Kid's Guide to the (USA🇺🇸) Electoral College 👇

In the United States, there are 538 electoral college votes that decide who becomes the president irrespective of the popular votes. For example, Hillary Clinton won the popular votes in 2016 by 3million votes, but Trump had more
electoral college votes and became the president.

Are you with me so far?

Electoral college votes allocated to each state is different. For example, California has 55 votes, New York, 29 and Nevada 6.

Fortunately, the candidate who wins the popular votes of a state
also wins all the electoral college votes. Even though this is not mandated by law. For example, President Trump won 51% of the popular votes of Florida and so was given all its 29 electoral college votes. You need 270 electoral college votes to win the presidency.
Let's give an example with Nigeria🇳🇬.

Let's say Kano, Katsina and Kebbi states all have 15 electoral college votes each. If Buhari wins Kano and loses both Katsina and Kebbi to Atiku, he would have lost the election because he would have only 15 electoral college votes
while Atiku would have 30 - even though his 6 million popular votes from Kano alone are more than the 3 million Atiku got in both states combined.

PLS: Give me a thumbs-up 👍🏾 if you understand it this time.

EDO DECIDES.

Akorede Soremekun

I went, saw and discovered the intriques that led to the shocking defeat of APC in Edo. The truth is APC candidate lost to "FATE" cabals who had eat fat into our common heritage.
As a Historian and political strategist, I was able to discovered that indeed, @PastorIzeIyamu lost to "THE FATE" cabals whose interest are all about 2023 Presidential Elections not for the development of the EDO State.
The Word "FATE" is an acronym for Fayemi, Amaechi, Tambuwal and El-Rufai. They sit in the @OfficialAPCNg to actualise their selfish interest above collective interest of the Party. Same things played out in Bayelsa, the main opponent of Lyon David was not Seriake Dickson nor

AFTER I HAD CLEANED MY HOUSE AND TIDIED UP...

a short #Thread 👇

My brother phoned me and said: I am coming to visit, and my wife is with me.

I entered my kitchen to prepare for them whatever I could, But I could not find anything available to serve them.
I went looking for something to serve, but I did not find anything except few oranges.
Therefore, I made two cups of cold juice immediately.

When my brother and his wife entered I was shocked to see her mother who came to visit us for the first time.
So I served the two cups of juice to his wife and her mother, and a cup of plain water I placed in front of my brother, and said to him: I know that you like 7up, he drank a sip and realised that it was water.

UMAR IBN AL-KHATTAB (R.A) was one of the most powerful and influential Muslim caliphs in history. He was a senior companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He succeeded Abu Bakr (R.A) (632–634) as the second caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate on 23 August 634.
He was an expert Muslim jurist known for his pious and just nature, which earned him the epithet Al-Farooq (the one who distinguishes – between right and wrong). May his quotes inspire you to be a good person and an individual of action.
1. “The best way to defeat someone is to beat him at politeness.” Umar ibn Al-Khattab

2. “Do not grieve over what has passed unless it makes you work harder for what is about to come.” Umar ibn Al-Khattab

SOME POWERFUL LIFE BULLET POINTS...

®️She wasn't your wife, you had sex with her, she became pregnant, you made her abort. Illegal relationship + murder, committed by you alone and you are boasting ..... "I've conquered that babe"... #Repent
®️He is not your husband, you are having/had sex with him, collecting money from him and you think you are a sharp girl. You are an armed robber, robbing people with your body. #Repent
®️She's not properly dressed, instead of you to preach to her, you are shouting "WOW!!! you look sexy.... Brother you're part of the problem. #Repent

A MUST READ #THREAD ON PROSTATE...

After age 40, for reasons that may be hormonal, the prostate gland begins to enlarge. From 20 grams it may grow almost 100 grams. As it enlarges, it squeezes the urethra and the man begins to notice changes in the way he urinates.
His urine stream is weak, cannot travel a long distance and sometimes may come straight down on his legs.

*TERMINAL DRIPPLING:*

The man begins to notice that after urinating urine still drops on his pants.
*HESISTANCY*

At this point you wait longer for the urine flow to start. There are 2 valves that must open for you to urinate – the internal and external sphincters. Both open but because of obstructions in the urethra, you wait longer for the flow to start.
