A US passport holder does not need visa to travel to 140 countries. OYO to the signatories.

What's so special in uk

Rokiat:
Proper hygiene is key.

Let her keep it hair free waxed or laser. Laser is even better completely hair free. Best investment ever.

She shouldn’t use soap down there it will only upset the ph balance. But she should definitely keeps the surrounding clean, in between the labia. Let her get dove baby wash just for that but only for in between the labia not the vaginal itself the vaginal only water will do.


Also let her wash with water every time she use the toilet, not toilet roll, actual water to always keep it fresh.

Let her also keeps it moisturised with nice body butter mix with almond oil it smell great. Treat the kitten like you would treat your face, delicate and with proper care.

Twice a day bathing no compromise, like minimum.

Last but not least let her drink chlorophyll, like literally she wouldn’t have one body odour she will smell like water like nothing no joke.

This is my routine and my man wonders how come I don’t smell like at all at all, not even after a gym session.

Women have to take hygiene very seriously, smelling good is even better to me than even looking good.




If none of these works then she may have an infection and she needs to be checked.

Let her also keeps it moisturised with nice body butter mix with almond oil it smell great. Treat the kitten like you would treat your face, delicate and with proper care.

Nah wah, all this for kpekus :

I think Obi will learn a lesson here and not waste the courts time.

BAT is our president elect.
May Allah ease the task for him

*WHAT PRESIDENT-ELECT BOLA TINUBU OWES NIGERIANS; WHAT NIGERIANS OWE THE IN-COMING PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU*
*By*
*PROF. YEMI OKE, Ph.D, FCTI, FCArb.*
---------------------------------------------
*This is in the spirit of the Holy, blessed Month of Ramadan.*

Elections have come and gone. The battle now shifts to the arena of the legal profession that produces lawyers, as practitioners and Judges or Justices, as adjudicators. At this stage, my profession takes over, as INEC, candidates and their supporters become mere “spectators”.

The above notwithstanding, the act of serious, progressive and purposeful governance must immediately commence and continue pending legal battles.

The President-Elect is no longer for the APC. He has declared that he is for APC as much as for PDP, LP, and other major political parties in Nigeria. More importantly, he has also declared that the new administration will govern for the benefit of those who voted for or against it.

This makes the task of the up-coming administration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the President-Elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria a matter of national and institutional obligations to Nigerians and for Nigeria. But, the flip side of good governance shows that followership also plays a major role in the success or failure of leadership.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that, in Nigeria, it takes good followership to have good governance. Conversely, it takes an inefficient, bad leadership for the manifestation of the negative effects of bad followership.

The above brings me to the six (6) key issues on balance of responsibilities between the in-coming President and Nigerians, captioned: *What President-Elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu Owes Nigerians; What Nigerians Owe in-Coming President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.*

(1) *Responsive Leadership vs Patriotic Followership*

At this point in the vulnerability of the Nigerian polity, it is a matter of institutional responsibility for the new administration to ensure a major shift in paradigm and avoid needless politicking over and above national interest in appointments, governance and sharing of dividends of democracy.

Nigerians had been assured and promised, while on the streets, fields and market squares campaigning that the new administration will be constituted by decent, knowledgeable, responsible and high-performing professionals who will deploy their skills and talents to solve national problems.

Nigerians owe it as a sacred national duty and responsibility to support the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We must avoid petty criminalities that undermine good governance in all our endeavours. We are not doing Bola Tinubu a favour by being responsible citizens, we are just tasking the leadership to reciprocate the gesture with responsive and responsible leadership and governance.

(2) *Security of Lives and Properties*

This is basic and fundamental. Quite frankly, it is the essence of governance, being the primary responsibilities of government at all levels.

Developed countries hardly fence their properties because fellow citizens or residents will not need to invade their homes. Criminal elements are mindful that the systems will definitely detect and maximally punish them for criminality.

The duty of the new administration is to strictly enforce the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria against any erring persons, irrespective of political, social or economic affiliation. It is a sacred obligation of all Nigerians, irrespective of status, to abide by the laws of the country. Common excuses of poverty and joblessness as basis for cyber criminalities and sundry crimes should never be acceptable.

