Nigeria has so many golden eggs eg

Agriculture

Mineral Resources

Manufacturing

Human Resources

Tourism

Etc


What is hindering our national development is absence of True Federalism.

Do u not think it is now high time we started working on those sectors and ignored oil revenue? for Gods sake, our budget is still based on oil benchmark

Are we still talking about this?

#thingsMustChange

General tweet.

I just want to ask a question. the SS sure lays the golden egg in Nigeria. However, Oil prices are becoming incredibly low of recent with no signs of improving. This invariably means a serious decline in oil revenue.

What will now be our golden egg and from where will it come?

Every man drinks(@least most of them) but e be like say the man own pass power ooo

GEJ himself said this ? I guess he was drunk then and his gang of sycophants were not there to tell him he was praising his opponents. gej is a good man, when he is not sober.

I am asking this question because I have observed with dismay, how some people refer to GEJ as a serial drunk. his wife is not even left out as they are accused of having a tavern where they drink with stupor.

Some people I met who have had one or two encounter with gej have given me tales on how our president engages in ravenous drinking spree to the point that he becomes oblivious of what he does.

ARE THESE STORIES TRUE? IS OUR PRESIDO AN OGOGORO MASTER?

Nä was o. the second pic will make more sense after gej is butted out of office. it will be him confessing to the church like..
Father pray for me. I have sinned. I was always drunk while in office and I jeopardized the future of Nigeria due to this. The evil I did is haunting me pastor, I don't want to go to jail. pray for me. beg God and Nigerians to forgive me.

So he still get chance dey tweet for war front. this guy maybe did not hear of 54 soldiers on death row

Please let the mods push this to FP. I always feel pained when these guys keep abusing Islam because of Buhari and BH. in a true Islamic society, gmb will not even be close to getting the emirship. this is because he has no requisite Islamic knowledge. I felt like weeping when I read FFK's article(letter to osinbajo).

people keep blaming GMB for post election violence without taking into account what led to it in the first place. I will say this with all conviction, if we experience killings in the coming polls, it is comments from gej's men that will cause it.

No politician is worth our soul or honor.

Peace.

Now Maku will know there is a difference between being popular and being famous.

DIFFERENCE
He is famous since many people know him. however, he is famous for being a talkative.

He is not popular because people know him but do not like him.

CONCLUSION
Since Maku can't get an ordinary ticket, how can he win a general election. And apga don chop d maga. the money he used to buy form will not be refunded. he has contributed to their ministry.

Hail the anointed prophet. God's really chatting with you mehn. I believe.

We know now. no be the corrupt people buy Nigeria for 21b? we already know this mehn.

Yessooo. liars lie in order to deceive people. Thank God GMB has started coming out to defend claims madeon his behalf and lies against him.

GMBPYO2015

Let us pray against it. I feel we will hear of a high profile death within this period. I pray it doesn't happen. God help us.

I feel like weeping right now. what a country, oh what a country.

anonimi:
Traveled abroad for medical reason, the pretending A-Looter old soldier has done just like the other daft people that have led us in the past =>



Seems YOU might indeed need to tell us another story about your Perpetual Presidential Candidate (PPC) of the Association of Pretending Crooks, APC

Thrash. humans naturally fall sick. where in your report did they say he went because of a serious medical condition? by the way, that your claim has no concrete source.

Good. I hope he wins. I just want to see if he can implement these.

One thing I know for sure is that there was never a time GMB was reported to have traveled out to take care of any serious medical condition.

however, PEJ even died and came back.
Tinubu spent days abroad in a foreign hospital.

If you ask me who is closer to death based on our humanly calculation, I would say by age, it is GMB but BAT has overtaken him based on fitness condition.

though, to me, anybody can die at any time. even the OP can die today regardless of his age.

so we need another story.

let me give my dear presido the benefit of doubt. may be they just went to relax a little or he wants to give them s better education. if it is for security, he is right to send them out since he know the dangerous game he is playing.

however , the double standard can't be overlooked.

peace!

GMB/PYO till...... when GMB submit his cert.

Front page things. mod please needful the do. the propagandist have been exposed. I just kept wondering who that imam sodiq could be. a Muslim imam could be this fanatical but people that have such disposition will not even be on facebook.

I tire for op ooi.I just wonder what motivates him in this vain quest of ignorance.

And we keep saying we need the youth to take charge.

pity

I wish I could get someone to pay me in order to support GMB. that means I'll be doing what I believe in and still get paid for it.

GMB/PYO2025

Ohhhhm! please wake me up when the election is over. I'm sure Fashola will have been declared winner.

Say what? what had he been using all these years?

GMB o, and how co.e your original certs are with the army? I thought they only collect photocopies. please get it before February 14 iioiioi.

For now sha

GEJ. till..... no way!!!!





Osibanjo 2015 till GMB submit his certs.

OBJ... see what you haf cause Bä? u had make Nigerians refushees in their own land.

And gej dia broda got 21b for elections, do he knows how fa hit will go to helep diz pipo?

Government insensitivity don dey affect my engrish sef.. Hayam hungry.

I don't practise politics of bitterness. I am not a staunch supporter of anyone so I can't beef my friend because if a bloody politician.

#SayNoToPoliticsOfBitterness

Why can't he get them back from the military? dies he not have photocopies? And what has he been submitting all the time he was contesting?
Nä wa for these politicians oooooooo.

These elders are sick. the man has every right to contest. the elders should not vote him if they like.


GMB/PYO2015

Hahahaha. I laff in Yoruba. imagine these people going to nasfat and mosques(where we have staunch Alfas) and telling them to vote Jonathan. hmmmm, it would have been better if they didn't endorse anybody sef.
