But on a more serious note, Religion has been the major problem we HV in this country. No wonder Karl Marx regard it as the opium of the people

Not just the Opium of the people, but a prison you cannot touch or feel, a prison for the mind. It turns ordinary reasonable people into mindless and helpless zombies to be exploited at will.

Lamasta:
Am talking of the man's action and not the wife...

The man's action was mild, I am sure even you cannot predict how you will react, if you catch a man on top of your wife on your matrimonial bed.

Why talk only of the man's action? What about the pastors action and the wife's action?

Lamasta:
Am not defending the wife but the man's action is not good

As the saying goes, all is fair in love and war. Some men would behave worse. Some might have murdered both wife and love and then face the consequences aka O.J. Simpson.

Some south American cultures demand an adulterous wife be murdered by pushing a sharp stick through her virgina until it burst her stomach. Even ancient Jews and Arabs stone adulterous women to death.

You think if such should take place in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan or even kano, the woman would live to be given the opportunity of committing suicide.

opamoses1:
Post the once he posted before that. The one where he said it will be wild. The one where he cursed pence for not being brave to stop the steal. He post d this one's after the Republicans begged him and after someone had been shot dead.

Don't mind them. They pick and choose what they read or hear from trump. They forget his destructive words and texts, but celebrate the sane and reasonable ones.

For your information, Elon musk deleted Donald Trump's tweets attacking pence and praising the rioters before unbanning his account.

Lamasta:
The husband no try by releasing the video to the public that action killed the wife even though the wife is eicked in that act

So what if the man had died of shock, heartbreak or depression as a consequence of witnessing his pregnant wife being drilled on matrimonial bed. It is the same you guys that would label him simp.

OkoRemi2023:
unlike other politicians, Seyi physically campaign for his dad awaiting victory, no wonder Tinubu is always proud of him



a Son indeed, God will crown all your efforts Seyi Omo Jagaban

Bola Tinubu is trying to build a Monarchy like the Al-Bashir family of Syria. If Tinubu should dare win the presidency, the Seyi Tinubu will be the next governor of Lagos after Sanwo-Olu.

Then we would have a Tinubu as president of Nigeria, governor of Lagos and Senator representing Lagos Central.

tctrills:
Again you are wrong. Punishment for a crime is determined by a court. If Trump committed any crime, it's the role of the justice system to find him guilty not twitter.

I put crime in parentheses, meaning crime as stipulated by Twitter's rules.

It doesn't matter if only 1% were interested in the polls. In every election, only those who are interested get to vote. It's undemocratic to force the uninterested to vote.

I just want to point out that the 2% that voted yes does not necessarily represent the majority of twitter users. There is more incentive for Trump's supporters to vote than Trump's antagonists.

Terms and conditions are meant to be changed. They are not set in stone. Even nations adjust their constitutions.

Then Elon Musk should have stated the new terms and conditions on it's policy page before changing it to accomodate Trump.

Finally, it is hard to say that Trump broke any twitter rule.
Twitter would be going a very dangerous path if they begin to punish anyone who disagrees with an election result.

Trump broke twitter rule not once but multiple times, and he was warned severally before the ban.

Twitter did not punish Trump for disagreeing with election results, they banned him for using their platform for planing and executing a coup against the US Congress and the incoming administration. He was using social media to stop the peaceful transfer of power which itself was the hallmark of US democracy before him. It was not only twitter that banned him, but all major social media companies. He did not disagree with the elections in a democratic manner.

tctrills:
How is following a democratic process a negative. You may not like Trump but Twitter allowed it's users to choose.

Punishment for a crime should not be a democratic process. That would be setting a very bad precedence. Besides less than 5% of Twitter subscribers were interested in the poll and 52% of that answered yes.

Twitter has its terms and conditions of its use and anyone who violates those terms and conditions should be punished accordingly. With this Trump's reinstatement process, Elon Musk is telling us that he has changed the terms and conditions of Twitter usage. It means punishments for breaking Twitter rules will be by votes.

I would have preferred he just reinstated Trump with a warning to decease from breaking Twitter rules again or face permanent ban, instead of democratising "crime".

BigIyanga:
Abeg rest.. Chicago state University is not a top ranking in Chicago and IL.. let alone US. Na African immigrants and Chicago part time resident students dey go there. Make una no dey put mouth for something wey dey above your beer parlour discussion league

My surprise is how Tinubu's supporters tried to sell tinubu as an academic genius. For someone with an academic record of a total of 4 years in dodgy US college and university. 2 years in Richard Daley College and 2 years in Chicago State University

forgiveness:
Some of you are daft. You think you can gain admission into an American university with oluwole certificate.

