ReplyDeleteThis is why the country is going down the toilet. Why on earth should our people still be so naive in 2014.
They are selling out their birth-right and these Politicians have thrown all caution into the wind.
U never see anytin continue to cry that is Fayose for you .....i no him not today his work is the one that works for him
ReplyDeleteI hope this is not 14,000 bags of expired rice. Because people are poor doesn't mean they don't deserve better.
ReplyDeleteYou guys should leave Fayose alone, why is APC crying foul, do you know during the time of Governor Fashola's campaign, they came to bribe me with N500 and Indomie here in Lagos, but I refused while my neigbours' collected it, forget about these politicians they are all in this game, that is politics for you, if Fayose uses his own strategies to win the election, let APC zero their mind and accept their faith and stop crying foul!
