WTF

Jokesters

Who is deceiving who? What about the 20B Naira earmarked for the prosecution of election? We are not fooled by this nonsense.

So we have this kind of people that c a n release this kind of money. And when we are looking for sponsors for a dying baby we would not see anyone to donate a kobo PDP see yourselves. See how these people are.

Fingers crossed

Abeg who do I give my donations to?

These people think we are f00ls. We all know that the 8,000 organization PDP claims are yearning for Jonathan to be re-elected is funded by the party. I'm close to one of them is the South South. Yeye dey smell.

Yet Buhari supporters could not raise N27M for him to purchase his nomination form.
They watched as the man went cap in hand to the bank in order to request for a loan.

Part of the money wey jonathan help them loot. They're only doing thanksgiving

PDP Power!!!

Everyone wants to identify with success and not failure typified by Buhari. When my President finally declares I will make half of my next month salary available for his campaign.

This is called Putting your money where your passion is. And Nobody from Buihari's camp not even his defeated Boko boys could raise a farthing for him..
Ride on my humble President.
We the Good masses support you!!
GEJ teachin' APC basic politics since Buhari's ruthless Decree4.
GEJ till 2019

More donor Northerners in the list. Who said we do not love GEJ across the Niger? Who??

what are u donating? cash or kind?

a man who borrow 27.5m or the one who friends help raise 22m,who do i vote for?

GMB said I want to at least pay for my nomination form myself so as not to be indebted to anybody. We have a sitting president who is gonna procure his own nomination form of 24m with a donation of 100m. Now tell me why he won't try to pay them back for their patronage.

He should keep the balance against next year for his relocation to otueke. Cos nigerians have said no more to corruption and clueless leadership.

So na only Ondo North senatorial district go vote for am in the whole south west. Really hard to be a jonaTAN saTAN goon right now.

In that case, lemme consult with TAN leadership to support my candidature.

E warriors who cannot assist their master financially.

How much low can Nigerian Government and politicians go.. Imagine the president accepting donation from Association of widows and people with disability. He only needed 22 million naira for the ticket, he got 98 million, why not return the donation of this two associations, at least it can be put in better use.

I even wonder if these type of associations represent who they claim to represent

I want to donate for Oga jona sef ? Anybody knows how i can ?