Are you insinuating that chief Gani Fawehinmi was daft for questioning the authenticity of Tinubu's certificate? He not only questioned the certificate but sued Tinubu and INEC up till the supreme court. The supreme court did not even rule on the merit of the suit but referred the case to the National Assembly, which of course exonerated their benefactor (Tinubu). Till today, Tinubu's refuses to answer questioned raised by Gani Fawehinmi concerning his certificate.

Even current Tinubu mouth piece and avid defender sued Tinubu up till the supreme court and still yet failed to get an answer.

zztop:
Maybe it is not what you put in but what you get out that is more important.
I studied Economics at university and my first year at university was the first time I have ever studied Economics. If Tinubu indeed used fake document and managed to come out on top, that is a positive for him! It show he could find solutions to problems.

Tinubu studied Business Administration and management but he was hired as an accountant by Deloitte and Mobil and then rose to senior management position within 3 years, can you help explain that.

Another question I would like answers to is that did Tinubu do the NYSC program or he got letter of exemption?

LeoDeKing:
Shinedu, the topic is not about Tinubu or Reno's personality, it is about whether or not Tinubu attended the university.

Now, did Tinubu attend Chicago State University or we should wait for lamidi kwanu to make a broadcast on that?

The issue was not about whether Tinubu Attended Chicago State university or not, that had been settled long ago. Reno just wanted to waste his money. The main question was the qualifications Tinubu used in gaining admission into Richard Daley College, as this was the certificate he used to gain admission into Chicago State University. We were not aware of any WAEC or GCE certificate he obtained before immigrating to the US.
Furthermore we would like see the documents he used to travel to the US, ie passport, birth certificate/affidavits, etc. This will kill all allegations of impersonation detractors are spewing up and down.

Magnumproperty:
Tinubu is his mother's family name. I have a friend whose mum is from the Tinubu dynasty

Then what's the father's family name? My own mum grew up in Isale Eko and knew Mogaji Tinubu. She never knew or heard of Tinubu before 1993.

vannessa7:
He said: “We know what Lagos State was before Asiwaju became the governor. He helped to develop Lagos by generating revenue for the state even when the Federal Government deprived it of its allocation.

Source: https://guardian.ng/politics/tinubus-family-clears-rumour-on-asiwajus-background-age-health/

Lies. Repeating a lie a thousand times does not make it true. The federal government never deprived Lagos State Government of its allocations. The Obasanjo administration withheld Lagos State Local Government allocations for about 3 years due to a dispute in the additional local governments created by Tinubu. Yaradua released the funds to Fashola all at once less than three months after taking over.

Daviddson:
I was also a teenager (in JS 3) when I took that decision. It was revolutionary, to say the least.

Do you think that as a 14 - 15 year old kid, you are matured enough to make critical decisions that would affect the rest of your life. At that age the government does not deem you matured enough to drive, marry, drink alcohol or sign a contract.

Anyway, religions thrive by catching them very young, before their neo cortex becomes fully developed and capable of critical thinking.

SugarGirl44:
See ehn, everybody would be a racist given the right circumstance.
People can’t work so hard and live decently in their country, then some anyhow people who have ruined their own country would just come from nowhere to ruin it.

Africans who can’t use their brain to obey simple instructions of not throwing trash from their cars!
How can anybody respect those people.

If you make your country great and habitable, and only travel to other countries for genuine reasons like vacation and expatriate jobs, nobody would treat you badly.

Have you entered naija markets?
The shop owners can’t even sweep the front of their shops!!!
They sell in the midst of filth, if those people travel freely and are not cautioned, they would take that filthiness to those countries.

So I can’t blame anybody being harsh to Africans, if you can’t stand their rules, simply go back to your country.

Its appalling for a Black African to have that kind of mentality. I don't mind Europeans talking like that, because self and group interest must come first. But for a person to be promoting the interest of others against his own people is sickening.

Now tell me who was responsible for the hard works that built the American society today? Are you oblivious to the fact that your forefathers contributed greatly to the building of the decent society you are proud to attribute to the whites today. Are you not aware that a substantial part of the resources used in building and developing the White society (Europe and the Americas) came from your inheritance?

You are also ignorant that the whites so so worship contributed to a substantial degree the political, economic and social problems were founds ourselves in today. Now I am not exonorating our own contribution to our present predicament, but you cannot overlook the contributions of the Europe and and Arabs.

