female. It is a choice, a consensual choice. There is no must. If he does not feel like it, she cannot rape him or divorce him. It you guys that religion has deleted some of your neurons, sex is not a right. Lazy running away from religion? Who has religion help? Certainly not China or Japan or even modern day Europe. Prayer did not make China the second biggest economy in the world, planing and hard work did. Prayer did not make Saudi Arabia rich, petroleum resources in the ground did, unless you are saying prayer put the oil in the ground. Prayers did not make Japan rich. With all the prayers Nigeria does fives times a day, 365 days a year, Nigeria is still one of the poorest countries in the world. In fact the amount of time a community and country wastes in praying correlates to the amount of poverty in such community or country. Of the top 10 richest persons in the world, over half are atheists. Prayer (and juju) does not respond to the laws of economy. Let me add. In my family my wife does all the praying, while I do all the working, and yet it is I thar bring in all the money. If prayer brings in money, she would be a billionaire by now. I often ask her what will happen to the family if I also go to church almost everyday and spend the whole of Friday night in night vigil and unable to function properly on Saturdays? we'll all starve. |
dbestuncle:Loves who? He loves himself. Someone that loves another does not subject the person to psychological and mental torture, just because of a flimsy reason. He has not spoken to her or taken care of her psychological and material needs for 2 years, and you are talking about love. |
MicroBox:Sex is a basic right in Islam, but not a basic right in the constitution. Unless you advocate we jettison the constitution and adopt the sharia as our supreme law. What happens if she refuses sex, or if she due to one condition or the other can't have sex. Does he rape her or find another woman. Why is sex so crucial to muslim men? I honestly do not understand. Religion is simply mass hypnotism and mind control. That has been the role of religion throughout recorded history. It's simply a tool used by a selec few to control the masses. How else do you think religious or spiritual leaders can get people to blow up themselves or drink poison? Forget big bang, forget creator. The most important thing to all living things - plant and animals is survival, and to survive in a less painful manner. |
abbey621:That's the problem with Muslims in general and Nigerians as a whole, you want to impose your religion (apart from other views like political and moral views) on others; that's fundamentalism. And it often leads to lots of conflicts, both within the family and nationally ). This difficult not use to be so during my secondary school days. I went to Catholic school and there were lots of Muslims, there was no single conflict, we were all friends (and still friends today). I did Hsc in sokoto, we easily mixed with Hausa fulaniu muslims with no conflict at all. They attend their prayers, we attended ours, no conflicts whatsoever. I knew lots of families with Muslim father's and Christian mothers, we felt the love and respect within the family, no conflicts at all. You should learn that religion is a personal journey, you cannot take any other person with you. It is a personal relationship between you and your god. It should not be between you, another person(s) and God. I for one am not religious, my wife is a pentecostal Christian, we all respect each others views and space. Occasionally I follow her and the children to church to show moral support. That's it. No conflict whatsoever. As the proverb goes, you can force a horse to the river, but you cannot force the horse to drink. If she had never been a strong muslim praying 5 times a day when he met and married her, what makes him think she would start praying 5 times a day after 5 years of marriage? What's the use if he see her praying 5 times a day, but knows she does not really believe or like praying 5 times a day? It's all to reinforce his believe that he has absolute control over his wife. |
You sound like one of those people that peddle hatred. Every issue is looked at from the negative side. An innocent advice by an emir to his people is used to propagate hatred on the Emir. He even absolved the igbos and blamed his people instead. Maybe you would have been happier if he condemn the igbos and absolved his people. Maybe you would be happier if the Kano state indigenes blame igbos for abducting their children and start attacking igbos in kano FriendNG:What are you talking about here? Maybe you are responding to another thread. In this particular thread, the Emir was responding to children abducted in Kano and found in Onitsha. As a leader you should try to stop the abduction first, charge the accused to court before you talk about the victims share of blame.As an Emir, you want him to stop the abduction and charge the accused to court? How? What powers does he have to do that? Where on earth did you got the information that these 9 kids were Kidnapped while begging on the street? Some were Kidnapped alongside with their mother, they later released the mother and left with the children. Can you call all these as an act of neglectWhere did you get the information that the children were abducted together or individuallyon their way to school? 