Pres. Tinubu should start a school of politics because he has shown he is the owner of the game — Journalist Reuben Abati.

Veteran journalist and former presidential aide, Reuben Abati, has said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has proven himself to be “the owner of the game” following the outcome of the APC presidential primary.

Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Monday, Abati said Tinubu’s reported 11 million votes in the party primary sent a strong political message to opposition parties ahead of the 2027 general election.

“I think we should get to a point in this country where we should start a Tinubu school of politics and strategy, because what President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has done over the weekend is to show that he’s the owner of the game,” Abati said.

He noted that Tinubu’s challenger, Stanley Osifo, reportedly secured just over 1,000 votes compared to the president’s over 11 million votes, describing the outcome as a “demonstration effect” to opposition figures such as Atiku Abubakar and other contenders.

According to Abati, the implication is that opposition parties would now have to secure more votes than the figures already recorded for Tinubu within his own party.

However, the journalist also questioned the credibility of the voting figures, pointing out that basic vote counting appeared difficult during some APC primaries held over the weekend.

“And yet during the various events that you have seen over the weekend, to even count 1,2,3, basic arithmetic, which you start primary school with, was a problem for that particular political party,” he said.

RomanceThe Anatomy Of A Weak Man: 15 Habits That Are Red Flags by OverCalculating(op): 10:58am On May 18
This isn’t about insulting men; it’s about holding up a mirror and self reflection. The traits below describe a pattern of behavior that I have closely observed in Nigerian men, that quietly erodes self-respect, ambition, and control over their lives. The sad thing is that many of them don't even know about it.

As a man, If you see yourself in several of these points, it’s not a verdict. It’s a starting point. All you need to do is just to recognize the habits, then start finding how to break them and rebuild discipline, purpose, and self-respect.

As a lady, if you observe these habits in your fiancee, you don't need to worsen the case for him by feeling it is normal. It is either you choose to help him rebuild himself with discipline and self respect or just walk away if you think you can't tolerate it.

There is a serious problem with your guy if:


1. He has a victim mentality.

2. He complains instead of fixing his own problems.

3. He's easily influenced and always looking for validation from others.

4. He can't control his sexual urges and food cravings.

5. He has weak eye contact, sloppy handshake, and is afraid to stand for what he believes in.

6. He's a nice guy who's always available.

7. He believes his parents are responsible for his miserable life.

8. He smokes weed. He's a weak man.


9. He distracts himself with pleasure and has no purpose in life.

10. He can't control his emotions and gets easily offended.

11. He is desperate and puts women on a pedestal.

12. Likes gossiping about others.

13. He's fat and in terrible shape but doing nothing about it.

14. There is lack of self-discipline to take action.

15. He gives constant excuses and whine about his problems.
BusinessDangote Explains Why He Prefers Staying In Hotels Than Owning Luxury Home Abroad by OverCalculating(op): 4:01pm On May 17
Billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote has explained why he prefers staying in hotels rather than owning luxury homes abroad, saying he sold his properties in the United States and the United Kingdom to focus fully on building businesses in Nigeria.

According to him, maintaining expensive foreign properties creates distractions and extra responsibilities that can take attention away from long-term business goals. He said the decision helped him simplify his lifestyle and remain more focused on his industrial investments.

“When I decided to go into the industry, you know what I did? I sold all my properties in the US. I had two houses in the US, big mansions, and I had a house in the UK. I wanted to really sit in Nigeria and concentrate,” Dangote said.

He explained that owning holiday homes often comes with obligations that interfere with productivity and personal focus.

“Sometimes when you own a holiday home anywhere, you have to create that time to go and use that property. So now my life is very simple. Wherever I go, I use hotels; I pay. When I leave, nobody will call me and say I have a burst pipe or something is wrong,” he added.

Dangote also stressed that discipline, vision, and long-term planning remain key to his success, noting that his businesses are guided by clear targets.

“So I’m committed to what I do, and I just don’t do things; I always create a vision. It’s just like now; we created a vision for 2030. So, I know I have a target to meet. I just don’t do business. All my businesses are targeted,” he said.

He further explained that many of his investments are driven by a desire to reduce dependence on imports through local production.

“I first of all look at what we need as a people. What is it that we are supposed to be producing, and what are we importing? So we do what you call backward integration,” he said.

“We produce what the people need, and we are now producing things that, when you wake up as a human being every morning, you must use part of what we produce.”

