The gods have spoken. GEJ, PEJ and their cohorts must be probed and all our money returned back to us. And also they need some years of Vacation in Kiri kiri. All these People bringing in ethnic sentiments in this issue, I pray that God will leave all of your various families in the same situation GEJ is about to leave Nigeria. Ignorant foolish ethnic Bigots

This one before he turns 20 he will be Pablo Escobar of Kidnapping.

As far as am concerned, there is no difference between her who buys it and pours it in a bathtub and another that buys it to drink. How can sb spend N4,000,000 on a bottle of a fvcking drink.

I've gotten my own cut others can perish in the Lagoon for all i care.

RIP Soldier of Fortune. It's good news that you became a Soldier of Christ before you died.

Truth is bitter they say .PEJ did not insult the North ,she merely told them the bitter truth.That Ab0ki who wears white like a decorated corpse should just shut his wide mouth and go take care of all those helpless kids in the streets of Kano and tell all those like him to do the same thing in all the streets in the North.After that I'm sure Nigeria's problems will be at least 60% solved.

Our money! Our money!! Bold Faced Thieves.

So Anywhere where this Abok1 goes now, he will dress like Masquerade. This is suffering in disguise.

You have a long way to go in improving your fabu-telling skills. I recommend that you google : How to tell a good fabu.

P.S: Fabu means a phony story in Yoruba.

My friend I'm not one of those that tell sweet fabricated stories to get attention.Just telling my experience to still have a laugh over it.

Had such experience during my NYSC days .I was travelling from Onitsha to Niger State on a night journey.I was given a seat beside a very pretty lady,though I was not really into girls stuff but secretly i loved the arrangement.In the park i noticed that one sharp guy has already started toasting the girl and from what i was deducing, he was already trying to convince the girl to change seat and come and sit beside his seat which was still empty as of then .I was damned jealous wishing i will go and slap the guy and tell him to stop disturbing the lady .Well fortunately for me the girl declined the offer.As the Bus moved , before we could cross the River Niger bridge the girl was already feigning sleep and relaxing on my shoulder.I was like this girl can't be already asleep in a matter of 4 to 5 minutes,she must be faking it and sure this is going to be an easier job than i anticipated.As a sharp guy ,I just pretended to be also asleep and quietly started moving my hands towards her bossom ,then I noticed that she was enjoying the whole show. I sent my fingers to start work all over her body down to innermost as she continued moaning.The whole show continued for most part of the journey,it was an erotic journey. Later i noticed that the guy that toasted her at the park has noticed what was happening and was secretly fuming with jealousy becasue he was looking at me with bad eye when we stop midway through the journey to fill up gas.

Chei!! Tinubu to provide Minister of Finance,Petroleum,FCT,Works and Interior. SMH we have been conned again

All the nos are odd and the answer even.So there is no way you will add ''odd no of odd nos'' to get an even no

olaxco2f:
Irrespective of who wins Saturday's election we still won't have 6,000 megawatts of electricity by 2019.
There will still be at least 2 ASUU strikes before 2020, garri will still never be sold at 20naira per derica, ponmo will still be cheaper than beef, your landlord will not reduce his rent,
your salary will most likely remain the same for another couple of years, I will still have to pay for electricity that I'll never get to use, MC Oluomo will still control Oshodi, DSTV will not
reduce monthly subscription, MTN will not give you FREEBIES without hidden charges, the list is unending, but one thing is super certain, your
hustle will always put food on your table. Just vote, don't impose your opinions on us, GEJ is a Wolf, BUHARI is a Lion, even we sef we no be Sheep, we are a lawless lot. Irrespective of who wins, just give me PEACE cos I need to go out on Monday and get my daily food. God bless U as U vote!

My Guy i dey your back abeg!!!

Election gimmicks. Na today. Go to that power station, you will realise that it is just about 40 to 50% completed. GEJ stop deceiving your self, you can't change the mind of anybody who has made up his mind against you with this type of gimmick within a matter 4 days. Nigerians have already packaged your report card waiting for Saturday to give it you. I only wish the best for Nigeria.

