Where does Tinubu get these blockheads from? What has satchet alcohol got to do with bandits and suicides?
If satchet alcohol turns people to bandits then guys who can buy bottles of wine, spirits and gin should become suicide bombers. How can a whole DG of NAFDAC be this dumb?

I wonder how old you are. She is old enough to be our grandmother, you can argue your point without insulting her.

She will make more money as an agency if sachet liquor thrives, but she is fighting for the lives of innocent children and just because you can buy some data and type you call a professor "A dumb?"

When Nnamdi Kanu rose up, many Yoruba ppl wanted to do 'na me too' and awkwardly decided he was their freedom fighter without his consent. The man is a politician and is more comparable to Cubana Chief Priest (only without money).

An outsider from South East's opinion.

Politics › Re: ‘Your Influence In Nigeria, Africa Significant’ – Tinubu Praises Obasanjo At 89 by bayplus: 7:21am On Mar 05

President Bola Tinubu is only showing gratitude to Obasanjo for helping him to win 2023 presidential election.

Regardless of their past relationship, if not for Obasanjo and Doyin Okupe (May God Rest His Soul) Atiku/Obi presidency would have given PDP the "Comeback" to power as Buhari was not too keen on Tinubu becoming his successor then.

Obasanjo will do anything to prevent Atiku to get into power and he knew the combo of Atiku and Obi will leave Tinubu in the dust, especially with the tacit support of Buhari to a northern successor. It was strategic move to take out Peter Obi to go Solo and fragment the opposition and that eventually weakened the opposition.

Imagine if Atiku and Obi combined their votes. Your guess is as good as mine.

Tinubu has shown that strategy beats noisemaking.

Many xtians may not have voted massively for Atiku/Obi candidacy but the likelihood of defeating a disaster govt like Buhari was high then.

And for those who do not understand how the economy works, the consequences of yesterday's mismanagement by Jonathan and Buhari is what we are facing today, every enlightened and well informed Nigerian knew we were already bankcrupt when Buhari handed over. It was all packaged to kick the can down the road. The Buhari's finance minister cried out they were in serious financial crisis, Emiefele was printing money recklessly and you all want a thriving economy overnight?

Politics aside, we all know to destroy is easier than to build, I am no supporter of any political party.

My mission is to educate those who can reflect and the brainless will still insult. It is expected. But it will not change the fact. Those who think Obasanjo hates tinubu and APC should go check which party iyabo obasanjo is working for now.

Politicians should not be trusted. Only the gullibles take them serious.

Daguccizgreat:
What a shame. A disgraced country for a reason. Tinubu and Buhari will be remembered as men who destroyed Nigeria.

Is it not ironic?

Same Nigerians (Especially bittered ones amongst us) love to denigrate and call their only country they have "A Zoo" and when the rest of the world see how we ridicule our country and do the same through our passport and we still behave like an Ostrich.

When Nigerians will go to other countries illegally, involve in Drugs, Fraud etc. When many nigerians aid criminality in their daily lives, would you blame other countries avoiding our presence in their society?

Even when you admonish some of them to stay away from activities that will damage Nigeria's reputation abroad, they are quick to tell us to mind our business, as you were not the one who got the visa for them to travel.

Forgetting that whatever anyone carrying that passport does, it will hunt the over 200million of others.

The problem is Nigerians, may be because we are the most populated African country, we seem to have the good, the bad and the worst among us, and those worst ones are everywhere spoiling the image of the country for the rest of us sharing similar passport with them.

These criminal elements are in every majority or minority tribes. So no tribe is immune to this characters.

Most of these other countries do not even apply for foreign visas.

It is these same nigerians that will go and apply for visa in other west Africa countries when the appointmentdate from the embassiesin Nigeria are too far

Until we look in the mirror and amend our ways, we may continue having this image challenge.

Those who want to traffic drugs, human traficckers, Yahoo guys etc should remember that your negative actions and inactions will come to hunt the entire country including generations yet unborn.

When we are all ready to be a good ambassador of our country, we will rank among the best not only in Africa but in the world.

Integrity is the issue here. Some people including the writer says they guys lost their job because of 20k.

Please bear in mind, the smartest of criminals will always get caught, however long it takes. A criminal is one mistake away from being caught. Crime doesn't pay.