I think it will definitely be controlled. That is why there are supposed to be instructors and administrators in charge of the project as the writer suggested in his writing.

Imagine when soccer was introduced to the school system as an extra curricular activity. Many would have thought a lot of students would die of serious injury while playing. However, has this stopped schools from engaging in football competitions? We have all experienced inter school football competitions, Principal cup, Inter-House Sports without any serious injury. In fact majority of the starts we have today in football were discovered from their school team. This happens globally, that why you can never do away with college sports.
EducationWhy Combat Sports Should Become Compulsory In Nigerian Schools by OverCalculating(op): 8:32am On May 15
I saw this article online and decided to share it here. The message is clear, I hope it gets to the targeted audience.

Beyond the Classroom: Why Combat Sports Should Become Compulsory in Nigerian Primary and Secondary Schools

Many Nigerian students grow up hearing one popular statement about Fridays in school: “Friday is for fun.” Yet, beyond cultural days, sanitation exercises, sports, and social activities, Fridays in many primary and secondary schools unofficially became the day when aggrieved classmates settled disputes physically. Two classmates who had exchanged insults during the week could decide to “meet on Friday” behind the school building, on the football field, or near the classroom corridor. Sometimes the stronger student won; sometimes the weaker one lost badly. Whether good or bad, one thing stood out clearly: students naturally desired courage, physical confidence, and the ability to defend themselves.

Today, Nigeria faces a more dangerous reality than the harmless schoolyard rivalries of the past. Cases of bullying, kidnapping, cultism, street violence, sexual assault, and insecurity have become increasingly common. In such an environment, the discussion about combat sports in schools should no longer be dismissed as unnecessary aggression. Rather, combat sports should be carefully introduced as structured educational and self-defense programs in Nigerian primary and secondary schools.

Combat sports such as Judo, Taekwondo, Karate, Wrestling, and Boxing teach discipline, confidence, self-control, fitness, bravery, and self-defense. These are not merely fighting systems; they are systems of mental and physical development. Countries like Japan, South Korea, China, Russia, and the United States have long integrated martial arts and combat training into youth development programs because they understand the psychological and social benefits.

According to the World Health Organization, physical activity among children improves mental health, discipline, confidence, and emotional regulation. Studies in sports psychology have also shown that martial arts training reduces bullying tendencies because students learn controlled aggression, respect for rules, and emotional discipline. In many schools abroad, students who participate in combat sports often show better concentration and reduced behavioral problems.

Nigeria already recognizes the importance of extracurricular development through organizations such as the Boys' Brigade Nigeria, Girl Guides Association of Nigeria, Nigerian Red Cross Society, and the Man O’ War program. These organizations teach leadership, survival skills, discipline, patriotism, and teamwork. Combat sports can serve a similar purpose while also equipping students with practical self-defense abilities.

One major problem among many Nigerian youths today is fear and lack of confidence under pressure. Many young people panic easily during emergencies because they have never been trained mentally or physically to remain calm under confrontation. Some cannot defend themselves against bullying in school, harassment on the streets, or violent attacks. This does not necessarily mean they are naturally weak; rather, many have simply grown up without exposure to controlled physical training that builds resilience and courage.

Martial arts training changes this mindset. A child who learns Taekwondo or Judo develops confidence in movement, awareness, balance, and self-control. Such a child learns not to fear confrontation unnecessarily, but also learns when to avoid violence. Contrary to public misconception, trained martial artists are often calmer and more disciplined than untrained individuals because they understand the consequences of violence.

Statistics from youth sports programs in several countries indicate that students involved in structured combat sports demonstrate improvements in self-esteem and emotional control. For example, youth boxing and wrestling programs in parts of the United States have been associated with lower dropout rates and improved discipline among participants. In Japan, where martial arts like judo are part of educational culture, students are taught respect, patience, and courage alongside physical skills.

Nigeria can adapt similar systems to fit its educational structure. Schools do not need to turn students into professional fighters. Instead, the goal should be basic competence in self-defense, physical conditioning, emotional discipline, and courage. Just as students are encouraged to join clubs and sports teams, every student should be encouraged to learn at least one combat sport before completing secondary school.

A student who graduates after learning Karate, Wrestling, or Boxing carries more than fighting skills. Such a student develops:

Physical fitness
Mental toughness
Emotional discipline
Respect for rules
Self-confidence
Leadership ability
Awareness of personal safety

These qualities are essential in a country battling insecurity and social instability.

