You be ode confirmed liability

Anything to move our Darling country forward all around is all we want at MANNA 🇳🇬.

We will get to the nation of our dreams whether the evil ones like it or not.

God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬

Consolidation.

We no go hear noise for this thread. Silent mode activated.

Werey people will be happy now.
I no mention anybody but watch as he go pepper them for body

No matter what,
Frustrated swines and despicable rascals will still wail.
Nothing, absolutely nothing in life can make such people happy (they abound in all tribes in Nigeria 🇳🇬).

Anyways, if some people don't want to be happy in life,
Happiness will be far.... so far away from them.
Happiness is a personal thing.

Nigeria will be great in our lifetime,
No diggity.

We Rise.

Nothing can please the children of perdition

.

Nice. Congrats .

Tinubu keeps welcoming them with open arms. It still won't stop the children of hate from saying terrible things about him.

BAT is really magnanimous in victory.

I am sure this is not base on Emilokan but base on merit

Don't be decieved

This whole list came up because of this man

NORTH-EAST

1. Hon Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani (Bauchi State)-Priority

The deal was simple

We will pay you 10million dollars to any offshore of your choice and make sure you retire as a supreme court Justice.

Allow us win and we will keep our promise


This is APC keeping their promise

They already ready for another cash out.
Hard work pushed them there

What is reserve

hmmm fear no let them deny igbos justice... they fear our next move

Executive, Legislative and the Judiciary in Nigeria are one and same. Its self deceit to hope for anything meaningful to come out from the three arms.
When Nigerians are ready they would take power out of the hands of those evil three-in-one institution.

Congratulations to the new apeal judges

Let's the masses have your trust

Tsamani has been nominated for a job well done. He will be surely confirmed.

Nonsense. If they like make them add the president, INEC chairman, Imo Governor or that all who ever them like. There is no hope for the common man in this part of the world.....

Congratulations

I will like to know the yardstick for this promotion cos the Southeast are over represented
