Well, to me he looks relaxed and happy. In Africa when you lose weight people think you're suffering instead of assuming you're exercising and healthy.
He looks like a guy who has retired young on a beach resort with all the money he has made.
Everyone with an interest in politics knows that Tinubu had a problem with Fashola towards the end of his first tenure and was trying to orchestrate his impeachment. Now the cycle is repeating itself. Is the state governor his employee that he can micromanage and dispose of at a whim because he is implementing policy that clashes with his personal interests? This governor work is not something that someone can do if somebody insists on telguiding him somewhere. While an executive is expected to listen to wise counsel, when push comes to shove he has to trust his own judgement and be decisive. His legacy will be how well he served the people not how well he protected the business interests of one man.
If Sanwo Olu wins the primaries tomorrow and manages to win the general elections, I see this scenario playing itself out again in the next 4 years. The job of a governor is not something someone can do if someone somewhere believes that you are an errand boy there to carry out his wishes.

gbosaa: You messed up your narration by saying that the burglars sprayed some gas when they came.
You must have been very tired and fell into deep sleep or you normally sleep like a log of wood with some loud snoring to facilitate that.
Even if the burglars tripped over and caused some crashing of pots and aluminium metals, you would’ve snored and snoozed away.
They sprayed nothing sir.
I feel sorry for you though. I’ve been a victim as well and the police actually assisted the guy.
They spray gas. Even the police confirmed that.
Sometime after I was robbed the robbers broke into the house beside mine. Over 8 people were in the house and the robbers ransacked all the wardrobes, opened suitcases, carried away tv sets and stole their mobiles right from beside all of them without any of them waking up.
BoneBlogger: A Nigerian man based in Cardiff, the capital city of Wales, has taken to social media to reveal his disappointment with the Nigeria Police force following a robbery at his house in Nkwerre, Imo state. In a lengthy piece posted on Wednesday, September 19th (yesterday), Chin Akano, revealed how some of the thieves who burgled his home are now free, no thanks to the police.
Read what Chin Akano shared on Facebook;
Nigeria is a finished country and i doubt if any president can save it. There are certain things i see as someone who lives where things are done properly and my heart bleeds profusely. Long RANT:
Late 2016 my home in Nkwerre was massively burgled by Hausa people in connivance with my Hausa security man and police were called in. Sadly police could not do anything. They could not do jack. They were interested in how to make money off my predicament. Out of frustration and not being around, i handed the matter to Nkwerre Vigilante who swung into action, found the criminals and took them to the police. I put pressure and police took them to court and they were remanded. DPO of the police station had to call me to send money to transport these criminals to Owerri from Nkwerre.
He told me they needed to hire a vehicle. I sent money. This DPO who has now been transferred away from Nkwerre did so much to deceive me. Each time i asked him the adjourned date for the case , he would tell me no date and a wrong date. I did not know who the IPO was , neither did i know who the prosecutor was. So what happened was that each time the case was called up, the complainant (me) or his representative was not in court. The magistrate was at the verge of striking out the case, if not that i decided to send someone to the court to find out the actual hearing date and appeared in person. Clearly this DPO was compromised and i would prove it to him, should the need arise.
Every aspect of the investigation, i parted with money. Each time a hearing is fixed, i have to give money to the court to send someone to Owerri to notify the prison authorities to bring the suspects to court. Sometimes i would send money to transport the hoodlums from Owerri prison to the Court in Nkwerre. If i did not give money, they will not appear in court and case will be adjourned.
Then these criminals were granted bail. These were Hausa boys who damaged my house terribly and carted away properties worth several millions of Naira. They were granted bail by a court and the guarantor (surety) was another hausa man whose address was not verrified by the court. The first accused who admitted participating in the crime and explained how they did it and where my properties were, was granted bail and his surety was a fulani herdsman i would say. Of course this man jumped bail and never returned and his name was struck out of the case. Before then the ring leader was never arrested because Noah was said to have ran to Sokoto and police wanted me to fund their journey to Sokoto to look for him. SMH.
The penultimate hearing, i had a serious altercation with the Magistrate who got so irate that she threatened to deal with me , if i did not stop disrespecting her court. Maybe she would have remanded me for contempt of her court. I told her that her court was non-diligent for granting a criminal who has accepted such a crime bail without ensuring that his surety is well known and address verified.
The Police man prosecuting the case for the police is a totally different matter. Very dishonest. When he was asked to look for the escaped suspect or his suerty, he asked me for money which i gave. He just diverted the money and did nothing. When i asked him about the surety, he said he did not find him and that he wandered all the nook and cranny of Anara in Mbano looking for the surety. Anara i asked, he said yes. Little did he know that i had found out that the surety's documented address was 5 minutes walk from his police station ( Okwu in Nkwerre) which is no where near where he said he was wandering about. So sad and pathetic. Heads must roll after this case. Surely.
