Lol. I remember my cousin who won US visa lottery years back. He was coming from Wallgreens and the police pulled him over. They asked him, sir, what do you have inside your back pack and he said drugs and his laptop. . The officer said, I beg your pardon and he repeated what he said. Na so the police call his colleague, dragged him out and searched the car thoroughly. All the found inside his back pack was a mini laptop and an antacid, for indigestion They asked for the 3rd time and he said same thing. He was taken to their custody, His brother had to come over.

On getting to the station, he explained to him what happened and his brother was laughing loudly in front of the officers who were looking so stern at him. Firstly, he apologised that it's actually an antacid, a medication and it's called drugs in the British English which our curriculum was based on in Nigeria. Drugs in the US mean hard substances. They call what we know as drugs, medication in the US

Great opportunity for him. An automatic win. Kwakwansiya(meaning kwakwanso's loyalists, for those who don't know) owns Kano. Even the defecting governor knows

He should join NDC. What's he waiting for? Na Obi get rivers. Even the massively manipulated election result sheets in 2023 by wike were enough proof. Let's he how he'd do it this time and get away with it as minister. Rivers staged an unprecedented protest early this week against this wicked regime

The electoral law banning politicians from defecting to another party after losing primaries is a masterstroke. Once you lose primary, game over

I so much love it. Na that okada rider turned federal law maker on the platform of labour in kaduna dat pain me pass. He's the most foolish human being ever lived. What a great opportunity. He spent nothing to win. Where was the apc he defected to, while he riding okada under the scorching sun? Under apc, he wouldn't get ordinary wards chancellorship endorsement. He should return to his okada business.

This shows how greedy some Nigerians can be. Na because dem neva get there to rule ni. I so much love what's happening to them right now. How can you use a party platform to win only to dump that party due to flimsy excuses? Desmond is another opportunist who was endorsed by Mrs tinubu. With all you're making, all you could do was erect a plank bridge for your constituents. You needed to see the way he was bragging in 2023, calling every youth names. He should go back to Holly Wood and see if its easy to make money. That's why I didn't attack the oshodi isolo rep guy who sponsored 3 yoruba and 17 ibos to China. It's not as if he brought them from the east. These were the people who donated chairs, cars, fuel etc for his campaign while our people were shouting apc upandan on his contender in same constituency.

Nigerians should learn from this. Someone who's not even our tribe doing do much, what has Desmond done and im wondering why notify did the comparison. Myopic people everywhere

SmartPolician:
Reno Omokri, nobody gives a damn about what you think anymore. I'm just so mad at a country where people who have zero rectitude make decisions for over 200 million people and decide how other 8 billion in the world see Nigerians

Really sad brother. Nigeria's name is something else outside. When you say your'e from Nigeria, the first thing that comes to mind is boko haram, followed by corruption and drugs.

The news of that man beheaded in ogbomoso by boko haram had circulated around the globe before Nigerians heard about it. The press had taken sides with our corrupt leaders. We used to be a decent country where westerners would come and enrol their children here. They lived there for decades and chose Jos and Lagos as their abode. They've all gone and sold their properties. Our leaders, including the current president contributed to the mess we're in today, from picking buhari to rule us due to his selfish ambition, sponsoring massive protests against a progressive government. If a leader wasn't doing well, why not go to aso vila and help him to correct things, in the best interests of your country and citizens ?They hate the masses so badly. I only pity those supporting them

Go to Indian school at ilupeju. It's become a shadow of itself due to fear if insecurity as foreigners are a soft target. If you don't know they kidnap people in Lagos, you just know today only that it will never make news headlines. If I had the opportunity of becoming president of Nigeria, a lot of media houses would be shut down permanently.

As expected. Eyes are clear now

Super greedy individuals. The same people who voted and jettisoned the apc candidate in 2023 will determine your fate and that of your fellows next year. Many of you will understand the meaning of betrayal of trust and loyalty

Congratulations my brother. Oluwa a woo

And that's a fact. Obi walks his talk. In late Buhari's words when he came to ayinke house at Lasuth to commission it after tinubu ran abroad ahead of time, NIGERIA IS BIGGER THAN ANY INDIVIDUAL. That statement will really make sense next year. Nigeria is too big than envisaged.