President Tinubu can never and will never be the victim but you and I are, as common Nigerians.


(3) *Electricity and Power Sector Reforms*

This, to me, is a passion. Please recall my earlier article captioned *"How Bola Tinubu Presidency May Approach and Solve Power Sector Challenges"* (dated December 16, 2022, available on-line) and the numerous media interviews, books, articles, and my inaugural lecture titled: *“An Answer’ In Search of ‘A Question’: A Pioneer’s Prognosis of the Nigerian Electricity Law”* and other experts’ interventions by others, which would sufficiently have addressed the power sector challenges.

After about two decades of consistent advocacies, the Federal Government recently backed-off from over-centralisation (Federalization) of the national grid system. While acknowledging that the constitutional amendment is long-overdue, being the highpoint point of my theory, *Decentralsied Energy Options-DEOPs*, sadly, only one out of the twenty-point (20) power sector reforms initiatives has been complied with.

The new administration owes it a duty to revisit and aggressively but positively re-structure the Nigerian power sector. Nigerians owe it a duty to pay bills for the electricity consumed, as it is a crime to consume electricity and not pay while it is also wrong to pay for electricity not consumed. Added to this, the regulator should be much more effective and responsive.


(4) *Office of National Academic Adviser*

The imperative of an *Office of National Academic Adviser (NAA)* has been well stated in my article titled *“Tinubu Presidency, Academic Affairs and Students of Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria”* (dated January 8, 2023, available on-line).

The peculiarities of academic issues and challenges in our tertiary institutions is not one that could be addressed only under the existing bureaucratic structures of the Ministry of Education, National Universities Commission (NUC), National Board of Technical Education (NBTE) and others. Any attempt to subject the issue of tertiary education, the student loan scheme, sustained quality of tertiary education, welfare of academic and non-teaching staff of tertiary institutions, incessant strikes by ASUU and other unions in our universities, including polytechnics and colleges of education and sundry challenges under the existing bureaucracy might undermine the efficiency of policy measures aimed at dealing with the challenges.

This is one of the reasons why the *Office of National Academic Adviser* is a matter of national imperative.

The reciprocal obligations on students, staff and other stakeholders in the tertiary education sector is an improved quality of teaching and research, and consequently, positive impacts on national productivity, growth and development.


(5) *Economic Development, Youth and Wealth Creation*

All is certainly not well with Nigeria’s economy. Expectations are very high on all campaign promises made on economic recovery, wealth creation, youth and entrepreneurial development.

A critical mass of Nigerian youth, otherwise called the “JAPA generation” and bad elements called "cyber-gangsters (yahoo boys and girls" might ordinarily not have resorted to leaving the country or taking to cyber criminality as an option if viable alternatives are created.

The new administration must, as a matter of institutional responsibility, create and stimulate opportunities for wealth generation for teeming Nigerian youth(s).

The youth owe it a duty to give the administration of Aswiaju Bola Tinubu a chance, and build the nation with him and his administration while those who have perpetually opted for criminalities can be identified and dealt with as isolated cases.


(6) *Health and Heath Institutions*

The sad conviction, today, of the Former Deputy Senate President of Nigeria, Senator Ike Ekeremadu leaves a sour taste in our mouth as Nigerians. Our health institutions have largely failed or are failing. Infrastructure in our teaching, general hospitals including tertiary health institutions and clinics are abysmally poor and deplorable.

The "Ekeremadus" of this country and other Nigerians often opt to travel abroad for medical treatments in the hands of the same Nigerian doctors and other medical professionals who are doing “wonders” in foreign health institutions having been forced to relocate abroad amidst deplorable working environment and conditions of service.

The new administration owes it a duty to urgently reverse the ugly trends while Nigerians also owe reciprocal obligations to look after their health, live well and responsibly, and also avoid patronizing quackery practice/practitioners of medicine and medication.

*Conclusion*

The above six (6) items are certainly not exhaustive, but only a list of assumed priorities of the country.

