Is Obi now the president or what? Hypocrisy at it peak

Tochi3:


..See dem..did he ask the kingpin what any of his renewed hop":eless;;""manifesto will achieve or how his manifesto will improve the lives of Nigerians..?..before supporting & defending the Kingpin till today..?

..has he asked those who he defended to snatching & grabbing to show what they have achieved as regards their hope;:"less manifesto after 2 yrs of snatching..

..he is not even interested to know if what he was promised has favoured him & the lives of others & their families...only interested in a man whom they rigged out & said he has only " 4 people tweeting in a room"

..All the massacres & killings happening under his messiah guru strategist..he is also not interested to tell the kingpin to quit talking...releasing lies & propaganda..& instead secure the lives of Nigerians or Show how he will protect the lives or how he has been protecting their lives up to today...

..i don't know what is actually wrong with this group of people...they have totally lost it because of tribalism for kinsman..

Nice write up OP. However, the defenders of the Agulu fraud wil not come here to counter your submission with facts. They will only abuse.

I know their modus operandi. But we need to engage them whether we like it or not.

This is very on point. This open letter shows how Obi is chasing fantasy and not reality with all of his assertions.

We need to show them even they are blinded by hope Obi cannot bring in 20years even if he is president for 20years

You can be sure he will not with write a similar letter to Atiku in a million years

while not, Expect it this week. We are here to educate ourselves.

GreyWolf01:
So long (a ridiculous) letter.

Make demands of the man and party you supported.

If your life is better and your standard of living has improved since 2023, then you don't have to worry about Obi's talking points.


Here are 2 questions for you BAT/APC supporters.

1.) LIST 5 THINGS THAT GOT BETTER SINCE BAT BECAME PRESIDENT.

2. LIST 5 THINGS THAT GOT WORSE SINCE BAT BECAME PRESIDENT. (I'm sure there's at least 20 that can be listed here).

I believed you are passing through hardship, the reason is you don't dedicate most of your time for betterment of your future; you rather choose to attack a man GOD has blessed either you like it or not. My brother politicians do not worth dying for please plan for your future.

Wow, I love this.


Thank you Mr writer, we cherish honest, detribalized Nigerians like you who have an open mind.



As someone close to Peter Obi and one of his ardent supporter till the day he disappoints, I will respond to some on his behalf.


First, let me correct you, other regimes didn't delay the removal of petrol subsidy, instead it was Bola Tinubu himself that sabotaged and campaigned against the removal of petrol subsidy during Goodluck Jonathan's regime which would have been the best period to remove petrol subsidy when Ngozika Okonjo-Iweala that knows better advocated for it, Tinubu mobilized Nigerians from Ojota to protest against it until Goodluck being a listening and empathetic President listened and canceled the petrol subsidy removal. Now let's move forward haven set the records straight.



If you observe closely, Tinubu's regime copies a lot of Peter Obi's plan, they silently listens to Peter Obi and implement some of Obi's blueprint, I commend Tinubu on that.


Some of such blueprints are:


1.) State Police which Obi have been hammering on. Tinubu quicky dished it out but he still doesn't have the full confidence to fully implement it because he is scared that Governors, especially Northern Governors could use it against him in 2027.


Obi would have set the ball of State Police rolling since and by now, we would have been at the stage of assessing it's effectiveness and discussing how to refine it and correct some negativities in State Police, but Tinubu is not ready to implement it until he wins 2027 reelection.


2.) Second is, let me not go there for now.


Let's talk about Peter Obi's consumption to production economy blueprint. Mind you, I won't go into details because eyes are watching, Obi and we his close supporters have learned some lessons and still learning to guard our words.


You removed subsidy, if truly you did, trillions have been saved from doing that, what do you do with the trillions saved? Reinvest or re channel it to a more productive venture and be honest about it. The coastal highway from Lagos to Calabar is a national waste, it will add no economic value to Nigeria of today. We need short term and long term economic plans but with more focus on the short term plans to get us out of the woods faster before we are caught up.


The North have a versed fertile land that can turn Nigeria to agro hub of Africa and the world if managed properly. Why not channel part of the trillions saved from subsidy removal to that sector and forget about the coastal highway to perdition, a conduit pipe for looting?


Take State Policing serious to return safety to the North to encourage farmers to go back to their farms?


