Panicked passengers forced their way out of their rush hour train after a man read out Bible passages in the carriage. The train was just outside Wimbledon at around 8.30am, when the man started reading out phrases such as ‘death is not the end’.
Commuters became scared, and started trying to get out of the carriage as quickly as possible. As the passengers forced open the doors and climbed frantically onto the tracks, the rail power lines were cut. The train was travelling from Shepperton to Waterloo, one of London’s busiest commuter lines.
Cops,transport police here to meet him, all very calm, police shake his hand, take him to chat. Some people offer to be witness for him
Ian, who was on the train, tweeted that the man’s Bible-reading caused a ‘crush’ and a ‘commotion’. He said that someone asked the man to stop speaking ‘as he was scaring people’, after which ‘the guy stopped and stood there with his head down’.
Other passengers praised a guard, who apparently dealt with the situation with ‘compassion, restraint and bravery’. A Network Rail spokesman said: ‘Passengers self-evacuated off a train and on to the tracks at Wimbledon this morning after a passenger incident. ‘British Transport Police are investigating and there were no injuries to passengers or staff.
‘This has caused significant delays to services in and out of Waterloo that will continue for the rest of the morning. ‘A signal failure at Waterloo also caused some earlier disruption to trains – this was resolved by 0815.
We apologise for delays to journeys this morning and ask passengers to please check before they travel.’ A British Transport Police spokesperson told Metro.co.uk: ‘We were called at 8.31am today to Wimbledon after reports of a disturbance on a train to Waterloo. Passengers evacuated themselves onto the tracks. ‘BTP attended and are carrying out enquiries at present. No one was injured and no arrests have been made.’
Scared sinners, they don't want to hear the truth, maybe if he was reading about riches and stuff like that they would have stayed, just like in Nigeria you go to CAC you become scared in some way, but you are not just scared it's called guilt and you know it so you should change your ways unlike the new generational ...........l
LifestyleTonite: CELEBRITIESBefore You Compare Davido To Wizkid, Tell Davido To Perform With A Live Band BySegsPosted on 02/10/2017
BEFORE YOU COMPARE DAVIDO TO WIZKID, TELL DAVIDO TO PERFORM WITH A LIVE BAND
It is becoming nauseating seeing social media fans always looking for a way to bring in Davido whenever news of Wizkid achieving a new feat is trending. Both guys are good and talented both we have to consider many things before we can say who is best among them.
Nigerian music today is fast moving from when lip-syncing was the order of the day. Then, all a musician had to do was jump around the stage with his microphone off half the time while a DJ plays his music for him to lip-sync to. That is gradually changing now.
The reason why Wizkid’s Royal Albert Hall Concert was a major trend worldwide is simply because he did the extraordinary, something unusual of himself. Apart from the show being sold out, he performed with a live band without showing fatigue or singing off key. This is similar to what Fela, Bob Marley, King Sunny Ade etc all did.
If any Nigerian Artiste will win a Grammy award, that Artiste will have to perform with a live band multiple times. It’s when you succeed in doing such that you can be considered for an award or even to perform at the Grammies right in front of the creme de la creme of music worldwide.
With the successful live performance at the Royal Albert Hall Concert, what fans should expect henceforth is a new legendary Wizkid. Any Artiste compared to Weezy must attain such feat. Anything below that equates to you being below his league.
See what Youtubers are saying about the performance.
This bloggers and there stupid post, all because wizkind perform for a 5400 capacity hall and performed live, well Davido performed livrn in Ghana and London, he used "the composers" band
aminulive: The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC), Chief John Oyegun has stated that his party wants to win the upcoming Anambra state Guber elections because it wants to change a narrative in the south-east.
PoliticsNGR learnt that Oyegun, who spoke at the inauguration of a 48-member campaign council for the party's candidate in the November elections, Tony Nwoye, disclosed that the party needed to win the elections to end the cries of marginalization by the south-east.
We must change the narrative in the South-East and we must start with Anambra because the APC represents the most viable route for any South-East person to the presidency of this country.”
Oyegun also described Anambra as the 'Gateway to the south-east'. In his words;
"It is important that we do everything we can, fair and square, to bring Anambra State into the fold of the progressives for a lot of reasons.Until we manage to bring a few states into the mainstream of progressives’ politics, we may not see the end of this continued cry of marginalisation.