When there are economic and social problems in Europe and even Asia, the other prosperous European and the US take Themas in refugees and economic migrants, but when it's black Africa, we are treated like vermins.

Goodvibes007:
Trump's right. Africa is a shithole.
Some will see it as a compliment while others will see it as an insult.

Calling your country shithole country is a compliment to you? There is not level you guys cannot sink to to defend Trump.

Even if he calls their mother's whores, they will say its a compliment as long as its coming from Trump.

Here is context he called African countries shithole, it had nothing to do with compliments.

yinkeys:
Florida governor will get the Republican ticket
The former president is a clown & a drama king.

The Florida governor cannot winn the Republican ticket against Trump. The best non MAGA republicans can pray for is for the justice department to indict Trump before the election season starts.

Honestfrend:
Your definition of celebrity just concluded that u don't know who a celebrity is!!

Is she a professional dancer? Shaking almost naked yansh on Instagram does not make one a dancer. Kaffi is a professional dancer and she does not shake yansh on Instagram.

I just can't stand her. She married a young American doctor, and instead of her to add value to herself and her family by working, learning a skill or going to school, she was behaving like someone advertising yansh on Instagram.

alimiadedayo1:
iS true you sound with a black mind.. trump does not like black? so when he was in government he expatriate all the blacks in USA none of them is left abi? it is when Biden won they were not called back? The truth is all whites are supremacist but the problem with trump is he doesn't understand human politics he is better than Biden in all ways in terms of performance and Agility

Black mind because I don't worship a white man, particularly the one with a history of not liking blacks?

How can he expel all blacks? Are there no Afro-Americans in the US? If he had his way he would deport all African immigrant from the US. He was more in support of immigration from Norway and other Scandinavian countries. At least Biden had supported immigration policies in the past that allow thousands of Nigerians to immigrate to US. I am sure you had a relative or friend that benefited from such immigration policies. During Trump era some immigrant I know went into hiding and was only able to walk freely after Trump lost.
Me I wish Trump wins and he initiates the hunting and deportation of Nigerians without full legal status.
All whites are supremacists but you choose to worship the one understand human politics?

Why not list those performance indices you have in mind so we can compare and contrast.

What is eye service in Omoluabi defending his Yoruba elder
..not everything is Politics you know

But he did not defend his Yoruba elder in 2006, when he formed ACN with Atiku to fight against the party of his Yoruba elder.

TRUMP MY GUY

MEN LIKE TRUMP ARE RARE

Trump is your guy? why is that? Are you Trump's guy? Trump that generally does not like blacks, does not like Africa and definitely would never step his foot into your country is your guy?

Is that not Stockholm syndrome?

Mirasteel:
I see it surpassing 15 million followers.

No big deal. He had 89 million followers before ban.

Atlantis585:
Restored to allow him do more damage to himself.

For those talking about a re-election, I say FA-FA- FA- Fowl! Not happening. RNC is now studded with more credible and capable candidates. So don’t celebrate too early.

For someone about to be imprisoned for life, may not be such a bad thing to allow him an Avenue to rant and rave a little before finally saying good bye!

Elon Musk is desperately trying to increase the number of engagements and subscriber base of Twitter. Trump was one factor that made twitter very popular in the last 4 years, as the MAGA movement made twitter their social media of choice for pushing conspiracy theories.

juvewalex:
Only those who are delusional believe Tinubu didn't go to school even if you don't like him as a polician in Nigeria, you have to be reasonable with some rumours you read or hear about him .

PDP would have used it against him long ago if it were to be true that he didn't go to school.

Tinubu’s whole education background consists of a two year post secondary schooling at Richard Daley College, a public community college and a two year bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Chicago State University. There was no academic records before and after that?

wowcatty:
Tinubu this Tinubu that, he's still the best choice among the presidential candidates.

Best choice, how? You had Osinbajo and Amaechi at the presidential primaries and Tinubu was the best choice you guys could pick? Using what criteria? I am sure the criteria was dollars. Tinubu is the best in terms of dollars.

You guys are very wicked, you want someone with a rapidly declining cognitive function to destroy Nigeria patapata.

SlyFoxx4Life:
And who told you a crime is not being specified? In Biden's case it’s influence peddling and bribery. In Hillary’s case it was obstruction of justice for deleting E-mails after receiving a subpoena for them.

Pls read my previous explanation of the Biden case and stop being DemocRAT worshipper yourself. They are not saints like you think.

Was it influence peddling and bribery during this administration or during the Obama administration? Do you want to Investigate and impeach Vice President Joe Biden for offenses he allegedly commited in 2014 or you want to impeach President Joe Biden for offences he commited as vice president? From the video I am a bit confused of their time line. The keep saying this Investigation is about Joe Biden and immediately jump laptop found before the elections.