Yes, and we know who the foolish people are already. Tinubu that invited you and promised you a juicy position for 2nd term, including VP slot but you refused. Same you they're saying is working for tinubu . Apc and their lies are 5 and 6
Same people were drooling over what happened when you picked your NDC membership card and presented it openly. They said you snatched it from obi. Sir, pls don't be perturbed. We know what they're capable of doing

Menclothing1:
Stop this Yoruba is one you can vote any candidate Aregbe from Kogi rule Osun
Seyi from ogun ruled oyo kings from ife was send all over Yoruba land to rule

Anywhere in Yoruba land is your home to rule

No wahala.

BioData45:
Funsho is still better than GRV loose mouth. I really want a new party to take Lagos. Tinubu excesses is too much

Exactly. GRV was the reason i voted sanwoolu in 2023, not because I believed in the latter. GRV messed up big time. You cant abuse us and want our votes as usual. We're not cowards. Its Uncle Doh we want this time. We too can govern our state. No more strangers pls. Hamat should go to Ogun like Yayi did and contest there

Lagos is yours already, uncle Doh

He could be referring to MC Oluomo. But Jonathan caused it. Such a weak man. See people suffering as a result of your clueless. OBJ jailed almutsapha and nothing happened. You'd have released the likes of tinubu after your tenure and saved Nigeria from the mess we're in today. Tinubu shouldn't have been allowed to near that place.
We have the best of the best amongst us ,who could have ruled this nation well. Adesina of AfDB is one of them, same man who did so well under you as minister. That's a replica of the omoluabi we're known for, not a man with a highly controversial persona. Jonathan should just keep quiet 🤫

When we started the campaign against tinubu, they said we're ibo, we're omo ale as if we cant identify our father. Better late than never. You guys should bury your fear and shame and speak out against this evil regime. Tinubu has nothing to offer Nigerians but pain. When someone says its his turn, rather than fixing Nigeria and the mess his predecessor left behind, you shouldn't take such a person seriously.

Has anything improved now? That's what we've been facing in Lagos...lies upon lies.

Repost👇

I like this picture in your post but the one that caps it for me is the guy who defeated Elumelu under the people's labour mandate then went to stand on the APC's mandate after the election and got served 🤡

2023: LP (Okolie) defeats APC (Elumelu) at elections

2025: LP (Okolie) defects to APC

2025: APC (Elumelu) defeats APC (Okolie) at primaries

They say he was late to his own election. When they announced results at 4am and announce results from the top as consensus, e think say na joke.
😂😂😂😂

I hope the rest learn from this but I want more of it. APC, givedemwotowoto

These guys are so greedy and selfish. They're not ready to serve, only for their pocket. I'm loving what im seeing. NDC should be vigilant. They must not take them

NDC must not take them. They'd used the labour platform to contest and later dumped them. Serves them right

This is good. Instead of lavishing his wealth on trips to Monaco all the time. Dangote is really teaching them on wealth creation and how to sustain it. Given all the opportunities he had, otedola could have owned either power plants or a functional refinery today. He was so favoured just like dangote. I remember the otedola vessels, Ote1,Ote2 and Ote3 oil vessels. They've all disappeared today

Ofunaofu:
Why then did he decamp to APC

Like don see this man finish. He's never wike's March else, the barking dog would have been pushed aside by now. He should come to NDC now that it's still good cos once they impeach him, that's the end

Useless post like this will begin to fly around now, cos election is approaching just to cover up their mess but hey! It will never work.

What was the value of the naira while these strikes were taking place back then and now? Was it only salary the striking lecturers were asking for? I know of 3 vibrant lecturers in Unilorin who had left Nigeria for Canada this year alone. That's my alma mater.
How many lecturers are able to buy a car from their salary ? I knew of a lecturer who bought 2 cars without kickbacks or printing handouts. Can it happen now, with the so called salary? What's the condition of hostels and lecture theatres in the federal universities nationwide ?

A lot of myopic people often think that people prefer private universities because of strike lol. In private universities accommodation, infrastructure, facilities are so good. Its just like comparing public secondary schools with private schools. It's sad to note that our private universities made the best 1000 worldwide while only one public university did. UI used to be on the list of the best 100 in the world. What had happened ? It may not be Tinubu's fault but what had he done to improve on the ratings ?