It is important that we work and work very hard to win Anambra being a critical state in the South-East. It is not going to be a small political struggle. We must work hard with unity of purpose to break through to the South-East in a major way to win Anambra.
It is very important, essential and vital that we manage to hammer together not just a patchwork of peace or make-believe kind of camaraderie but a very serious unity of purpose between all those who aspired to that office to act as a serious guarantee that we are indeed also serious in winning the Anambra governorship seat."
Winning Election will End marginalization of south East says Oyegun, the same oyegun and his cohorts have said the south east is not marginalized, as since when did anambra represent the south east, is the governor of anambra the governor of the south east or does he represents the south east people, for campaign tactics they accept there's marginalization in the south east, after election, marginalization will not exist in there dico

GenBuhari: Many NGO are imperialist tools to destablise African countries and some of them are responsible for recruiting for terrorist like Boko H, or encouraging agitators like IPOB.
Foolhardy not to regulate any foreign owned organisation operating in your country.
This regulation seems to have scared imperialist catfishes operating on NL, Here is just a few of those commenting in this thread.
Well said genbuhari, but pls what kind of regulation does BBOG need, it's an NGO too.
SillyMods: In all sane societies, NGO funding is regulated. From USA to UK, from Russia to Turkey. No where in the world are NGOs left unmonitored because they can easily be used for financing of terrorism and related activities.
Truth is mine.
They are not talking about fund regulations but the NGO itself

morereb10: American rap star, Jay Z, in an interview with BBC on Friday, the 22nd day of September, 2017 said Trump’s administration is a joke. In his words:
“I believe that we are resilient, especially us as black people and especially the culture. We’ve been through so much more than this guy,” “This guy, I’m looking at him like, man, this is a joke, with all — I can’t even say with all due respect — with all disrespect.”
Jay Z said ‘Trump is not a “sophisticated man” — particularly pointing out the ideas that everyone is free. Until everyone is free, no one is free,” “Period. That’s just a fact.”
“We are all linked some kind of way. So if you oppress a certain people, everyone is in danger, karmically and in real life. If I’m being oppressed and you have this big, nice mansion, I’m coming inside there. That’s gonna happen, that’s just how life is,”
Blacks should deal with the fact that Obama is not the president anymore, America is so used to one particluar style of presidency where they are not confronted with the truth. They are not getting invited to the Whitt house as usual, not singing my president is black and co, he legalized weed in some state but the tide don change, let them deal with it, when this kind of people talk you feel trump is not liked in America, that's according to fake news/media, whites like him and most of them voted for him, he's there President this time

This man is just so bitter, forming street here and there, trying all possible means to stay in the news, obj is not president again, you don't have anyone to sing against or abuse, all the new boys rich pass you, even most of the guys back then rich pass you, instead of him to align with them, he's always shouting we pave the way for you, we fought for the industry, story for the gods, even people like pdiddy, jayz, uncle rush dem still align with new school rappers so the money can keep flowing in, retarded eedris
RationalTV: Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has stated that the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra will affect the chances of Igbos to produce Nigeria’s president.
According to him, the agitators had every right to complain about marginalization and not a call for separation from the country. He told newsmen on Thursday that IPOB was not good for the South East, and it was not the best way for them to complain about marginalisation to the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
He said, “There are better ways; the IPOB way is too primitive. If IPOB must do a thing like that it should have changed the name and fought the way Ijaw youths fought, Arewa youths fought, and they would have made more impact. For everything that comes from the Igbo man, we love to go to the extreme.
“Now you want to separate yourself from Nigeria, meanwhile, South-South will not go with you, Edo, Rivers will not go with you. If you cut us off here now as South east, if I need to go to Rivers State, I will go and ask for passport and visa, and we are keeping quiet to say this. “If there is a crisis now, there is no Hausa man in Igbo land who has a duplex, there is no Yoruba man who has a room and parlour or a N20 million investment in Igbo land, but Igbo have trillions of naira virtually everywhere.
“The same people are asking for secession. If Igbo are asked to go, what happens? They would lose their property, and all of us are keeping quiet, supporting IPOB! It was very childish, and those behind this should stop, that is my advice.
“South-South has produced the president, South-West has produced a president and Vice President, the north has produced many presidents, it is hoping that one day in the next shift, by whatever arrangement, the next people that should be considered is the South-East by Nigeria’s sharing formula. “So, where are we in our wisdom and the intelligence? That is my position on IPOB; my advice is that Igbo should change their style and condemn IPOB in a manner that should be done and let us flow with the rest of Nigeria for now because we shall benefit more than anyone else.”
