They'll manage to get to yankee or jand, and start to act like they're in heaven.

God punish these bad leaders for making this place a shithole, including the ignorant masses that continue to vote them into power to impoverish the people.

I see no reason why one would leave the comforts and familiarity of their motherland to japa to the hostile environments of an unknown land if not for wicked and selfish leaders.

Cost of living is cheaper here. The only thing we need is visionary leadership to improve the quality of living.

The only thing that is better there is the infrastructures

ednut1:
Same repetitive topic and videos. Can you guys just buy a ticket and return home

Many prefer to come but they won't because if they come back with nothing, you will shame them

EtinosaDLaw:
You're actually a very stupid individual. There's an option for you to report it there, instead of you to report, you came here to wail. This archaic mindset of yours is the reason why the wrong set of people keep ruling us. "If I report, nothing will happen". If you know that nothing will happen so why did you bring it here? So we can all cry with you? Idiot.

Bros do you eat bush meat?

nazicartel:
Lol. So what if he tells you that his social media handlers did that?. Besides, the people were rallying for him. BUT he wasn't PRESENT and wasn't involved in it too. I don't see case here

He promoted it by posting it on sm. That means he is encouraging the act.

He is the owner of the account and he will have to take responsibility for whatever it is posted by whoever the handler of the account is

nazicartel:
But campaign hasn't started when they were doing their rally. I don't think LP has talk with court on the ground that they were not the organizers of the rally. This case will be handled by an nysc lawyer.

Òbí posted it and applauded it on his sm handle. - His mistake

dustmalik:
I am an Ebira man (My dad is from Adavi and my mom is from Okene, both Ebira land).

I can assure you that Tinubu doesn't need to worry about Ebira land. His votes are just waiting to be casted on the D-day. He should rather concentrate on other parts of the country.

You expect them to fight a governor? They must have been threatened in presence of armed forces. So what do you expect
Even you will plead guilty

Your defense line is for the gullible

Mystic216:
Prove what

What they claimed. Why did they plead guilty? Because they know they lied

Bigchristo:
So what is the meaning of democracy? If they can prosecute someone for criticizing government officials it means we are not in anywhere near democracy yet

They didn't criticize, they lied.

Mystic216:
These people be behaving like demigods
Even Idi Amin must have changed by now

Why díd they not prove it?

Pipefitter:
Davido is a big artist that know a lot of people, probably in their hundreds so it's perfectly normal that people he knows die occasionally. You can't compare him with you that know about 10 people

Wizkid is not a big artist? Burna boy is not a big artist? Kiss Daniel doesn't know much people. They don't know plenty people enough but only Davido have connections and know plenty people.

Jagaban campaigners should start thinking outside of the box, Tinubu will win Lagos we know, this is undisputable, but will only Lagos make him president

It good that you are not denying it anymore. You people were once claiming he can't even win Lagos.

This is different from Obi's rally o. The first was women only, it was massive, the second was Oluomo's and his boys, it was intimidating, this one is youth only and it was threatening.

Wait for politicians only, local government people only, etc.

This is a just a start

Well they could as well call off, and go back to strike after a day.
If at all u understand the court verdict

Probably you are the one who does not understand the court verdict.

They can't go on strike until court settle other matters as contained in the case.

Are you a lawyer?

So what would they do if they don't end it? They had lost back to back in court. What options do they have?

The guy sodeke is a devil. All appeals, persuades, cajole, etc didn't work. He was adamant. He was arrogant, but God had finally humble him

MasterJayJay:
See them celebrating transformer. Does transformer generate electricity?


Some Nigerians love suffering. You are not enjoying stable power and you are insulting Peter Obi that traveled to Egypt to study how their power infrastructure improved.

National grid under APC can be likened to a married man suffering from erectile dysfunction. We have lost count how many times the national grid has failed.

We need a quantum leap in solving the power problems of Nigeria.

Egypt added 25,000 megawatts (MW) of new power stations to their national electricity grid during the period from June 2014 to June 2018. Got that? 25,000 MW in just 4 years.

In October 2018, project consortium partners Siemens, Elsewedy Electric and Orascom Construction officially unveiled one of the largest combined cycle megaprojects in Beni Suef,
Egypt. The teams completed three plants totalling 14,400 MW in a record time of 27.5 months at the cost of €6 billion.

Buhari has been in power for 7 years +, how many megawatts has been added? He keeps borrowing and borrowing with no tangible thing to show for it. Some of you are like victim of ponzi schemes. Can't you see APC has scammed you for the past 7 years?

Peter Obi is looking for solutions to transform Nigeria, while others are looking for how to be in power.

Few months to go, that's when Buhari remembers he will buy transformers.

You just come out to dish out ignorance. Please tell us your knowledge about Power Engineering because won't like to engage people who don't know a thing other than surface analysis

Blackfire:
Anybody who rejoice at this news is a fooloool



Gaming as in gambling



Is this govnor jobless or myopic


Destroying the life of the youths with gambling

Mumu claiming to know something when in reality he's an illiterate who doesn't know anything about online game. Now he's is referring to people who are wiser than his forefathers as fooools.

ObosiUkwalla:
Are you ok??

As for the court session, call me when he appears in court

Why must you be called before you do your job? Did anyone call you before you involved yourself here?

You can ask again if I am OK. As if you can ask me such in real life

ObosiUkwalla:
Stop talking trash. Was he the one who put the frsc personnel on his bonnet?? How will he be charged for attempted murder when it was the officer who climb the hood of the bonnet by himself.... Or is that how frsc mgt asked their officers to be working

I hope you will appear in court to defend him? When next someone stay in front of your car or on the road, hit him. After all he stays in the front by himself

You think everyone is a new Comer like your naive candidate? Campaign had not started but your candidate had been calling press conferences for even irrelevant reasons, jumping from one TV station to another.

Others know what they are doing. There is time for everything and be ready for it in October.