You want a productive economy and you still peg interest rate at about 25 to 30%, how do you expect production factories and entrepreneurs to borrow at such ridiculous rate and meet up? That interest rate is too high for a nation that wants to boost local production, Tinubu should take my tip and work on it.


Creating Blue economy ministry or so is not enough, what realistic projects have they embarked on or rolled out to empower Nigerian youths in reality and not just on paper and on media propaganda?


How can you remove petrol subsidy and also unpeg the FX at the same time and not expect a crippling economy afterwards? You do these things in batches while you observe the effects of each till things come in place.


Devaluation of Naira when Nigeria isn't exporting large quantity of finished products is shooting yourself on the leg.


Who said importation cripples a nation's economy? The only thing you must do is to ensure that you are exporting as much as you are importing until you are balanced enough to export more. But tightening import duties and restricting major/critical goods from being imported when you aren't comparatively producing enough locally will boomerang; it is the reason for the high cost of goods and hunger in Nigeria.


You focus on the things you have comparative advantage not otherwise.


If your climate is not good enough to produce enough local rice to feed your population at affordable price, why not forget about local production and import it and channel your energy and resources to other grains that you have a comparative advantage to grow locally instead of stopping rice importation that you know your climate cannot allow you to produce locally at a cheaper price than import no matter how much you invest in it?


America is a heavy import nation that depend hugely on China because many products they need are better imported cheaper from China while they focus on other goods they have comparative advantage on to boost their economy.


China does same.



Let me stop here, we don't want to be giving free economic blueprint again, I can be consulted for an affordable fee



Why is Tinubu scared of reforming our electoral system to make sure Nigerians elect their preferred leaders; from LGA to Federal level? That act alone will change the destiny of Nigeria for good because as soon as Nigerian politicians realize that only the people's votes can put and return them to office, they will start doing everything possible to lead well to please the masses and not some elites. It will reduce leadership corruption and negligence because every elected leader in Nigeria will take their role serious. Tinubu should work on that, Peter Obi will overhaul Nigeria's electoral system whether it would favor him or not, he will do it as a legacy he will be forever remembered for.

Court and Judges shouldn't be the people deciding who should lead Nigeria as it is today. Why must few men who call themselves Supreme Court Judges be the ones to decide the fate of electoral candidates after election? We must do a way with that to achieve a better nation if we are to remain one nation.

Bro., you really impressed me. I wish to have a further engagement with you and your principal and kindly advise the headless mob to sit down and reason too. This is an intellectual discourse and not beer-parlor arguments.

pandoragirigory:
Are you sure he will hear, because his headless mob are already mobbing you, that is how Ojukwu convince them to die in their millions with no question asked, in fact Kanu Nnamdi was worse in a more advanced environment they still prefer to die based on ignoring wisdom and knowledge, they defend Evans the kidnapper and the fraudulent Jamb girl despite the fact and truth are starring in the face.

This can only come from social media noisemaker and ignorant mind that knows nothing about the economy and the national dynamic. Glad that people ignored you, better to wallow in your ignorance.

Ignorance number one - You can't implement state police without a Constitutional amendment which requires the approval of state houses of assembly and that's an ongoing process as we speak..

Ignorance number two - money on subsidy removal has so far been redistributed among the states tripling their monthly allocations. Subsidy in itself belongs to the federation, it does not belong solely to the federal government. It is ignorant people that always think the federal government is pocketing subsidy funds removal. Oil revenue and all other income related to oil belong to all the States, the FG and the FCT, the funds goes into the federation account where it's shared among the federating units.

Ignorance number three - The CBN has been pegging the interest rate based off on microeconomics factors. You can't peg lower the interest rate when you're controlling high inflation, if it's pegged lower, it will lead to double Jeopardy. In an economy where excess money was printed by the last administration without corresponding productive activities leading to an erosion of naira value, the best you can do is mop up the excess liquidity and thereafter stabilize the naira. So far, the CBN is doing fantastic in that regards with consideration of the effects of FX arbitrage which puts unnecessary pressure on the dollar.

Ignorance number four - Tinubu did not devalue the naira, rather the naira was floated, this gives the naira it's true value and eradicated multiple exchange rate windows which had discouraged investors both home and foreign. Right now , investors confidence is high in Nigeria capital markets.

Ignorance number five - Nigeria can feed Africa enough to go round, however, we need to address the issue of insecurity. Food insecurity is not an aftermath of Govt policies but purely human factor. The security agencies are recording remarkable progress although lots still need to be done.

