Even at this age this grand ma has refused to accept herself the way she is and nothing screams low self esteem than this
However she's trying to be attractive to more sugaz zaddy

I like to see her old pics.

kkonyeji:
First, where are you from?
If you're not in Abia, not from Abia ooo you can never understand the politics of Abia.
Ọ boy, you must be in Abia to understand it!
OUK & Ben Kalu are both from Bende which is one of the LGs in Abia north, Abia north has 5 LGAs.
Check well, both politicians are the only APC elected representatives from Fed down to state assemblies.

Their strengths WERE only limited to their senatorial zone of Abia North, hence their success last election. Unfortunately for them, the strength is no more, especially with their support for this wicked administration coupled with poor & inefficient representation of their people, but they think that their "power is still as of old".

See, Bende LGA alone is a constituency. If there were more than one LG that constitute Bende constituency, Ben Kalu wouldn't have won considering the evil administration of PMB, because other LGAs would rather support their son.
Being the number 1 citizen in Bende representing them in the lower chamber, he used his incumbency & money to retain his seat. The more reason he flexes his muscles in Bende is cos he feels & know his base starts & ends in Bende, same for OUK whose strength is only restricted to Abia north (but people are wiser now, cos it's not going to be business as usual).
Let them bring the money, we'll help them to squander all & still go with our able Governor, HE, Dr Alex Chioma Otti, OFR.

God willing, Ben Kalu & OUK will come back home after 2027 election.

If it's that easy to run for office,why not try it? Why didn't LP candidates win in same bende considering the obi euphoria at the time? This men stood against that and still came out tops and you want to wave that off as a fluke...... Abia politics isn't different from any other place,u need to be popular to win elections,do you think it's easy to rig in an unpopular candidate.

PlasmaTV:
Dada Olusegun?
The same boy that was always insulting baba bulaba?

Lol

He should shurrrrrruppppp

There is nothing wrong with opposing a political rival in the past but aligning later and sharing common interests,that's the fluidity of politics and smart politicians know this......even zik and awo had to align in the second republic to counter the NPN despite their well documented political rivalry.

IyfeNamikaze:
if you think Kalu can rally support for Tinubu in Abia State then you don't really know the relationship between Kalu and Abịa State. He doesn't have many supporters in Abia and majority of Abians see him as a failure, a sellout who has lost political relevance. They might throw pure water sachets at him if he comes to campaign for Tinubu in Aba.

How then does he keep winning election every time? Even when LP was clearing everywhere in SE with the failed obi tsunami,he still stood and won with the most hated party in SE as at then.If what you are saying isn't born out of hate,u are a shameless liar

anonimi:
Have you considered the population of the states

How many people live in bayelsa or imo?

iwaeda:
Oyo should be no1, go to Bodija, Agbowo, Ojoo, Moniya.

How can u be surprised about oyo.....I am surprised Benue is way down at number 10 was expecting them higher up cos those guys guzzle alcohol same as plateau and Adamawa.

adamkkk:
Y are u people always like this ?

Delta, my own state is in which Bag ? do you knw d heat Sheriff is facing right now. Even sheriff will not win 5 local government in d coming election. I knw u will argue, but take it from a Delta Born warri son.

Delta is PDP
SS is PDP or New opposition

that is a fact, unless there is no election and the governors are the one doing the voting. Ask Ovie Omoagege, even with Buhari backing, he couldn't get more than 2 local government. Don't dare Deltans. All these your play play online will end after 2027

Keep playing.....delta was pdp when those that mattered were there...... Every top politician in delta right now is in APC complete with their structures.....do you think parties can win elections without finance,who is there to bank roll pdp or anyone else......Omo agege lost because the incumbent and all that mattered were in PDP,as we speak all the senators are in APC ,delta south is apc through and through now what do u want to tell me that PDP can raise a finger......ibori,uduaghan,Okowa,sheriff,sen nwoko,nwaboashi,Omo agege,keyamo,emerhor and all their structure.....guy wake up from Ur farm Ur dream,when the time comes u will know.

Shawarmagirl:
If you want to know, tell eye neck not to rig the election in his favour again. Nigerians are the one voting not the state governors decamping.

You sit in one corner of Ur dingy room and permutate about elections u don't even understand how the system runs.....these guys eat and sleep politics ,that's all they know and nothing else while u are busy chasing Ur daily bread.....u are no match for them and they already have their game panned out.

press9jatv:
Another state in APC bag. Congratulations to APC family, congratulations to Tinubu and his team. No hope for PDP in South South region of Nigeria. Soon tompolo will decamp to APC too.

Tompolo had always been a tinubu man.......he is ibori's protege and they share same interest.....delta is already in the bag and secured same as Edo and cross rivers,now akwa ibom.....bayelsa is next.....this contest is already won even 2 years before election.....no northerner would vote for another southerner just after 4 years of tinubu,that's automatic 12 years for the south and no southerner would vote another northerner just 1 term into a southern administration......that's why tinubu has all the odds in his favour.

