berem: I don't know where you're watching the programme. Did you hear Tinubu's name mentioned?

Even my son has just called dad dad that result that Uba has won the debate hand down..

Tinibu is gonna ruin Anambra just like he is ruining APC states. Its easier for Kenyan to win the upcoming election than the Yorobar Party APC..

berem: The godfathers are afraid of me now. I have beheaded them. They are not around me- Ngige

berem: Chino, you need to give us explanation why Obiano is not present.

Nnewi1stSon: 'Technocrat' that doesnt know what 'immunity clause is'? Something even my younger sister in SS2 will answer with ease.
I'd rather have an Almajiri from the north as my Governor, than have that confused,bleached out educated illiterate @ the helm of affairs of my State.

Nnewi1stSon:
chino hope you dont mind, if i call you an 'Oluku'?
If Obi likes let him commision another statue of Liberty in Anambra. That wont hinder Ngige's Landslide in a week's time.

Afam4eva: Those roads are not new.
