This is my own Representative. What's your Rep doing?

It seems we've gotten it right in Oyo State this time.

I agree with you.

Something is right with Oyo State.

Nice development if he can work the talks ...

Hunger and poverty is more dangerous than police brutality in Nigeria.

Why this is surely commendable, Akin Should be looking into poverty elevation schemes.

Akin just launched ₦250M poverty alleviation for Egbeda and Ona-Ara women. This would be spread for 4 years.

That said, I think people would appreciate this in the long run. The level of police brutality and "Ọmọ Onílè" issues around that axis is very alarming.