Furthermore, combat sports can open doors to scholarships, international competitions, and professional careers. Nigerian athletes have already achieved global recognition in boxing and wrestling. Introducing structured combat programs in schools could help discover hidden talents early and strengthen Nigeria’s sporting reputation globally.

However, proper supervision is important. Combat sports in schools should be taught by certified instructors under strict safety regulations. Protective equipment, medical supervision, and ethical training principles must be emphasized to prevent abuse or unnecessary violence.

Ultimately, bravery is not the absence of fear; it is the ability to remain confident and disciplined in difficult situations. Nigerian students deserve an education that prepares them not only academically but also mentally and physically for the realities of life. In an era of insecurity, bullying, and increasing social tension, combat sports should no longer be viewed merely as fighting activities. They should be recognized as valuable tools for youth development, discipline, self-defense, and national strength.

A Nigerian child should not leave secondary school without learning how to protect himself or herself, remain calm under pressure, and stand confidently in the face of intimidation. Just as schools teach mathematics, civic education, and leadership through clubs, they should also teach controlled physical courage through combat sports.

PoliticsHow Oluremi Tinubu Marked Her 45th Birthday In 2005 (Throwback Photo) by OverCalculating(op): 8:30pm On May 12
Flashback to 2005: When Oluremi Tinubu Marked Her 45th Birthday With Support for Children Living With Sickle Cell


In September 2005, Oluremi Tinubu, then the First Lady of Lagos State, celebrated her 45th birthday in a way that drew public attention for its simplicity and humanitarian focus.

Rather than organizing an extravagant social event, Oluremi Tinubu reportedly chose a modest celebration and redirected attention toward supporting children living with sickle cell disorder. The gesture reflected her growing reputation at the time for social advocacy and community-focused initiatives during the administration of then-Lagos State Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Life as Lagos State First Lady

Oluremi Tinubu served as the First Lady of Lagos State from 1999 to 2007, a period widely regarded as politically transformative for Lagos. During those years, she became actively involved in several social intervention programmes focusing on:

women empowerment,

healthcare,

youth development,

and vulnerable groups.

Her role extended beyond ceremonial appearances, as she increasingly built an independent public identity within Nigeria’s political landscape.
The decision to make her birthday celebration low-key in 2005 was viewed by many observers as a deliberate humanitarian statement, especially because sickle cell disorder remained one of Nigeria’s major public health concerns.

Advocacy for Sickle Cell Awareness

Nigeria has one of the highest rates of sickle cell disorder in the world, affecting thousands of families nationwide. Public figures and advocacy groups have long worked to increase awareness, improve treatment access, and reduce stigma surrounding the condition.
By associating her birthday with support for sickle cell patients, Oluremi Tinubu aligned herself with broader health advocacy efforts that were gaining visibility during the early 2000s.
The move also reflected a trend among Nigerian public officials and political spouses who increasingly used personal celebrations as opportunities for charitable outreach and public engagement.

From Lagos First Lady to National Figure

Following her years in Lagos State Government House, Oluremi Tinubu transitioned fully into elective politics.
She later served as:

Senator representing Lagos Central Senatorial District,

and became one of the longest-serving female lawmakers in Nigeria’s National Assembly in the Fourth Republic.

Over the years, she became known for her involvement in:

education initiatives,

women-focused legislation,

youth support programmes,

and faith-based humanitarian activities.

As of 2026, she serves as the First Lady of Nigeria following the election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

A Moment Preserved in Political History

The 2005 birthday photograph now serves as more than a personal memory. It reflects:

the evolving public role of political spouses in Nigeria,

the growing connection between politics and philanthropy,

and the increasing visibility of humanitarian campaigns tied to public figures.

For many observers, the image also captures an earlier phase in the political journey of a woman who would later become one of Nigeria’s most prominent female political figures.

My 17 years old daughter has never seen her period. I was not too worried at 16 I told her our body is different so no need to worry, but she started getting anxious since all her friends already started mensturating. She is currently in 100 level.

I took her to LASUTH, and after several tests, the doctor said she has MRKH that she was born without a womb (uterus).
I didn't show her the results that day, but l have been terrified since she keeps asking for the full results, and I keep lying that the doctor is still reviewing it.

How do I tell a 17 years old that she will never men.stru@ting or carry a pregnancy? She talks about future husbands and children. My heart breaks every time.
Please, parents, how do I have this conversation without scaring her for life?

