2faced people
@Galore
@Galore, u have always been a fool. Yorubas only vote for credible andd competent leaders, they don't bring tribal, regional or religious sentiments into governance unlike the igbos. Remember they didn't vote for Obasanjo whom is their own. Yorubas are never 2faced people, they are the most educated and most intelligent in Nigeria. Stop hating or you go and jump in the lagoon, you jobless blog whore jumping from Stella to Ladun's blog et al. Get a fucking life.

ReplyDeleteAshafa and Desmond Elliot nkan? No word on their victory or defeat ni?
ReplyDeleteI must say that though I was in the Uniport Post Graduate hostel at the same time with our President G E Jonathan, I had very little contact with him.
ReplyDeleteHis party has been in power for 16 years & delivered mixed results. I started admiring him yesterday for the statesman-like gesture of conceding defeat ahead of the final announcement of the presidential results. It appears to me that he took the initiative without the inputs of hawks who fed daily at his expense.
I suggest further studies at Harvard, Columbia or London for him after a long rest and visit to Singapore.
Well done, Sir, for the new status of an international statesman.

ReplyDeleteHis party has ruled Nigeria for 16 years with mixed results delivered to Nigerians. From yesterday, I started admiring him for the statesman-like gesture of conceding defeat ahead of the final announcements of the presidential election results. It appears he took this initiative without the inputs of the hawks who have been fed daily at his expense.
After a long rest and private visit to Singapore, I will recommend further studies at Harvard, Columbia or London for the President. I believe he will earn the conceptual preparation to write his memoirs. The book by the American author, "A Witness To Power" will make a good companion.
Sir, congratulations for your new status as an international statesman from Nigeria.