Quest7777:
Still don't understand the rationale for embarking on this highly controversial and expensive coastal highway from Lagos to Calabar,
when we have a similar existing poorly maintained road that runs from Lagos-Ogun-Ondo-Benin-Warri-Bayelsa-Port Harcourt-Akwa Ibom-Calabar.

After 2years, only 30km out of 750km was ridiculously commissioned...

Naysayers like you said same thing in the 60s when the third mainland bridge was to commence,they stopped at nothing in slandering the govt of the day and castigating the project,but look where we are now several decades later,imagine Lagos without the 3MB.

jhydebaba:
Petro is not expensive in Nigeria but it could be cheaper based on the fact that we have crude oil and refine locally now.

Nigeria isn't the only country with crude oil and the other citizens pay more than we do.

nairalanda1:
It also worsens the debt, so the masses will still pay heavily anyway

It also prevents the kind of investment needed to improve power supply. Masses keep on suffering

Let that on petrol and Forex sink in properly first.....that would be a bullet straight to the head if this govt attempted that right now ....political expediency is the right of every govt . You can't do all at once.

nairalanda1:
You guys, for once drop this apc, pdp, obi, tinubu and atiku, and GEJ and buhari, and all that political stuff. Me, I don't have a side in this politics, and think our politicans are evil...all of them


But the honest fact is, for decades, we have been subsidising power in this country. FOR DECADES. Also, since the late 1970's, governments have been connecting people to the grid, and they don't bother about whether they can pay for power on a monthly basis or not.

Result...a power sector that has been chronically and is still chronically short on cash, and that has not been able to pay for upgrades for centuries.

So, why are tinubu and company scared to rectify that and remove subsides? Because they don't want to be voted out? It is the same nonsense GEJ did when he privatised power, but left subsides and price controls in place....leading to the point where three power discos had to be taken over by banks and one other by the government itself.

At the end , it may be harsh, but it would eventually allow investment needed to get us to at least 34000 mw, which is what we need right now to give everyone on the grid 24 hour a day POWER.

Let's dump this oppressor thing. I am not here to argue or to do propaganda for any entity. If business, including the power business, must flourish here, we got to free it to make enough profits to pay for improvements itself.

And improvements cost money. Because no joker is going to do anything for free.

You are quite correct in Ur posit but political expediency is also the right of any govt.....we all know subsidy removal on electricity is the way to go but it would be disastrous for this govt to attempt that wholistically at this perilous times......you don't pull the plugs on every welfare Ur citizens are enjoying all at once.....get the economy stable anyway you can then we can come to that later.

Satazaa:
I suspect that at this rate of milestone achievement by Tinubu he may end up being far the best president Nigeria will ever have with regard to sound micro and macro economic policies if he is able to complete two terms, hate him or love him he is doing great things economically

Every reasonable Nigerian knows this.....the FG is doing fantastically well as far as macro economic stability is concerned but the problem is the rather slow effect on the micro which isn't absolutely the fault of tinubu.....they should ask what the sub nationals are doing,I haven't seen any massive investment by any of them in education, health care or even agric that can improve the economy and have direct bearing on the masses despite the increase in allocations.....but the people will always blame tinubu.

nairalanda1:
More like the government ran out of money by august 2022.

Everything happening is to mitigate that.

That apc did not diversify and still isn't diversifying the economy, and still practices investment discouraging things like power subsides is the main koko

Power subsidy I would say is rather expedient for now so as to mitigate the suffering of the masses,u can't pull the plug on every welfare Ur citizens are getting all at once.....it would be trite to do that on electricity only when the economy substantially improves.

looseweight:
Though it won't magically stop the suffering of Nigerians, however it will kind of send good signals to Investors, assuring them that their profits wouldn't be withheld from getting to their respective country, thereby increasing the ease of doing here

Don't mind those empty heads,they don't even understand how the economy works and how everything is inter related.....all they know is price of rice and garri......they don't even understand tinubu didn't increase the price of petrol.

SadiqBabaSani:
So we should celebrate this as the magic that reduced suffering of Nigerians?

You don't know how far this goes in boosting the credit rating of your country and how much boost for investor confidence.

maasoap:
Okay now, Adeleke families are chasing Tinubu up and down. It was Davido with the first lady, now Deji and Demola with the first man .

Pay the Osun APC local government elected officials you unjustly sacked their entitlements or obey the court ruling and have peace. Why choosing difficult road when you have peaceful path in front of you?

Fubara knows better now......he won't give near those chest beaters even with a long pole.

Heavensake1:
Tinubu let them out of APC because of Aregbesola but now they are back because of Aregbesola is out of APC. Reconciliation can't happen between Tinubu and Aregbesola if he can go for the Adelekes.

Don't mind that useless aregbe,he was the one that caused the defection of the adelekes by denying them the APC senatorial ticket after the demise of their brother sen isiaka adelekes.....he is now same person famzing them to join him in his fruitless exercise of trying to measure up to tinubu.

agulion:
Tinubu wife like the said was a pastor before election and now an Hajia after election

What makes her hajia,does are dressing conote any religious symbolism,do you see how northern xtians dress?

