Habaa..what happened, she looks far older than her age(54)

Dino Melaye, spokesperson of the Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign organisation, in an interview on Channels Television, made claims about late Gani Fawehinmi’s 2003 presidential votes.

On August 12, Melaye was a guest on Politics Today, a live interview programme on Channels television.

While responding to questions on the increasing popularity of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour party, and the political consciousness among the ‘Obidient’ movement, the former senator referred to Obi’s social media popularity as euphoria.

Melaye further compared Obi’s popularity to that of Gani Fawehinmi, the late human rights lawyer, who contested and lost the 2003 presidential election.

"Gani Fawehinmi once ran for the president of this country. Facebook went agog, at the end of the day, he got 1,400 votes,” Melaye said.

TheCable checked the veracity of the claim that Facebook went agog as a result of Gani Fawehinmi’s candidacy in the 2003 presidential election, and if he truly gathered one thousand, four hundred votes only.

An internet search revealed that Facebook, now Meta was founded in February 2004.

The social network platform was founded by Mark Zuckerberg while he was a student at Harvard University. With nearly three billion users as of 2021, Facebook is the largest social network in the world.

According to ElectionGuide, an online platform with a comprehensive database for elections across the world, Fawehinmi scored 161,333 votes in the 2003 presidential election, while the eventual winner, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, polled 24,456,140 votes.


Verdict

Both claims are false. Facebook was founded in 2004 and the only presidential election Gani Fawehinmi contested in was that of 2003, where he had 161,300 votes.

Blackfire:
North 2023

Just because 20 nuisances in calabar join to disturb the street doesn't mean that structure less party and Peter obi will get 10 million votes nation wide


Don't waste your vote

10 million votes
I though you people said he won't get 1 thousand...
If Obi gets 10 million votes, then he has won.

In that their poultry house?

A Zambian man identified as Martin Stampa reportedly collapsed after discovering his wife is his “landlord.”

Local news platforms reported that Stampa lived in the house for 15 years, and was paying 3500 kwacha every month. It was also gathered that his wife was the one who always took the rent to his “landlord.”

However an altercation ensued after the lady identified as Lushomo discovered that her husband was having an extramarital affair. Martin reportedly told his wife that he got a side chick because he wanted someone who was intelligent and engages in smart conversations.

This riled Lushomo, who ended up spilling the beans and telling Martin that he’s not intelligent enough as he has been paying her a monthly rent because the house they live in belongs to her.

On seeing the house’s title deeds, Martin lost consciousness and collapsed. People had to drench him with bucketfuls of water to wake him up.

If all these people are out without any financial inducement, then we're are really going somewhere.

Sajanis:
Only I can see there bro is the mention of security paper, with no details of the content Op. Please what are the papers for exactly ?

Note your Leader has done worst security related crimes yet their still Walking the Nigerian street free, their their supporters chanting their Names for.

Argue with the current state of Security in the Country Today.

As we speak right Now, Bandits has taken over the Abuja Airport Road in Federal capital territory. Forcing all motorists toake a Uturn

Please, when next mention is made of leaders, don't count the ones in your country. Trump made it clear that the traits exhibited by the FBI can only take place in countries like Nigeria (broken 3rd world countries)

Emekaonline:

Forex trading is different. Calm down, Learn and practice. Have a trading plan.

Bro, I have done both. They are both gambling. I am still into it.

Infact I make more money in soccer trading than forex.

decryptofx:
Why didn't he use it in trading Forex. 200k Forex account can give him at least 15k daily.

Forex trading and gambling are one and same thing. It all boils down to your risk management.

There is something I am not understanding.

Is house wife an occupation?

Is it a blank cheque?

I did not read it because THE NATION is owned by Tinubu

Qtrpst4:
This thing pain you oh.
Jealousy dey kill

I pity you bro.
I also freelance on Upwork, a top rated one for that matter. I don't take up any job that is less than $500.

The truth remains, whether you earn in dollars or in Naira, no one is immuned to the adverse effects of the fall in Naira.
The only thing is that the effect would be a bit mitigated for those that earn in dollars.

Thanks!

Obi Yusful

I never knew being a house wife is an occupation.

See as they are analysing Atikus interview...
Nobody faulted the claims of Obi in his interview.

Hmmm

Point me gun, u nor believe that meat is 3k, Oil 4k....

Make una lie small small naw

Let's see how many Tinubu and Atiku could pull without paying a dime to the people.

n3xt:
I do not really have much in my account when I started building. I was waiting till I muster enough fund to take the house to an appreciable level at once.

My mum asked me to borrow her N70k for her business and I did. The next thing she called to follow her to the site and I found out she has already gotten 500 pcs of blocks and 10 bags of cement. That was how we started.

She told me “You start by starting. Do all you can before your children start growing.” 1 started a year into my marriage and moved-in the next year.

I was considering starting when I have about 50% of the required fund.

My brother, this your story.
