Why would American reps impeached a man of Triumph status ..what else are they looking for? To promote their homosexual and gay agenda that has died down since the president assumed power .We are praying seriously that the senate will throw out the impeachment agenda in Jesus name

Not in the same way, but we have seen leaders removed when their time was up (perhaps unconstitutionally):
our coups, stopping third-term agenda (which was NASS asserting itself during OBJ), Mugabe.

Funny in Nigeria, we've not had a leader serve more than 8 years, or two 4-year terms. (Gowon almost clocked 9 years, but didn't reach it)
That's because this is our longest period of Democracy since the last coup , we are still young but very dumb and adamant to learn or adapt

Let me start by asking this simple question:

The two count charges-abuse of power and obstruction of investigation by the congress leveled against Trump are true or false?

Please, answer this question before you rants you further but note, nobody has a monopoly of knowledge. You started well in making your point and opinion but however you goofed along the line.

it's false because the article of impeachment didn't present concrete evidence warranting their conclusion of abuse of power to justify impeachment but rather concluded based on "assumptions" and "hearsay"

Did you watch the congress debate at all yesterday to listen to the democrates and Republicans make their cases for impeachment or not? I am not sure you did..So your assignment is go and listen to the recorded version of the debate on youtube.then come back informed..I don't argue with ignorant folks.OK.

Oga, this is simple English.

You can blame a speaker for inaudibility or lack of clarity but certainly not for your inability to comprehend.

Transient does not in anyway mean 'that Trump is no longer president of the US. The man is obviously saying that public office holders must always realize that they can't remain in power till eternity, hence their conducts should be guided.

Whether or not Trump is impeached eventually, these certainly are 'humbling' times for him.
What is this one talking about?

Transient does not in anyway mean change, 'that Trump is no longer president of the US. The man is obviously saying that public office holders must always realize that they can't remain in power till eternity, hence their conducts should be guided until they is real transient, don’t you think this means change.

Whether or not Trump is impeached eventually, these certainly are 'humbling' times for him. I know this because he tweets carelessly and call them names like sham and disgraceful.

I don't need Buhari's car gift.

You can as well say I was the only one who voted to reelect Buhari.

Perhaps, not everyone isn't seeing.

Fair trial is for senate to allow the witnesses to testify and their claims investigated if possible by the FBI before casting their votes, that's what Nancy Pelosi is demanding and the reason for holding on to the articles of impeachment.
and why should trump allow the witness to testify when they can't provide evidence or the so called whistle blower during the trial for questioning. Why should he comply to their sham, kangaroo court order built on baseless hearsay? Everything was premeditated and calculated not to favor trump forget all their saying about protecting national interest.
This same court refused the coverage of fox News and other so called pro trump media.
This same court brought in 3 democrats apologist law professors to Republicans 1.
Everything has been planned fro the onset not to favor trump.
It's not a fair trial for a witch hunt and massacre of someone that did absolutely nothing wrong.

What Baba said is common knowledge but his choice of word is poor. Even a primary school child knows that in democracy, power is transient. It’s either 4 or at most 8years. This is neither deductive reasoning nor intelligent observation.
Moreover, to think that Trump has humbled is naive and facts contradicts that. His tweets, unapologetic statement and refusal to cooperate with the impeachment is an indication of the fact that he remains unruffled about the whole process.

Trump will win 2020 Election just like the way it happened in the Uk. Many thought the labour party will win but the people voted against the labour party because they wanted to send a message to the labour party that the will of the people will always stand.
This is what will happen in next year election, the Democrats think they are for the people but they will be voted out next year and loss majority in the house.
Absolutely! correct.

Chief Ebenezer Babatope, a former Minister of Transport on Thursday said the impeachment of US President, Donald Trump by the House of Representatives is a lesson to all world leaders that power is transient.

He however said like the the case of former US president, Bill Clinton, the impeachment will be quashed by the US Senate.

Speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, Babatope, a chieftain of the PDP said ” The impeachment of Donald Trump will fail at the Senate. Apparently, it is going to be the same thing that happened when Bill Clinton was impeached for allegedly having sexual intercourse with a woman, Monica Lewinsky”.

” He was impeached in the House but it was stopped at the Senate. The same will happen to Donald Trump”.

“What we can learn from it is that power is transient and no matter what happens, power will vanish the way it has come to the person who owns it” he said.

https://www.independent.ng/trumps-impeachment-lesson-to-leaders-that-power-is-transient-babatope/

What happened is disgraceful use of democratic majority. The liberals and lame media have been shamed. This impeachment is an abuse of power and flagrant display of despotic tendencies by the socialist groups in Democratic Party in USA.

Funny man.

He's impeached doesn't mean he's out already.

Senate has the final push out.
And i doubt they will push him out since majority are Republicans.

He clearly does not understand impeachment as defined in English language and in the US constitution.

The US Senate cannot quench or stop and impeachment, impeachment starts and ends in the House.

After that, if the House chooses; they can refer the article of impeachment to the Senate; the House can decided to either send or not to send it to the Senate; whether it is sent or not or if their is trial in the Senate or not; the President stand impeached!

The trial that takes place in the Senate is totally different, if the Senate convict him he will then be removed from office, if the Senate does not, he still remain an impeached President.

Impeachment is just an official Indictment of an offense. The Nigeria constitution have it wrong as the removal from office.
well in Nigerian case both houses have to agree 2/3rd and d head of judiciary is involved...

Did you read the indictments?

Can you name a single policy passed into law by the President that is aiding the job growth?

Not necessarily he sent bills to the house to be passed, Obama even made jest of him how he wanna get the GDP up, he has made different trade deals that favors America

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I still don't get what people in Nigeria are saying about this. ''Can this happen in Nigeria?'' etc etc. Can WHAT happen? Trump is still in power. He has not been removed from power.

Even their so-called Senate leader, Mitch McConnell, has come out in the open to say he will NOT be impartial in the Senate trial as mandated by law and his oath of office. And that he will support Trump!

Look, that country is sliding into dictatorship and anarchy that could destroy it. Their best solution is a military coup to remove Trump, because he will lead that country to chaos and anarchy if left unchecked.

Trump is not a smart guy politically , Buhari is politically smarter than trump, you may not agree with me is your choice.

I can’t laugh, someone that beat Clinton, a former First Lady and US senator is not politically intelligent, appoints 2 Supreme Court justice, over 39 appeal court judges, and he’s still politically dumb, I can’t laugh, what Romney couldn’t do, he did it, give it to the man, he may not be politically correct but that man is a fvcking gem

Thank you for this explanation, hope Nigerians can grab this.

And only serious offenses warrant the impeachment of a president like the one Trump committed putting national security in danger. But the blemish of impeachment lingers on whether the president is removed or not, in most cases, people tend to lose confidence in such leader to be reelected back to the office.

But his approval has went up by 6 points as at yesterday

He will be acquired in the senate if the matter is is brought to the senate floor, the reason pelosi won’t submit the articles of impeachment to Mitch and you know what, the senate can still acquit him of the impeachment charges, read bout Mitch, the man from Kentucky and you’ll see pelosi is no match for him, how he plays his game, check his records 4 decades till now