Infrastructure, revenue and others are also inclusive. It is a long list of expectations of Nigerians on the new, coming administration of the President-Elect, Asiwju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

*Nigerians owe it a duty to support and cooperate with their new President to do his utmost best to ensure that the country works for all of us. Doing this would not be a favour done to the new President but as a sacred duty we owe ourselves and Nigeria, our dear Country.*

*God forbid: if the coming administration of Aswiaju Bola Tinubu fails or is caused or made to fail, all of us as Nigerians would have failed, and fail woefully. The consequences or effects will be on us as Nigerians*.

*If we support the new President to succeed, it is certainly a gain for all of us. We all then become direct beneficiaries of a better and prosperous Federal Republic of Nigeria.*

*Now that the season of politics, politicking and electioneering is over, it is time for all of us to collaborate, team-up and get Nigeria working again under PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU*.

*This GIANT called NIGERIA must rise, and never fall again!*

Pat Utomi is the man Tinubu used to break PDP. He was the one that took Obi to Labour Party. He was the one that assured Obi that he will run for Presidency under LP, he was with Obi everywhere.

*If Obi had remained in PDP, Atiku would have won the election. It was important for the Asiwaju camp that Obi becomes independent. After the election have you seen Pat Utomi with Obi again?.*

Wait for his appointment under this administration. He is tipped to Head the Economic Revitalization office alongside Sanusi Lamido.

What do you know?. When we call Jagaban a strategist you will be making noise.

*SE was the battleground, Obi was the main pawn, Igbo Presidency was the bait, Obidients were the foot soldiers, Atiku was the loser, Pat Utomi was the facilitor, Asiwaju is the General.*

*JAGABAN THE GAME MASTER.*

LOOKING AT OBI'S PETITION WITH A LAWYER'S INSIGHT
Looking at Peter Obi's petition, as Lawyer, one can't help but wonder what was going on inside Mr. Livy Uzokwu's (SAN) head and mind when he was penning down those " weighty" grounds 😃😃😂😂😂

Igbo kwenu!! Una weldone ooh!
The learned silk, Mr. Livy Uzokwu is challenging the 2023 Presidential election results on 5 "Unbelievably baseless grounds".

GROUND 1

That the president-elect was not qualified to contest.
To buttress this ground, in an election petition, The learned silk is relying on a case bothering on a civil proceeding against the president-elect alleging fine on drug trafficking in the U.S.
S. 131 of the extant 1999 Constitution lays down requirements to satisfy for eligibility to contest for the office the president i.e. you must be a Nigerian citizen, upto 40 years of age, must be sponsored by a political party and must have been educated upto secondary school or it's equivalent.
Unless your petition challenging the eligibility of a candidate to contest for the office of the president falls within any of the requirements mentioned under the enabling provisions of S. 131(a-d) of the CFRN 1999, I can't see how the Election Petition Tribunal can entertain it.

Election Petition Tribunals are not regular courts, they are special courts with special/specific jurisdiction and their powers are narrowly define. Unlike regular courts, they are not to consider matters too extranenous or tangential to the specific provisions of the constitution and the Electoral Act directly in issue. Mr. Livy as a SAN should have known this.

The alleged drug case Obi is relying on is not a conviction, it's a forfeiture proceeding, a purely civil matter, hence how can that be a ground for disqualification?

OTHER GROUNDS
Obi also wants the tribunal to declare him the winner of the Feb. 25th elections having scored the majority vote!!! 😳😳. Can you believe this?
Obi came a distant 3rd trailing PDP by almost 1million votes and APC by about 2Million votes.

I am not sure he can ask for this prayer unless he also joins Atiku Abubakar and his party too, the PDP, since Atiku scored more votes than him. For him to be declared winner, he has to also seek to nullify some of Atiku's vote.

Unfortunately, there is no room for amendment under the Electoral Act. There is no room for joinder of party as this will amount to seeking an amendment which is not allowed.

Obi is also asking for two mutually contradictory reliefs/prayers at the same time, you can't be asking the court to confirm you the winner of an election which are claiming to be flawed. He asked the court to declare him the winner in one breathe and on other breathe he is asking the court to nullify the entire election and order a new one. You cannot aprobate and reprobate at the same time.

Perhaps the most laughable of all the prayers is the one asking the tribunal to order a new elections and bar ASIWAJU from contesting. This is plainly impossible. A tall order.