We already know this Mr will vie to be a president someday, so stylishly campaigning at the expense of IPOB and the bases of Igbo in other part of the country. How would you even face the so called IPOB people and tell them you want to be president okorohausa
Clear contrast between Nigeria and U.K, imagine lai Mohammed saying it's all about freedom of expression for the U.K, so what's it all about for Nigeria, truth hurts and when it does you do all you can to clamp down the medium which is used to bring out the truth man. U.K government can't shut the radio station, they gave the license in the first place and it's something this NG government should learn from
kitaatita: They are not IPOB members; they are Igbo. They are not demanding for secession, they are calling for restructuring. They are not engaged in hate speech. They are not calling for anybody to be killed. They are not threatening to kill anybody and they are not calling their country a zoo. They are different from Nnamdi Kanu. I allign myself with their position.
No restructure, no one nigeria, that doesn't sound like a threat to you
SuperSuave: https://cd.tooxclusive.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Olamide.jpg There is no (real) battle for supremacy as far as music from the street goes. Olamide is the overlord and he reigns supreme while other indigenous rappers tussle for leftover titles. Olamide occupies the influential positions that there is in ‘street music’ – he is the ‘voice of the street’, ‘the King of street’ and ‘baddest (perhaps greatest) guy ever liveth.’
Apparently, the King of the street is content with the territory he commands. On several occasions, he has maintained that he won’t go out of his way to appeal to the international community – indeed, but what if international success was freely given and not needing strategic planning or extra effort, would Olamide still say no to awoof?
Olamide is taking a conservative approach to this international market penetration and it is understandable considering that it seems better to have an egg today than a hen tomorrow. Olamide has a firm grip on the local market but some observers believe he is not just ‘street material,’ they say he is Hollywood material and they would rather bet on him to ‘blow’ on the international scene than on Barcelona in an El-Classico match. MMG rapper, Wale is one of such persons and he seems to see an international worthiness in Olamide. Thus he has given the YBNL boss opportunities to make a claim for international exposure not even once nor twice, but multiple times even, yet the YBNL boss chose to stay ‘street’.
Here is a list of 5 times Olamide had the opportunity but failed to impress the international community:
Olamide’s near absence on the field of international march doesn’t seem to be resulting from lack of interest but a function of unsuccessful attempts and maybe due to his conservatism. However, his local content which he is best at creating, are beginning to find their way to the audience abroad. For instance, US producer Swizz Beats made a good show grooving to Wo! and maybe it’s a sign that Olamide would break into the international market but honestly, that seems beyond belief.
Trying to level allegations against Kanu again, only a fool would believe anything the police and the Army HQ says about Kan. I strongly believe nothing was found in the house, the army shot at his house and his supporters, ransacked his house and all of that but it's the police who says the found this and that, what we have now is propanganda, lies and defamation by bodies who are supposed to be noble in there dealings.
No matter what they try, only gullible people who don't own there self will believe this untrue story, sadly some guys from the north even agree he is a terrorist, shekau and Kanu, the difference is clear.
amakadihot87: ............but y cant kanu find something useful and do with his life ..........rather than indirectly causing the deaths of these people
Those who lost there life's are the one who believe in the cause, just like many of them would, it happened in Sudan, when the killing was too much, the international community stepped in, South Sudan was created and since then there's been peace, what does Nigeria stand to lose if the south east break away, when he started he didn't ask for this secession, he asked for referendum which is allowed by the constitution, he knows his people and what they want, let them put it to vote and if they win, let them go NB: UK decision to leave the EU was by referendum NB: Catalonia decision to leave Spain will be by referendum
If the people don't want it then the region will remain, but it feels like some quarters are scared of the south east break away.
Did not take long for the Headquarters of Biafra to be abandoned. So those " Biafra Secret Service" and those Ariaria trained "Commandos" abandoned Ship?
And just like his business venture in the UK, he has failed once again in life.
Why the illiterates chose this uneducated dropout out as their leader is a little puzzling.
I guess people that fail in life attract each other.
Some comments i read here is unbelievable. Somebody even mentioned 20 Billion in damages lol. For a place not befitting a Hen House?but is a Palace in the land of the illiterate Kanu and his followers.
