AllenSpencer:What do you mean Republicans have nothing to hold unto? They have hunter to hold unto. Joe Biden must have called hunter just before he bought the gun, so Joe biden is guilty of high crimes by instructing his son to buy a gun illegally. Besides where did hunter Biden get the money to buy a gun? Its obvious the money to commit the crime came from Joe Biden, so Joe biden cannot absolve himself of the crime. This crime by Joe Biden must be part of the impeachment inquiry |
123yes:That's because they are yet to learn from Nigerian politicians. If it was Nigeria the argument will be that the form used in purchasing the gun was filled by the aid to the president's son, the aid just brought the forms to him to sign and the president's son sign unknowingly without even reading the form. The court will hereby dismiss the case and find the president's son innocent. That’s how the judiciary works in Nigeria. |
Mombebe:You are now making excuses for the OP and making insinuations that he did not imply. Here is the direct quote from the OP; "I give feeding allowance and personal totalof 100k a month while I invest the rest on a project which she is aware of." Except you are being disingenuous or you did not read this part, you will see where he wrote total for feeding allowance and personal expenses and he invests the rest in a project. I don't see where you are making those additional insinuations from. In Nigeria of today N700k would not afford you a luxurious lifestyle, except you don't know what luxurious means. You will spend over 100k on petrol alone that if your luxurious lifestyle includes at least 1 average car. If your car develops a major fault, you will spend more than 100k. I bought a car engine for 450k 2 months ago. Now let's talk about house rent. Can N700k provide you a luxurious house? A standard 3 bedroom flat with gated fence and borehole in ikorodu is nothing less than N90k per month. School fees in a standard school in ikorodu will set you back nothing less than 40k/month, that apart from books and other expenses. I have not even stated talking about Tertiary Education. My friend who walks in the oil industry and earns N1.2 million per month is crying because Babcock University raised their tuition fees from N1.5 million to N2.9 million, and you are calling N700k luxurious. |
tnerro1:False equivalence. Trump's impeachments were for actions he took while in office. Democrats did not go fishing for evidence. Officers of the government made formal complaints to the appropriate authorities about Trump withholding already approved money to Ukraine and the phone call where trump was asking Zelensky to probe Hunter Biden before he released the money. Senior officers of the government came out to testify against trump. In the second impeachment trump planned, organised and riled his MAGA crowd to storm the Capitol to distrupt the certification of Biden as the winner of the presidential elections. That is a classic definition ofba coup. Trump still have huge legal cases as a result of the fall out of that same action. |
Jman06:It seems you don't run a family and do not understand what it takes to run a family as a man. As a family with 3 children (2 teenage boys and a girl) with an aged mother, and an income similar to the OP, N100k is not enough in month for food alone. Except of course you want to degrade your family lifestyle and status to that of a factory worker. To me it is foolishness to degrade the living standard of your family in exchange for a long term project that might take more than 10 years to complete. By the time you finish your project your children would have become adults. You would have degraded their childhood by not giving them the best childhood you could afford. Now I am not saying projects house projects are not important, but it should not be at the expense of the comfort of your family, you must strike a balance. I value my family far more than the OP. I spend a small fortune on my children's education, not to talk of their comfort. During the last break I spend more than 100k for the boys to learn coding, apart from school, they have home lesson teacher and music teacher. Everyone has different priorities in life. To me my number one priority is my family. |
The republicans are just fishing for any crime to impeach Biden. This is similar to the Clinton impeachment inquiry, where they started out looking for corruption in some land deal that supposedly took place when Bill Clinton was governor of Akansas and ended up impeaching Clinton for having sex with an intern. After more than one year of investigations the republican led house is yet to present a single evidence of Bribery and treason they accuse Joe Biden of. The just kept yapping about Hunter Biden and the Biden crime family. Your would think they want to impeach Hunter Biden. I sure at the end of the day, they will look for one sexual allegations or another and then shout "Eureka". Mccarthy don't even have enough votes in the house to commence and impeachment inquiry, so where will he find the majority votes to impeach. He is just pandering to the MAGA caucus in the house, as they have him by the balls. |
