Just thinking aloud...













If we have this kind of prison in Nigeria, crime rate will increase, ask me how!







Those guys sleeping under the bridge will see it as a conducive environment and a home plus 3 square meal daily. After serving their jail term before you know it they are back again.





I am saying this because I believe we know how messed up things are in this country. Let's keep praying for our dear nation for us to overcome this great challenge we are faced with.

Hello NL,
Please my people, I need your candid advice on the subject matter. I want to find out if 2million naira can start and finish a 2 or 3 bedroom flat. The purchase of land is not included. Please I need a very sincere feedback, thank you.

Zendinho:
APC has repeatedly displayed their character as extremely selfish, deceitful, untrustworthy and unreliable. Their only goal is to get to the top, stay at the top, ruin or wreck whatever they finds there or in the event of failure, collapse the system or process.
“Nigerians have had enough of APC’s retrogressive and disruptive style of politics and deserve no more.

Plagiarism those words were used for Saraki

In the image below you will find the 2019 INEC breakdown of their budget.

What do you think of this?

You didn’t need to know any Senator, House of Representatives member or powerful politician before you are enlisted.

Let them start paying 100K and above and you will understand that you'll need to know the president himself before you are enlisted.

Angry bird all the way!

This goes to our ladies, lets learn from the image below and make amends.

Congratulations bro

Unongo said Sowore has to work very hard to fulfill his aim of claiming the presidency in 2019 because the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari who is seeking re-election already had 12 million votes in the bank.

...well if you ask me, out of the 12million in the bank, 10million had been withdrawn consciously or unconsciously. You can do the calculation and tell me the balance.

Thank you!