And who will compensate those that own the Mosques and Northern businesses burned down in Abia?who will pay for the Police Station burnt?who will pay for the wide lootings by IPOB members in the East?who will pay for the destruction of lives and properties in Rivers by IPOB followers?
Easy to call Kanu a failure cos you recognize him, you see him hold rallies, people know where he lives, the army was there to assasinate him( look the pics). We are quick to judge cos he's all up in our faces, but we never said that about the militants or Boko haram, I've never heard someone say this group have failed, why ? Because they carry arms, you don't know them but you know there region, the army as been on the heels of BH, they said he's in sambisa, 1 and half years on, BH is still solid and there leader whereabout unknown, Just like El Zakkay of Zaria, he had a non violent group, but the movement was growing, a colonel said on channels tv said the government needs to cut his wings because now controls half of zaria, I'm sure you know what they did to him, Army oppressed them, made the group go violent so they can make a case against there leader, they killed a lot of his followers including his children, they took him away, he was granted bail but never let him go, when you are defenseless, you look weak and it's easy to judge, maybe if this group bear arms and they kill on a daily basis, and they are hiding, maybe the word failure won't be used to qualify them.
davodyguy: Adeyemo Akintunde is thinking about life. Yesterday at 2:32pm · Lansing, MI, United States ·
Re: "Operation Python Dance"
Here in the United States, I've worked with some top military brass (my boss in this picture is a colonel and counsel to General Vadnais of the United States Army).www.nairaland.com/attachments/5969683_adeyemo_jpeg36f1cb47cb176f0ba1c1c8b9ba79bb6f Military strategists don't like war/conflicts, but they've no choice. In any military operation, things can get ugly very fast.
When I (as a law clerk to the General Counsel) participated in "Operation Northern Strike" scenario, Captain Ryan tasked me to review a pocket-size rule of engagement for soldiers, so I included all statutory and humanitarian laws in it.
During the simulation exercise, we got some feedbacks from foot soldiers and their leaders: JAG (acronym for military lawyers) officers are unrealistic, they said.
When real hostilities begin or any military operation is initiated, and a soldier faces an imminent threat to his life, he doesn't revert to a pocket-size manual on the rule of engagement (he doesn't call the Commander-in-Chief); his first instinct goes to his basic training: And that can mean anything, depending on individual soldiers.
Does a soldier face the risk of being tried in a military court, for violations of human rights? Yes, but guess who will judge him? A soldier (or soldiers) who had been in his shoes. With all the atrocities committed in Iraq, Israel, and Afghanistan, how many soldiers are in prison?
My point is this: Don't mess with soldiers with guns and bullets. Let's embrace peace, for "dead men tell no tales."
Akintunde F. Adeyemo.
His statement is bad, the atrocities committed in Iraq, Israel and Afghanistan by US Army was vindicated by the US gov itself on the argument that they needed to bring peace and order to the region, what if an army commits any atrocity or do anything to harm a civilian( a US citizen) my people we know what will happen na, US is not like Nigeria mr Colonel, at least you thought about humanitarian laws in your dealings, but here in nigeriA, they don't put anything in consideration.
Many Landscapes have been so utterly transformed in so little time as the slice of South Eastern Nigeria called Abakaliki. The terrain itself, until a few decades ago, was mocked as “The Dust of the Nation.” Visitors who dared to venture into it ended with a bitter taste in the mouth. Being an Abakaliki man was a mark of shame. The Abakaliki I knew could not even boast of one tarred road. The state was lying prostrate in utter ruins orchestrated by long years of abject neglect and dehumanization. The result was that the pride of the Ebonyi man was bruised and battered and we simply faded to laughing stocks before our neighbours and contemporaries.
Though Ebonyians have tested power from the hands of successive governments since it was carved out to exist as a state in 1996, the people had received very little in the way of any positive lasting legacy.
Then came the Umahi magic 19 years down the line! Abakaliki, formerly a sprawling metropolis has floated to an architectural marvel. The state now qualifies for a spot in the list of Nigeria's finest state capitals. Within the last 2 years, Abakaliki town has been meticulously engineered to become one of the nation’s grandest metropolises , and the fastest growing city in the South east region.
The speed at which modern Abakaliki has sprung up is hard to conceptualize. Surely, Ebonyians who have not visited the state for so long should get ready to embrace a new reality upon their return. With a look at the road networks, street lighting intervention, water fountain concepts, the art works and other numerous infrastructures that adorn the state, it's clear that development in the state has entered an irreversible stage. The hallmark of the series of reforms that have swept through the state can simply be smelt in the state capital.
