If there's a runoff. Wouldn't atiku emerge since OBI won't be in the ballot?

Your assessment is spot on. I agree with your corrections. Osun is definitely Tinubu. And Sokoto is TCC because Tinubu will give Atiku a good fight in Sokoto. Kano is TCC.


But you agree if Obi Steps down today. Tinubu has no chance against Atiku

We still have properties, a lot actually but running some of them is hard because no liquid cash especially Petrol station, to run a filling station now. You'll be looking at close to 15 to 20m to buy products.

Some of the properties i'm against selling them because I'm sure they'll be more valuable with time. But just sold a land in remote area in Rivers State to see if e fit help me do another waka.

When people been dey tell me Nigeria hard, I never beloved it was this level I swear.

That's my biggest regret, thinking I could make something out of Nigeria with no money

What a pity!! He tried for you when he was alive though!! Chai!!! But he probably had cash in unknown bank accounts. A lot of unclaimed monies in all these Nigerian banks.
.

I feel like I've failed him, I wish I could apologize I swear.

He was 95 years and he used to pick me up from airport whenever I came for Christmas break. Every single time despite his age

And he entrusted my younger ones to me, he used to say "as I have done to you, do to them" because I'm the first born.

Just hoping Canada waka can work by Gods grace. I want to make amends on all the mistakes. It really breaks my heart.

Sometimes even to cry go dey tire me.

Damn na wa o what a waste if you went to Canada then you would have had your PR.

Dad advised me to go the Canada or USA since we had relatives there but the reason I went to Switzerland was I wanted to be close to the commodity trading industry there. Switzerland is a hub for commodity trading . I though I could make contacts with large commodity traders there like Vitol, Glencore and Trafigura.

I did make contacts, initially I wanted to start if as a broker or but when I went deeper I realized that I need even more money to do the business.

Basically an my carelessness cause am. I was too excited to want to be in Swiss commodity trading circle. I was too business oriented because I'd never worked a day in my life.

How my money take finish was I was flying around the world a lot. When I request for a meeting with some commodity traders, Them go make I come Hungary or Monaco or London for meeting and I go fly go there for like 1 hr meeting while juggling my studies. No much progress because it requires a lot of money even to be a broker.

Sha the experience was lovely, I just wished I made better decision

Hannania see why I told you that Switzerland is a useless country to immigrate to for any sort of thing. It's only a good country for citizens o. Even to study there for free I no take.

For graduate school, prioritize countries that give PR easily over school ranking. Anything fit happen o.

I just dey regret why I no go USA or Canada. Switzerland is more expensive than those countries and den they give PR.

My rent for student house in Zurich for just a room was 1 million naira per month. 12 million per year. That's just 1 year. Shared bathroom, toilet and kitchen

3 years ago I was basically a King from 2018 to 2019. I was doing my MBA in Zurich Switzerland, the most expensive city in the world. I was young at 24 to 25 years. Before that I was in Malaysia doing a levels and Bsc between 2010 and 2017 plus gap years I took.

Malaysia is less expensive than Switzerland but its not really that cheap because I lived in the capital (Kuala Lumpur). 2 of my sisters were also studying together with me. All financed by my father

All funded by my late father. My school fees in switzerland was 33,000 swiss francs and 25,000 swiss francs for living expenses for 1 year. Together everything then was about almost 40 million naira for a year.

While I was there I didn't try to find a job until it was too late (permit was expiring). Before that I'd never worked a day in my life before.

Basically I lived a life of luxury and everything came crashing down

I left switzerland in December 2019, didn't finish my MBA. No funds. Dad's burial took almost everything . family was in so much debt. Its crazy

Dad died few days I was supposed to leave for switzerland (he was old enough 95 years).

Anyway countdown three years later. I'm doing POS business in Lagos. I tried dispatch business but I stopped after 6 months unable to find quality riders and the Daily headaches.

Back to your question on grace to grass.

