Bahahaha. Your obsession with Trump is what’s real my love. Your law license is relevant because I want to know the law school that produced such an incompetent lawyer like yourself. I studied business but I’m from a family of lawyers… I’m taking Cambridge and St Andrews educated lawyers, not whatever two-bit law school you obviously went to in the US.

Keep posting pictures of Trump and Epstein not knowing you are proving my own point. If Trump was morally bankrupt for associating with Epstein then why are we to believe this judge, who the DOJ obviously shopped for, is clean and infallible?

You disappoint me sweetheart.

But you have not proven the judge associated with Jeffrey Epstein. What you alleged was that the judge represented an employee of Jeffery Epstein? Are you then insinuating that every one that offer any services to any of Jeffery Epstein's staff, associates and friends must be guilty of association with Jerry Epstein

AmazonTopaz:
What am I hearing?

Espionage

Sound like a James Bond movie. The plot being the president of the US is a Russian agent stealing US nuclear secrets to hand over to Russia. This would put US in grave danger in the event of a nuclear war.

did you people notice he was reading a written script? The same youths you people doesn't want to give jobs and create good atmosphere for business

He was straining to read the teleprompter.

Abeg make we dance to Tinubu's hit song - Is it for eba, is it for Garri, is it for beans and dodo?

Trump should have hidden the 'truth' with Hunter Biden where it would be safe from FBI.

Quit that nonsense. Hunter hidden was never a government official. If he commited any crime at all, they would be in his personal capacity and not official crimes.

Hunter alleged crimes cannot excuse Trump's alleged crimes. The legal system does not work that way. Religious legal system might but not secular civil system.

Obrigardo:
I was talking about Republicans and not the justice Department. The Republicans are criticising the AG for searching Trump's home over a few "documents" taken by Trump

Mini wetin? I'll advise you dig into current info before any arm chair analysis. And Nixon was prosecuted but pardoned by his VP who later became Prez, Gerald Ford. Rich people do go to jail in the USA but insinuating that somehow the American Institutions were setup to shield the rich from prosecution is not at all right.

I was talking about Republicans and not the justice Department. The Republicans are criticising the AG for searching Trump's home over a few "documents" taken by Trump

I might have been too extreme to insinuate that the US legal system shield the rich, but you know that the US system is more lenient on the powerful and non coloured.

The thought that Trump kept classified nuclear documents in his home is scary. It could be turn over or sold to US adversaries like China and Russia.

If this is proven true, this would be by far the most serious crime of Trump that borders on espionage against the US or even Treason.

Don't you hear him whining for being got?

I do not believe the law will allow itself to be intimidated by 72 million maga voters. All the cases drumptght has in courts show me they are not intimidated by him nor by them.

The US legal system just like the Nigetian legal system is intimidated by power. The more powerful you are politically or economically, the more you are shielded from the law. In Nigeria a poor man caught stealing a phone will be sentenced to many years in prison without the option of a fine. A rich powerful politician or businessman that steals billions will only be fined a few million naira or at worst a few months in prison. No Nigerian former president can be investigated not to talk of prosecuted no matter his crimes. Same in the US, no former US president had ever been prosecuted. Trump might be the first given the number and seriousness of his alleged crimes.

Hillary Clinton was hounded for months because she used a private email server to conduct official business. The Republicans led senate carrying out many investigations on hillary because of email's which were not proven to contain classified materials. But they are now minimising actual classified documents stolen by Trump and stored in his home.

Obrigardo:
I would say Al capone was more dealier than Criminal trump. It saddens me that the crimes criminal trump is being hounded for are the most stupid crimes, and not (yet) rackteering and murder

Attempting to illegally stay in power through unconstitutional means is a serious crime. Not forgetting putting the lives of the Vice President and members of Congress lives in danger.

budaatum:
The FBI did not back off for Capone with all his guns and all so I doubt they'd back up for drumpthgp.

Al Capone did not have 72 million voters to support him. Al Capone did not have presidential powers and Al Capone is not the leading candidate for an upcoming election.

Obrigardo:
They will be put down and prosecuted. Always.

It will not be that easy. They have millions of supporters, some of whom are prepared to die for Trump. And there are also well organized militia groups "standing down" ready to cause mayhem on orders.

AmazonTopaz:
2016 will continue to haunt them.
The authorities are not stupid Trump should answer if any and a fringe minority cannot dictate for the majority.

Maybe now Trumpism will be dealt with

For US to make any progress Trumpism or rather reformed McCarthism would have to be confronted head long. Which would definitely result in a violent uprising or possibly civil war. The democrats and the real Republicans seem too scared to confront it headlong. They are just allowing it to grow until it will consume the nation.
Trump is ready to bring the US to its knees to avoid prosecution for any of his numerous alleged crimes.

