This is the main reason i wanted to go to school bt.....

I thought some days back he appointed 1 aboki as new media or am I hallucinating?

Bro I don't envy you because it will be an uphill task defending this saintly corrupt government. Remember Nigerians are wiser now so you must be ready to receive the backlash. Congratz on your new appointment.

Ok

Congrat

Congrats tolu

Lord help us to channel our energy correctly...some been ranting since 1999, yet no door open for them.

Oya na.

You can hate or love him. Either way, he is worthy of this appointment. He has been a fervent and unflinching follower of PMB.

Loyalty pays brothers and sisters.

Don't be clement.
Sitting on the fence not permitted.

It is either God or Satan.
It is either PMB or GEJ.
It is either WAILERS or DULLARDS.

Congrats Tolu.

Don't ask me which party I belong. .....I'm after good governance of calling a Shovel not a Trowel.



Na JJ Omojuwa and some Ngenes from NL remain now.

To counter the e-warriors of the opposition.

Twitter 'ranting' finally paid off!!! Congrats

Buhari is hell-bent on killing this Nation.. We don't actually need this much appointments this time of the year.

Tolu is sharp

What about JJ Omojuwa

Congrats to him. He should keep up with the social media lies and propaganda for his pay master.

Meanwhile, nothing for Aisha rice eater Omojuwa aka #TwitterOrubebe?

Let's have a minute silence for Omenka, Gbawe, Passingshot and Ngeneukwuenu who are still being forgotten by buhari for the fight and dirt they take on Nairaland for his sake