As for me,i think people who don't believe in themselves are those who often use foreign pictures as their display pictures . I dont know about you?

DrAify:
Really tell me something

Tell you what! I've just fallen in love with you.What do I do?

If this is true then it is becoming obvious that this man is becoming senile due to old age or maybe Alzheimer's disease is setting in.I pray that this Country will not fall into the hands of another Mafians if this man is elected because of incapacited President

In my own church we are thought that if have to fast, then you are supposed to give cost of those food you didn't eat to the needy.

If you don't have money to eat then you have to join the rank of the needy so that people who are really fasting will help you out

Praise the lord!!!!!!!

Have you gotten a woman yet? You have to taste and check the difference only then can you decide.

I am not trying to push him back into sin/fornication, but going by his testimony he only stopped being guy but not a straight guy. In fact it's more like a celibate gay. What happens when he marries and find out he prefers chopping prick to punny

Na woman like me go suffer am ooo.

Obviously that is why so many people are so dumb especially on all those dumb testimonies in churches. Somebody is saying that he has learnt to abstain from sex and people are praising him for turning from gay to Straight.

They should have sold that long time ago. Every year billions will be budgeted to that crap and the Management of that Agency will steal everything without any meaningful input to this country. If that establishment stays in the hands of Government in the next 50yrs, it will still be the same thing. In places like US and other developed Countries Space race is being Championed by private investments.

It is becoming obvious that Buhari is a Secondary school drop out who found himself in the Nigerian Army through the back door and rose through the ranks because of Nepotism because his claim of academic qualifications were never verified. I'm now beginning to question his moral right to fight kworuption and Nepotism in this country.

Is madness that put food on his table, if he becomes normal now, na poverty be that.

Matthewbriggs:
If that is what you want your buhari has already told us he would not be doing that ... He is giving all the former thieves a clean bill of health and would not go after past corrupt leaders. The reason is not far fetched because If he wants to start hanging and and burning people he would burn all his friends, Infact 75% of those in APC would be cooling off in jail. He might even have to burn himself as well.

Nobody is asking GEJ to go back and prosecute anybody but to start now and hold anybody still stealing our common wealth but he is not doing that, instead he is giving them Presidential pardon and special blessing to go and enjoy their looted treasure.

Matthewbriggs:
According to Transparency international, Under Jonathan Nigerian in I year we went from 31th most corrupt country to 39th. 8steps forward

What happened? Was there actually a successful fight against corruption or did other countries just become more corrupt.
Well, this is what happened.

There are two sides to the fight. Prevention and punishment . while little has been seen regarding punishment, a lot has been done to prevent corruption. from strict banking rules, to transparent contract award and execution to more professional procurement processes and proper accounting processes. CBN, Ministry of finance and other government agencies have improved their processes to a good extent.
Is 39th most corrupt nation worth celebrating? Not at all. but Rome was not built in a day as they say.

The sad part is that all this means nothing to the Public. proper record keeping is no news. they want someone to be hanged. they want a 'big' man to be humiliated. the people want blood. and in this regard, the government gave them nothing. No politician in jail. no body to ridicule. So all the good behind the scene work has no political value. OBJ administration had terrible processes. Corruption was huge, but he gave the public the ''punishment'' they craved. Even if it was mainly visited on his political opponents, the people loved it.
This government has actually done a lot, but punishment is the only way to show you are fighting corruption. They simply did not ''show working'', thereby exposing itself to the accusation of tolerating corruption. Don't just work, be seen to be working. Its also called ''eye service''.

- A.C

He is also the first Nigerian president to grant complete independence to the EFCC.

Abeg Tell that to the birds. Proper record keeping my foot.. And the so called coordinating Minister of the Economy did not know that within 3yrs an equivalent of one yr budget has grown wings.. We want people to be hanged, if possible burned non sense.
