hmmmm, in as much as we can put blames on the first lady, she might have actually forgotten about the case as they usually have a lot on their plate, we should blame people put in position to see to the end of such promises, some end up embezzling the funds meant for such projects and watch the whole thing die down.

this is in no way exonerating the first lady tho, dont make a promise if you can't see it to the end

When i see people like this i wonder, Do you know how many like her with worse case sceneries that have nowhere to sleep or money to eat and with multiple younger siblings?
She is old enough to know that Nigerian is a very corrupt country. Even contractors funds for roads, hospitals and several projects are looted by same govt officials, She got 5m, 10k, money for sand, and some gifts from random tiktok s BUT She wan go US or Canada.....

No Mocking, Hard Truth. Nigerians always want to solve problems with too much emotions. Go to a govt hospital and spend time in the sickle cell ward for just 30 minutes then you would understand why.

From reading the interview you can tell she is just a privileged spoilt and entitled brat,...
MY MOTHER SOLD ALL HER HOUSES, MY MOTHER IS TRADING, MY MOTHER THIS AND THAT.

WHAT OF THE SICKLE CELL PATIENTS WHOSE MOTHER AND FATHER DONT HAVE HOUSE TO SELL? MONEY FOR BUSINESS NKO?

OGA THEM DE ALIVE AND BREATHING TOO AND THEIR STORIES MIGHT NEVER BE HEARD.

SHE SEE MAMA WHEN GET HOUSES TO SELL NA? SHE SEE TWO FIRST LADIES NA, SHE SEE HELP FOR ONLINE S ABI?

The entire household of Tinubu lack integrity and artistic values.
Sometimes read and understand the context. Don't always rush to write irresponsible statement. Most times, it is the people working alongside the First Ladies that frustrate people's hope. Challenges abound in the country and she's not the only one undergoing such. Nigerians generally are wicked. You'll later find out the rubbish they are telling that girl did not emanate from the first lady.

There are only two laws in this life that can make us a real and better human, law of 'NOW' against it will be done.
Meaning whatever is worth doing is worth doing well and right now.
Law of 'make e no happen' against it has happened now we manage it.
Zero tolerance for irresponsibility and enforcing everyone to do what he or she is supposed to do at the right time.

As they say God don't promise His words are already a done deal.

Taking out money from us in different ways but failing to do anything with our commonwealth to benefit us in government employment for basic services and utilities provision.

What manner of people do that

BeeBeeOoh:
The First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu, has urged Nigerian youths to be hard-working, saying, “There is no food for lazy man.”

Mrs Tinubu said this during a courtesy visit to the palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, in Ile-Ife, Osun State, on Thursday.

She noted that while the Tinubu-led istration is working hard to provide sustainable solutions to the current challenges facing the country, Nigerians should also work hard to provide for themselves.

The first lady maintained that the government will do all it takes to ensure that Nigerians are not disappointed and called for patience with Tinubu’s istration.

Mrs Tinubu said: “There is no food for the lazy man; even God worked for six days and rested on the seventh day.

“Nigeria is a land that’s flowing with milk and honey, but we need to sustain it for generations to come.

“God has richly blessed my family before getting to the presidency and we are content with what we have.

“What is happening in the country, we are just two years into our istration, we are not the cause of the current situation. We are trying to fix and secure the future.

“I have embarked on several journeys but it seems that people are not seeing what God is doing in the land. Nations across the globe want to do business with us, legally, on the table. There is a government in power now that they know it is able.

“We are trying all our efforts to ensure that the economy is stabilised and the masses are living meaningful lives since the removal of fuel subsidy.”

To the less privilege reading this, this is why well off Nigerians don’t help the less privileged. You received N5m and you still come out to embarrass the person who helped you?

Even God is not happy with an ungrateful heart!

Somebody heard about your plight and helped you quietly and you choose to embarrass them in return!

Promise and fail is a sin

NOTE: This post is a general advice to all of us on the power of a promise. It's not directed against the First Lady.


On a bitterly cold night, a billionaire was walking through the streets when he encountered an old, poor man shivering in the cold. The billionaire, dressed in his warm, luxurious coat, couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for the man. He approached him and asked, "Don't you feel cold being outside without a coat?"

The old man looked up, his eyes reflecting years of hardship and resilience. "I don't have a coat," he replied, "but I've gotten used to the cold."

The billionaire, moved by the man's plight, said, "Wait here. I'll go inside my house and bring you a coat." The old man's face lit up with hope and gratitude. "Thank you," he said, "I'll wait for you."

