Former Arsenal forward Kanu who instituted the Kanu Heart Foundation Lauding Tinubu, particularly for his achievements in Lagos, Okocha said the former Lagos governor is the reason why he usually calls Lagos home.
Former Arsenal forward Kanu who instituted the Kanu Heart Foundation disclosed that the first seed money for that initiative was donated by Tinubu in 2002.
"Without that money, there wouldn't have been Kanu Foundation to perform the heart surgeries that have saved many lives," he said.
Taribo West prayed that Nigeria be blessed with more kind-hearted people like Tinubu while wishing him well in the presidential race. Mentioning their names one by one with their nicknames while playing for the country, Asiwaju Tinubu thanked them for their exploits on the field of play, for putting smiles on the faces of many and for helping to put Nigeria's name on the global map.
He said the former players gave Nigerians a sense of immense pride and a source of inspiration, particularly the young ones.
Tinubu said together the former players reflected the spirit of an unbreakable team.
He used the opportunity to seek the support of the players for his presidential ambition, saying he has a vision and the competence and ability to implement that vision.
Among the ex-Super Eagles that visited him were Julius Aghahowa, Victor Agali, Garba Lawal and Duke Udi.
The video of former governor of Anambra state Willie Obiano is trending online now, he's seen in the video drinking water.
Recall that WILLIE OBIANO was arrested by efcc on cases bordering mismanagement of state funds. Obiano tried running out of the country the day he handed over to his successor prof Charles soludo, however, luck ran out of him as he was apprehended by efcc operatives at the Murtala Muhammed airport Lagos.
Obiano's video is drawing criticism online, some claim that if you go to Efcc office right from the gate your mobile phone will be taken, they wondered how someone could use a mobile phone to take the video a high public office holder on boxers (short).
Many claim that Obiano's arrested is politically motivated, some believe that he will soon come out on health grounds as it's common to anyone facing trial in Nigeria, some also believe that his case will soon be struck out in court and he'll be free. What do you think of Obiano case?
Mrs Obiano. Doesn't matter if the latter got loose with her lips, the former chose violence on which she can actually face assault charges. Senator Oduah's position that the "shameful act" belongs to just one is a false narrative. They both could have done better. Trying to make a vilify one just to uplift the other makes no sense especially as an older woman who has played at the political table of the "big boys" in the capacity of Aviation minister and Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Caution them both for the uplifting of Anambra women and Nigerian women at large or stay neutral. This kind of politics

ebuka440: The greedy landlord of that nonsense hostel should be made to face the full wrath of the law. I still have my blames for the government who has failed to regulate the price of cement. Some landlords can be wicked and mean and only knows how to collect rent instead of to maintain the dungeon built by them in the name of hostel