Secondly, they didn't lose their job because of 20k, they lost it because they lack trust and integrity, such may even arrange for the bank to be robbed.

They must have been doing it before they eventually got nabbed.

It may seem insignificant now but gradually the Southwest is beginning to lose its edge that Awolowo bestowed on the region with regards to education. The heroes their youth worship on social media are the ones without an education. In its place, there's beginning to be a proliferation and tacit support for Internet fraud, prostitution, thuggery, forceful begging and other vices. It's time for self introspection and a hard reset.

I bet to disagree.

You cannot have any society with 100% compliance.

The likes of Peller have been around for ages, he may not have been academically gifted. If not for social media, his likes will end up being an artisan. Which not bad. But thank God for Social Media.

If you check JAMB and university admission intake every year, you will still see a growing trend in the south west in terms of numbers. I am not talking about the highest score student oh. Because comprehension is a challenge for some bigots.

Southwest is also the headquarters of Artisans, Auto technicians, Electricians. Etc, if you go to any part of Nigeria, especially in the nothern region, and even as far as Abidjan, you will realise majority of the Auto technicians are from Southwest.

You need the combination of academic and technical skills to build a nation.

Back to Peller, those who think education is a scam because they have made some quick and unsustainable incomem mostly through social media will soon learn their lessons down the line. Like the bible say "A fool and his money, will soon depart each other".

Politics › Re: Sachet Alcohol Ban Threatens Five Million Jobs, Distillers Warn NAFDAC by bayplus: 8:14am On Jan 24

bunmioguns:
This is a very tricky situation for the country right now.

On one hand, you have to look at the economic implications. At a time when the cost of living is high and companies are already leaving Nigeria, shutting down an entire sector that employs over 5 million people (directly and indirectly) could be devastating.

These unions have a point, massive job losses usually lead to increased insecurity.

On the other hand, we can't ignore why NAFDAC and the Senate are pushing for this. The 'sachet culture' has made hard liquor too affordable and accessible to minors and even school children. The environmental impact of these small plastics is also a major issue.

The middle ground should probably be stricter regulation and enforcement of age limits rather than an outright ban that kills local industries.

If they can regulate big bottles, they should find a way to monitor the distribution of these smaller ones without throwing millions of people into the labor market.

Both the government and the distillers need to sit down and find a compromise that protects both jobs and public health.

The outright ban is the most efficient and effective solution.

How do you regulate distribution? How do you monitor how many kids can access it? The entire Civil servants in both federal and all the states in Nigeria including police and army will not be sufficient to monitor the distribution.

There is no 5million jobs to protect anywhere. It is a lie. Before the advent of sachet liquor, all these companies were in existence. Their major consumers now are the secondary school students and bus drivers while on steering.

To allow these enemy of progress is to destroy the future of innocent children just because some few shameless people who obviously have alternative sizes to produce want to make bigger profits at the expense of the lives of our children and passengers who may become endangered when the drivers are high on Alomo.

We want business to thrive, we need value added businesses not destructive ones like drugs wrapped in the name of sachet drinks. I think NDLEA should even go after all these manufacturers of these destructive substances.

I ask, what are the benefits of consuming these sachet drinks?

Imagine the audacity to protest the ban of a particular size affecting the minors! Do these people have children at all.

May be Yahoo Boys, Ritualists, kidnappers, Armed Robbers, Bandits and Suicide Bombers too will soon carry placards to protest the military attacks will destroy 50million jobs!

Of what economic benefits are jobs that destroy the lives of millions. Drug pushers can justify their activities too based on how many jobs they can provide.

This is arrant nonsense and those guys who went for the protest should bury their heads in shame because they would not want their children to be part of the victims.

sirray001:
how do you decongest Lagos? Let Federal characters be felt in other zones such as seaports, International Airports, Embassies, Multinational companies and Lagos will automatically be decongested.

Not sure the above recommendations will suffice to decongest lagos.

Those who are old enough to know the lagos before the federal government relocated to Abuja will tell you, nothing significant has changes and it is the same all over the world.From Indian, to Brazil, to South Africa and so on, Beijing has not stopped the growth of Shanghai. New York is equally congested.

The common traits is that, humans prefer to gravitate towards an already developed environment than to be part of the suffering communities waiting for power,roads, and other infrastructures to pass through their communities.

Quality of life is the driving force.