Let me leave the rest of your hogwash, I could see you quoting yourself with your alternative moniker to gloat in ignorance. Aside making noise on social media, you guys know nothing. The reason we most times dey ignore una to continue your noise and empty boasting.

That's what people who seek political offices do......

Before 2027 election he will start doing my head, my knee , my fingers my toes all belong to Jesus..... instead of coming for a debate to convince Nigerians that he knows what he is going to do.

Open Letter To Mr. Peter Obi: Nigerians Deserve More Than Talking Points

Could you please state just 1 thing that has improved economically in your everyday life within the last 2 years please?we are not looking at gdp,revenues here,government figures right?

what have you purchased under this last two years that is cheaper for you?-lets not stretch it just compare to buhari government - in your own personal life,what is that thing please?

Open Letter To Mr. Peter Obi: Nigerians Deserve More Than Talking Points

I'm not entirely sure that Mr Peter Obi owes you this explanation at this time. Why are you putting the cart before the horse? I am quite sure that Inec has not released 2027 election timetable so, it is premature to ask these stale questions at this point because campaigns are not yet. The Nigerian electoral landscape vis a vis the 2027 elections is still being shaped. Alignments and realignments will still occur, besides, why are you always particular about Peter Obi? Is he the only non APC presidential candidate or are you afraid of his emergence? Ask yourself these questions

And Tinubu is a disaster that u guys have failed to advice
You guys are so confused in this country bayi

Your current Messiah is destroying this country u no ask am question na person wey no dey power life dey pain una b cause una know that fact say e go do better pass una current failed government.

If not for pride, they would have reached out.


You guys should pray for Peter Obi to succeed and emerge Nigeria's President soonest, so that we can show you political sycophants how to lead and build a nation with practical results that the ordinary masses will feel and testify to

WriterX:
This is rubbish on an epic scale disguised as intelligence for zombies.




This so-called "open letter" masquerades as a balanced inquiry but is, in reality, a deeply flawed and ironic attempt to whitewash the catastrophic failures of the Tinubu administration by shifting the focus onto a man who currently holds no executive office—Peter Obi. It reeks of selective amnesia, partisan spin, and a gross misrepresentation of Nigeria’s current crisis. Here's a deafening critical response that dissects this letter point by point:


1. FALSE PREMISE OF ‘PERFORMANCE’: GASLIGHTING THE SUFFERING MASSES

The writer praises Tinubu’s administration for “performance” and “political will,” yet fails to mention:

The unprecedented hardship Nigerians are enduring under Tinubu—from hyperinflation, record naira devaluation, fuel prices exceeding ₦900/litre, to food insecurity at starvation levels.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported over 133 million Nigerians living in multidimensional poverty—a crisis worsened under Tinubu’s free-market dogmatism.

The removal of subsidies without a safety net plunged millions into chaos—transport fares tripled, power supply remains epileptic, and small businesses are folding by the day.


So when the letter boasts of “freed up fiscal space” from subsidy removal, the real cost is paid daily by dying Nigerians in markets, hospitals, schools, and homes. That is not reform. That is fiscal sadism.


2. LOPSIDED COMPARISONS: PETER OBI IS NOT IN OFFICE

This letter compares a sitting President with full executive powers to a man who merely contested and is not in office. That is a joke.

Peter Obi’s campaign promises were for when he becomes President. He was not elected. You cannot accuse a man of not implementing policies when you denied him the power to do so.

Meanwhile, Tinubu is in power, making policies now, and should be held accountable now.

Asking Obi for timelines and budget breakdowns while ignoring the abysmal results of the man in charge is the height of intellectual dishonesty.


If Obi had failed in office, then compare. But here, you’re comparing dreams to disasters.


3. ECONOMIC FREEFALL: IS THIS YOUR ‘RENEWED HOPE’?

The author lists Tinubu’s economic moves like CNG, tractors, and floating the naira—but forgets the explosion of suffering that came with them.

CNG? Over 90% of Nigerians can’t even afford cooking gas, let alone CNG vehicles.

Floating the Naira? FX policies under Tinubu sent the naira to ₦1,500/$ before temporary relief. And even now, food inflation remains over 40%.

Job creation? The 3MTT program is laudable on paper but remains a portal exercise with no large-scale impact. No massive job creation has materialized.


