  1. All these other parties are fretting because OBJ did not endorse their corrupt principals, now the insults to OBJ. But they all went looking for his endorsement.

    I'm thinking all the spokespersons running their mouths, what they would have said if OBJ had endorsed them.

    Envy is bad?

  3. Yes o, Baba Obj, always telling the truth.

    I stayed under hot, scorching sun for hours just to collect my PVC. I was terribly hungry and irritable that day, but I persisted just so I can vote Obi. My vote must count this year.

  4. I read the whole letter former president Obasanjo wrote. Aside the endorsement, it's such a great speech ( a presidential speech I would say) - touching every aspect that concerns Nigeria. I love this man!

  5. IBB was interviewed by Ngozi Anaegbu of Arise and I recently saw this interview a few months ago. IBB in addressing his vision for a good Nigerian leader, he laid out the qualities he thinks needed and that he has seen 1 or 2 or 3 people who fit this already, and when pressed if this leader(s) are young, elderly or middle aged, he replied 60s. Then asked if that person should emerge in 2023. he said, I believe so, he we could get him. I quickly thought of Peter Obi and Kwakwanso who are in their 60s. mmmhhh. No, I don't like IBB or as he suffer us well well during SAP riots, dodging bullets from the sky as we were struggling to get home after school was shot down, walking as no safe transport. He na wicked.