CareerRe: Tosin Eniolorunda, CEO Moniepoint & The Unemployability Of Nigerians By Adetula by OverCalculating(f):
In as much as I appreciate the central message in this post, I don't really want us to take all the messages seriously because there is more to it than what is presented for us to read.

Please, my intention is neither to personally attack the writer nor the poster but to let us think deeply and look at the bigger picture.

Are you aware that recently, Opay is listing on the USA stock exchange, claiming to worth over $4 Billion in value? Not only Opay, the same pattern is observed with Moneipoint, Flutterwave, Paystack and even Jumia (our popular e-commerce platform). These are companies that started operating in Nigeria not up to 10 years now.


Now, the question is, what do these companies have in common? They all started from Lagos, Nigeria and they grew so big that they believe it is very difficult for Nigeria to handle them anymore. They have forgotten that we made them who they are today, so instead of listing on Nigeria Stock Exchange, then enable Nigerians to benefit from investing in their stocks, they decided to take the profit sharing abroad. It is a long story, in case you need more information on this, I implore you to do your research.

Now, back to the Fintech and the case of unemployability of Nigerians. This is not a new thing globally. This is the same lie that many companies lie anytime they want to attract investors. They will roll out recruitment campaigns and create the feeling that they want to expand. Some may even advertise that they are recruiting 5000 employees nationwide. It is a lie, they want foreign investors to commit more funds in their business expansion. We all know the business model of Opay, Moneipoint and other new Fintechs that I mentioned above, they do not need to employ more people to run their business effectively. They are already running billions on transactions with a very minimal number of staff...so what is the need to recruit more people?

The way forward shouldn't be for us to accept their lies that our people are not employable. Instead, let's do what the UK government did to Uber and Lyft. Let's ask our government to compel them to be flexible with their recruitment and operations to absorb more Nigerians into the system and let their tax be reviewed accordingly.


Thanks so much for understanding. I come in peace ✌️.
FamilyWhen A Man Allows His Financial Affairs To Be Controlled By His Wife... by OverCalculating(op): 1:55pm On May 07
When a man allowed his financial affairs to be controlled by his wife, it means surrendering, it means everything...


In case you don't know, the $280 Million fortune that is controlled by Jet Li's wife is already a great deal for many women out there.

Before he married her, she was the Miss Asia and a retired actress. When he married her, he was proud to reveal her to the world as his financial manager.

T@he Martial arts legend, Jet Li proved that his wife, Nina Li, a former Miss Asia and retired actress, manages all his finances, including his $280 million fortune. Despite this, Nina avoids luxury items and focuses on caring for her husband and their family.

The couple met during the filming of Dragon Fight in 1988 and married in 1999 after 11 years of dating. They have two daughters together, and Nina has successfully handled several investments for her husband while keeping a low profile.

Jet Li once joked that he doesn’t carry cash or credit cards, relying on his wife, his financial manager for money. Nina values a simple life, staying out of the spotlight and prioritizing her family.

That could be the reasons her husband made huge success. A lot of women today may go as far as divorcing their husband because of his wealth and their insatiable quest for more money.

Like Nina, another person that comes to mind is Folashade Okoya. Although she was young when she got married to her Billionaire husband, she didn't let the wealth get into her head by living a flamboyant life or thinking of outshining her co-wives. Instead, she helped the man to grow his businesses by being her Finance manager.

This is a special message for all couples out there. Men should learn how to trust and surrender their Financial Control to their wives at certain stage in life and the wives should not betray the trust by craving for frivolity.

WizardOfNG:
Correct talk. Lived most of my life (from early teens) in the UK. Relocated to Naija a few years ago to establish a few businesses that are now doing well.

I am the envy of all my friends in the UK who visits Nigeria regularly and love the near excellent work, leisure and life balance Lagos offers if one is doing well that I enjoy full-time whereas they are miserable because of poor weather and lives that feel designed for work and paying bills alone in UK and Europe.

For one thing, you will never be able to buy land in London and build your dream home whereas I have purchased 4 different plots of land (minimum 500 SQM) of land in Lagos Island that have climbed up to 600% in value over 3 years.

Leisure , nightlife and dining etal, is the best in Lagos and far superior to anything Europe has to offer. I have a driver in the week and drive myself weekends. I dare not contemplate employing a driver in the UK. Not affordable.

