I'm surprised that some Nigerians do not understand what's happening by this time or they don't want to believe the evident.

I don't need a prophet to tell me, I know already.

Congratulations Active President Osinbajo.

Moral lessons: touch not God's anointed and do his prophet no harm.

***continues watching highlights from Madrid's match***

BTW, Madrid are more concerned about winning these days. Ronaldo is no longer scoring goals

This man hv really outsmarted Buhari within few days.
There is really a difference between an Educated professor of Law and a literate o'level holder.
The difference is very significant
May the God that elevated GEJ to presidency, elevate you, Osinbajo.