On the vexing issue of the FCT and the failure to secure 25%, I think there is nothing to say. There is already a judicial authority settling this issue. All the Tribunal needs to do is to reiterate the position of the Supreme Court.

If this is what they intend to confront the team of lawyers led by Olanipekun and Fagbemi with, then Obi and his team of lawyers are jokers.

Eeya, it takes a lot to remove a cjn in Nigeria. In between, since the creation of Obi by Pat Utomi, I hardly believe anything I read or photos i see on the internet. These Obi supporters are lords in lying..

SLOVFO:
Yoruba propaganda machine going on overdrive. God help us... instead of some people to admit their mistake and ask God for forgiveness and mercy they are trying to justify some "bullshit".

Education could be an healing process. They must succumb eventually

You just started dreaming..you will decamp eventually

*ASK NOT WHAT YOU CANNOT GIVE.*

1..Dr. Alex Otti is an IGBO MAN from Isiala-ngwa area of Abia State. He has ALWAYS been identified to be from there.

But today, the same Ngwa people say Otti is a FOREIGNER IN ABIA by virtue of the area of Ngwa that he comes from.

They are of the opinion that he isnt an "original Ngwa man".

They say he is "Not Abia enough" to be the Governor of their state!!!

It is what has caused all the wahala in Abia State Guber.

He has won eventually but I can imagine that he will have problems.

2. Not too long ago, in this 4th Republic , a Yoruba man who had stayed forever in ONITSHA went beyond this boundaries.

He wanted to contest COUNCILORSHIP POSITION in one of their WARDS in that town.

Ordinary Councilor o!!!

They told him to clear out but he didn't understand.

He was summarily liquidated.

3. In Enugu we saw a viral video of a Leader, an elderly man, insisting that a particular politician whose ancestry was traced to nearby EBONYI STATE can never be allowed to be their Governor in Enugu.

He said NEVER.

He was terribly agitated about it.

They didn't allow that man.

4. In Anambra again, Bianca Onoh is an IGBO WOMAN. Her father was from neighbouring Enugu which used to be one state with them but she married no less a man than Emeka Ojukwu himself

A whole Ojukwu.

But Ojukwu was Anambra.

Bianca indicated that she wanted to contest the senatorial election in Anambra.

Anambra People told her to go to HER FATHERS LAND!!!!

That was it.

5. Ironically, Mrs Betty Akeredolu came to her own fathers land to ask for Senatorial ticket

Her father's land is IMO.

Imo people promptly told her to go back to her HUSBAND'S LAND IN ONDO STATE to find the ticket.

6. Till this day they still have the OSU CASTE system in that Igbo land.

Christianity couldn't wash it away.

OSU people still suffer humiliations amongst fellow Igbo people.

They have limitations to their rights up till this day.

They are discriminated against.

7. But these Abia, Anambra , Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo men are all over the place in Ondo, Oyo, Ogun, Ekiti, Osun and Lagos states telling you stories of 'One Nigeria" and preaching against"Tribalism " that it is fair and okay for them to become anything of politics in your land as they LIVE AND OWN HOUSES IN YOUR COMMUNITIES.

The want to be able to contest elections as GOVERNOR in Lagos and infact they want to achieve it by IGBO BLOC VOTES as they have moved half of their population into Lagos.

They want to be SENATORS in Lagos.

They want to be DEPUTY-GOVERNOR in Ogun.

They actually feel they deserve to be consulted in Ekiti before you chose your leaders.

They OPENLY tell you that LAGOS IS NO MAN'S LAND.

HOW A PEOPLE DEMAND FROM YOU WHAT THEY CAN'T GIVE YOU IS WHAT I WANT TO UNDERSTAND.

They don't do these things in the NORTH because they are very much aware that the NORTHERNERS KNOW THEM.

They do it to the Yoruba people because they are also very aware that the Yorubas don't travel to the EAST and therefore don't know the IGBO characters.

Yorubas are a very easy-going and easily contented, we hardly have had reasons to be going up and down to the spaces of other people.

But you come to us when we DIDN'T INVITE YOU and then begin to harrass us with games of competition which is something that isn't part of our own culture.