So where is the ‘work in progress’ when your progress is hunger, chaos, and more suicide reports?


4. SECURITY: THE BLOOD ON TINUBU'S WATCH

How dare the author question Obi's security plans while ignoring that:

Massacres and kidnappings have worsened under Tinubu—from Kaduna to Zamfara to Plateau—entire communities are being wiped out weekly.

State Police? Tinubu only made vague “talks” about it, but no concrete policy, funding, or constitutional amendments have materialized.

Obi, by contrast, consistently advocates decentralization, while Tinubu has used military suppression and ambiguity as security strategy.



5. EDUCATION, INFRASTRUCTURE: AN EMPTY SHELL OF WORDS

The open letter makes it seem like Tinubu’s feeding program and highway projects are groundbreaking. Reality check:

Education budget under Tinubu is abysmal. ASUU still grumbles, facilities rot, and millions of children remain out of school.

Coastal Highway? A vanity project prioritized over real productivity infrastructure, with costs that lack transparency.

Electricity? You praise 20,000MW ambition mockingly, but under Tinubu, power generation dropped, with over 130 grid collapses and ongoing blackouts.



6. FOREIGN POLICY: WHAT EXACTLY IS BEING REBUILT?

Tinubu “rebuilding” Nigeria’s global image? That’s ironic, because:

Nigerians abroad are being deported, rejected, mocked. The naira is practically worthless outside Nigeria.

Nigeria’s investment climate has been downgraded repeatedly due to policy instability, corruption, and poor infrastructure.

BRICS & G20? Attendance is not diplomacy. It’s what you do with it—and so far, it’s only photo ops.



7. POLITICAL CONSISTENCY: AN IRONIC ATTACK

You accuse Obi of switching parties—but fail to admit:

Tinubu’s loyalty is not to Nigeria, but to a cabal of cronies he built over 30 years.

Party loyalty means nothing when it delivers suffering. Nigerians are not looking for loyalty to party—they seek loyalty to progress and justice.

Obi’s platform switch is dwarfed by Tinubu’s documented use of fraudulent certificates, drug-related scandals, and opaque wealth.


So who really lacks consistency?



8. CORRUPTION: THE POT CALLING THE CLEAN KETTLE BLACK

You accuse Obi based on allegations—Pandora Papers and N250M in a trunk (with no prosecution)—yet ignore:

Tinubu’s Chicago mystery, Alpha Beta probe, drug trafficking settlement, bullion vans during elections, and unexplained properties.

Tinubu’s government is already shielding cronies. Just look at the scandalous reappointment of indicted politicians and refusal to publish subsidy savings.

So who really fears EFCC

THE REAL IRONY: "RENEWED HOPE" IS A CRUEL JOKE

"Renewed Hope" was a slogan. Now, it’s a national sarcasm.

Hospitals are empty, schools in shambles, hunger and theft rampant, and the middle class wiped out.

Yet this writer calls for Obi to show “costed proposals” as if that is the priority when the man they support is driving Nigeria into the ground daily.


This open letter is a poorly disguised attempt at image laundering. It is built on:

False equivalence

Selective praise

Omission of current suffering

Demonization of hope


The author says “truth is measured by results.” Then let the truth be deafening:

Under Tinubu, Nigeria is more insecure, poorer, hungrier, and angrier than it was a year ago.



So no, sir, this open letter isn’t a patriotic critique. It’s a dishonest distraction. And we refuse to let propaganda bury pain.

Obi may not be in power, but he remains a symbol of an alternative. And if this government was performing, you wouldn’t need to attack the man Nigerians hoped for—you’d be celebrating results.

But alas, you have none.



Let the silence be broken.
Let the lies be burned.
Let the people remember what real hope feels like.

And let this letter be torn apart by truth the writer has so far ignored in the lives of over 200+ million Nigerians out here hoping for a better Nigeria

A Rejoinder to your Rejoinder

Dear WriterX,

Thank you for taking the time to passionately respond to the open letter addressed to Mr. Peter Obi. Democracy thrives on engagement, debate, and divergent perspectives. However, when criticism begins to trade logic for outrage, and insight for invective, we risk mistaking volume for value. Let us then respond point-by-point—not in rage, but in reason.