The billionaire hurried into his grand mansion, intending to fetch a coat for the old man. However, once inside, he got distracted by the warmth and comfort of his home. He became engrossed in his evening routine, enjoying a hot meal and the company of his family. The promise he made to the old man slipped from his mind.

The night grew colder, and the old man waited patiently outside, his hope keeping him warm. Hours ed, and the cold began to seep into his bones. He clung to the promise of the coat, believing that help was on its way. But as the night wore on, his strength waned, and he succumbed to the freezing temperatures.

In the morning, the billionaire ed the old man and rushed outside, only to find him lifeless on the ground. A note was clutched in the old man's hand. It read, "When I didn't have any warm clothes, I had the power to fight the cold because I was used to it. But when you promised me help, I got attached to your promise, and that took away my power to resist."

The billionaire was struck with a profound sense of guilt and sorrow. He realized that his well-intentioned promise had inadvertently caused the old man's demise. The promise, which had meant little to him, had meant everything to the old man.

While a promise might seem insignificant to you, it could mean the world to someone else.

I really feel for the girl, the trauma alone is devastating. I hope after this interview with her, her helpers will her again.

Nigerians have the mentality that once you owned a house. Majority of your problem has been solved. meanwhile, it is the door to another problem. A house will not maintain itself.
If you are requesting for help, never request for help to build your house. That was a big blunder the mother and this girl made. They should have made a move out of the country their priority, or set up a business with the 5 million given to them but instead they used it to complete their house project.
Move out of the country for what na? Is she going for fitting of artificial limbs? Will you provide them house and feeding money as they are abroad?

Not judging her, but if you ever get the rare chance to make a request from top politicians, it's always wiser to ask for something like full educational —maybe up to the PhD level. That kind of request is often taken more seriously and is easier to consider. Unfortunately, she missed that opportunity the moment she said she wanted to travel out of the country.

Tinubu's policy made the 5million become very useless in a short time. She was really unlucky.

Abi, what if they had not ed her in the first place? Likely even if you give her 100m, few months later complain will still be there. Finish building the house for her, she will say they did not install ac, install it, she will say you did not buy car to move around, buy it she will say it is not a car meant for the disabled, get that one she will say you did not provide fuel. Long and short is that you have bought market.
In proper climes the disabled is taken care of by the state, but this is naija, everything has kleg.

The they didn't include the first ladies mentioned. These were just the masses who showed empathy. When I said yesterday that only the masses can rescue themselves from the hands of these wicked souls, I knew what i was saying. See now, the masses helped her but the leaders failed her.

If the masses can pick good candidates across the country who will truly represent them, these politicians are on the minority side. They'll lose woefully. But because we always worship them, we've turned ourselves sycophants when we know truly we're always at the receiving end. Who's oluremi tinubu without lagos wealth? Who's her husband without our money? I wonder if people know how much this man had been getting from the lagos wealth monthly for decades . Had ambode done his bidding, he'd not have done one-quarter of what he did in such a short time before he revolted against him, using obasa, oshinowo and co against him.

Despite all these, gullible people still keep praising him despite milking us. The sanwoolu that has taken over since ambode left, what has he achieved so far? That's the kind of people they want, not masses-oriented leaders. This is what wike too wanted to do in rivers by asking fubara to be giving him 2bn every month and if the guy fails, he'd exonerate himself and say he left office in 2023. Imagine wike also defending the 2bn, saying is it too much to ask for?

Dapo abiodun had apparently gone bankrupt before being endursed by Tinubu to govern ogun. His Heyden petroleum marketing company inside Ikeja GRA had been completely deserted, with only one diesel truck left. I know the place very well. The moment he became governor, everything changed overnight and he began to open more outlets. Can anyone point to a meaningful project this man had done in ogun so far? He'll end up the worst governor to govern that state at the end of his tenure. That's what you people want. Set yourselves free.

They're coming back again to deceive you with the 4th mainland bridge which sanwoolu dropped immediately after he won 2nd term. They know how to get you. It's you who should be wise and rally round any guy in your neighbourhood who can truly walk his talk and sponsor him. The masses always win with their choices( good.or bad). The politicians instruments are money and thuggery. Once you shun these, you'd truly elect good hands. I'm always focusing on Tinubu becasuse i know how the family treats us in Lagos. There likes of tinubu in every state. Send them packing.
Enough said.


The masses are foolish that's why we have demons in power
