The silence about the 30k deaths in 4 weeks from Iran is telling

No Jews no News

Isn't this ironical coming from you? The same you that constantly denied the atrocities of idf and their counterpart in baby killings?

30k? That's too small. It's actually 300k. Yeah, that's actually what your big daddy and yahoo boy tried to achieve but they failed as they will always be!

Ibime:
Bell finally rolled on sweet grandmother yesterday morning, 3 months shy of her 103rd birthday. Though her senior brother was always adamant she was born in 1922 and not 1923 as she claimed, so she may have been 103 already. A great innings for a great woman who spent 60 years of her life adopting and training dozens of children beside her own from her 30s and well into her 90s.

RIP mama.

What a remarkable life she lived...

We have mastered white elephant projects.

The roads across the west and east of kogi state are very bad. It's insane for such Governor to think of constructing a white elephant project in a state that's very close to Abuja with airport when such funds can be used judiciously.


It's a misplaced priority!

popizaino:
Is the road from Ankpa to Olamaboro LGA area tarred already?

Help me ask him oooo. The one in kogi west is worse. No sign of government presence in most part of the zone yet the fake flower is interested in white ant becoming a senator.

Reccy right now

In every sphere of politics, we best them. In every form they come, we are always ahead of them. We beat them at the poll, at the court twice and at the grassroots level, the people are with the Amazon.

So, this one is just one of our regular wins. We awaits the EFCC customer by 2027. The white ant will cry blood.

raumdeuter:
How is it medicine after death?

He promised and broke the promise.

He promised that there would be no more strike yet, strike happened.

What says thou?

Any updates on ASUU strikes

No strike for now. To me, it's medicine after death.

izzou:
Are both of them from the same Senatorial Zone?

Very well boss. Reason for all those shenanigans he put out then. From arranging sham recall where we exposed him and his sponsorer to the court where we beat him and his cronies to the Senate brouhaha where the people's senator prevailed over the evils and darkness that plunged our people to untold hardship and deaths during his reign.


THIS TIME WILL ALSO NOT BE DIFFERENT!

Exercise in futility.

Power drunkard man wants to return to the cookie to continue his looting spree.

Like we knocked him out twice the other time, this time will not be different.

We await him both at the poll and in the jungle .

🔸Living in Nigeria does not give anyone the monopoly of truth.

🔸Being outside Nigeria does not erase concern or connection.

🔸Living abroad does not disqualify anyone from commenting on the issues facing Nigerians and Nigeria.

🔸Distance no be ignorance. Sometimes it gives clarity and enables people to assess situations better. Person no gats dey inside fire to know say the house dey burn.

🔸Many people abroad still send money home, pay rent, pay school fees, support relatives and feel every policy failure/success through their loved ones.

🔸Even in Nigeria, there are people who support/oppose the current government.

🔸The NL abroadians that support this government do so due to reasons best known to them.

🔸Whether Nigeria-based or Abroadian, support or oppose who you want and stop throwing around labels.

Geographical location does not confer superiority of opinion. I rest my fingers.

Take a bow. You try

Ellexy:
Nihilist seems to be the demon you can't exorcise, very powerful he haunts you night and day. You see him practically in any thing that clashes with your beliefs, he's always in the shadows plotting, creating alternate monikers just to mock you and get under your skin. He enjoys tormenting you by playing hide and seek with different monikers and watching you try to unmask those monikers.

It's very accurate to say he lives rent free in your subconscious, a place you’ve turned into his comfort zone simply by the attention you keep feeding it. Ironically, starving him of that attention might make him disappear but your ability to see him in the shadows is just too strong.

To an outside observer like me, it’s a fascinating, almost tragic spectacle to behold every time.

Calm down Mr and break it down for me. I'm getting old these days.

What do you mean by the bolded? What are you trying to imply. Please don't do word play with me fah ,😡😡😡😡

Kogi state polytechnic was turned into Marathon Arena today when rumours had it that those terrorists are within the school premises and kidnapping students. The confusions, shouting and commotions were sadly funny and satanically mesmerising

students oooo, lecturers oooo, the security personnel, everybody japa to different bearings.

It took the efforts of the Governor and the Rector to restore normalcy. Even at that, most parents don recall their wards.


It's funnily pathetic situations. What's more pathetic and scaring is the fact that the Governor admitted that the bandits leaders are in the state and they're ready to take fight to them. Nah dat one I hear and I sharperly recall my sister. She no dy go anywhere again. Make she go learn skills .

KingTom:
I don't like him as a person but I can't deny when it came to security he gave 💯. In Okene he gave out two mansions to house Army personnel, Army special forces personnel, Federal SARS and MOPOL DOPS Attack! Security was top notch, I can't even imagine how bad it would've been if he didn't step in the way he did, he also provided unlimited funds to ease their operations

Someone said imagine Yahaya Bello as minister of defence?

As funny as this comes, I think he will do well compare to the current one.
