At exactly 12:00 am on Tuesday, the curtain opened. As a movie unfolds, so we entered 2019.
We made a lot of promises in 2018 that we will make some money. But, life. Life happened and we're still where we started in 2018.
With Nigeria having the highest number of extremely poor people in the world, it's important that we try to lift ourselves from poverty. This can only happen if we contribute and bring solutions to people in exchange for money.
But how do you we solve people's problem when we don't have any skill?
Don't panic. We are going to learn a skill that in just a few months we will be benefiting from that skill.

if they keep asking what will the Yoruba's benefit from having a VP from our region I gladly point to this , whether they increase its funding or not, Dubai inner city metro of just 74km cost $4.2bn, compared to this linking 3 capital city in the southwest. By the time dangote biggest refinery in west Africa commences operation and starts delivering power to our national grid, and this rail start lifting passengers, our noisy envious neighbors would have something to wail about apart from marginalisation

Tribalistic people like you.
Imagine you saying noisy neighbours. You might refine the oil that you extract from Lagos.

Scam Government.

However, this is not the first scam that APC has perfected. That was how that dwarfy ugly thing called the Lifeless one to come commision a school in Benin. Only for students of the school to protest three days later that their school lacks chair.

But idiots and people benefiting from this government will tell you that the government meant well.

MESSI the GOAT.

Old age is still worrying Wole Soyinka,
No wonder buhari still get sense pass these prof.
No wonder someone like these can not governed this country?

The prof has become insane.

So thief ortom left because of the killing sponsor by himself.?

But thief ortom said he is leaving APC because he has be given red card by the good Benue APC leaders.
The good leaders said, they gave thief ortom red card because he failed to pay salary upon all the money he received from the best president.
He sponsor rustlers and bandit,
He hide 22b naira for himself when workers are hungry.
And called the stealing security vote, and these insane wole Soyinka is praising thief.
Soyinka should go and die.

Lemme correct the nonsense you wrote.
*governed should be "govern".
*Ortom should be capitalised.
*sponsor should be "sponsored".
*best should be worst, or most stupid.
*hide should be "hid".
*Wole should also be capitalised.
*What do you mean by "and called the stealing security vote"?

For you with terrible English to attack a Professor like Wole Soyinka means you don't have sense.

AdesegunSanni89:
Yes Wike may lose since PDP is no longer controlling the Federal government to rig for him.

You are funny. Have you forgotten that since Buhari won, INEC has organised more than three elections there and have not won any?

TGM2015:


SE and SS has always been rigged in favour of PDP. They simply thumb print leftover ballot papers for PDP. For example in a polling booth of 700 registered voters, only 250 are actually resident while about 120 will come out to vote. They will just thumb print over 400 for PDP such that even if all real voters (the 120) voted for another party, PDP will still win with a wide margin.

Keep quiet and say what you know. My hometown has more than 70% living outside it. During the election, I travelled down to my hometown, the same goes for hundreds of others. You're saying rubbish.

Funnily the lawmaker does not have a name.

KenOne:
Wamakko we know, Tambuwal we do not know. Tambuwal, Saraki, Abdulfatah and Ortom thinks that 2015 scenario will play out again in 2019, after election we'll know that some people just killed their political career as a result of Wike deceit to be called god father and demigod.

We told them that APC will win in Kogi they said is not possible APC they didn't learn their lessons.

We told them again that APC will win in Edo they argued again APC won.

We told them again that APC will win in Ondo as thomas they are the argument continued and APC won.

We told them that APC will not win in Anambra but will do well, they were all over the place that APC can not get a vote in South East APC is dead in Igbo land, as usual APC came second behind APGA pulling over 100k votes with PDP coming distant third.

We told them again that APC will win Ekiti and APC won.

Let it be on record again that APC will win Osun again come September 22 and 2019 election.

Saraki, Ortom, Tambuwal and Wike will all loose elections come 2019.

Wike

DTaj:


You are a “political illiterate”!

The only two persons who helped APC win among your long list in 2015 were Kwankwaso and Bukola Saraki. Let me address your ignorant list one after the other:

1. Kwankwaso: Yes, I agree.

2. Saraki: Yes, I agree.

3. Ortom: Capital No!

Ortom was a political orphan in PDP who finished in the 3rd position in PDP Benue Governorship primaries even as Minister of State for Trade and Investment under Jonathan. The two reasons he was elected as APC Governor in 2015 was the influence of Benue politics grandmaster, Senator George Akume (a formerly Governor), and the determination of Benue people to prevent outgoing Governor Gabriel Suswam from imposing his stooge as Governor under PDP.

Ortom cannot win his ward in any election. His major plank of hope in 2019 is hiding under the Fulani herdsmen attacks to curry favour and sympathy.

4. Tambuwal: Capital No!

Tambuwal was just like ‘political orphan’ Ortom in 2015. It was the political grandmaster of Sokoto, Wammako (popularly called “Alu”) who gave an easy ticket to Tambuwal after he had issues with Jonathan as Speaker of the House of Representatives. Wammako pleaded for formidable candidates to step down for Tambuwal, whose influence was never beyond his tiny Tambuwal federal constituency.

5. Hunkuyi and Shehu Sani: Capital no! This is the most laughable on your funny list!

Hunkuyi has a tiny base in Zaria, which is El-Rufai’s home base that had always voted Buhari almost 95% until Ramalan Yero, another Zaria man, was voted as PDP Governor in 2011.

Hunkuyi cannot deliver his polling booth today.

Shehu Sani is merely an activist from the June 12 saga with almost zero political capital or base. He was one of the many Senators and Reps members who got elected on the wave of Buhari’s huge popularity and what was called “APC Sak” (ie “everything APC”) in the North (especially North West and North East) in 2015! He can’t win an election on his street in Kaduna!