I used to travel a most every 2 weeks when I was in Switzerland. I've been to France, Germany, London, Dubai for holidays before and now I do a POS business. Its funny because i could be insulted by people wey never cross third mainland bridge before in tjis POS business but it makes me laugh though. I don't beat myself up.


If I tell people say I from.Switzerland, dem no go believe.

Tried to get a job but no positions.

I regret certain things I did. I was too comfortable that I didn't even try to get a job until it was too late.

I regret certain actions. I wished I could change things but I've moved on. Om working hard to see what I can do to rebuild. I believe if God gives me life I can go back to my former lifestyle with improvements

I'm trying to see if I can go back cheaper place like Canada or others, getting help from sister.

Picture attached was my swiss visa.

I swear I don't even know why I love Hermes, there's something so different about him, like exceptional, I used to be an avid BB fan from lockdown, taking in all the events.

But this season I only watched it for Hermes. After I noticed him the day he won HOH in week 2. Na so I like the guy. Like I use to run home from office like small boy to watch tasks and HOH games.

But why people talk say Hermes ugle na.

The guy is handsome. Tall, slender and fit figure.

For me I prefer shape vs face. Don't know about others.

Hermes actually has the best body of all the male housemates.

Athletic and fit, he has the shape of an elite athlete especially a basketball star.

Politics / Re: 2023: States Atiku Will Win Easily - Lawyer Olóyè by Sochieke: 9:14pm On Oct 03, 2022
But I want to ask a question.

Doesn't PDP have the best chance of 24% in 24 states since they are strong everywhere.

Even with the OBI movement .let's say he wins all states in SE and SS which is impossible. PDP can still get 25% from the 11 states there.

Come to North East, where atiku is from the can still get 25% in those 6 states. That's already 17. In north central, they can also get 25%.

Not even talking about North West and South West where they are strong.

So doesn't that give them the election.

I think they can get 25% in almost 30 states.

So

I honestly don't see anything special about phyna and bryan. No special talents, nothing.
So mediocre.
I dont get all the hype honestly.

Phyna is the worst though. Like what is her talent exactly?. Like just one talent?

Perhaps this is not a talent show, so I can underhand her supporters. Maybe next year, contestants will try to be loud from day 1 even though they do nothing useful.

As long as you're loud, you'll attract fans

Organizers really did Beauty and Amaka wrong and spoilt this show

Those two were potential top 5 in fact beauty was winner material. She had the most Instagram followers at one point. Why didn't she get a second strike. Winner material leaving the house in just week 2.

Amaka is way stronger than most of the current housemates and was steadily growing and she was evicted unjustly. So why hasn't big brother used that same eviction method since then.

Them for just talk say them want evict Amaka instead of giving excuses like fake housemates nomination don't account. Pretty sure if Amaka didn't top the nomination, they wouldn't have used on anyone else.

Biggie for talk say him dey vex with Amaka for the microwave incident

i guess the management of show considerd her temprament and the risk her continued stay pose to the brand, if not they would have find a way to give her soft landing instead of DQ her.

How can someone even get double strike in one night. If to say biggie give her only second strike, I think say she for calm down

Beauty exit still dey pain me. I wonder how her early exit tipped the trajection of this show.

I remember it was her and Bryann earlier in the show. Nobody dey even talk of Phyna were she dey. I wonder if she was here with the house merger how dey house for dey.

She be De Kain girl wey fit break bottle, I'm not even sure shella for mess up with her.

Nobody for mess with her.

So painful how a favorite to win the show was exited in just week 2. She was even the first to leave the house.

Alot of peeps have been saying BBM X BBN since, it seems you guys are getting it wrong it won't happen the reason is simple our laws here won't allow them broadcast LGBTQ content, Hence the reason why BBMzansi wasn't shown in Nigeria on DSTV this year.

BBMzansi will want representation for the LGBTQ community and as such they will have to cast HMs who are LGBTQ as anything less than that will put multichoice in trouble in SA


BBN X BBM won't happen.....

So maybe they won't invite LGBTQ housemates. So no issue
