Happy newyear in advance.

I didn't read the news but I know that Tinubu cannot win the presidential election.

Great �

Nice, my grand father always participated in boats regatta in his life time in Rivers state. We still have his boats and paddles, which has his name inscribed on it.

It's so much fun to see colorfully designed boats all paddling away fiercely in a friendly competition.

Wow! Beautiful exhibition.

In the Write up, they did NOT indicate which State the community is located??..

Yet no one from there represents Nigeria during Olympic in swimming....but who do I blame self?

Good for tourism

Lol, the festival was contested by age groups, men, women, representatives of the PDP flagbearer...

As in, they were not part of the men, women and age groups? They came under the umbrella of "representatives of PDP..."?

I know you wanted to advertise the party, but next time, rearrange the write-up well, and include more pictures to show the colourfulness of the boat regatta festival

Make sense
