#TinubuAtChathamHouse WEEP NOT FOR TINUBU, BUT NIGERIA. ~Dele Momodu. "Call it what you will, what happened at CHATHAM HOUSE LONDON yesterday was a complete charade. The BOLA TINUBU handlers fumbled, and bungled it big time. They showcased him like a packaged invalid. It would have been better to present him as a brilliant politician and administrator, warts and all, who's capable of independent thoughts. No man is perfect. His gaffes would have been more pardonable and acceptable...  He was expected to sell his own vision and mission...  But what we saw yesterday was a theatre of the absurd.  It brought back memories of our great President ALHAJI UMARU MUSA YAR'ADUA and how he mysteriously disappeared from radar and some of his aides governed by proxy.  I was one of those who led the ENOUGH-IS-ENOUGH protest against the YAR'ADUA cabal in Abuja in 2010. What was unacceptable then is even more unacceptable now with benefits of hindsight.  Our country should be placed ab

Joshua said this in a series of videos shared on his Snapchat on Saturday as he recounted his experience at an American airport. He said,  "You can't run away from your past, everytime I step into the US, they call me into the US customs or border protection.

So young kids I'm just saying, while you may be coming up, whatever you may be doing, even if it's getting into a fight outside the club because you're drunk. Anything on your criminal record can cause you problem when trying to travel to the USA, so keep your record clean. Stay clean, stay out of trouble." Credit: Sn

      Obidients have accused leaders of their own party of being involved in forgery.  Obidients have expelled the DG of their own Presidential Campaign Council due to allegations of fraud and misappropriation of funds.