My wonder is her pics with davido,he is known to be of limited height and the first lady on the other hand isn't known to be diminutive, wondering why they seem at par in that pic.

They will never listen until they get caught then start shedding crocodile tears then start blaming tinubu!!

WizardOfNG:
That can work too because an outgoing President can provide all the necessary backing to assist a win for such a candidate.

I will however add that Dogara, though not unknown politically, is a technocrats also.

Arguable too that he is a "dyed in the wool" politicians because that would suggest he is given to political expediency above doing what is right/required.

He has shown he has reformer 'layers' such as when he was the most prominent Northerner to come forward to back the tax reform bills with knowledge and erudition.

All demonstrative of the fact he took it upon himself to be thoroughly aware of what the tax reform bill entails and what it seeks achieve. Something virtually all Northern leaders would not contemplatie.

Politicians would always be what they are.....tinubu knows this and you wouldn't want to entrust a typical Nigerian politician with that much power......Wike borrowed right out of Tinubu's book of politics by going for fubara,that was why he was able to handle him because dude was a political neophyte with no capital even with all the power at his disposal Wike still held him by the jugular...... Tinubu would still want to peddle his influence around that seat and he knows no politician can be trusted...... look at all the govs that came after him in Lagos,they were nobodies that it would take them almost 2 terms to even learn the ropes to think of subterfuge,he has adequate reinforcements to check any funny ideas......look how sanwo olu is being reined in as we speak,he is already staring right inyo tha barrel of the gun.

ivandragon:
Can you compare the socio-economic conditions of both countries?

In your mind, the masses should suffer because the government is incompetent.

You guys sang this same song for 8 years under buhari.

Tell me one tenure the masses haven't been suffering..... "The poor will always be amongst you" even the bible says so......tell me one sector in Nigeria that has gone moribund since tinubu came in it doing worse than right now than before......it's easy to point fingers subject to your political views but the fact remains fact......the rot in the Nigerian economy cannot be changed in just 2 years,u need several painstaking years of reforms.

ivandragon:
I am talking about the political class. Have you seen any political office holders cut down on expenses?

You talk about subsidy thieves and forex manipulators, why hasn't the government gone after the economic saboteurs? Was it the masses that were manipulating the subsidy and forex markets?

Where buhari and bat better when they were in the opposition? Given thier antecedents, did they show any sign of liking the masses?

Anyway, usual excuses for incompetence and greed...

Almighty USa has been waging wars against narcotics since the 60's ,have they been able to win it by curbing drug smuggling......Europe has been fighting illegal migration longer than I can remember,have they been able to curb it.....the only solution we had was to stop it in its entirety so everyone exploiting that space can go look for something else to do

WizardOfNG:
Like Yakubu Dogara. He is 57 now and will be 63 in 2031.

It's going to be a green horn, someone you have never heard of and definitely a technocrat.....tinubu would never trust handing over to another politician and dogara is a dyed in the wool one.

SarkinYarki:
Tinubu has not improved a single economic or social index in 2 years , I mean not a single one , all he has done is to make life worse in Nigeria

What indexes are u inferring?

Ishilove:
This is so annoying. So who is he leaving the trash for?

Why does the Gowon estate market not have a proper waste disposal management plan with Lawma?? All of them get fault

This is a recurrent menace all over Lagos....it's very simple to solve,any street where this happens,each property owner should be held responsible for the clearing by fines,anyone who doesn't co operate should have their properties sealed... Residents should be responsible for the clearing of their garbage both home and street.....if you allow people come drop garbage on Ur street irresponsibly,then be ready to pay.

SeeWahala:
Everybody should be careful the op and praise singers above and below are still the same people that prophesied that Dangote would crash petrol, diesel, kerosene, aviation fuel, cement, sugar, flour prices

Now they have added rice 🌾 and will soon add electricity 🔌 to the items their Dangote will soon CRASH it's price

Same APC no other

You should keep playing the ostrich.....how much was petrol before dangote came in,it was as high as 1,300 at some point and how much is it now......rice went as high as over a 100k for 50kg bag but it's way lesser now and my I still bought for 54k last week for same 50kg......deny it all u want the facts are there for even the blind to see.

b0rn2fuck:
Not all, .....Dem no dey right prostitute for head

I love dem leg chains and even encourage my significant order to put it on often.....it always looks nice on her.

b0rn2fuck:
Not all, .....Dem no dey right prostitute for head

There are several ladies who cover up from head to toe,attend all church functions and pray like they are possessed by the spirits but are still selling their bodies.....there is now a very thin line between morality and sexuality.

jmoore:
And what will be his role in the coalition? Will he be the party chairman or what?

No, BOT chair!!

LagosOrigin:
Ok but don't rig election for Tinubu if E sure for you and see if tinubu won't be defeated before 12:30

You think the world revolves around u,just because u and a few around Ur hamlet would rather remain deluded doesn't mean everyone will.....even Ur obi knows he stands no chance.
