Who is this PDP sir? The problem is that we are simply pursuing shadow whenever we call these party names. If you will pause and reflect on those who were actually in PDP over the last 16 years, where are they presently?
Sir neither PDP nor APC is our problem but those individuals who hide under party names to confuse you. Call them the wolves in sheep clothing.... too bad we keep getting deceived and carried away year with their antics year after year.

ajademola2000:
What is this one saying? with all the endorsement no house of his own, what a shame.

[size=20pt]DO YOU REALLY THINK WIZZY BABA DON'T HAVE A HOUSE? USE YOUR COMMON SENSE[/size]

inme:
WizKID should go look for his mate to fight with because this particular fight he's never going to win.

Look how he's fooling himsef on social media.

And some clueless idiots will come here and start screaming how WizKID owns the world.

The brother can't even afford to pay his rent.

Once again WizKID can never be as rich as Linda Ikeji.

He should go pick a fight with @B_Red_HKN

[size=20pt]SEE THIS ONE, WHO TOLD YOU THAT LINDA IS RICHER THAN WIZZY BABA... FOR YOUR MINDDD... DON'T YOU KNOW HOW LINDA GOT MONEY TO ACQUIRE THAT HOUSE FROM POLITICIANS...WAKE UP COS YOUR REALLY SLEEPING ON A MOUKA FOAM. ONLY WIZKID ENDORSEMENT CAN FEED LINDA IKEJI'S GENERATION[/size]

Car accident and Porsche acquisition[edit]
On 15 June 2013, Wizkid was involved in a non-life-threatening car accident along the Lekki-Epe Expressway in Lekki, Lagos. According to an article posted on Silverbird Television, Wizkid was hospitalised for a minor concussion resulting from the wreck.[79] According to eyewitness reports compiled by MTV Base, Wizkid's Porsche Panamera was spotted speeding down the road; the car's front tires blew out and resulted in the driver of the vehicle losing control and crashing into a road barrier.[80] Eyewitness reports also added that the car's airbag suspension system deployed on impact, shielding Wizkid and the driver instantaneously.[81] At the time of the incident, Wizkid and other passengers in the car were returning from the Soundcity Nokia LumiaBeat Party. The accident allegedly occurred around 3:30am in front of the GET Arena.[82] As a result of the wreck, the car was badly damaged. Pictures of the damaged vehicle surfaced on Instagram and Facebook. Vanguard reported that Wizkid acquired a Porsche Cayenne two weeks after the accident. He posted pictures of his new acquisition onto his Instagram page and tagged the pictures with the caption "#Blessed"

Good day and Happy easter,
I really wish that I will prove people wrong if this issue is settled.

On 27.3.2016 18:53 I placed a bet with 4200 and my return was supposed to be 5460. After some minutes I won the bet and I saw SETTLED, but the winnings wasn't credited in my account. I navigated to My Account Transaction List and this revealed that my bet wasn't credited.
My traction list states that on
942210614 27/03/2016 18:53:47 GBA - Football Withdrawal -4,200.00 68.21

Here my balance was 68.21 with 4200 bet

On that day I deposited 5000

942217436 27/03/2016 18:59:49 Card deposit 5,000.00 5,068.21

My balance is now 5000 + 68.21 = 5,068.21

Still waiting for credit for 4200 bet which i won.

I staked 50 and again and won 78

942369280 27/03/2016 23:44:49 GBA - Football Deposit 72.50 5,090.71
942368293 27/03/2016 23:39:27 GBA - Football Withdrawal -50.00 5,018.21

Please where is my over 5000 won from 4200 naira bet. I have gone to extra mile in photo printing my screen with all evidence needed. I hope this issue will not be treated with kid gloves because i have lost a lot in betting.

Thanks

I wonder if I will continue wasting my credit calling and data, just to resolve a simple matter. What else do you want me to provide.

This game was played on virtual football sports. This is my ID and name
202XXXXX
IXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.

I will still attach all evidence

ritzyvic1:

[size=20pt]I AM TOO BIG TO LISTEN TO THESE USELESS BASELESS ACCUSATIONS. GO SIT DON SOMEWHERE. [/size]

FILEBE:
smh. I didn't and wouldn't vote Lil Kesh for anything in this world. His lyrics are too vulgar. Call a spade a spade my friend! Rubish is rubish. Next rated should be given to rubish?

[size=20pt]STOP BLABBING MY FRIEND. HOW MANY NAIJA SONG IS NOT RUBBISH? WHAT IS CHOP MY MONEY?, WHAT IS EVEN DOROBUCCI, DOROMEGA, DOROSUPER, WHAT IS LIMPOPO?, WHAT IS SHOKI THAT EVERYBODY IS SINGING AND DANCING(EVEN YOU), GUY PLEASE GIVE YOURSELF SHORT STOOL IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.[/size]

989900:

Meh.
I'm sorry oik if I don't know your idol.

BTW, last time I checked, nairaland.com can be accessed from almost anywhere in the world, and knowing some random artist is not a prerequisite.

[size=20pt]IF YOU CLAIM YOU DON'T KNOW WHO OLAMIDE AND LIL KESH IS, THEN YOU LIVE IN AWARA LGA PERIOD!!![/size]

FILEBE:
it's true. LIL KESH sings meaningless songs that i'll never allow my kids to hear. If he wants to sing for adults....he should just tell us so we go dey hear his songs like say na blue film we dey watch.

[size=20pt]IGNORANCE IS A DISEASE[/size]

[size=20pt]Is is very simple to identify the artist that deserve the 'Next Rated' award.
(1) The award is ''NEXT RATED''

(2) There is a significant difference between ''RATE and CONTENT''

(3) Do you know the meaning of ''Next Rated'' in the music industry? Do you know the criteria?


NEXT RATED: More hits, more air play, ( Radio/Tv,Club, Streets) Dancing to, Street appeal, C.Platform, Delievery, e.t.c


Reekado Banks- 45%
Lil Kesh------------95%


Forget sentiment! I don't like Lil Kesh. Don Jazzy just mess and exposed himself that he's the one that got problems and not D'banj and Wande Coal. Wande Coal just followed Olamide on twitter and Wande Coal tweeted ''Lol, Just passing through'' , meaning is ''I NO TELL YOU?, ATTITUDE NA SMOKE HE GO SOON SHOW AM TO YOU''[/size]

989900:
Who is Olamide and this other people; I only know Don Jazzy.

[size=30pt]THEN YOU LIVE IN AWARA LGA IN NIGERIA:[/size]

[size=20pt]JAZZY IS A BIG COW. This is the same guy that had issue with Koko Master and got ignorant Nigerians to support him. I know Jazzy, he is fake humble monster that deserves to hug a transformer. Why will that idiot ridicule himself by attacking Olamide publicly. Olamide was attacking the headies organizers and not that big cow Jazzy. #jazzylosemyreps[/size]