I see the US slowly edging towards a civil war or a serious civil unrest, particularly because of Donald Trump. Attempt to make him answer directly for any of the numerous crimes he is accused of including the coup attempt of January 6 will lead to serious response from his cult followers and the Republican Party that is scared stiff of him.

Just look at the video ge released after the FBI search of his home and office;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk94EKBWZJA
It's certainly to sensitize and galvanise his followers not just for political purposes but also for possible violent responses. I see it as a warning to the FBI and the Justice Department to back off. Remember there are lots of militia groups (patriots) ready to fight for trump. It might be bloody.

Trump and his supporters are trying to undermine the FBI, the Justic Department, the Justice system, the electoral system, the press, even the military. Every American institution is being systematically undermined by the Trump and the Republican party. Its only a matter of time before confidence in US institutions collapse altogether.

Yes the federal capital just like the first picture below. Saying Tinubu isn't pivotal to the modern day Lagos is the highest level of hypocrisy I've seen.

So it was Tinubu that built the Oshodi Bus Terminal? Tinubu that left in 2007 came to be responsible for a bus terminal that was started in 2016 by Governor Ambode and completed in 2020. That means all projects by Fashola, Ambode, Sanwo-Olu and subsequent APC governors till eternity should be credited to Tinubu.

Murphyenemuwe:
It was far less than 500 million. Why are you guys this ridiculous. You have data to spew trash here but can't google simple information. Loud and empty set of youths

Why not do us a favour and post the link to your data. All you do is pull out ridiculous figures from nowhere to lionize Tinubu.

Here is my own link to support my own claim - https://guardian.ng/opinion/igr-why-lagos-leads/

Oya, counter it with your own claims.

Perfectbeing:
You ended up saying nothing.
Lagos as the commercial capital was generating a meagre sum of N600 million monthly before Tinubu and before he left Lagos was generating to 45-50 billion monthly. Whether it was through PAYE, Direct Assessment, Road Taxes and revenues from Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDA)s etc is another story entirely. What we know is that he was able to increase the IGR by a large scale.

If I was to choose between a manager that did that for my company or a manager that saves while my bankers and cleaners went on strike for 13 whooping months, I will definitely choose the former.

You guys are just employing lies and half truths to justify your dietification of Bola Tinubu. Lagos IGR as to when Tinubu took over in 1999 was not N600 million but about N1.1 billion, then the IGR when Tinubu was leaving in 2007 was about N7 billion and not 45-50 billion.

As I said and as you failed to acknowledge, Tinubu did put any infrastructure in place that led to the increase in IGR. He only became more aggressive in the collection of taxes and revenues which that were the result of commercial activities before he became governor. Lagos already have the 2 major ports in the Country, the major airport and all major national and international companies were domiciled in Lagos. Over the years insecuries in other regions of Nigeria made more companies locate to Lagos. With the location of Dangote Refinery to Lagos, the IGR is set to even increase further. These were not caused by Tinubu.

DeepSight:
You don't know this. In fact, you can't know this. It is completely beyond the possible knowledge of any human being.

It's a known fact that the universe is expanding or inflating. Evidences are abound. Now the end of the universe depends on the quantity of mass/matter it contains. If its beyond a critical value, then the inflation would slow down, stop and then reverse. Eventually it will collapse together once again into a big crunch.

zimdante:
Do you really believe that? the early men perished because they didn't know, it will be a shame to end here on earth like dogs and other animals without using the potential that you possess as a man to attain immortality.
Don't be a vanity.

Immortality is a ruse, a meaningless term. Everything including the universe itself will eventually come to an end.

You and I will end here on earth like any other animal.

If a bank manager increases the revenue of first bank from 1 billion to 10 billion, will you disregard his ingenuity and say he only did that because first bank was already rich and had high revenue generation before him?
Perhaps you would say first Bank is an old Bank that has been existing since 1875 and any one would be able to do what he did.

Lagos State Government under the military could no go on an aggressive revenue generation drive.


IGRs are generated by states through Pay-As-You-Earn Tax (PAYE), Direct Assessment, Road Taxes and revenues from Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDA)s. Its a function of population and the amount of commercial activities taking place in the state. Lagos state was already the commercial capital of Nigeria with huge revenue generating potential before Tinubu came in. Tinubu was not the one that built the infrastructures that made Lagos a commercial hob.

After life format that has helped this religious and political leaders continue with their abuses

The irony is that the religious and political leaders preaching this afterlife enjoyment nonsense are all enjoying their life here and now at the expense of their sheepish followers.

This is a classic example of speaking from both sides of your mouth;

“I am still a strong supporter of Buhari, but in terms of security, I can score this government below average, because one of their major responsibilities is to see that the lives and property of citizens are being guaranteed by the government.”

“But as it is now, I can say that the government has failed woefully in that area. Despite the huge resources allocated for security in Nigeria, there is nothing to write home about.”

