Nigerians are intelligent and very resourceful people.They are used to doing everything for themselves since the government have decided to abdicate their constitutional roles. You seldom see a Nigerian without a business idea but the issue is usually pausity of funds. Some "friends" won't give you free money nowadays if you aren't giving them anything in return. Do you know you can raise cash for that project by simply providing a solution that 90% of your friends and neighbors need? If you are interested to find out, see https://wonderful.ng/jobs/link |

Why do I have a feeling, Soludo is trying to justify something? |
It's naive to reason like that. The contestant for LP was second in the last gubernatorial election whilst in PDP. Soludo only won because of the sentiment of Anambra people to retain APGA then. I doubt they still have those sentiments anymore considering Soludo's unwarranted attacks against PO Soludo can't beat him except he rigs the election. Most people care less about LG elections. It'll be a miracle for Soludo to win again except of course INEC help him for fighting PO. Anambra people and Nigerians are aware of the politics being played by Tinubu and INEC to make it look like PO isn't popular which is a big lie. |