And you will see that for every single family moving out of the city, another 5 or more are demanding for a space to stay in the same city.

The solution is affordable and reliable efficient inter-modal transportation. That will include by water, by road (Mass transit not Danfo) and by good quality, medium speed trains.

A right thinking state like lagos can achieve that seamlessly if they will adopt private public partnership. Imagine if Lagos and Ogun state collaborate with private capital to build rail tracks and coaches from Ogijo to Marina, from Ifo-idi-iroko Shango-ota to Marina and this rail lines can get to marina in 30mins.

And another one from Ibadan to Ojota in 40mins.

You will be amazed how many people will prefer to live in Ogun or oyo state.

And private capital will be deployed under build, own and transfer back to government after 30 or 35yrs as it is done in other climes.

But we rather borrow money we cannot pay back from China and build rail track to Niger republic for political reasons instead of economic.

When we have good and efficient transport network, people would move on their own.

But the current structure where states and federal wants to fund everything through reckless borrowing because of corruption. Will keep us at the same level.

abhosts:
Hype and propaganda party. It is almost 3 years since they took over from Buhari yet nothing has improved regarding the issuance of passports.

That's a fat lie!

I am no fan of APC, but I have applied, paid and booked physical capturing appointments all done online for myself, family and friends too. And all received their passports without paying anything extra.

The truth of the matter is, many immigration officers who have built their lives around bribes are frustrating the efforts in-house. If you go to their office to capture, they will ask you "who is handling your job?", if You claim nobody. They will ask you to check back in 3months but if you mention a staff, they will ask you to check back in two weeks.

Often times, these passports are ready but out of greed and deliberate means to frustrate those Nigerians who prefer not to bribe.

So we cannot blame govt for everything otherwise we will be seen as "brainless critics".

Most problems we face in Nigeria are largely created by Nigerians to exploit fellow and innocent Nigerians and yet they turn around to blame govt.

I won't be surprised if we have kidnappers, bandits and terrorists here who are part of those criticizing the govt over insecurity.

We do not realise how our individual greeds creates national disaster for everyone of us.

Quest7777:
🤔
Still can't justify the rationale behind this very expensive Coastal Highway, when we can use a little fraction of the money to maintain the already existing roads linking Lagos to Calabar.

In as much as I am no fan of PBAT.

Let me give you an insight.

Those who argue that we should focus on the repair of the existing road network fail to realize that as we move everything by road, the existing road network will keep deteriorating faster within months of repairs. 1) Most of our road networks were poorly constructed abinitio,, you can see some of the roads already going bad before commisioning and the resources to fully re-construct them with quality materials is no longer available. Besides it makes more sense to decentralize the roads with new ones through a different routes.

Every truck going from 35states and Abuja from lagos must pass through Lagos -Ibadan Expressway way. No other road Corridor. And for nearly 50yrs. It has been the same.

How long can over-used road last? Especially with petroleum tankers frequent explosion leaving many of the roads in ruins.

While it is ok to repair the existing roads, we need to open new roads so the existing ones will not be over-used.

Imagine if those going through Many towns and villages along Lagos -Calabar highway and Badagry-Sokoto high way will boycott Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and use the alternatives being constructed.

This will free up traffic and make the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway last longer.

Just imagine a family of 10 using one car, the driver will drop the husband to work, come back and take the wife also to work in a different direction, take 3 of the children to different school. Go back to to the wife to take her to Balogun market for shopping, go back and take each of the kids back home, do same.for the husband and when the driver complain the car is over-used and it is rapidly developing faults and the family needs to get additional car, everyone thinks fixing the fault is all that is required, forgetting that over-use will automatically shorten the life-span.

Have you wondered why commercial vehicle engines do not last as much as private ones?

My point here is.

Lagos -Ibadan Expressway was constructed in the 70's. About 50years ago , like most roads in Nigeria, when the population of Nigeria was about 60million, a truly developing country must add additional roads infrastructure to the existing ones every year.

It is myopic to assume that the construction of additional roads is unimportant for economic development of our country.

If anything, development of any town is usually followed after the road is opened.

I can understand opposition politicians condemning it because they see it as a plus or legacy for the incumbent and it is in their interest to condemn everything and anything so the people will have no reason to vote the incumbent.

But for discerning Nigerians, as many roads as the politicians are willing to contruct should be a welcome idea because if they do not use the money now, it may end up being stolen.

