I think say dem don kpai the guy sef? How the guy take get access to internet? Person wey suppose dey fan alaye for cell already?

chidekings:

the way you defend this gay thing.......come clean man,are u gay?

BlueRayDick:


The guy obviously cut off the internet in a bid to cover up the electoral fraud that happened, but the military that ousted him have restored the internet. Na that same internet he use upload the video

donjazzet:


No you are wrong. For something to be trendy, it has to be quite popular and I'm sure that's what he meant when he used the word. That was his context.

afrodoc2:


I mean why does HE have access to it? Has he not been arrested or they have not gained access to his residence yet?

BlueRayDick:


U are delibrately deciding to miss the point. I no get energy for back and forth this afternoon.

My point is the west fraternizes with sit-tight leaders when it suits their agenda and they do the reverse when it doesn't. It's called hypocrisy

Theflint1:
I used popular in the sense of the position held by the majority, which was what you alluded to when you said your positions are unpopular. Support for gay rights is trendy and popular, even though it's not the position of the majority.

donjazzet:


Please refer me to it.

chrisooblog:
Military are not tired of the shit show anything. They just don't access to the national pie or they are greedy and want more.

raumdeuter:


The West fraternize with any leader you choose in your country as long as it doesnt harm their interest simple.

So you expect the West to go and sponsor a coup to unseat Biya when the Camerounians keep voting him?

larride:
You can no longer remember the discussion and context you just argued some mins ago?
Is dementia setting in?

Theflint1:
I doubt they've gained access to his residency, and from what I heard, this isn't the first time a coup has been attempted against him, last time a coup was attempted, the coup plotters were killed and jailed. For the matter to don reach where e dey beg for foreign help, it seems this one is quite popular and would succeed if there's no foreign intervention.

BlueRayDick:


I never said that in my post

donjazzet:


Yes indeed, I was deceived by Tinubu that they were the answer to our problems and then I weighed up the fact that it was either them or PDP who had indeed normalised corruption in nigeria and I carefully decided to experiment with them and that experiment has proven a failure.

Now what does this have to do with my post.

Because it's almost like you're saying that because I voted the APC, I should never condemn and criticize them?

Does that seem like a reasonable proposition to you?

Do you believe that anyone who for whatever reason voted for the APC and Buhari should never acknowledge that their choice failed but should instead double down like the larrides and the dayo's and further entrench that failure??

You think it would be best if I stuck to APC no matter what even though I know the APC has failed? I should never point out how they failed us?
Because if that's not your point, then it's highly irrelevant to keep repeating this point whenever one points out the failure of this party that continues to doom nigeria.

I'm not sure what the context of the word trendy as used by Laride meant, but the fact that he chose to use trendy makes me believe he didn't mean the position held by the majority.

BlueRayDick:


I think he is only under house arrest in his residence; It is his son that was arrested and taken away

raumdeuter:


So you Buhari supporters are now cursing other people for supporting the same Buhari you supported twice

izzou:


A family has ruled for 56 years, and you think the military was not tired of it.

So, who exactly should have removed Bongo, for you to believe they were tired of the shit show?

larride:


Tinubu deceived you to vote Buhari how?

No it's not! Especially here in our society.

That is a blatantly false statement. Being pro-gay is very clearly unpopular here. How many persons here apart from on this very page is boldly and loudly speaking up for gay people or women.

Few weeks ago, I was attacked vehemently on the manUnited thread for speaking against Greenwood, a rapist. I have been attacked here for speaking up for women!

Can you point me to any evidence of gay rights being even mildly popular here or pro-women views or pro-atheist views. Because don't forget, the statement he's making there is that I support positions that are trendy (popular). When that is obviously not the case.

My positions on these issues are largely against the tide and I always receive heavy rebukes for them. So that is by definition UNPOPULAR! Which indeed makes me very bold for kicking on against the tide.

larride:


It's been 2yrs that Mali coupist gained power and a year for Burkina Faso, what exactly have they done in their respective countries that she admires?

Roland17:
When will African countries, especially the educated minds start holding their leaders primarily accountable for the state of the continent, instead of the West?

Emaprince:
When the educated ones are also aiding them?

African leadership is where your certificates and intelligence won't be needed. Once you get that position, your brains are rewired that only thing that matters is how to steal and stash loots away for your unborn generations.

liveLongNprospa:

Bros what were these countries like pre military coup?
If the people get tired of the military and scream for civilian rule then that's fine.

Change is constant till one of them clicks.

Emaprince:
Larride clearly didn't mean "extremely popular". Trendy in this case is same as wokeness - trying to align with whatever the new trend is right now.

To me, the whole thing is now looking like a fashion trend. Same way people ridiculing the existence of God and referring to Christ as a mere character in the Bible appears like every one forcing themselves to belong.
Wokeness is the birth of cancel cultures. Every one wants to sound woke.

Attention is a Hella drug to females.

Wokeness is the new drug now...for both sexes.

Theflint1:
Popular does not necessarily mean the position of the majority, and neither does trendy which is an even farther synonym. Laride said you jump on topics that are trendy, and support for gay rights is in vogue, chic, flashy, bold and VERY TRENDY.

That people don't make their support for gay rights/other seemingly oppressed groups an entire persona doesn't mean they are in support of the oppression that those groups face. You yourself said that on the Twitter post that broke your heart, you took consolation in the fact that there were several persons speaking against the oppression the gays in the video seemed to be facing, which shows that gays enjoy pretty popular support. So yea, support for gays is quite popular and very trendy.
