Lol you want to put the house on fire and go one side to watch it burn … give piss a chance, you say NO

Congrats to madam Kemi!

BTW:

Having under-aged northern children in detention, honestly, is the height of heartlessness against the north by president Tinubu. I have said it before: Tinubu doesn't mean well for northerners in particular and Nigerians in general. Even the Niger-Delta is not spared.

This is the best time for the north, south-south, and Southeast to form an alliance to oust Tinubu come 2027.

Tinubu has turned himself to a demi-god; hence, doesn't give a damn whether Nigerians are facing hardship or not.

He doesn't give a damn about the north, the east or the south-south. Little wonder he has continued to appoint only his kinsmen from the southwest to his cabinet.

Stereotype journalism or wetin we go call this. Every time 5 things this, 20 things that

She is a very beautiful woman. That's what I always see first in her.

Looks quite calm and intelligent too.

Some people I know from a certain part will start claiming her and say she is from their region moreover she is "more British" than the king.

Tinubu may have funded her campaign. There's nothing that man cannot do to grab power and run with it anywhere. UK people must be careful.

Who knows if it's why we can't see any difference in the economy even without fuel subsidy.

Thunder faya FFK for talking trashes about this intellectual woman

If she were to be in nigeria, she won't even smell a councilor position, nigeria is a dream killer abeg, if you have the opportunity to Japa, Japa abeg

But not with the similar bad vibes being currently experienced here in Nigeria.

The ones in charge of the Nigerian government are from where?

Kemi is never going to lead UK Conservative Party to Election !

This is the same pattern when the party realized there's no election in sight.

No one is ready to engaged as opposition leader until a year to the election.

She'll be removed with Vote of No Confidence a year to the election in 2027.

Noted.

Hmmmmm , I have been thinking the type of uproar that would have happened if the same scenario presented it self in the south west like when Zik contested to become the leader of the in western region before tribalism birthed in Nigeria.

What was zik even contesting before the carpet crossing of the 60s and the birth of tribalism in the Nigerian electoral space.

It seems the british and Americans are either made by a different God, have different DNA or are different species of human

Tinubu is from Iragbiji but his grandfather is NUPE !!

Congratulations my sister!