We don't go about with crazy aggression trying to outdo or get better than our neighbours.

Our ancestors taught us to be okay and satisfied with what we have.

We only look to be the better of ourselves, to become a better person than we were yesterday.

Money was and still is not a yardstick of measuring the quality of men in Yoruba land - YOUR OMOLÚÀBÍ CONTENT IS.

We will continue to educate our people.

Things can't be the same again.

Yolobas have started what they can't finish.

Igbos aren't cowards.


This loan that yolobas collected from the great igbo tribe in lagos,must be fully paid with interest.



save this post!

Pray that the plans this coming president have for the east should come to past. The reviving of the dead coal industry and the solution to the erosion problem in anambra. What the southeastern people are facing now, is nothing but inferiority complex. No real industrialisation in the east. You can't go there to invest and they know this. That is why anywhere they go, they want to dominate. Leave this ideas of real estate investment in Lagos because the land use laws will not favour you guys again. No more jobs in alausa too....Please pray for your region and don't reason war. Ordinary oro will terminate your entire race in mins

kcnwaigbo:
You are deluded!! You people are beginning to bite more than you can chew.

We have tribal community leaders in all parts of the country

Yes, even in the diaspora. That buttress the fact that you guys like to dominate any space you step one. It is wrong to have traditional chiefs on people's land. Wrong!

Scream:

If he posted thus, he is stupid

He posted it, even other tribes were irritated with the statement too...it is very very stupid of them to reason lagos is no mans land. Very careless and treasonous statement

IyaebeTheGreat:
This is funny, elupee is gradually failing into oblivion, i saw this coming anyways.

As for the house of reps and few senators, they will join APC in Jagabans rule

magoo10:
But you still dey sell the land to them collect money.how foolish

It's in the pipeline, every co would be reviewed. Walahi!

AdaojoTheUrchin:
A military interim government will be cheaper and better. Democracy in Nigeria is too expensive and fraught with fake democracy who are really pro-oligarchs and feudal.

Let a Supreme military council choose leaders until urchins learn how to play true democracy.

The demonstration of craze will last in Nigeria until some people are thought some lessons

N2B2:
Just as sad as the election malpractice that Nigeria is renowned for -- is Seun's decision to let rabid urchin agitators run amok, unchecked on his pro-APC Nairaland.

Guide your own feelings dude

Werey, answering questions like a rookie, this guy can't lead my alumni group not to talk of Lagos. Failure!

Sad

Gunayo:
This country is gone. God please do anything that will make every region go separate ways. We can't continue like this and still say one Nigeria.

ZIK caused this

So it is true that some people or rather migrants have plans to unseat the governor of Lagos state. Why is chioma chukwuka pained that some miscreants refused her to vote, according to her claims sha...this is very unfair

budaatum:
When this man becomes President I can just about see him arresting anyone who disagrees with him, though I hope I'm very wrong.

You are wrong. He would ensure & implement mental torture to his victims, especially the restless folks from Obidient community

OneCandleAway:
I expect Labour Party to put in place mechanisms for safety of voters. You can't expect people to put their lives at risk to secure your vote while you do nothing to also aid in securing their lives

LP is southeast dominated party

If ICC wants to prove they are still relevant and doing their job, they should start by arresting Bush, Pompeo, Bolton, Hillary, Netanyahu. All these people should be prosecuted for war crimes.

Russia has dismissed “war crimes” accusations against its president as null and void

You have no power here: What the ICC ‘arrest warrant’ means for Putin

The International Criminal Court (ICC) on Friday alleged that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Children’s Rights Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova may have committed war crimes by “deporting” and “transferring” children from Ukraine. Moscow has dismissed the move as preposterous and not legally binding, since Russia never ratified the court’s jurisdiction.

What does the ICC claim?

The Pre-trial Chamber issued an “arrest warrant” for Putin and Lvova-Belova, accusing them of personal and command responsibility for what they described as “unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine.” The accusations appear to be based on the Kiev government’s interpretation of Russian efforts to evacuate civilians away from frontline areas that the Ukrainian military has targeted, often with NATO-supplied weapons.

What does the “warrant” mean?

