Its unfortunate that the sophiscated mo.rons are always on the other side of TRUTH.

They should allow Atiku to prove his case in court of law.Period.

Congratulations to Chiaka.

Imortal001:
APC, dont accept nonse makers calling himself pastor, from the way this man talks am 100% sure that God did not call him, rathe he called God.

Just as God did not call Osinbajo Mr Tradermoni the lying machine and hand bag carrier of Tinubu the drug convict.

(GoFundMe)

Thousands of dollars in donations are now pouring in to help find a home for a homeless 8-year-old refugee from Nigeria and his family, after he won a New York State chess competition.

Tanitoluwa Adewumi, known as Tani, is a Christian refugee from Nigeria who fled persecution with his family from Islamist sect Boko Haram, according to the Christian Post.

Tani, a student at PS116 in Manhattan, won the state's chess championship for his age group earlier this month and gained national attention following the New York Times article that described his family's living conditions in a Manhattan homeless shelter.

“It’s an inspiring example of how life’s challenges do not define a person,” Jane Hsu, the principal of P.S. 116, told the New York Times.

Tani’s chess teacher, Russ Makofsky, created a GoFundMe page Sunday for the 8-year-old and his family to “help Tani's family secure a home where he can continue on his journey.”

In just two days, the page more than tripled its goal of raising $50,000.

According to the GoFundMe page, Tani immigrated to New York from Nigeria with his family two years ago and quickly picked up the game after joining his school’s chess club. The page said Tani won the competition after playing chess for just a little more than a year.

“Tani IS ALL HEART!” the page reads.

Tani’s family posted “words of appreciation” Tuesday, writing “we give God the Glory for being crowned as FIRST PLACE CHAMPION in his first New York State Tournament (K-3) Primary Championship held in Saratoga Spring New York.”

“Our big shout out to the whole WORLD for all your support Financially, Morally, Spiritually and many more can't mentioned. You are all Awesome. God bless you all,” the post reads.

Tani’s family reportedly applied for asylum in the U.S. and have an immigration hearing scheduled for August that will take place three months after Tani is set to compete at the elementary national chess championship, according to The Hill.

Atiku is spending money while you are living in abject poverty.

All hail the future Jagaban and the leader of Yoruba nation.

Gbenga Daniel was a mole and a snitch to APC all along.

Buhari have a lot to do with the carnage going on in Rivers state.He is the commander in chief and should call his military boys back to barracks.

OUK we know!

Thats true,do you expect APC senators to elect Buhari's enemy SP?

It should be given to OUK he deserves it.

Mumuric should shut up his terrorist mouth.Did he hear the mass killer screeming JESUS AKBAR while gunning those humans down?

God bless you FFK for speaking out for helpless sourthern Kaduna christians.

Nigeria is a damned lawless country led by a souless bigot.

How APC Islamised the SW politically. Ayam in pens. Sivia pens...

Lagos State APC- Sanwo Olu (Christian)

Ogun State APC – Dapo Abiodun (Christian)

Ondo State APC–Akeredolu (Christian)

Ekiti State APC– Kayode Fayemi (Christian)

Osun State APC– Isiaka Adegboyega Oyetola (muslim)

Can you now agree with me that wailers are sick! Many of them are opening this thread to masturbate but are utterly disappointed �

I wonder what MURIC is doing in SW and their mission.

Osinbajo the lying ba.stard

Long over due biko.