A productive week ends with me driving to one of the nice resort around Lagos on Friday (La Campagne Tropicana Beach Resort being one of my favourite) with any slim-thick beauty free that weekend.😎

People should not even get me started on food which Nigeria has the best of in the whole world, courtesy of sheer variety and being near organic, and I say this as a well-travelled sea food lover (very expensive in Europe) who has visited at least 25 nations of the world in and out of Africa.

This is why I keep telling some here on NL to focus on developing themselves and becoming successful instead of going around crying every day barking rabidly at every rich and successful person.

You want Seyi Tinubu lynched and Yusuf Buhari exiled but never understand their father conquered generational poverty the family now enjoys.


As someone who has lived a majority of his life in the west, I can say with 💯 % certainty that it is the poorer quality of Lebanese, Indians, Brits, Korean, Chinese, Americans etal who come to Nigeria to make money.

Tell young Nigerians to focus more on being solutions-providers, rather than being negative alone and always, so they can utilise the opportunities foreigners are trooping in to take advantage of and they insult you as is done to me daily here with "data boy" and "Tinubu hireling" slurs.


How many Lebanese, Chinese etal do you see suffering in Nigeria despite the fact many are not better off (education or ability-wise) than Nigerians?

The difference is that they see the myriads of opportunities on offer in States like Lagos, unavailable in their own nation, that most Nigerians, wallowing in misery and self-pity, can never spot.

Look at Fouani LG that is Lebanese-owned franchise authorised to sell LG electronics in Nigeria and West Africa.

I have already worked out a model with a British electronic firm to do similar and will market our Stores ( 2 to begin with in Lagos and Ogun State initially) under the banner of that firm.

I am not even deploying 5% of my own money. All I brought to the table was a mind that is open, optimistic, ambitious and can spot solutions.

Lagos has 23 million folks. It is one of the biggest consumer market in Africa. It is not difficult to raise finance for genuine and profitable niche ideas leveraging on taking even 10 Naira each , regularly, from a good percentage of that 23 million.

Today, I only go back and forth to the UK. Love the nation but can never ever live there or in any Western nation. Living in Nigeria and Lagos, these past few years, has opened my eyes to the real beauty of life.

If I want a holiday outside Nigeria, I will head to Seychelles, Kenya, Mauritius, Madagascar, Cape Coast Ghana , Gambia etc but never the West haven done Spain, USA, Europe etal to death in my twenties and cannot now justify comparing them to some African nations for pure pleasure, beautiful people, food, nature and financial cost.


The sooner Nigerian young men and women begin focusing on developing themselves and gaining solutions-provision skills, instead of moaning all day and waiting on government, the closer a fab life is. A fab life that delivers two fab things. Personal success and contribution to the success of your nation.

Nigerians, stop being so frigging negative. "Lagos smells" etc. Yet Idris Elba and Didier Drogba proclaimed it "most fabulous city in the world".

I am amazed when unexposed and bitter haters slag off Lagos. Is it me who has been a londoner majority of his life, and has visited New York and many top cities of the world, who does not know what a great city is?

Od course Lagos has problems but also a lot of positives too . Why then not get skills to make Lagos etal better, as young people elsewhere in the world would do, instead of always highlighting negatives alone?


Below is a Ugandan social media personality gushing about Abuja. Yet all you people know is negativity, bitterness and insults.

Just remember you have one life to live. You can remain bitter throughout that one life or try to achieve, succeed and be happy so that when God calls you, you leave the world with a smile on your face.

This would have been a great opportunity for many business men and contractors in Ogun State to shoot their shot at getting state recognition.


On another note, I think this is commendable. I appreciate the transparency. I can recall that something similar was organized by Omoyele Sowore's campaign team some years ago. Despite all the money generated for his political party campaign fundraising, from Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora, there wasn't any transparency about the money raised. In fact, at a point, the party chairman and other executive members of the party started accusing Sowore for not being transparent about the funds generated. He was even alleged to be lodging in expensive hotel (of about over 500k to 750k per night) with nice treat...

Imagine a pathological critic being caught in the web of what he often criticises others about. After all, na human being we all be. Nobody holy pass.

franchasng:
I love how you presented your points and how you maturedly countered my own points without resorting to insults and invectives like others from your region that support Tinubu, who made us the atomic bombs we Peter Obi supporters are today.