While the task of readying the state for investment inflow has been a massive undertaking for Governor Umahi, perhaps the greatest logistical feat was reconstruction of the Abakaliki Township stadium within the heart of the city. The ambitious undertaking has been accelerated by pressing infrastructure demands. Upon completion, it quickly became a defining image for the state. Just last week, a portrait showing the extent to which the skyline of Abakaliki has improved flooded the social media and instantly rewarded the governor with an enviable online fan base. The picture offered stunning view of Abakaliki from the sky.
It is always exciting to discover a city from above and Abakaliki made no exception with its famous monuments and landmarks put in place by the government of Engr David Umahi. The aerial view displaying the image of the newly reconstructed Abakaliki township stadium and the Udensi roundabout was another great example of government in action. The vista was simply breathtaking and the response overwhelming. Many are still surprised that a Nigerian state thought of constructing such a wonderful stadium like ours in the face of biting recession. Today, the Abakaliki township stadium is something of a destination in it's own right. This stadium is majestic, amazing; it is a timeless and priceless piece of architecture. It is the first of its kind in the state. It is trendy and I think this should be the pride of not just South East, but the entire Nigeria.
Though the phraseology differed, for those who commented online, the general sentiment in the vast majority was the same: Two decades have brought such monumental change—what will the Salt of the Nation look like in two more years?
Abakaliki may be one of the smaller state capitals, but what Abakaliki lacks in size, it makes up for in style: staggering beauty and architecture which is even threatening to upstage some of country's finest.
As a part of Governor Umahi's contribution in making Abakaliki a mega City , the governor has gone a step further into the digital age with introduction of another modern technology. The city is now adorned with backlit 48 sheets , ultra display and LED screen billboard. This large screen LED billboards, are popping up in hot places like Udensi round about junction. this has proved a major attraction for passersby. These brilliant digital displays offer effective, high impact , targeted , and flexible beautiful displays. In places like Lagos, these digital displays are widely accepted as the new advertising medium, because of their myriad advantages such as : dynamic creative elements and interactivity guaranteed delivery and scheduled display, multiple advertisers with no clutter , co- op revenue opportunities , instant digital changes for season , price , or promotion , rapid ability to update content , timely insertion of trailer loops with advertising content , instant digital programming with informative and entertaining content , and the ability to deliver specific messages to specific audiences in specific locations
Today, Abakaliki can confidently rank as one of the fastest growing state capitals in Nigeria. Successful milestones have been achieved in the beautification of the capital city, particularly in the night. A stroll down the streets of Abakaliki is an indulgent experience by any measure but when you add classic skyline view to the package, things enter a whole new level of luxury.
When in 2015, Engr David Umahi became the governor, many observers believed that a possible end to the dark days and the snail-pace development of the state may be in sight after all. This is because analysts shared the sentiment that the governor is a stickler for excellence. I am one of those who believe strongly that the heart of Governor Umahi must have bleeded seeing the sorry state of the capital city then. So when he was sworn-in I knew that a major reform was not only necessary but imminent in the state capital.
Today, we are happy that there are such reforms at all levels and the results are there for anybody to see and verify. This is my joy as an Ebonyian. His government has taken visible steps in the restoration of the Abakaliki master plan. Umahi's pre-election years must have been spent preparing the ground for a major revolution such as identifying all decrepit structures qnd ailing sectors, with a specific mandate to clean up the city when fate eventually beckons.
And today it is on record that never in the 21years history of the state have such earth shaking socio-economic and political restructuring, and reforms been formulated and implemented like in the last two and half years. And today, Abakaliki is better for it while Ebonyians are happy for it.
Indeed, Governor David Nweze Umahi possesses the stuff of a legend. Thumbs up the People's governor!
Ex governors and incubent governors always developing the same area that has been at the fore front of development, it's good to continue the good work, but how many local government in that state or in the state capital itself can boast of major developments
Hmajeed: �... which international community... Shey the one that is still battling with US/NK war... them leave that one come settle Biafra dispute
Yinmu
If you know what international communities do, you won't react like that, what did the president of Sudan do before he became the priority of the international community, Yahya Jameh too, the North Korea and US problem has been there even before us and certainly before there so called dictator, his father started it and in those days it was relatively calm, the clamour for international community is based on the fact the decision of the UN and all involved supercedes that of Nigeria you know, they'll preach to the Nigeria government to allow the constitution takes it place which actually gives room for referedum, if Buhari disagrees, then he's on the path of losing what he enjoyed(International community and diaspora support )before he got to power, that was how it began with Gaddafi, Mugabe, and Castro of Cuba, saddam Hussein, kim jun in or whatever is on that road too and so on.