Before anyone can rate this man, he should place lecturers on the salary equivalent of what they were earning during his predecessors' regime, but I doubt he will. They're earning far less now

HIGHESTPOPORI:
He is the best candidate and a Lagos indigene.

Say uncle Dooooooo. That's our own. Let's see how a stranger will hijack this. We will resist any oppression this time. Uncle Doherty isn't Williams. May his soul rest in peace. Im attending the next indigene's meeting this weekend and keep you guys posted. Imole dee, itesiwaju deeply

LagosOrigin:
Very good, we will liberate Lagos from "Baba sope" politics in 2027 election because Lagos belongs to all Yoruba sons and daughters in the state and not to one man and his family, bola tinubu.

We will vote for NDC from the top to bottom in 2027 and by the grace of Almighty Allah, we will win.

Tell them. Personally I voted sanwoolu in 2023 cos of the stress he put himself through and not because i liked apc. The guy grew lean sharp after their presidential candidate lost. Sadly, Gbolahan wasnt capable. He also bit the fingers that would have fed him. We yorubas hate insult and we can reprimand our children for that. Sadly sanwoolu became useless after winning 2nd term. It wont be the same situation again.

If you read my past posts about uncle Doherty, you'd know i had always been rooting for him all along. I'm very close to his allies. That's the next governor of Lagos. We too want to govern our state. We cant continue to be acting like strangers in our own state. May God protect him for us

Lobatan..the next governor of Lagos. We need to produce an indigene this time to govern our state. Its not negotiatable. Apc can wail all they want

Ola9ja23:
Day dreaming

You have aligned with failure therefore you are bound to fail


Watch how those people praising you today would call you a terrorist after 2027 election 😂🤣🤣

Kwakwanso is a amall god in Kano and major partd of the north. Kano vote alone will swallow what will come from 3 states of our region in the southwest. You should have wondered why his party defeated the apc being the ruling party in Kano. His party would have sent ganduje packing in 2019 if not for the 11th hour fraud and it was because late Buhari was involved in the mess and he's no more. After buhari in the north, Kwakwanso is next and im sure you saw that in the 2015 apc primaries in which he almost defeated buhari

DomPerignon:
So we should discard primaries ?

Its allowed in politics. Have you heard of a consensus candidacy before? If the system would be free and fair, Obi would not be looking for a clean platform to run. You and I know what is obtainable in the Nigerian politics

helinues:
Without conducting primary

Chai, the evening bloggers self...

The primary that's always bought over. A man of integrity must lead by example. Do you think obi is a poor man and doesn't have money to bribe his way through?Doing so will derail him from his agenda. Those of us who will vote him aren't going to collect a dime from anyone, neither are we going to induce voters with money or a bag of rice that will finish in one month and the collector will suffer for another 4 years. Things need to change . People are wiser now

Validated:
We wish NDC well abd also Peter Obi. If he wins, I expect thunderous jubilation across Nigeria.

It will be a wild jubilation nation wide and may the Almighty make it happen. The sentimentalists will wish they had voted him instead because of the massive development that will be in place during his term. To govern Nigeria isn't difficult, na the corrupt fellows dey make am hard. Obi will surely step on toes and he's well prepared for this else, Nigeria won't improve one bit

Adaisback:
fine sir and your family too ?

I'm good thanks daughter

Edoreborn:
Is Desmond really a yoruba man? If yes does he speak fluently?

Yes, I've heard him speak on TVC for up to 5 minutes when the chief host, Morayo Brown asked him to speak. He speaks yoruba so fluently. I was surprised and I wonder why he doesn't feel like speaking it in public. I think I responded to your similar question earlier.

SmartPolician:
The biggest challenge that Peter Obi has is northern Nigeria. If Nigeria was just about the states of the South, Peter Obi would be declared winner before noon on the election day.

That's left for Kwakwanso to tackle. He's well grounded in the north

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
I'm beginning to understand that marriage to Nigerian woman especially those from the South is overrated

Na everywhere joor. North is even worse. Google is your friend.

tiswell:
Rest, IGBOs has been on top of jamb highest score for many years now.
So what's the fuss?

Laughs. Check the trend. any year your people comes first, Ekiti will be either 2nd or 3rd. This is not the 1st time ekiti would also come first
