please think, how can u attribute workings of God to that man, u may never understand.
think for a minute, will u say ibb and abdulsalami brought obj out of abacha’s jail alive or it was by the grace of god.
ok, think again, do u think obj’s parents were rich not to talk of him being born rich. he is from a very poor background. by the grace of god he became somebody.
he became somebody not by merit but through a faulty system that does not encourage merit but mediocre.
maybe u will tell me obj provides the air u breath.
my dear friend wake up.
wetin be your own and many other people own were merit am, the likes of that stupid demented senile old foolish man obj dey deprive us.
wake up, wake up, wake up and start thinking
they are not doing u a favor
have heard of how the youths wo elections in greece
do u know how old their president or is it pm is – 40 my friend
then we want to support a mugagbe who by all standards is not learned in the name of buhari to rule us from 72 years of age to about 80 when he must have become more demented than he is now.
think my friend.
already, watch him gmb speak, he is forgetful, he cannot even answer simple questions on aljazeera.
haba, is it so bad that we are blind and deaf to the obvious
or we just want to remain in the captivity of these senile oldmen
wake up but if u choose to continue sleeping that in itself is even more dangerous

You guys have lost your bearing: the man you so much detest brought out your GEJ from virtual obscurity into national limelight. Your man clearly has bitten the finger that nurtured him and nature abhors such ingratitude.
