Be deceiving yourself. Na recruit dey become DIG?

When other zones had candidates for DIG position, South East didn't have anybody. They had to carry Frank Mba CP to become AIG in order to become eligible as DIG.

Now, some zones have produced 4 successive DIGs, only Frank Mba is there as DIG.
Your loss. Deal with it.

As matter of fact 95% of women want to leave their marriages.
Things are really happening in marriage/relationships that i just don’t want to say it out. What Nigerian men are using our eyes to see. eh! hmmmm!

All what men want is sex!! After sex, they treat you like trash! Some men would even beat and rape their wife and tell her to her face that there’s nothing like rape in marriage. . Bunch of sickos!!

The honest truth is, there’s nothing a man can bring to my life that I can’t get myself. I enjoy my own company and I don’t feel the need or want to get married. I don’t think it will add anything to my life at all.

I got out of two long term back-to-back abusive relationships in 2020 and have pretty much sworn off men. I don’t need a man to make me happy and I will continue to hate men!

Trying to stay relevant

If it weren't the case, he would have quietly made the donation without the fanfare and publicity.

Guy man knows how to press his gullible followers mumu button. I can see them up there already canonising him to be the best thing to happen after the God they serve.. Very gullible and forgetful fellows

Who else has noticed Obi only donated in the east

Who is clean among all of them? Nobody that has ever tasted power in this country is clean. They are all thieves. The only thing that infuriated me is how some people are trying to paint Peter Obi as a saint and messiah. Nigeria will only be better when the masses wake up to see that these people are all evils and mean no well for this country