Perfectbeing:
I am a Christian and Tinubu is my most preferred candidate. I have lots of Christian friends who support Tinubu.

From all four major contestants, Tinubu has the highest track record of all and I believe he can replicate his ingenuity in all of Nigeria.

We are not talking about track record yet, although that track record can be disputed. If we are to compare the track records of all previous governors/ military administrators of lagos state, we would find that Tinubu's 8 year tenure was not extra ordinary. Lagos has been the commercial nerve Centre of Nigeria for decades, it doesn't take much to "perform".

Anyway, we are talking about religious sentiments. A Muslim Muslim ticket is insensitive to the political sentiments of most Christians, particularly at this times, where Buhari had polarized the ethnic and religious atmosphere.

Does it not stink of hypocrisy when ethnic sentiment was employed to choose the APC flag bearer (Yoruba lokan), but you want Christians to employ competency when it comes to religion.
We might as well employ competency to choose a Fulani Fulani ticket or a Yoruba Yoruba ticket.

Perfectbeing:
They will say everyone supporting Tinubu is paid. And when campaign starts and you see millions of supporter supporting Tinubu they will either wail or insult people of liking suffering.
When Tinubu wins next year, they will wail more.

Tinubu can win next year, afterall elections in Nigeria is won by the better rigger and not on free and fair elections. That still does not mean majority of Christians will support his Muslim/Muslim government.

desiredhome:
CAN are political instrument used by the politicians to cause confusion/religious crisis....
They are after their bellies.........
CAN can not speak against the fake pastors that are spoiling the Christiandom in Nigeria....

Calling a dog a bad name in order to hang it for opposing the policy of your preferred party. CAN is doing what it was set up to do - protect the interest of Christians. MURIC and other Islamic organisations set up to protect muslim interests would have called for violence if APC presented a Christian/Christian candidates for the presidential election.

Never in the history of nigeria had there ever been a same religion president/head of state and his vice. Abiola/Kingibe of 1993 elections would have been the first and it was thwarted. 1993 would have ushered in a new Nigeria whereby religion and tribal sentiments were not so important in politics. But that all changed with the introduction of sharia. Boko Haram, Fulani Herdsmen and now Bandits. Buhari then took the whole tribal and religious new level by Fulanization and islamization of his government.

CAN is speaking the minds of millions of Christians. Except Tinubu's lackeys and Muslims, no one is supporting Tinubu's gamble of a Muslim/Muslim ticket.

Senator Daisy Danjuma was 70 today. The Celebrations kicked off with a thanksgiving service at The Cathedral Church of Christ, Marina, with the reception at Eko Conventional Centre, Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island.

It was a gathering of political big wigs and captains of industry. Notable names were Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Governor of Lagos State, Atiku Abubakar, Rabiu Kwankwaso, Ifeanyi Okowa, who all paid glowing tribute to Senator Daisy Danjuma. Numerous former governors, current and past ministers and legislatures graced the occasion. There were excess of food and drinks.

Below are some pictures I was able to take.

ATLIEN2027:
Ok now. The religiously fanatical Obi tuary Obi diots will call this one fake bishop too just because he's not licking the stinking asses of the CAN.

Are you sure he is an ordained Bishop? who appointed him Bishop and what diocese or province does he bishop?

Has anyone seen or heard from Bola Tinubu recently? Wicked rumour mongers has it that he has sneaked off to London for his regular rejuvenation.

sanpipita:
Trump is building the GOP in his own image, imagine people like Dick Cheney are now referred as RINOs

Not only Dick Cheney. All former republicans presidents presidents and senior members that built the Republican party are now termed RINOs by Trump cult members thet don't support the fascist agenda of Trump. The only qualification for real Republican is blind support of Trump.

Imagine a world where President Bush (senior and junior), Dick Cheney, Collin Powell, John McCain, etc are termed RINOS. The only true Republicans are Sarah Palin, Micheal Flynn, Matthew Gaetz, Jim Jordan, Josh Hawley and any one who deny the 2020 presidential elections as rigged.

Biodun556:
He has to demonstrate to his own followers that he his not weak even though the agreement may not be honored. For instance, Amaechi followers are now moving to another caucus after primary election defeat

He is just playing to the gallery. The only enforceable demand is the removal of the party chairman. But then he should have made the demand privately to Atiku. Now that he took the public route, PDP leaders and members would not like to show that Wike is more important than the party.

The other demands are non enforceable. Atiku could have him arrested by EFCC the minute he becomes president.

Biodun556:

These people never seem to learn from history. Once a politician obtains power, there is no way you can enforce any agreement you agreed to or sighed beforehand. Good examples Abacha, OBJ and Jonathan.

3.1.1: “No broadcast shall encourage or incite to crime. lead to public disorder or hate, be repugnant to public feelings or contain offensive reference to any person or organization, alive or dead or generally be disrespectful to human dignity”;

In that case Nairaland should be fined N5 billion.