If Badagry to Sokoto highway or Lagos Calabar highway is abandoned now, there is no guarantee the money will be used for what some people consider "more important "

Therefore, is it not better to have these additional roads constructed to free up the over-used state of the existing roads?

May be certain tribe is more prominently featured in most of these crimes, but no single tribe is full of angels or demons. Every tribe also have the bad too.

The only problem I have is that, we will all get punished for the crimes committed by anyone carrying the green passport.

When you are abroad and you noticed some of these concerning activities of our brothers and sisters and you attempt to show them the danger those activities pose to our collective image, they are quick to tell you to "mind your own business ". That you were not responsible for their Visas and Tickets.

However we all get collectively punished one way or the other as a consequence.

Many countries are very critical of Nigerians based in all these feedbacks from their home government to tighten visa approval and put so many obstacles and conditions to the granting of Visa, just to sieve out the multitude of criminals looking for greener locations to expand their illegal and criminal business.

We condemn our government but we do the worst in our private lives.

We hate abide by the rules in Nigeria and we still wouldn't want to be a law abiding immigrants in other countries.

It is time for all of us to reflect and realise our individual and collective actions over the years brought Nigeria to what it is.

And if we want a truly better Nigeria, we all must be ready to protect and Nurture it. Tinubu, Obi, Atiku etc will come and go, Nigeria will become good or bad based on the activities of the 220million Nigerians not one man in Aso rock. Or 36 governors in the states.

Tinubu appointed a Northerner to show he is committed to a free and fair elections and he is not afraid of anything.

I can only laugh at this comment above.

Now, the story has changed to he is appointing Northern Yorubas.

Romance › Re: If You Can’t Tolerate Them, Don’t Marry Them by bayplus: 2:46pm On Oct 08, 2025

Dpsychologist:
Marriage isn’t a battlefield. It’s not a place to test how much pain, anger, or revenge a human heart can endure. Yet, every other week, we wake up to horrifying news — a wife who poisoned her husband, a husband who beat his wife to death, or couples who set each other ablaze in moments of rage.

Recently there is a news of a woman who is alleged to have set her husband ablaze after an argument. Whether this is later confirmed to be true or not, a life has been lost.

No matter the offence, no one deserves to die in the name of marriage. If a partner becomes unbearable, walk away. Separation — though painful — is always better than a prison sentence or a graveyard visit.

We must start telling ourselves the truth:
👉 If you can’t tolerate his attitude, don’t marry him.
👉 If you can’t respect her when she’s angry, don’t marry her.
👉 If you can’t handle the storms of communication, ego, or financial strain, stay single until you can.

Marriage doesn’t fix temperaments — it exposes them. Love alone isn’t enough; patience, emotional maturity, forgiveness, and self-control are the silent pillars that keep a home standing when love starts to wobble.

Too many people are getting married for the wrong reasons — pressure, loneliness, lust, or societal expectations. Then when reality hits, frustration replaces affection, and resentment breeds violence.

Let’s normalize choosing peace over pretense. It’s not weakness to walk away from what drains you. It’s strength.

So please — before you say “I do,” ask yourself:

>“Can I truly live with this person’s flaws without turning into a monster myself?”

If the honest answer is no, then don’t do it. It’s better to be single and sane than married and murderous.

What do you think — is intolerance or poor emotional management the bigger cause of domestic violence today?

:
👉 If you can’t tolerate his attitude, don’t marry him.
👉 If you can’t respect her when she’s angry, don’t marry her.

The two recommendations above is inconsistent.

You advise that if a woman cannot tolerate a man's attitude, she should not marry him. Right?

But your second sentence speaks volumes.

But for the man

If you cannot respect her when she is angry, do not marry her. How do you respect an angry woman who cannot control her anger.

I expected you to point out that if she cannot manage her anger, walk away from her.

May be Lt Samason Haruna died because he was trying to "respect her anger" and she took it to another level while he was asleep.

This is why sometimes you need madness to cure madness.

If you allow people with poor anger management to run wild without any resistance, they go haywire. This is the result.

Imagine if it was the man who did this.

The whole women civil organizations and feminist world would have descended on the man.