Then who are you accusing of influence peddling - Hunter or Vice President Joe Biden and what's the punishment for influence peddling?

In Hillary case, the Republican House carried out multiple investigations, the FBI carried out multiple investigations, including one just 1 week before the 2015 elections. All found no evidence of crime.

timay1:
Yep.

Democrats f**ked up with all those numerous trump probes and all. They have opened a can of worms that will also consume them as well. Bad mouthing trump is in the media was okay, afterall , they had freedom of speech but they went too far by breaking an Unwritten rule concerning ex presidents, with all those probes and DOJ witchhunts. It was unnecessary really.

So a president that stole government documents and refused to return them after almost a year of asking and a court subpoena is witch hunt?

So investigating the attempt by Trump and his MAGA supporters to prevent the peaceful transfer of power and putting the Vice President and the entire Congress in danger is a can of worms?

So it's an unwritten rule for a president or former president to flout the law brazenly and not be held accountable because of cans of worms?

SlyFoxx4Life:
Actually the president does have the right to order a DOJ investigation. He is head of the executive branch and the chief law enforcement officer of the country. The AG and DOJ are under him.

Most presidents just don’t do it because it’s considered unethical. Especially if the person he is asking to be investigated is a political opponent.

I remember once Trump ordered the DOJ to investigate TikTok and they did. He never directly asked the DOJ to investigate Biden and the driver story was most likely BS


https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/feb/19/ask-politifact-can-president-intervene-federal-cri/

The president can't order the DOJ to investigate a person. Yes the president can order the investigation of a crime not a person. That's where Trump and his worshippers get it wrong, all they shout is "lock her/him up" without first specifying the crime, then investigations, then presenting evidence before a jury, before finally locking her up.
Proving a crime is a very tedious affair, and your evidence has to prove guilt "beyond all reasonable doubt".

That's when Trump says investigate hunter Biden, investigate Burisma, investigate Hillary, no justice department official would take it serious, because it will be a waste of time.

SlyFoxx4Life:
Once we regain the Whitehouse and appoint republican attorney general, there will be a full scale DOJ investigation of Biden’s involvement in his sons shady china and Ukraine deals. Thank God the democrats have set the precedent of investigating former presidents themselves. Will send the FBI to raid his house in the middle of the night.

It does not work that way. A president cannot just order the justice department to investigate anyone. Trump was president with republican legislatures in both houses, he tried to get the Justice Department to investigate hunter Biden, Jim Comey and other political opponents, it did not work. You first need to have a prima facia case with concrete evidence before DOJ, FBI can investigate anyone. You need to present your evidence before a court before you can raid anyone's House. No DOJ, FBI or military officer will obey an unlawful order. That's what separates the US from dictator countries like Russia, Iran and North Korea. During the last couple of weeks of Trump presidency, particularly after January 6, no officer - both military and civilian were obeying Trump's orders. He could not even order his driver on where he wants to go.

juliusijidola:
I believe he knows what he is doing, Beside Twitter blue has always existed in the US, he simply increased the priced from 2.5$ to 8$, and perhaps remove the regulations.

Cutting off employees, he is cutting cost.

I feel next year or when he has made 1/3 of his money back, remove all the blue badges...

Made his money back ke? How? Na juju money he go make? Twitter had not run a profit since inception (except one or two odd years). The only way he can see his money back in the near future is to find another mugu who will buy twitter above $44 billion. Right now twitter is valued at about $8 billion dollars.

I have twitter but hardly use it, but I doubt verification is based simply on the amount you pay. You could see that people made rubbish of the verification for sale idea and had to be shut down after just one day.

saxywale2:
MAGA Republicans are not going to nail Joe Biden which looks like that's why they want to Investigate Hunter. Hunter is already under federal investigation as well. If hunter is guilty, then he should go to jail.
But it would be interesting to see what comes out of the investigation. Atleast they have a laptop from hell now.

Not long ago:

It's not really about finding any wrong doings, it's about finding a talking point to energise MAGA republicans for the next elections. They also somehow hope to tie any alleged crime by Hunter Biden to his father so that they can commence on a sham impeachment process. imagine the so called crime was commited when republicans had the house and the executive, and they did not deem it necessary to investigate then. They want to impeach a president for a crime commited before he became president. Its like the democrats will impeaching Trump for stealing classified government documents in 2022 if he becomes president in 2024.

And this is the number one legislative agenda priority for republicans?
