I believe the Machina guy was a member if AD or maybe Tinubu's ACN from way back. Not sure which one.

He is/was Chairman of Nigerian Shippers Council, and a member of the House of representatives in the 90s, before Lawan became a legislator.

The guy is not a pushover. He spoke confidently on Channels yesterday.

Politics and politicians, especially in Nigeria can be unforgiving. If your political mates see you as a traitor, the day they get the chance to deal with you, you'll regret the day you were born. It's like a cult.

Lawal is highly unlikely to return to the Senate.

Just came back from the market... Went there with my landlord's son... This afternoon he saw me going out and asked where I was heading to... Told him... He asked if he could accompany me and I said yes! He was getting a few things too (a mop and buckets and so on...)

I've never spoken to him before... I thought he was an arrogant self-absorbed snub... Not my type... He's a few years older... I'm nineteen so he's between twenty one to twenty three... Very fair... Has curly hair which he dyed dirty blond but left the roots black... Pierced both ears... Dad is a police man... So it's insane he allows his son go out looking like a yahoo boy...

Anyways... He and I trekked a little... We barely spoke... I was extremely shy...

We stay in a very quiet predominantly hausa- fulani- yoruba muslim community... After some minutes we finally stopped a bike... He said we would ride together... I told him 'No'... I never tried that sh** with my exes and sure a as hell wouldn't start with him... But after waiting to no avail... I relented...

It was uncomfortable and extremely exciting! Being really close to cute guy! A lot of bad thoughts but I was also scared a neighbour would see he and I and report us to my mum...

We got to the market which is extremely disorganized! We split up... He went his own way to get what he wanted to buy... And I went to the stalls selling tomatoes and pepper and bought some onions from a mallam...

He and I met again... He asked if I was done so we would head back to our compound together... I told him I had to grind them cause the blender at home was faulty...

In the market... There's a section where yoruba women grind tomatoes or egusi etc... We got there... The lady I chose cause her engine was the cleanest started to tease us... My landlord's son is an aje-butter... He was choking turning red...

It felt good... Cause he was a bit humiliated which made me confident...

The woman asked if we were dating... I couldn't say no... Kept laughing throughout... He didn't say anything.... I think it's a good thing... He made it seem as though we were together...

We finished there... Started talking really well... He's funny... Smart too... Plus he's cute so I enjoyed us being seen together as much as being with him...

We went to a cold room to get some chicken... Nothing much happened there... He paid though... I refused cause I had the money... But I couldn't make a scene... We later spent the money on sweets and soft drinks... Which was fun...

His mum called... Asked him to go to his aunt's wine shop to get something... I didn't follow him cause it's already late... Went home alone...

When Bola Ahmed Tinubu declared his intention to run for the presidency, one thing came to my mind, thinking of what Mr Tinubu will dish out during his campaigns and manifestos.

Tinubu is a well known gaffe in many, if not all, his public appearance talks.

I will advise his PR to make sure he doesn’t talk in public and any time it is mandatory for him to talk, let it be a well written and edited script.

The President of the African Development Bank and former minister of Agriculture, Dr Akiwumi Adesina, on Saturday, obtained copies of his Nomination and Expression of Interest forms to vie for the All Progressives Congress presidential ticket.

This is as a coalition of 28 groups consisting of Youth Arise Movement, Nigerians in Diaspora One Nigeria Group, Prudent Youth Association of Nigeria, women groups, farmers, people with disabilities and other civil society groups, raised the N100 million fee to purchase the forms for the former minister.

The coalition is led by the Head, One Nigeria Group, Mohammed Saleh.

The payment acknowledgement slip exclusively seen by our correspondent on Saturday carried Adesina’s name as the recipient of the forms.

This is my favourite clause;

10. Clause 84 stipulates that anyone holding a political office – ministers, commissioners, special advisers, and others – must relinquish the position before they can be eligible to participate in the electoral process either as a candidate or as a delegate.


Will Prof Osinbajo, Ameachi, Dave Umahi, Orji Uzor Kalu and Rochas Okorocha resign by June 2022 so as to participate in the 2023 Election

In the photos believed to have been taken at his Senate office, National Assembly Abuja, the 2023 Presidential hopeful looked gorgeous in his neatly sewn sparkling white coloured native wear popularly called "Agbada" and the Native  Igbo red hat.

According to the details of the photos the former Governor made various facial expressions and natural gesticulation as the photos were being taken.

The Abia North Senator who is also a major investor in the Nigerian media industry being the publisher of two major Newspaper publishing houses shared the photos on his official Instagram handle @oukgram on Thursday with the caption " okay guys let's do this for the gram , choose your best slide #OUK."

Reacting, admirers of the Forbes rated self made billionaire entrepreneur expressed their excitement over the new photos with some describing him as "looking Presidential."
