People who call Obasanjo baba and can't manufacture pencils

This woman though looks soft in appearance has a mind that's made of steel. Still soaring high despite series of tantrums thrown at her from Jonathan's era till now.

Same reason so many individuals have refused to involve themselves in naija politics. They will tarnish your good identity and try to make you irrelevant. But if you can learn to be strong like Ngozi okonjo, their plans will not live to the see light of the full moon.