Ezmans:
the man is a poor man adenuga, alhahji rasak and other rich men there can't do that, I say one poor Yoruba woman answering ma ma ma 200 times when making calls with kneeling down

You obviously do not know Yoruba Culture. Mike Adenuga has postrated many times for Awujale. Google is your friend. Even Former President Obasanjo, who is arguably one of the most prominent and successful yoruba leader still alive has prostrated for the new Olubadan and many more Kings including Olu of Warri.

It is a symbol we carried all over the world. Even Yorubas born abroad are taught about this culture. Anthony Joshua is known to do it for elders. We may have a handful of Yorubas who do not find it ok. But majority omoluabis will gladly so it anywhere anytime with pleasure.

If you think it is only for the poor, think again.

If it is strange to you, we cannot help you.

maberry:
This country is bad on every level
Every day I am convinced all over again that there is no hope for redemption

This is what we talk about. Running down our dear country ourselves. Especially now in the social media.

You and i are directly or indirectly part of the problem.

The members of Nigerian Police Force are are from every religion and every part of Nigeria.

The politicians are all from all religious and tribal divides.

The Civil Servants are part of the society. The man who sells fake spare parts, drugs, yahoo, ritual killing, bandits are all largely Nigerians, some of them are on nairaland criticizing govt and others but they are Saint.

This "We" Vs "They" is why we remain undeveloped. Everyone thinks it is ok once they are fine. "Me, myself and I" mentality.

We see what is wrong with other tribes, regions and religions but we are perfect. The rest are the problem not us.

When we all decide to change for the better and A yoruba man will see an igbo or hausa/fulani, Ijaw etc as his true brother and will do everythingto protect him, includingnot selling fake products, kidnapping etc to hurt him, Nigeria will be much better, not much that any govt can do for a people determined to hate on each other, no true Nigerian benefits from the destruction of this country except the politicians and the foreigners who exploit our divisions to cart away our resources.

And ask many abroad, how much progress they have made struggling out there. Less than 20% have good stories to tell about life abroad.

Many will gladly return home if things were slightly better and some are already coming back home.

Some of us are doing our bits to make the country a better place for our future generations.

Be the change you want to see.

No single or multitude of politicians can change the country without us all ready to change. It is the job of the 230m Nigerians to fix the problems not one old man.

Politics › Re: Ndidi Edeoghon Disputes Tinubu's Claim Of "No Corruption In Nigeria" With Data by bayplus: 1:56pm On Aug 30, 2025

Leboska:
It's funny how corruption itself is saying corruption doesn't exist again in Nigeria why he, himself whom is the epitome of corruption is the presidiot.

Nigerians are the major problem of the Nigeria. When we de-market our country for political gains and to make our preferred candidate look better as an alternative which may or may not be true, we are all going to suffer from it.

I am no fan of Tinubu, but we need to make the distinction between hating a particular president and destroying the image of our country to feel better.

Most of these politicians have two passports, three passports, the regular passport that you and I use while we travel, the diplomatic passport, while in office and the 2nd citizen passport of respected western world like US, UK, Canada etc.

The first passport, which is regular is the only one that gets destroyed when we run our country down.

No country in the world is free of corruption because it lives in human greed which an average nigerian has in abundant.

No president on earth can single handedly fight corruption. And it is naive for anyone to believe a president how well intentioned he may be, can reduce or eliminate it with a wave of hand.

When we are rubbished with our passport outside the country, we complain to high heavens but we forget that everything we say about our country on the social media is read by global audience and the ripple effects lives far beyond our comprehension.

Nigeria is a beautiful country, and in my lifetime, it will be a country the world wants to visit and apply its citizen.

It may shock you to know that as bad as some ignorant nigerians paint Nigeria, Chinese, Lebanese, indians, Europeans and Americans citizens are applying to be Nigerian citizens.

With all our challenges, life is still much easier here than in most part of the world, even better than our neighboring countries.

Yes we do not have steady electricity but cost of living outside is crazier!

Corruption is a societal thing. 98% of those commenting here probably have been involves in one form of corruption or the other either as a giver or receiver. It is rampant these days, it dis not start yesterday and it will not end today.

In most private and govt institutions, you will not get paid if some people do not get a cut. Ordinary gateman, will frustrate you with excessive greetings just to get money off you.

Sitting behind the keyboard to put everything on Tinubu is unfair, he may not be doing enough but we all need to change our orientation about materials wealth, especially with the Gen Z generation of now now, no patience, no dignity in labour, no value addition, just want money at all cost.