1. On “Catastrophic Failures” and Tinubu’s Economic Agenda
Yes, the current economic terrain is harsh, that can never be disputed but inside this economy lies massive opportunities be taken advantage of by prepared Nigerians. But unlike past leaders who kicked the can down the road, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has chosen to confront Nigeria’s fiscal realities head-on. The fuel subsidy you lament gulped ₦11 trillion between 2015 and 2023—enough to build thousands of schools, hospitals, and roads.

You critics want painless reforms in a country with decades of structural decay. Unfortunately, economic chemotherapy is never pleasant, but it can save the patient. You call it “fiscal sadism”—we call it sustainable correction. No pain-free pathway exists from rentier dependency to productive modernity.

Did we expect short-term suffering? Yes. But unlike your sentimental rage, history will judge this administration not by the noise of subsidy removal, but by whether its investments in CNG transition, agricultural mechanization, 3MTT digital skills, and FX reforms reposition Nigeria over the next decade.





2. On Comparing Obi and Tinubu

You say Obi isn’t in office and thus shouldn’t be scrutinized. That’s disingenuous and dangerous.

Mr. Peter Obi offered himself for the highest office in the land and boldly claimed he had the answers to Nigeria’s existential problems. He voluntarily made promises, laid out plans, and presented himself as a reformer above all.

What we’re asking is simple: can we trust your alternative based on your record? His governorship, alliances, and post-election conduct are fair game in that inquiry. Public trust isn’t given for free. It must be earned with consistency, vision, and a tested moral compass—not just outrage at the incumbent.





3. On Economic Policy and Suffering

Your passion is noted, but your selectivity is obvious. You lament the naira at ₦1,500/$, but conveniently ignore that the previous government’s multiple exchange windows, artificial rates, and unsustainable subsidy regime led us to this brink.

You call the reforms “chaos,” but the global investment community calls them long overdue. The World Bank, IMF, and JP Morgan have acknowledged the direction—even if implementation has room for improvement.

3MTT isn’t just a portal. It’s part of a structured digital strategy to retrain 3 million Nigerians for the jobs of the future. No previous government—even with oil windfalls—tried to invest in tech skills at that scale.





4. On Security

Yes, insecurity persists—but let us not insult our collective memory.

Under Jonathan and Buhari, we saw bombings in the heart of Abuja, military barracks overrun, schoolgirls kidnapped en masse with little response. Under Tinubu, military morale is higher, technology investments are up, and inter-agency cooperation is growing.

Are we there yet? No. But progress is measurable.

You claim Peter Obi’s decentralization theory is better— but this can only be achieved with all states ready to participate in it. And the national assembly start the process.





5. On Infrastructure and Education

You call the coastal highway a “vanity project.” That’s convenient—until you realize it links 9 states, generates over 30,000 jobs, and enables faster movement of goods between ports and markets.

You ignore the ongoing rail expansion, airport concession plans, and educational loans scheme introduced by this government—initiatives rooted in structure, not slogans.

Yes, ASUU is grumbling—but for the first time, federal government cleared ₦470 billion in withheld salaries, began implementing the Student Loan Act, and is reviving TETFund accountability.





6. On Foreign Policy

Nigeria’s return to the global stage isn’t a photo-op. It’s strategic re-entry.

You say BRICS and G20 presence is empty—but global investment inflows have increased, including Siemens in power, Exxon and Shell recommitting to Nigeria, and UAE resuming flights post-diplomatic reset. You don’t get those by mere “attendance.” You get it by restoring credibility.





7. On Consistency and Character

Party defection is a reality in Nigerian politics—but your defence of Obi’s serial party-hopping as “irrelevant” is intellectually dishonest.

He moved from APGA to PDP to LP, all in pursuit of ticket—not ideology. Meanwhile, Tinubu has built and stayed in the same political structure for decades, creating a national party out of regional platforms. That’s consistency in nation-building, not opportunism.

As for scandals—you cite allegations but ignore legal outcomes. No Nigerian court has convicted Tinubu of corruption. Obi himself has yet to fully explain his offshore assets in Pandora Papers despite his anti-corruption posture.





8. On Obi as a Symbol

Symbols don’t solve problems. Leadership does.

You claim Obi is just a beacon of hope. That’s not enough. Hope must be grounded in deliverables, not vibes.

We criticize him not because he is in power—but because he aspires to be. He has a right to dream, and we have a right to vet that dream.