Mombebe:You just don't get it. Its not about the woman but the family itself. The lifestyle of the family of a man earning 700k per month is different from that of the one earning 70k. You don’t expect a man earning 700k to live in a face me I face you, not even a self contain. You expect him to live at least in a 2 bedroom flat in a nice neighbourhood. Even an office that pays its workers 700k per month is expected to be located in an expensive neighbourhood. Same with the food the family eats, you don't expect such family to eat ogi and akara for breakfast, drink garri and grandnut for launch and go hungry at night. Same for the school the children attend. I am not even talking about the upkeep of the wife yet (things like cream, hair, make up and cloths). I am certain the husband spends more than 100k per month on himself alone. He will spend more than 100k on clothes, office launch, airtime and data, drinks and flexing in a month. 100k upkeep for man earning 700k per month is an insult to his wife and family. |
LordAdam16:Impeached for what and for which office? Impeach him as vice president retroactively for his conduct as vice president or impeach him as president for his previous conduct as vice president? |
Acidosis:I shock o. When a bag of rice is N50k, an average loaf of bread is N1.2k and gas is about N9k for a 12kg cylinder. And we are not even talking about soup ingredients and protein yet. What about other living expenses like house rent, power, drinking water, toiletries, TV subscription, phone subscriptions, Internet subscriptions, etc. You give your wife 100k out of a salary of N700k to run the house and you are complaining she is not always in the mood for sex. I used to give my wife N150k per month only for food and groceries for my household, I still pay for nepa bill, water and house maintenance and it is still not enough. I am not even talking about school fees, books and children's cloths yet. Guy, if you want your wife to alway be in the mood, treat her well and make life comfortable for her and your children. If you satisfy her basic needs and meet your manly obligations, and she still gives you a dead bedroom. Call a family meeting and present your grievances. If she is not ready to perform her wifey duties, you too is not prepared to continue to perform husband duties. |
ElSudani:Are you aware that this same argument of yours can be applied to Lagos (colonial lagos that is). Lagos than comprised of Ikoyi, Lagos Island, Victoria Island and Yaba. This areas were taken over by the colonial government, developed and made the capital of Nigeria. The Inhabitants (fishing settlements) they met there were denied and stripped of all their rights and claims to the lands. Its was after independence that the original owners of these lands started claiming their rights. So in effect you are claiming that because Abuja was made capital, the original settlers have been stripped off of all their land and civic rights. |
JuanDeDios:Still continuing on red herring arguments. If you have studied how run off elections are conducted, you will know that run offs are won by simple majority. Run off elections are held by the two leading candidates after a general election where the winning candidate out of multiple candidates was able to win 25% in 2/3 states. A runoff is won by simple majority. That decision WILL be upheld. Because it already stands, before now, that Abuja is to be TREATED AS A STATE IN MATTERS OF JUDICIAL INTERPRETATION. Every lawyer knows this – ask them. And that's only convenient and commonsensical. Not that the 25% argument even begins to make sense. Heck, Lagos State or even Delta State contributes far more to this country than Abuja. But Obi (who I rooted for in the election) and Atiku have money - let them waste it going to the Supreme Court.Please explain what is meant by "IN MATTERS OF JUDICIAL INTERPRETATION". Please stop going on the tangent by introducing more red herrings. We are not talking about what each state contribute to the country, we are discussing the status and rights of the people of FCT to choose their political leaders, and if they are granted any special status in Nigeria. As an aside, if you want to know how to win an election petition, I urge you to go study the case between Oshiomhole (AC) and Osunbor (PDP) (following the 2007 gubernatorial election in Edo State). Present your case the way Oshiomhole did, prove that you WON, and no court can deny you victory. Rely on technicalities (he forfeited money, he went to Chicago, he did not win 25% of Abuja, etc.) and run the risk of being laughed out of court.Many Governorship elections had been won at the courts purely on technical grounds, David Lyon was sacked by the Supreme Court basically because his deputy, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo, presented false information to the Independent National Electoral Commission. |
Minjim:So in effect the Gbagyi people of Abuja have lost their indigeneship rights. |
Wealthoptulent:So how do you explain the second republic when Lateef Jakande was governor of Lagos State and Alhaji Shehu Shagari was president in the same Lagos, or when Sir Michael Otedola was Governor and General Ibrahim Babangida was Military president in the same Lagos? |
Tareq1105:The US is the poorest example in this case. The state of California has more voting power than Alaska. California has 54 electoral votes while alaska Haa only 3. That means californians have overriding voting power than Alaskans |
