OlaleyeCast: Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, broke down in tears on Sunday during a congratulatory call from his nephew cum Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, better known as Davido.
Recall that Davido actively campaigned for Adeleke throughout the election and repeatedly expressed confidence that his uncle would secure a second term.
Adeleke was declared the winner of the election on Sunday after polling 511,067 votes across the state to defeat his major contender, Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a video circulating online, Adeleke, while speaking with Davido, got emotional and was heard saying, “Come and give me a hug,” while his son, B-red, was also seen patting him on the back.
I worked for 15yrs, earned averagely, look good drive company car and everyone thinks am doing well. I get invited to every occasion. They didn't know I was struggling financially and just trying to keep up with the jonses.
I lost the job and started business. I now earn average of 500k but still look poor. People still think am broke as hell but I pay all bills without stress.
I can't even imagine 9 - 5 again unless under contract or commission based.
TheStoriesOfMan: I would have responded to that guy you quoted, but I'll be revealing too much.
It's high time you ignore naysayers saying Igbos will never be president. They say this out of fear and jealousy. So just ignore them and keep on building.
When the time is right, the Protocol shall be activated.
I know na, I just want to dey remind them of their nightmare sometimes
onuman: Cancer from crude oyel and gas deposits in the Niger delta region. These people would have left for their Islamic Republic to be governed with Sharia criminal laws, if not for crude oil and gas deposits in the delta region.
The oil will soon become useless.. Make everybody rest
dragunov: That position, you will not get. Olojukokoro gbogbo. You have all the chances to do anything now for the advancement of the country. It's not until the presidency is in your pocket. Nobody is going to allow that. Show your patriotism first and maybe we shall all reconsider.
Unity begging is pure laziness. If I no Wan be your friend again don't force me at gun point.

MY PERSONAL TRIBUTE
General IBB, as someone from Abuja, I have a special appreciation for the transformation of this city during your era. The roads, districts, government institutions and national infrastructure remind us of the enormous ambition behind the Abuja project.
I do not believe we should erase the controversies of your administration. Neither should we allow those controversies to erase its achievements.
History must remember both the successes and the mistakes.
What I admire most about your leadership was your boldness, strategic thinking, ability to assemble professionals and technocrats, and willingness to pursue ambitious national projects.
At 85, you remain a living chapter of Nigeria's history.
HAPPY 85TH BIRTHDAY, GENERAL IBRAHIM BADAMASI BABANGIDA, GCFR! 🇳🇬🎉
May Almighty Allah grant you good health, peace, strength and many more years.
Your story is part of Nigeria's story. Your era is part of our history. Your achievements deserve to be remembered.
With deep respect and admiration,
Comrade Ibrahim Aliyu Comradeibrahimaliyu@gmail.com Abuja, Nigeria 🇳🇬
chiefolododo: Nigeria hold shambolic elections, democracy is useless in Nigeria.
Election is a waste of time and resources if the will of the people doesn't prevail
Physical voting system is nonsense in Nigeria. If you are prevented from voting, if they rig election and declare themselves as winners, what would you , the real winner do ? Go to court ?A complete waste of time.
E- voting is better, if you cannot be traced by a valid means of identification such as NIN, you shouldn't vote
The leaders don't want free and fair elections. So we will suffer shambolic elections for long
pocohantas: Her career doesn't need to solve important problems in the society. It just needs to solve her personal and family problems first. People work first to pay their bills, not to find the cure for cancer.
Work/job is not a career it's a simple assignment to enable you pay bills. Get the job first before saying I do. Let the potential hubby know this is what you do for a living in advance.
poshestmina: Gave up her Career and Education to please her husband.
Tolerated all sorts of disrespect . It will never be me.
Pls make sure your career is solving important problems in the society. A lot of people are busy doing nothing and serving one illiterate boss in the name of career.
babatee1985: Hello house, I am a father of three children and I mistakenly got my wife pregnant again which I don't want and I've told her to let get rid of it because the pregnancy is just two weeks old and it is yet to form but she insisted that she's going to born it.
I told her to reason with me because my salary is just 150k monthly while she teaches in a school. I told her the financial burden will be too much on us but she said no. She said God will provide for us to take care of our children but I'm working with the reality of things and not something that is not certain.
I've been sleeping in my place of work for days now because I'm not happy at all. I'm just confused and I don't know what to do.