Sadly the Nigerian army don't know the houses of this Arewa forum men so they can lay siege on there place of abode too, Tanko yankassai said they are the majority remember
WotzupNG: Photos show thousands of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, members in tippers, buses and other cars from different South-East states heading to their leader’s home, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in Umuhia, the Abia state capital after Nigerian army, again, are seen with armoured tankers in front of Kanu’s home.
I like this tactical game Buhari and Kanu is playing, it's like Manutd vs Mancity lol, Buhari is trying to force the hand of Kanu to make his people go violent by thereatening them will military men who have no business on the street of the nation, this is no terittorial battle of tereorist attack, meanwhile Kanu is forcing Buhari by using his brothers to quench the fire Buhari is setting, notice in all the video his supporters are always talking about international community, they want all the world leaders and players to see what's happening, so the question is will you shoot at those people, will you brutalize them using military force which is against the Geneva convention laws and that of Nigeria, this is a game of civilization, right now Kanu is winning while Buhari is doing more harm than good.
biomustry: Most shops used by northerners in the city centre of Umuahia were under lock and key yesterday.
Those of them who hawk their products on wheelbarrow where not cited on the major streets of Umuahia either. Even the highly populated Old Owerri Road where the mosque is located in Umuahia was deserted.
Daily Trust gathered that this was in fear of attack by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) who were seen in different tricycles and buses moving round major streets from Isi-gate axis to Ubakala in Umuahia South Local Government Area where a military checkpoint is located.
As of the time of this report, no solider was sighted at Ubakala checkpoint. IPOB members had towards the evening taken to the city centre chanting different songs, destroying lock up shops and forcing all other traders to flee, and at of the time of this report, the busy city centre had been deserted and night life in Umuahia paralyzed.
Military presence was felt in the day until about 6pm when most military posts became empty.
The Chairman of Traditional Rulers’ Council, Umuahia North Local Government Area, HRM Eze Philip Ajomuiwe, who spoke on the clash between IPOB members and the military Sunday, advised the Federal Government to rather engage Biafra agitators in dialogue instead of using brute force against them.
Some say it's not right, but this is what Military brutality is leading too, this is what Buhari led government is leading too. If this people turn violent they have the right too because dialogue won't help what they want and this is not U.K. Where everyone can vote to stay or go, there was war in Sudan before South Sudan was let go, India and Pakistan fought before Pakistan was let go, various country and groups fought for the freedom that's why there's a red color on flags of nations or group that either fought for her freedom.
Nigeria never fought for freedom, it was through dialogue, that's one reason why the country is like this because those who gave the freedom feels whenever there's something they can go ahead and dialogue and that's it, but for biafrans they fought and they should keep fighting until they realize the dream, because that's how it's done
lexy2014: in 2015, buhari won majority votes 2 become d president of Nigeria. which means, majority of nigerians felt in buharis hands, nigeria was safe&secure.2years down d line, he has become a monumental disaster. If nigerians who supported him then foresaw this, do u think they would have voted 4 him? many Nigerians that supported buhari in 2015 have become disenchanted that doesn't make them moles. Those who didnt support buhari in 2015 feel vindicated and have d smile of "i told u so" on their faces.To have a sense of d gravity of d issue, cast ur mind back to when d president went 2d Uk 4d first time. D energy from osinbajo was palpable. D man was allover d place providing leadership and touching base with d electorate. He became an instant hit, a rock star. 4d first time since 2015, Nigerians felt like they were being led.even d forex market felt d vibe.but when he came back what happened? when u talk about drinking d milk of d land under pretense,is everybody in buharis govt honest about their intentions toward Nigeria, or is buhari d land u referring to?
So in totality, buhari's failure to deliver the promises made to Nigerians and failure to deliver good governance and better the life's of people plus him not having the capacity to do so made people become disloyal to him, even his own cabinet member, for me I'll say the loyalty was not there in the first place.
He was just an option in 2015, everyone took advantage of that