Anyone who knows as little as 30% about Nigerian politics should know that among these states, APC will comfortably get 40% in Kwara (reduced from 80% based on Bukola Saraki’s influence); Kano will still massively vote Buhari in spite of Kwankwaso. The only state on your list Buhari may lose outright is Benue, only due to his handling of the Benue killings- meaning a lot of sentimental votes will go to PDP.

Overall, everything considered, in my view, Buhari will win a 2nd term and the margin will be wider than the 2 million he got over Jonathan in 2015...

Facts, not social media sentiments...

Buhari will win a 2nd term and the margin will be wider than the 2 million he got over Jonathan in 2015...
This is the most laughable stuff you wrote after a good analysis.

The reason we will continue to have bad leadership is that we choose to accept them. What's the meaning of "aftermath of Osinbajo visit"?
We the youth should be wise enough to detect propaganda. Nice one from Google.

Very sad. My friend, the younger brother of the late lady, has been crying since on Wednesday when it happened. The children will be left with that irresponsibility now.

I like you, but this is politics. Anyway, today's my birthday. Show me some love.

Annnonymous:
Where did "kuku" and "kukuma" originate from abeg?

Kuku is a filler word like 'just'. It is of Yoruba origin.

scholes0:


Is your mum Yoruba or a native Yoruba speaker?
Oga is a standalone Yoruba word meaning Boss/Master/Leader. Just ask about.

She's Yoruba, me think Ilesha. Before you yabb me, ma papa na Deltan. I lay my claim there.
She's born and bred there. She left when she was in her 20s.
With what I have collated so far, the word oga might be incorporated into Yoruba. Or maybe mum's dialect is different. Just maybe.

scholes0:
Oga is not from ogaranya sorry.

Oga is a Yoruba word meaning boss.

I don't think so. I asked my mum about oga. She doesn't think oga is a Yoruba word.

• Oya
It is used to urge someone to do someone to do something. It originates from Yoruba land from which could mean begin, start or do.
Usage – Oya wo.
• Oga
Oga means boss, one of authority or a rich person. It is from Igbo word ‘Ogaranya’ that it originated. Ogaranya in this case means one who spends a lot of money and has people under him.
Usage – This Oga dey spend sha
• Una
While in English you can be singular or plural, Pidgin English has a word for the plural ‘you’. It is una and it is a corrupted form of ‘unu’ an Igbo word that mean you people. Jamaicans uses unu.
Usage – Una nor go sleep.
• Sabi
Sabi is from Portuguese saber, which means to know. It is still use in this way today.
Usage – You sabi the place?
• Pikin
In Pidgin English pikin means child. Although some rich people simply calls their children child. In fact, some of us know the difference between ‘pikin’ and ‘child’.
The word pikin originated from Portuguese and have a long history of being kind of derogatory. Pequino was the root word which means little. It later became pickaninny to mean children of black slaves. When it came to Nigeria it has become pikin.
Usage – Send that pikin make e buy am come
• Dey
One of the common pidgin word, dey is the pidgin counterpart of ‘to be’. It is from the Igbo word ‘di’ which means to exist. Although, it is debatable. It is used to show position, acts as ‘to be’ (sometime reversed with ‘na’).
Usage – The man dey there.
• Comot
A corruption of the English phrase ‘come out’. It does what the English version do.
Usage – Comot for here.
• Mumu
If you are called mumu by anyone, especially in all caps. My brother or sister go for deliverance. Mumu actually is not a Nigerian word but from the Ewe and Akan language. It means a slowpoke, very dumb, one who behaves like a Mr Bean.
Usage – That man na mumu
• Amebo
Amebo is someone who gossips a lot. In order words, if you want to spread a message but don’t want to do it yourself, tell an amebo. The news would go viral.
It’s of Edoid origin and means a favourite wife. Since the favourite wife knows more about the husband than the other wife/ves do, she usually have more information than the other(s). She would then be the postmaster and the BBC of the house, relaying messages to husband and wives.
Usage – that guy na amebo oh.
• Street
Before 2012, street used to mean a road with house on both side. But in recent years it has come to mean scam, scammers or a tough person. The word evolved from ‘street boys’, which is usually a derogatory term for urchins. Today it has taken a different twist.
Usage – That boy na street. (Scammer, tough person)
- You don run me street. (Scammed)
- See street oh. (When you know of one’s motive to scam you)
• Wahala
Wahala in Arabic means trouble, big mess. It is probably the logical answer for its origin. It would get into the Hausa man vocabulary, who would then pass it into pidgin. In pidgin it means trouble.
Usage – You don spoil the motor. See wahala!
• Doh
In Edo-Delta area, doh is usually used to comfort and cheer someone up. I know it’s used mostly down here in Niger-Delta.
• Abi
It’s used to confirm if something is right. It’s of Yoruba origin. Although some Yoruba prefer shebi.
Usage – Na James number, abi?
• Chop
Chop means to eat in pidgin. It is from English. Chop used to be an informal word in English for eat. It is no longer used.
Usage – You don chop?
• Abeg
From English ‘I beg’. Used to appeal to someone.
Usage – Bros abeg do am for me.

Explorers, baba you get anything to say?

No responsible person would fight against cattle colony at least we are not.
The pertinent question we are asking is that -
Who will be the major beneficiaries?
Would the colony be segmented? Because we all know that while other ethnic groups have integrated themselves into Nigeria, the Fulani people have not. Nigeria currently does not have security, we all know that. Won't they use it as a base for colonising the local people?
That is our major concern.

How does one have sex without consent?
Thought Jesus said one have sex with his mind first (which of course shows willingness on the part of the doer)?
Besides, thought the Bible said no one esp Christians are under no condemnation?

See analysis, yet Buhari is our president.
