Stop making yourself an object of severe ridicule on this forum.

We have reiterated countlessly to your deaf ears that President Muhammadu Buhari is the people's choice and will effortlessly win again at the forthcoming poll.

You can wail all you wish but there is a way to always end that - taking a bold jump on 3rd mainland bridge.

Na today

I advice him to keep quiet and peaceful plan on how to leave Aso rock like GEJ did by taking billions into his account and disappear.



I tire for those who read all the trash I didn't.

#Team_Nnamdi_Kanu_For_President

promise and fail bubu
he'll promise the same thing again next yr.

I promise him he'll have all the time for his cows soon.

Fake and empty promises.

Since Buhari assumed office, he has spent N1 trillion on works and housing but not a single project. Most Nigerian roads are in sorry sight.

Most of the railways buhari is going to rehabilitate/build were all initiated, most completed by Jonathan. Buhari is looking to just paint the rails and claim it as his project.

Jonathan built more than 3 power plants begore leaving office. How exactly is buhari adding more MW to the grid if he has not built a single power plant since he resumed office?

Lies and empty promises. It's another election year.

If you did not fulfill half of the promises made the first time,
You have no moral right to make another one.

Hisses

I hope he does not think this is 2015 election campaigns, since he is even confused about his age.

Your failure in the 2019 will be epic.
