US Presidential Election 2020: My Responses

-

The United States 2020 presidential election has come and gone, even as the winner is yet to be known. The lingered process has continued to generate streams of reactions for and against the process itself and the contenders.

Below are just some of my ripostes to some of these reactions, which are mostly Facebook posts.


To Femi Fani-Kayode, 

Why do you always sound defeatist as evident in your pouring of tantrums when things seem not to work according to your prediction. You're human and your opinions are not sacred and certain. They are what they are, opinions.

In 2016, you had predicted and supported a Trump win and it did happen so. You felt fly, maybe as a true prophet. We who supported Hillary and supported her emergence, took the result, shook our feet and moved on. It wasn't a life battle!

Your coming now to pour invective and make mess of the opinions of people supporting the one you hate is ridiculous and smacks of a personality who's unidirectional, and who feels he cannot be wrong. Please, stop this attitude, it's beyond senseless, very evil.

Your 2020 prediction for the US presidency has failed, very obviously, and you must learn to accept it for the prediction it is and move on, the same way we did in 2016!

Whether you detest abortion rights, or same-sex civil union is an opinion you carry and which has no basis on the American people. The people of the US, who it concerns have expressed their wish regardless of the supposed agenda of Joe Biden. To have voted him means they are cool with his vision for them. And besides, these are legislative framework that have been approved and sanctioned by the US supreme court.

Take the emerging reality in good faith and learn to be a good 'looser'!


My riposte to Nwokocha Andrew

Who voted Biden? Americans. Who are Americans? They are the most forward-looking people in the world, who believe strongly in the human rights to self-express. One of their greatest symbol of time is the statue of Liberty! Joe Biden was not the proponent of Same-sex or abortion in America, but the american system in its bid to recognize and respect the rights of every aspect of its citizens. Recognition of abortion and same sex rights are legislative and judicial processes that went up to the supreme court to be sanctioned!

America is not Nigeria, where we have suppressive administrations that claim to be democratic and religious, yet committing the worst evil. In your so-called religiousness, you have blinded reason and imposed an anti-libertarian law that forces people to practice their predilections in covert seclusion. There are  same-sex affiliations here and there will continue to be, whether or not the system suppresses them.

You guys want to be like America, but you don't want freedom of ideas, opinions and expression that propels its growth, in the name of been religious. Evil Religious Backward People!


My riposte to Chidera Odego

Chidera Odego Who's in power? Trump. And you believe Trump, as loquacious as he is can be defrauded? It's obvious you don't understand the American system and why it's referred to as the model of democracy.

I repeat, God gives whomever he wills the power and he doesn't do so based on how you or any human thinks.

When Trump won Hillary even when she had the more popular votes, it wasn't fraud? But I believed God wanted Trump and that was why he won.

And why is it difficult for you and your kind to accept it now? Blinding Fanaticism, I think!


My riposte to FFK

Donald Trump and every fanatical supporter of his, who sees absolutely nothing wrong but wholly good with him, must realize that power belongs to God and that he vests it on whomsoever he wills.

The majority of the people of America has spoken, could Donald J Trump respect that wish with the decency he yet has? Could his supporters help him do so if he, out of the probable trauma, fail to so do?

POTUS isn't life neither is it the end!

Circa 2022: Time for a New Beginning

Did you buy that car, land or house you hoped to get in 2021? Did you acquire that visa, wife, job or contract you had dreamt to have in 2021? Did you loose that weight, gained that body, achieved that look or shape you set out to have at the beginning of the year 2021? For some others, there are endless list of plans they'd envisaged to achieve as the year 2021 begun. Did you achieve them? Kudos! If you did not achieve them, don't bother and don't get demoralized. Even as the year gave opportunity to grow, it was similarly and very visibly traumatic: the Covid-19 pandemic and its accompanied effects of recession, inflation and economic summersaults continued to have their biting effects on almost every sphere. It is quite understandable. Nonetheless, your being alive is enough assurance that you could achieve them in the new year, 2022; and you'd so do if you're willing to trust the process and try again. Clutch them along and move with them, but this time around a

Year End: The Crossroad of a New Year

-

The ending of a year brings a binary fusion of emotions: that of stocktaking and that of expectations. The year is ending, so it's essentially right to look back and take an appraisal of what the year ending has turned out for the individual. At the same time, the year rolling out, is obviously an indication that a new one is being launched, hence it'll also be right to make plans and designs of how the new year is to be approached. Credit: Shutterstock The year 2021 began with many of us clutching tightly our expectations and plans already and willing to execute them. Many of us made resolutions, be they financial, spiritual, personal- all geared towards making us better versions of ourselves and contributing effectively to our spheres of influence. Indeed, 2021 afforded us the rudimentary 365days to make do with the plans/aspirations we had in it; and it's within this period, as it winds down, that it becomes incumbent to check and analyse our victories, failures and near

KEMI ADEOSUN: Looking Beyond The 'Honourable' Resignation

-

Very applauding, it was, to hear of the news of the resignation of the minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun. It's very commendable because it is one act very rare in this our clime. It just seems that the penchant for relevance and money has denied the vast majority of the people that essential sense of integrity. That denial is one that has brought about the desire to cling unto power even in the midst of opprobrious criticism to just step down. We've had several instances were public officials formed deaf ears to scathing allegations against their persons and offices until some powers force them out. The case of the erstwhile SGF, Babachir remains atypical.  One can now understand why Kemi's step is such remarkable and verily one that needs to be commended. But the truth is that, as easily obtained in the western world, taking an exit when the heat is on and there's suspicion here and there is but a natural thing. This is to say, even as much as we could appreci