Greed is the root of the corruption in Nigeria. And it speaks to all of us. Nigeria is made up of 230million Nigerians and whatever the 230million people do will affect our image, regardless of who is the president.

Let us be the change we want to see in our country. Peace!!

Useless betting platform!!! I hear sey person chop 38million, Na so dem no gree the guy withdraw the money. Dem still con delete the guy betting history. If nor be sey the guy don screen record all his bet history.

Awon Ole

In a sane environment, these betting companies will not exist. They are destroyers of lives, especially of youths. Hardly can you open any site without their adverts. The proliferation is terrible.

For the sake of nigeria's future (which are the youths), government needs to ban these betting companies or set a very difficult standard for them and no one below 30yrs must be allowed to play. This betting madness is a time-bomb, needs to be check-mated

rinzaugustine:
Imagine using EFCC to intimidate a legitimate investor out of a company and tomorrow you will be expecting international investors in a country where EFCC and courts are compromised under a presidents watch…de play ….these people have destroyed every good thing about Nigeria within a short time and still continues

Do you really understand what is going on with Otudeko and first bank at all? Your comment confirms your ignorance.

But for God, Otedola and federal govt, First Bank would have gone the way of Savannah Bank due to insiders abuse. Those of you with 40k in your account will still be the one to rant online for govt not protecting your deposit. Otudeko is selling off to pay the humongus debts that nearly brought first bank to its knees, just like Union Bank and politicians refuse to pay. He has been forced to pay despite being a fellow Yoruba.

You can blame emilokan for everything but Otudeko could not escape like Ifeanyi Uba did to Fidelity bank.

Research before you make comments. Investors my foot!!

Why are you all attacking him for his opinion.

If America is your Eldorado, heaven on earth, no one is stopping you to go Over there if you can afford it and the embassy approves your visa.

Mind you, not everyone is interested in Japa, much less to America. Homeless people are in their thousands if not in millions.

So no country is perfect, every country have their peculiarities.

Let us not gag other people because of their opinions. It is ok to see things from different perspectives

Politics › Re: Governor Mutfwang’s Defection Plot Splits Plateau APC Ahead Of 2027 Elections by bayplus: 8:53am On Jun 10, 2025

dalongjnr:
The performing governor of plateau state is not moving anywhere.
He have turned plateau state into a construction 🚧 site.
Workers are smiling, farmers are smiling as they where given fertiliser and other farm imput/implements. pensioners are smiling, as they are paid their pension as and when due,and
about 20 years of gratuity backlog almost cleared. families of deceased civil servants are smiling as he's paying death benefits.
The rate at which he's quietly 🤫 commissioning strategic projects is satisfying.
He recently approved another 17 new ones(projects) and work is going on at a very fast pace.
What he has done ✔️ in 2 years, Simon lalong didn't do in 8 years.
I mean everything I said.
The legacy projects which are a signature white elephant projects, where abandoned by lalong himself after spending about 38 billion naira without something to show for it.
Lalong really messed up the state in his second tenure.
This man(mutfwang) came and started with construction and palliative of township roads and fixed all abandoned and new strategic road networks and slowly going into the villages.
Now the LGCs are now having their share of construction of rural roads at a massive level.
At the rate at which he's going,any candidate present by the APC will lose the election before 10 AM.

All these projects are now possible because the state are getting three times more allocation from federation Account because of the Fuel Subsidy removal and Forex Unification.

Many forget so soon, up till 2yrs ago, from 2010/2011, many states were practically bankrupt.. They could not pay salaries, much less embark on capital projects, pensioners were not even paid a dime for years. Because there was simply no money coming to share and these states couldn't generate reasonable revenue internally.

Even though the masses are suffering as a consequence of these Fuel subsidy and floating of naira, the governors have been the major beneficiaries.

So, many of them are defecting because they know that joining the ruling party will get them closer to Aso Rock.

The truth may be bitter, many who do not want them to defect will still complain if they do not construct roads, hospitals, and so on.

It is like a wife, who is complaining that her husband work too much and doesn't give much time for the family, if the man stays at home and give her the 24hrs, she will complain he is not giving her enough money again, and you need the same time she wants to make the money she also wants.

Until you become a governor, you may never know what you can do.

Too many moral police on social media, they know and judge everyone else but themselves.