Igbos having a stake in Lagos state is natural, it happens anywhere in the world where people become dominant and visibly active in a community, or even nation. Gradually they will naturally become part of the politics of that community. Igbos will do more than that without complain if Yorubas lived in any Igbo state in large numbers and contribute immensely to the growth of that community. It's a natural thing nobody can stop except xenophobic and tribalistic people who usually feel threatened by none indigenes taking up political positions in their community.



So it's not just Tinubu's doing. Igbos did same in the North before the war. Yorubas are doing same in London and in some other places in Canada and even Ireland. It's a natural thing. The greatest test of Tinubu's personality when it comes to tribalism and nepotism was after he was sworn in as President, not during his tenure as Lagos state Governor.


Obasanjo is a naturally born detribalized man, you don't need to defend him or explain to none Yorubas to accept Obasanjo as a detribalized man and leader. Tinubu is not one, please let's not drag it further because I am very tired after a long flight.

I am responding to you because of how mature, civil and enlightened you sound, if not I would have ignored your comments, so keep it up.


As for the other points, Peter Obi have his own strategy. Goodluck said something spectacular when he was President. He said using EFCC or ICPC to be chasing people around, harassing and arresting them, especially opposition or critics is not the best way to fight corruption. He said the best way to fight corruption is to block the loopholes and all the channels through which people in political positions and government offices steal money and by reducing human interference in government processes.


Dr Ngozika Okonjo-Iweala said the same thing. Reason they started the BVN, the single treasury account (TSA), and others.


But Tinubu and Buhari believe in show man to make people see them as strongmen.


Peter Obi na rock, una never understand sha, go and ask Anambra godfathers and criminals how far. Peter Obi may have a tiny or feminine voice and gentle man's look, that man is tougher than Tinubu when it comes to using constitutional authority vested in him. Peter Obi have been in the private sector for decades, he has played the game, nobody, not even Dangote can outsmart him. If he says he would remove petrol subsidy in phases to ensure it doesn't shutdown the economy like it did under Tinubu, he knows what he is saying and will definitely do it. Una no know Peter Obi and why some of us are supporting him.


Igbos will not benefit much if Peter Obi becomes President. To be honest with you, outsiders like Northerners, youths from all regions will benefit more from Peter Obi's Presidency than Igbos would but many don't know


When Peter Obi was Anambra Governor, his community people thought it was their turn to share in the government money and contracts so they started trooping into the government house thinking they would be favored as Governor's people. To their amazement, Peter Obi warned them all and told them that only if you merit to get a contract is when you will get it and that you must follow the due process like others. He said the same to his own blood brother. Tinubu can never do that instead he considers his family members, his Lagos boys, Yorubas and his cronies first to the detriment of the rest of Nigerians and reason Nigeria has been turned upside down


I am really tired, I wished to explain more things to you but let me stop here
Find a quiet place to listen to this audio visual material below and let me know what you feel afterwards. cool grin wink

See them, see them, IDP politicians who are not really after how to make any good things in the country. Political party hijackers who are not patient enough to grow a party or form a formidable alliance with other parties to make a better opposition. I will keep saying that these ADC guys don't really have anything to offer Nigerians. Peter Obi fall my hand to identify with these *wannabe politicians* who have once been behind the downfall of this nation. Imagine the likes of Aregbesola who was a governor of Osun state without any reasonable impact. Osun states IGR till date is still crippling far behind Lagos and Oyo state in the South Western state. So, what has he got in his political resume to impress anyone or even condemn any government? He was appointed as Minister of Interior for how many years without any impact...I didn't even know the role of a Minister of Interior other than announcing Public Holidays when he was in power. Thank God for Dr.Olubunmi Ojo who blazed the trail by making us know the real deal.

Don't event let me mention the likes of Dino Melaye that boy that values his toy cars more than the lives of the people of Kogi state) or Rotimi Amechi (the once respected and influential state man in Rivers State but now an upcoming politician because of his greed and selfishness. Who could have taught Wike would be more relevant and influential than this guy now?) or David Mark (one of the longest serving Senators in Nigeria without any reasonable impact). If these guys have done well during their days in power, Nigeria will not be where she is today.

On another note, I just noticed something very funny 🤣 😂 😂.

APC or ADC, the only difference is the central letter. Am I the only one here that notice it is much easier to change letter "grin" to "P" than "P" to "grin". This little but significant bug may be used against the opposition party during the election. Thins is me just thinking 💭 🤔 🤔...I beg, don't come for me o. I come in peace and I do not support election rigging or violence o.

God bless Nigeria!