JuanDeDios:You are introducing a red herring into the debate. Abuja indigenes are not demanding presidential candidates should focus on Abuja and ignore other states. What they are demanding is that the person holding the political office of their governor should have at least 25% of their votes, else there should be a run off. That way the governor (in the guise of the appointee of the president) will campaign for their votes and not ignore them in decision making. That decision of the PEPC if upheld by the supreme court will have serious long term implications for Abuja and thus Nigeria as a whole. |
Ezewuzie01:Then do FCT residents have half heads to not be qualified to elect their own governor, Senators, Legislators and mayor under a democracy? Nigeria and Nigerians can eat their cake and still have it. How can you expect them to be govern locally by politicians that don't even require 25% of their votes. They should demand the capital be relocated somewhere else and give them back their constitutional rights to elect their local political leaders. |
Bukola94:I meant to say sergeant. Police sergeant salary is less than 60k. Even at N150k, what can N150k buy in Nigeria of today? I took N150k to mile 12 last week, I could not much (and that is excluding rice). The groceries and foodstuff I was able to buy will not last me a month, given I have 3 children, a wife and my mother at home. Now that does not include electricity, toiletries, drinking water and drugs or hospital bills. Also note that police officers are expected to buy his own uniforms, fuel and maintain their official vehicles and pay to process suspects her or she charges to court. And you wonder why corruption is essential to the survival of a police officer and civil servant. A police inspector is expected to be married with children. I know police officers that pay their own accommodation and commute to work everyday. You should see the danger of handing a man gun and then pay him poor wages and expected him to catch criminals can pay his yearly salary in a day. Its just not practical. |
IjeBos:Payperpost posts does not need to make sense or be factually accurate, you get paid for the total number of posts. |
it stated that a single phase pre paid meter would now cost N81,975.16k from the N58,661.69k while three phase pre paid meters is increased to N143,836.10k from N109,684.36k.Meanwhile minimum wage is N30000 per month and the salary of a police inspector carrying a gun is N55,000. And you are surprised a police inspector points his gun at citizens to collect Roger. |
Benwallt:Did you care to ask the boy the work he is doing to be able to afford two cars at once? You are assuming he is not working right now. OK. Since you are advising him to go and work, kindly reveal the secret of the kind of work that can make a boy afford two cars at once in this our economy. |
SaLongs1:True. Religion is the biggest tragedy to the blackman, be it Christianity, Islam or even traditional religions. It consumes all our mental, physical and social energies that we have little left for development and building a stable society. |
Differential Trigonometry. They suffered us architectural students with maths 201 which contains differential equations including Trigonometry. Normal differential equation was hard enough, but differentiation of trigonometry to me was like magic.
|
LordReed:Imagine admitting to the crime to which you are charged. theThey were acting as republican nominees and not as duly elected and qualified presidential electors. The real duly elected and qualified presidential electors were sent by the states legislator and not people appointed by Donald Trump to act. |
Abifarin16:Did Jesus (the ultimate source of Christianity) touch the money donated to the temple? Did Jesus appropriate the temple funds for himself to buy garments, buy houses, buy horses, hire security men and open businesses? I suspect either you are part of the pentecostal Christianity scam industry or you are one of their brainwashed followers. Jesus was teaching basic mathematics, cumulative algebra. Obvious in relative terms, the widow gave more than the rich people. Jesus did not use the example to cajole anyone to give (offerings) to the temple. He certainly did not tie their salvation to the amount they give to the temple. To the contrary Jesus relegated giving to the temple in the order of importance in seeking salvation. Non of Jesus's disciple demanded tithes and offerings, non of them collected tithes and offerings. The Jewish temple is not a family business that all donations is controlled by the owner of the temple. The doctrine of salvation according to tithes and offerings is purely a new age doctrine starter in US at the beginning of the 20th century. It emphasised prosperity as the main goal of Christianity. Nigerians being very greedy and materialistic people took the message to the extreme and reformed con men, drug addicts and criminals took the doctrine to another level by tying salvation to tithes and offerings. The Church man purpose for existence became the collection of tithes and offerings. Mind you I have nothing against donations and offerings. Even the example of the widow you gave donated without any cajoling or blackmail, she gave from her own heart. What I detest is blackmailing and guilt tripping poor and desperate members to give what they obviously cannot afford to give. |
TruthinAction:The tragic aspect of it is that the people you are trying to open their eyes are so hypnotised to the extent of defending these scam artists with their lives. They forget that the real Christian missionaries that first came to preach Christianity to their fathers built schools and hospitals without collecting tithes and offerings from their fathers. |