Case is still progressing and anyone that is called to give his prosecution testimonies ( witness), I am asked to pay them. Now its the turn of the IPO to give his own account ( testimony). Prosecutor told me that i needed to pay the IPO before he would come. Meanwhile the police station is a minute walk from the court. I gave a few thousands reluctantly and after vehement protest. Next hearing, where is the IPO , i asked.
Prosecutor said that the person he thought was the IPO said he wasn't. This was the response of a trained police officer prosecuting a criminal offence of this magnitude. What then, i asked?. He said the actual IPO was on transfer and he would need to be signalled to come, also at my expense. If i insisted that they did the job they are being paid for, case will stall and be struck out. I had to part with money again.
Last last i decided to engage a lawyer to sit in for me and follow things through. The case is ongoing now as i type and i am in far away UK hoping that the witnesses paid appeared in court . In this UK, if you are a victim of crime, all you need do is report to police and they would work with you to prosecute. Victim will even get help and free professional counselling if necessary.
But back home, if you are a victim of crime and have no money, your case will die. I really weep for my country.
I have experienced exactly this myself. Thieves broke into my home while I was asleep (they sprayed some gas so I wouldn't wake up) and stole . In my case when I demanded to see the DPO who I believe would behave more professionally, he scolded me for not making an effort to familiarise myself with policemen in charge of my area and support them before the incident. Said their response would have been more effective.
At that point I had given the police almost N50k for various "logistical issues". It was deeply depressing that the people I had gone to for help after being robbed were the ones trying to extort me. I decided to save my money and use it to buy back my stolen items. I am sorry to say but I will never waste my time reporting any crime to the police again except I need a police report (which you also have to pay for) for insurance purposes. The police is not your friend.
Deji63: Were you there when he was making it clear from the beginning? Do you know whether he even said will you be the mother of my kids. Una no dey fear God unti una see una own downfall.
When he refused to acknowledge that the kid was his when she kept saying that he was. What was that?
The sooner everyone realizes that the FG has no power to “summon” a foreign envoy but may invite him for a chat, the sooner life will be easier for everyone. The National Assembly tried to Summon the US ambassador after some lawmakers were arrested for propositioning Hotel workers and he told them just that.
CodeTemplar: Hateful souls will always look for what to say to satisfy their destructive tendencies. The man has proven that he isn't running businesses but fulfilling God's purpose for his life.
God buys his suits and fuels his jet? Me I like this type of not running a business o. It’s would be nice to live off the labors of others.
When will people learn to stop buying gold or gold plated technology? In five years this phone will be obsolete. A good example are the gold Apple Watches that came out at launch.
MrBrownJay1: kkkkkkkkkkkk i dont know what is more funny, the fact that this dirty bastard goes around raping men OR that he has been doing this for a while but there has been NO REPORT of men being raped.
Well, if some guy broke into your house and had sex with you I'm sure you'd keep that story confidential too.
Nigeria Police just like unnecessary work. The woman is already in the hospital and they can easily verify whether she died of a cardiac arrest like the guy said or not instead of all this long story of transferring to homicide division to conduct investigation. Abi is it because the guy slept with a married woman? Adultery is not a criminal offence in Ogun State. If that is the case they should kuku arrest the woman's dead body too because it takes two to tango.
A renowned lawyer and former lawmaker from Ogoni in Rivers State, Senator Cyrus Nunieh is dead.
The sad event occurred after the 88 year old Elder statesman married a young lady identified as Rosemary Ijeoma last year which went viral on the internet.
Suanu's Blog recalls that the wedding took place at the Presidential Hotel in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
His former wife had died in 1991.
Speaking on why he decided to marry again at old age, Senator Nunieh had said; “I cannot continue to stay alone. I love her and she loves me. We understand each other and she is also intelligent. In marriage, there are advantages somewhere and disadvantages in other areas. “There is no limitation in age. Some may say you are old; you may soon die. But some were dead even before they were born. Some were one year or two years old and they die. Death is not always dependent upon a man’s age. “You know that rose is the best of all flowers and we have two Marys in the Bible; we have Mary, the mother of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. “She too (Rosemary) is a believer of the Bible. But why are you particular about her age? She is not an infant. She is a very charming woman.”
Unfortunately, death has cut him off from enjoying his new wife.
The late Senator until his death was the President of Bori State Movement.
It may interest you to know that Senator Nunieh was the first lawyer in Ogoniland.
