To you all saying negative things about the picture..

Change they say is constant, the slay mama pictures and Yoruba demons pictures we praise now as the big boys or girls of our own generation.
Am sure in 100years from now those generations will as well wonder and question the slayness and bigboyness in our own picture by the time it hit their then forum.

My fellow Nigerians, one good reason why we should vote for President Muhammadu is because he is a truthful man and a man of integrity and as the saying goes "Only those who love you will tell you the truth".
He just said the truth that Nigerians youth are uneducated and lazy, it is now left for Nigerian youths to go to school properly not graduating from university and you cannot spell "Boiys", be creative not studying electrical engineering and you cannot fix common bulb and be hardworking not graduating from school and waiting for government to provide everything because we are an oil producing country.
TO SUM IT UP, MY FELLOW COUNTY PEOPLE, LET'S COME TOGETHER AND SUPPORT THE MAN WHO REALLY MEANS WELL FOR NIJERIA.
GET YOUR PVC AND VOTE PMB FOR PRESIDENT 2019 INSHA ALLAHU

First set of comments are obviously from the indomie generation, or they obviously don't know the meaning of evolution, in years to come that stupid wears in ur Waldrop thinking you're really big with it would eventually be the laughs of tomorrow just like you're laughing at these way back big boys

If any of your family was among those who could wear shoes and tie in 1913, you will be among the top ruling class in the world, not Nigeria alone!
