How pls

Been reading a few weak-brained and lily-livered comments on here plus a few anecdotes that don't quite cut it with the scenario on ground. Don't lend out ur brains before hitting the keypads.

A president or governor should be the CSO of his country or state. He protects the State against external aggression and also leads the charge against any forms of internal insurrections else he's a traitorous SOB just using State office and resources to commit treason.

Two, in a situation where the faceless Fulani men have been decried and denied even by the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association as mostly Chadians, Camerronians and co; is Gov Fayose to fold arms & wait until match on Ekiti State Govt House itself and wring his own neck before he acts?!

Pray, you placative apologists, of whose "suffering-&-smiling", Fela sang and prophecied so long ago & yet u're still on dat same long thing...JUST WHEN DOES PUSH GETS TO SHOVE?!

Folks were killed mercilessly and raped in the East; we matched, protested and wailed and were told to go home and fast and pray!

Mr Buhari is openly undermining common-sense and the Land Use Act. Setting aside the Confab Reports that advocate modernized Biotech methods in ranching rather than haphazard grazing which produces malnourished cattle. But what does your President do instead?

He's trying to hoodwink a whole nation to please some nomadic wanderers.

Pls, leave Fayose alone abeg. Go and tell your governors to go and do likewise joor.
