Of all kinds of governments, the most difficult kind of government is constitutional democracy. This is because it requires full participation of the citizens.

Trump is using Hitler’s playbook to achieve world domination. Trump’s followers are required to believe his Hitler style big lie that he won the 2020 election. They actually don’t believe it, but like all Trump’s other lies, must pretend they do.

Another Hitler model is Trump’s GESTAPO, the ICE terrorists. They are deliberately designed to create fear and terror. So, that is why they wear masks, are armed, and use brutal tactics.

But his creation of fear and terror is not limited to American citiz

I am in receipt of a letter that asked parents to pay for an excursion to England. I was very perturbed because this goes beyond the mandate of the school. These kids barely know the geography of Nigeria, and you want to export them to another culture for indoctrination and cultural imperialism.

What is London for the Nigerian child? Are we still under colonialism? This program has nothing to improve the child except to give them a false sense of elitism which has destroyed N