In legal terms, nothing whatsoever. Though Russia was one of the signatories to the Rome Statute, the ICC’s founding document, it never ratified the treaty and officially withdrew from it in 2016. Whatever the court claims or does is null and void in Russia, both Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov and Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova confirmed on Friday.

Is Russia alone in not recognizing the ICC?

While 123 states have signed the Rome Statute, 41 have not – including China, India, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye. Besides Russia, Israel, Sudan and the US have also withdrawn their signatures. The US Congress even passed a law in 2002 prohibiting any cooperation with the court and authorizing “all means necessary and appropriate” to release any American – or national of an allied country – from the Hague, by military force if necessary.

What was the Russian reaction?

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described the ICC announcement as “outrageous and unacceptable.” Senator Andrey Klishas, from the ruling United Russia party, said the ICC just put itself on the road to self-destruction. Former president and deputy chair of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev compared the “warrant” to toilet paper. Crimean Senator Sergei Tsekov said the ICC decision demonstrates that Western-created institutions have become “worthless and insignificant.” Lvova-Belova sarcastically thanked the “international community” for appreciating her work to help rescue children from the zone of combat operations.

Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley called up their Russian counterparts for the first time in months

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin reached out to his Russian counterpart, Sergey Shoigu, on Wednesday, for the first time in months, to discuss the incident in which an American spy drone went down in the Black Sea waters off Crimea.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Shoigu told Austin that the incident was caused by the Americans violating the airspace restriction declared by Russia, with all the proper international notifications in place. Shoigu called US drone flights off the Russian coast “provocative in nature” and risked an escalation of tensions in the Black Sea.

While Russia does not desire such a development, it will “continue to respond proportionately to all provocations,” Shoigu said. He added that the two nuclear powers “must act as responsibly as possible,” which includes keeping a military channel open to discuss any crisis.

Speaking at a Pentagon press briefing, Austin confirmed that he made the call, and said it was “important that great powers be models of transparency and communication.” However, he insisted the US would “continue to fly and to operate wherever international law allows.”

The last time Shoigu and Austin spoke was in October 2022, according to AP. The top military officers also had a phone call about the matter, with US General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reaching out to his Russian counterpart, General Valery Gerasimov.

Drone incident confirms US involvement in Ukraine conflict – RussiaREAD MORE Drone incident confirms US involvement in Ukraine conflict – Russia
On Tuesday, the US European Command claimed that two Russian Su-27 jets conducted an “an unsafe and unprofessional intercept” of a MQ-9 Reaper drone, which was conducting an intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance (ISR) mission in international waters over the Black Sea. According to the US military, one of the planes struck the drone’s propeller, causing the operators to ditch the UAV into the water.

The Russian Defense Ministry, however, said that at no point did any of the interceptors make contact with the drone, or use their on-board weapons. The UAV stalled and crashed after executing an abrupt maneuver, Moscow said.

Russian ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov said he told the State Department that US drones have no business so close to the Russian border. The drone was reportedly just 60 kilometers off the coast of Crimea when it crashed.

The US has flown drones and other surveillance aircraft near the Russian border for over a year, providing intelligence and targeting information to the Ukrainian government – along with weapons, ammunition and money – while insisting it is not a party to the conflict. Nikolai Patrushev, secretary of the Russian Security Council, said on Wednesday that the drone incident was “yet another confirmation” the US was directly involved.

9jiria is really jagajaga...

CBN deputy governor denied old N1000 and N500 are accepted.

Few hours later, CBN released a statement old N500 and N1000 are accepted.

Frankly, I am not a buhari fan but I think he only deserves 20% of the blame..

The 80% of thr blame goes to Senate and House of Reps members.

Why do we have senators if they can't do their jobs?? People need to learn to direct their concerns to thier senators and house of reps members and demand accountability from them.

We always accuse Buhari of this and that but the Senate can always override Buhari's order..

Why aren't the senators and house of rep stepping in to alleviate the masses problems??

Why aren't they inviting CBN governor for a chat and ask him questions under oath??

When will , we the people set tribalism, political affliations aside and demand for better governance from our elected leaders??

Buhari is military and he is the last. Asiwaju is the new phase of our own democrazyy
