We discovered the president have been getting much attention right since the time of being vice president to late ex president Musa Yar'adua as his name "Goodluck" was admired and cherished by many Nigerians and when he became the president the name became what many Nigerian parents now name their new born babies because the name is quite attractive. After becoming the president, his name became what most Nigerians were shouting when he increased the money for petroleum, many protests were made against him. And the heavy reign of insurgency started during his tenure making some Nigerians think his name is quite an opposite one to Nigeria as a whole, the president remains controversial and badly talked about as he failed to fulfil all the promises he made during his campaign.

Even before i came to lagos in 2010, i was hearing the name of T.B Joshua, even though i'd not seen his face anywhere. He should be on that list. If you care to know P-square is far more popular than most of the people on that list. 58 Likes |

I REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY EXISTENCE BECAUSE I NEVER WANTED TO EXIST AS A HUMAN. I GREW UP IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF HATE AND I REALLY WISH I WAS BORN OR CREATED IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM. MY WORLD IS ISOLATED AND EVERYTHING AROUND ME IS BITTER. LIFE ITSELF IS NOT WORTH LIVING GOING BY THE UNDAUNTED CHALLENGES ONE HAS TO OVERCOME. THIS EXISTENCE OF MINE IS WASTED AND I PRAY IF THERE IS A SECOND CHANCE IN LIFE, MAY GOD CREATE ME AS AN ANIMAL OR A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER 9 Likes 1 Share |
