The immediate past National Youth Leader of the Labour Party, LP, Comrade Anslem Eragbe has bared his mind on why he was suspended by the party’s leadership.

A letter signed by LP National Chairman, Julius Abure and National Secretary, Umar Farouk Ibrahim, dated Tuesday, October 18, 2022, suspended Anslem Eragbe for a period of six months, appointing Prince Kennedy in an acting capacity.

The party, in a letter dated October 10, 2022, by its Secretary Disciplinary Committee, Alh. Saleh Lawan accused Eragbe of five-count allegations of misconduct; insubordination, illegal funds soliciting without approval, and convening illegal and unapproved youth summit, among others.

In a rebuttal statement exclusively obtained by our reporter, Comrade Eragbe said the allegations by the so-called party officials is “baseless and unfounded”.

Will you shut up?

Peter obi was the governor of Anambra state and by extension, the chief security officer of the state. Under him, Igbos were killed and dumped inside a river, till date he hasn't provided satisfactory explanation and you are here saying "they are linking him" to the massacre. Is he not directly in charge of the state affairs?

Funny enough, Tinubu was neither the governor of Lagos State nor the president of Nigeria, yet you are very comfortable telling us he was directly involved in one imaginary massacre of Lekki endsars protesters.

You are accussing a private citizen of an imaginary massacre, yet attempting to exonerate a sitting gov of a real massacre, who did this to you.

Now let this sink, there is just no way Peter Obi can be the president of Nigeria, though you can continue to bullshit yourself with the artificial frenzy of "Nigerians will vote Peter Obi" but that will come to an end in February next year.

Oya, now go and post a photoshopped picture of Tinubu as an evidence the lying machine will smell Aso Rock.

Peter obi ole ole ole ole ole ole ole

Good day everyone, pls I'm in dire need of a bed I can be sleeping on.
I have been sleeping on the floor since I rented my apartment for like 5months ago, I was actually saving towards getting one for myself but an health issue came up on my mom and I have no option than to spend the money on that.

I'm broke to zero now and I'm not comfortable sleeping on the floor anymore cos it makes my back ache. I don't have anything in the room o but At least a bed to sleep on won't be bad to start with.

I'm pleading with anybody that has one they aren't using should please help me with it.
Preferably At Lagos.
May God reward you abundantly