POLITICAL DEBATE, NOT PROPAGANDA

The original letter you attacked was not propaganda. It was a challenge to those who romanticize the past and demonize the present without proposing anything new.

Nigeria’s future cannot be built on rage, insults, or one-man messianism. It will be built through painful reforms, difficult trade-offs, and a clear sense of accountability—for those in office and those seeking it.

You may disagree with President Tinubu. You may hope for Obi. That’s your right. But disagreement must be rooted in facts, not fury. We must never let political bitterness blind us to nuance or maturity.

Let’s rise above hysteria and do the hard work of nation-building. That is the true spirit of democracy.

With measured conviction.

awesomeDave:
I'm not entirely sure that Mr Peter Obi owes you this explanation at this time. Why are you putting the cart before the horse? I am quite sure that Inec has not released 2027 election timetable so, it is premature to ask these stale questions at this point because campaigns are not yet. The Nigerian electoral landscape vis a vis the 2027 elections is still being shaped. Alignments and realignments will still occur, besides, why are you always particular about Peter Obi? Is he the only non APC presidential candidate or are you afraid of his emergence? Ask yourself these questions

Someone said he will contest in 2027, you are waiting for timetable. There is no better to question your ambition than now.

ClearFlair:
Peter Obi should never respond to people who support incompetence because they will never understand his responses

He should because this is a democracy and I have right to question and he has right to answer #2027IsNotFar #Peterobianswerus #Nigeriafirst

Excellentmind:
This failed from the begging government has nothing to brandish as achievement no matter how hard one tries. This is because hearsay policies are counterproductive, particularly when the arrowhead adopting and implementing them is bereft of knowledge and an expression of ignorance in economic matters. Now the suffering of the people the government is meant to protect using fiscal and monetary policies has been exacerbated due to lack of basic economic knowledge. Today, Tinubu has done his best and his best has brought woes other than good, therefore, he must go or be chased out in 2027.

.. Sometimes we need to sit back and take helicopter view of a forest to see the bigger picture and not just looking at the chaos at the ground level.

SeeWahala:
All these Agbad0id e-thugs want Peter obi to stage a protest first before they take him seriously hehehe 🤣😂

In 2023 Peter Obi was available on all debating platforms making his plans known to everyone while tilumbu was hiding in France and dodging the media. Now you have the temerity to ask all these jamb questions? From obi and not ebilokan?

You go fear set-up op, abeg carry your vote and give your tilumbu in peace oooo 😏

Peter Obi was rather beating about the Bush with no concrete steps to actualize his consistent lies and yiyr respons shows the depth of your dullness

franchasofficia:
I see your Minister of Finance, CBN Governor, etc taking notes from my comments while commoners like you gloat about.


If not for pride, they would have reached out.


You guys should pray for Peter Obi to succeed and emerge Nigeria's President soonest, so that we can show you political sycophants how to lead and build a nation with practical results that the ordinary masses will feel and testify to

It would have been better if Abacha was alive, maybe he could have helped him get another appointment at the Nigerian port because a fraud that increased poverty in his state as Governor has no business being an LG Chairman much less a Governor or President. Maybe you're one of his "famous advisers" roaming on the street of Onitsha he claimed always give him advice. Little wonder, he failed woefully.
Next time, be mindful how you talk ignorantly on a public forum especially in a bid to exhibit crass ignorance on microeconomics issues beyond your understanding being a trader.

..if you are reasonable..the OP should have first asked those who he brought to power..how well they has done in the past 2 yrs..

..it is hightime he should have asked the kingpin to show how the renewed hopeless agenda has favoured him & his family..

..why ask someone you never believed in at first to show prove of what he would have done after rigging him out. & forget about a man whose policies are actually affecting his existence...

..make that make sense....

Have you ever reasoned that there are some unbiased Nigerians who don't give a fûck about tribalism?
All the op wrote were valid. Relax, hoebee too go rule. When it will happen you don't know.

franchasng:
Bola Tinubu and his team should come to me for an affordable paid economic blueprint that will turn things around for good for all Nigerians

As Cosmas Maduka or Innoson or What? You are free to offer your advise here..

This is why I came out to write this. So we can make him put concrete foundation under his dreams.

See this fvvl, you are not asking the Leprechaun in Aso Rock what he wants to do to turn our lives around, you are here acting the fvvl
Typical Yoruba coward, they leave the real issue and focus on shadows😏