3 to 5 years old going to school in kano? I thought you guys always insults the northerners for not sending children to school and turning them into almajiris? So now they all go to school? Please provide links where children were kidnapped with their mothers and the mothers later released. A child was on his way back home from school and he was abducted & someone tells me it is the parents fault.If is abroad (USA or UK), it's the parents fault. The police would blame the parent because it's the parents responsibility to ensure the child gets to and from school safely. Social services might even take away the child from the parent due to negligence. When Madeleine Beth McCann was abducted in Portugal 12 years ago, the parents were arrested by the British Police. Although they were later released due to public outcry, the girl was never found. Besides, these kidnappings weren't just random, they were well planned and organised. Instead of blaming the victims of this atrocious act, you're blame the community. This is like blaming a rape victim. Just because u are privileged to be a leader by an accident of birth doesn't give u the right to speak so arrogantly.That's what Emir sanusi has been trying to do. He wants to change the mindset of the average Hausa fulani. He preaches against the almajiris system, he advocates for the education of children, especially the girl child, he preaches against giving birth to children you can't take care of. All these have put him in conflict with the powers that be in the Conservative north. Indirectly he is giving the abductors an upper hand, because there is not a single sentence where he criminalised the abductors but he criminalised the victims.Here is just 1; “;I am not saying others are not guilty , I know tomorrow people will start saying I am blaming parents for abduction of their children. I know my statement is always misconstrued. I did not say they are not guilty, but Hausa man himself observed in a proverb that ‘if the fly is stubborn, the candy is sweet’,” the emir said. |
arinpe16:My sister, you have received enlightenment. You have been free from the hypnotism and mind control of religion and want to asset your dignity and freedom as a human being. Religion is a mind control tool to keep you perpetually a slave to others. The redded quote gets me very angry. He eats your food and have sex with you but still keeps malice with you. That's sadistic. All with the excuse of you don't pray enough. Is he God? What happens if you refuse him sex, will he rape you or throw you out of the house? Anyway, you have to realised, you are highly disadvantaged here, because you have kids. He will abandon the children if you dare leave him, and the children will suffer, except of course you make enough money to house, feed and educate them. That's why I always frown at ladies who feels, their whole existence must depend on a man, and once married, they will not work again for the rest of your life. That's is very precarious position to be. You cannot assert any degree of freedom or independence without some degree of financial independence, so you have to either get a job or start a business. He can decide to throw you put any minute or take a second wife. You also need to inform your family what's going on. You family can ask him of his grouse with you. If it's only prayers, then that's easy to accommodate. You can do eye service and form Sister Mary (or sister Mariam) whenever he is around. Most Christians and Muslims pretend anyway. They say in one thing in public and do another when no one is looking. But, if there are other issues, then you have to start preparing for an eventual separation. |
Lucasbalo:They are suffering from schizophrenia. They take a conspiracy theory or make up one, then elevate it to the level of truth without any basis in reality, meanwhile, the allegations against trump has plenty of evidences, sometimes from his own mouth or tweets, sometimes he had been found culpable by a court and asked to pay fines, but his worshippers would completely remain oblivious to his proven crimes. Hillary Clinton was grilled by Republican led senate for hours, over her use of private emails. He was also grilled by Comey led FBI in an investigation spanning over 2 years. At the end of the investigations, no crime was commited. Trump on the other hand refused to be questioned during the Muller probe, his lawyers only submitted written answers of mostly " I don't recall" and at the end of the day, although Muller could not find Trump guilty of collusion, he found him guilty of obstruction of Justice. But the justice department had already told him, he can't indict the president, so he did the next best thing of submitting a report to the justice department. The justice department has refused to submit the full report to the congress. |
The blue DEMOCRATS TAKE CONTROL OF MIKE PENCE'S HOMETOWN FOR FIRST TIME IN NEARLY FOUR DECADES - https://www.newsweek.com/mike-pence-columbus-indiana-democrats-gain-control-city-council-1470028 I hope all Trump's Abobakus are preparing to commit suicide. |
Lucasbalo:As I said, Trump is master of emotional manipulation, he might not be intelligent academically, but years of being in the media has given him good emotional intelligence. Afterall, the mass media is all about manipulating the masses to take a predetermined action or to buy a product. That's why he always appeals to emotions, and that's why his bases although in the minority are very passionate. They will get violent if Trump prompts them to violence. To Trump is all power play, that's the most effective way he knows how to grab and hold unto power. He has no loyalty to anyone, not even his wife or family, definitely not the Republican party. Rudi Gulianni is being set up to take the fall for Ukrainegate. |
RichDad1:It's very painful Nigerians are so ignorant of the law, that's apart from being very greedy. That's why they can be scammed and taken advantage of. A tenants after taking one flat wants to take another after 6 months, and you just collected cash without asking why he needs another flat. Is he planing to take another wife and house her there? Then the lady meant to tell us that she did not know of all the renovation works being carried out on her property all these while. She was only interested in money being wired to her account. It's a very simple case, the woman should just report officially to Lagos State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development for illegal conversation of property without approval and the property will be sealed immediately. If she wants to take procession of her property, then she has to go through the court process. |

This whole sham your Crazy desperate Dems started will fail again and Trump will be re-elected.