Abifarin16:I am not cut out to scam people. My conscience would not allow me to collect money from poor desperate and helpless people while promising them false hope. It takes a dead conscience to cajole poor widows frying akara in the sun in order to raise her children to pay tithes and offerings to you with a promise of God's blessings, and then turn around to boast how many jets you possess. |
saysoo:Jesus described them apply here. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean. |
JuanDeDios:Yes really! Jesus even spoke against the clergy class. |
damoobaba:The Pastors are just employees of the church (company) with targets. Any pastor not meeting target is sacked. How many scholarship and free foods is Oyedepo giving its members? The so called free food is provided by members and not the church itself. My wife attends winners and so I know the way the operate. Members should not go to church for free food, but they should go to give offerings and tithes, abi? Why are you supporting criminal scamming fellow citizens. The church (or gatherings) Jesus himself set up offered free food and drinks to his followers. Jesus even gave free food to the masses. The irony is that Jesus did not demand tithes and offerings before he gave free food. But you are now saying hungry people should not expect free food from supposed leaders of churches. |
Sleekfingers:They are more of scammers than businessmen. They collect money from desperate people under false pretences using the Bible as cover. It is not different form romance or inheritance scam. They continue milking mugus until they have nothing left. The most annoying thing is that they demand members give to them in order to receive blessings but they are not required to give anything back. |
DeepSight:I must confess that I am exaggerating the positives of military governments, you too must recognise that you are on the other extreme, which is failing to see whatever positives the military rule and failing to acknowledge the flaws of democracy as currently practiced. One thing you cannot take away from previous military governments is they are highly patriotic than the current set of politicians. Yes they were autocratic, but they were less tribalistic and less disruptive to national unity. They did not tolerate any threats to the unity and sovereignty of the country - both external and internal. I was in Sokoto for 2 years during the reign of IBB and I had the best time of my life. Yes no lawyer was jailed by the civilian administrations because most if not all prominent human rights lawyers have become political, and so do not confront or protest against civilian misgovernance. But others who do criticise or are in the bad books of the civilian administrations had been harassed and sometime locked up for long periods without trial. El Mustapha was locked up for 13 years without trial. Many journalists and their media houses have been harrased for being critical of the government. A student was locked up and beaten up by the first lady for writing a critical post on social media. All these were under civilian rule. Let me also add that the human rights abuses by SARS is not rivalled in any military administration. The only difference is that it affected only the poor and powerless, while most human rights abuses by the military was felt by the elite. I still stand by my assertion that very few military administrators and generals stole during civilian regimes. I know a few of them. Name one former civilian administrator that became a billionaire on leaving office. I am sure I know the general you are referring to personally, and i can tell you he never stole while in government. He became a billionaire more than 18 years after leaving the army and government. Which senior military officer is a billionaire? Is it Marwa, Rasaki, olurin, Bode George, or Diya. Even Aikhomu could not be said to be a billionaire before he died. I would still like to add more fact about stealing in military administration. The only military head of state that stole directly was Abacha. IBB did not steal directly, so nothing can be traced to him. He stole using fronts. He had numerous fronts. Adenuga is one of them. I had an uncle that use to front for IBB in the oil business. In fact IBB had more than 12 fronts. Civilian administrations on the other hand steal directly. They obtain bribes in plain sight and give themselves stupendous pecks and allowances without any fear of repacussions. |
asanausana91:I agree with you 100%. The president and Governors in this our version of democracy are more like Emperor and Kings. They fear no consequences for any action they take. See Wike that rigged an election openly and brazenly. He was rewarded with the governor of FCT. I really feel sorry for the people of FCT. Wike will rule them like Pharaoh. Under military regimes only the head of state and very few aids were able to steal. Most of the critical infrastructures in the country today were build by military regimes. Under our socall democracy, stealing is free for all. Even a CBN governor was stealing without any fear or favour. Military regimes in Nigeria obey court orders netter than the so called democracy. Gani Fawehinmi, Fela, Tai Solarin all survived under military dictatorship. I doubt a Gani Fawehinmi could survive under the current civilian government. A democracy where a governor is controlling the judiciary, the legislature and the Local governments and elections, is that one Democracy? |
