Bro, pls help me

Thank God Tinubu didn't pick from those who flee battle at first gunshot.

Zik, Ojukwu and Kanu... all ran in their wives skirts. Even Peter Obi ran away even before PDP primaries.

Nigeria needs a brave man like BAT as President. Not the effeminate one who will run from Aso Rock when Boko Haram attacks Borno.

I don't just know why I am laughing.

Like Peter Obi rightly said; "If this criminality is allowed to live on by the Judiciary which is the last hope of the common man then he will believe this is a coordinated criminality."

There is no sane country devoid of corrupt elements that would swear Tinubu in after seeing what happened during the presidential election.

The great people of the SE are already building resistance block. By the time other tribes that can hardly see will understand what is happening they have already been overrun by camel 🐪 republics fate.

Wubbich!

emilokan will not be sworn in!
