Sentences of an average politician!

I am a great fan of Obama, but these would not fly! They have a way of making back those expenses in million folds!

Trump donated all his salary for 4 years but made it back in folds!

Jared and Ivanka trump made millions in just 4 years!

And a politician is here telling me they pay their expenses sometimes!

American politicians are just smarter!


We call it "bribe" in Nigeria, they call it "lobbying"


Same Obama became president with a net worth of about $1.3 million and now worth $70 million

Can someone explain what happened?

I really don't understand your point, but if you're trying to insinuate there's corruption and stealing of money by American politicians, I beg to disagree.

We may say no system is 100% perfect or clean, but if your insinuation is a means of justifying or exonerating the greedy Nigerian politicians who loot and reloot the country dry, then I beg to disagree.

There's no way to even start comparing their leaders with ours in any way. Lastly, don't forget to look at their country, their working economy, and true services to their citizens in every way.

I love the Obama family, Michelle is a very down to earth woman.

The best US first lady, she endured so much nonsense from White supremacists

In Nigeria, government officials allocate budget every year for food, vehicles and other frivolities

Tinubu and some of our state governors are example

I won't lie to you bro, when I first heard it I was shocked to my bones. Honestly, we still have a long way to go. May God help us.

Michelle Obama, the former First Lady of the United States, has confirmed the reports that U.S. presidents pay for their meals and other personal effects.

Michelle Obama, during a talk show on CNN, revealed, 'They tell you you can order anything, and they listen very carefully because everybody listens to every word the president says. I used to tell Barack, don't say you want something, because then we will have like thousands of it, and then, you know, we are paying for it…

She went on to reveal that though they don't pay rent and they don't pay for staff, 'everything, every dish, they will count, even the number of peanuts that you eat, and charge it back, and you get a bill at the end of it.'"

Similarly, the Guardian reported Laura Bush said “After our first year in the White House, our accountant said to George (W Bush), ‘It costs a lot to be president,’ and he was referring mainly to my clothes.”

She also paid “with our own money” for someone to blow-dry her hair most mornings “just so I could try to avoid a bad hair day.”

The Guardian conveyed Laura Bush's statement: "After our initial year in the White House, our accountant informed George (W Bush), 'Being president is expensive,' specifically referencing my wardrobe."


In another report by WASHINGTON (AP) , it says, — There’s no free lunch — or breakfast or dinner — for President Barack Obama on Thanksgiving Day. Or any other day for that matter.

He has to dig into his pocket to pay for his holiday feast of turkey, ham, two kinds of stuffing, sweet and regular potatoes and six different kinds of pie. It’s a longstanding practice that a president pays for meals for himself, his family and personal guests.

Obama also pays for other basics — everything from toothpaste to dry cleaning.

WHY IS THAT?
Gary Walters, who was chief White House usher for many years, said the payment rule dates back to 1800 when the White House was first occupied by President John Adams and there was no staff. Presidents brought staff with them and paid for everything.


Congress gradually began spending money to maintain an official White House staff to oversee operations and maintenance, but presidents continued to pay for personal expenses.

What it boils down to, Walters said, is that the White House is first and foremost the president’s home.

If you are in a man's house on a first date by midnight, sister, use your brain na. That's not dating. You have come for marriage. So you be prepared to do what married people do

It got dark and too late to go back home😁😁😁

Hmmm. The Police should just be very careful, protest in the North isn't like protest in other places.

Listen to this young man and you will understand:

A beautiful young lady has taken to social media to express her distress over the incessant demand for sex from men on the first date. In the video, the young lady, visibly upset, wonders if this experience is unique to her.

She expresses her shock at instances where men go as far as kicking women out of their houses at midnight if they decline to have sex with them.

In tears, she expresses her desire not to be beautiful or shapely, wishing that these incidents wouldn't happen to her. She believes that her beauty and shape are the reasons men are eager to sleep with her.

Shikena gaskiya mana.
Return correct copies, burn counterfeit ones.
And don't dare do any protest

Is that easy?

Seriously, the judiciary needs to wake up now to avoid unnecessary riots and destructions of any kind.
Such mistake shouldn't even happen in the first place. Look at what happened yesterday in Kano, protests - leading to destruction of public properties.

Listening to this guy that was interviewed by channel TV, I shivered:

Right?

In Kano state, a protest has erupted following the recent Appeal Court judgment in the governorship election. The police successfully dispersed the demonstrators along the Dan Agundi area of the state.

Concurrently, as reported by a protester interviewed on channel TV, earlier this morning, concerned Kano citizens organized a peaceful prayer in a mosque.

However, following the prayers, the Nigerian police allegedly opened fire on them. Expressing his discontent, the protester stated, "This is akin to open-day robbery; APC is attempting to transform the Nigerian political system into a one-party structure, and this will not be tolerated."

He emphasized their commitment to persist with the protest in Kano, refusing to vacate the venue. He appealed to fellow Nigerians for support, requesting provisions of food and water to sustain them during the ongoing demonstration.

The interviewed protester disclosed that Ganduje is the one behind the issue in Kano, saying Abba is who they elected as their governor. APC is a fraud. Also, they are at the protesting ground to die for Abba. It's either the police kill them, the protesters, or Ganduje is killed. They will not leave the protest until justice prevail; enough is enough.

Funny Reactions on X

A Canadian resident took to her social media platform to caution Africans planning to move to Canada. She suggests that while promises of jobs are made, the nature of these jobs is often undisclosed. According to her, many Africans end up in roles Canadians avoid, such as cleaning or farming.

She further explains that most Africans migrating to Canada held respectable positions in Africa, like working in banks. However, upon arrival in Canada, they often find themselves in roles like sweeping or farming. Although they are paid for such odd jobs, she emphasizes that leaving a good job for menial tasks in Canada is disrespectful.

Additionally, she points out that when Canadians go to African countries, they usually secure higher positions, contrasting with the situation for Africans relocating to Canada.

However, people on X, formerly known as Twitter, responded humorously.

Good. I don't think anyone should sympathize with people that use hospitals and schools as shield for firing rockets:

You people should stop blaming Spirituality, Witches and Wizards in every situation in life.

During 50s,most people must harvested the karmas they cultivated during their 20s,30s to 40s.

Hmmm, It's okay to be woke, but denying the existence of the obvious is not just healthy.

A quick life story: there was a man living very close to our house back then, an old-time friend of his that he has helped in the past offered a scholarship to one of his children, but the man decided to present the son of his second wife who happened to be the 4th child of the family for the scholarship.

His first wife confronted the man, telling him her own son, who is even the first of the family, should be the one to be given the scholarship and not the second wife's son.

However, the man refused to yield, and that led to a serious fight, a lot of fights in the family. According to the man, he preferred the second wife's son because he is way more intelligent and very serious with school than the first wife's son, who isn't very bright academically.

To cut the story short, during one of the fights, the first wife was heard saying, “let him go, he will come back the same way he goes, he will come back to drink garri.”

Fast forward to 2 years later, the guy returned to Nigeria, abandoning his study for no reason. On one occasion when queried, he said not much access to garri there, and he can't survive such a place.

The guy's life has never been the same since he returned. If you see the guy now, you will never believe he has ever traveled abroad before.

So, what will you call that? A mere coincidence?

See, let's be “woke,” but please let's not be ignorant of the evil that exists in this world o.

Serves him right

Hmmm
