Funke Akindele as Jandor's running mate? Straight win APC and over 2.5

 

Jandor picked Funke Akindele as running mate, quite interesting but Sanwo-Olu will win with a landslide. (Photo credit: Banky's status)

I am an avowed feminist, I’m sure we’re clear on the type of feminism I practice so I don’t need to go over it for the umpteenth time but if you’re reading me for the first time, I am for the respect and protection of women and nothing on what bitter lots practice on Naija Twitter, you get?

I caught wind of Lagos PDP’s decision to hand Funke Akindele the running mate role to Jandor in the forthcoming gubernatorial elections and I really can’t stop laughing. Again, I am glad that we’ve gotten to a point where parties can casually field women but Funke?

Let me set this straight, with Funke Akindele as the running mate to Jandor against Babajide Sanwo-Olu of APC, it’s straight win for the incumbent and I kid you not, Sanwo-Olu doesn’t even have to campaign and he will win hands down… You too see.

First and foremost, Funke Akindele is a known Tinubu daughter; are you even playing with us? This now tastes a lot like the Jimmy Agbaje episodes; dude was legit showing up on paper, yet he was getting paid handsomely by the ruling party as the sole supplier of equipment to Lagos State hospitals… Shey you dey whine me ni?

Let’s talk about Funke Akindele for a moment, shall we? It is not my place to even discuss anyone’s character but with all the baggage she’s carrying and all the people that have come out to drag her on how she treats people around her, PDP thinks she’s the right candidate?

As much as we want a second opinion in Lagos, it’s as clear as day that we won’t get it at the next election, forget social media people that probably won’t vote on election day. If you want to ride on celebrity status to win public sympathy, Funke Akindele isn’t your man for that job.

There are lots of women with strong reputation that PDP can leverage for the election but someone thought it wise that a woman that is currently battling separation/divorce is the right option? I really didn’t want to bring that into it and I apologize if anyone finds it offensive but be prepared for another four years of Pontius Pilate (Sanwo-Olu) as your Lagos governor again.

Tinubu probably planted his social daughter in PDP to mess them up as always and I hope they realize it soon. With Funke as Jandor’s running mate, Sanwo-Olu will win with a landslide. Straight win and over 2.5.

If her name is Precious, you're single

People will leave you wondering if you're abnormal, omo iya mi, ma fo, na dem be the problem not you. Oya stay jiggy make we enter road. (Photo credit: Google)   “When you’re losing a tug of war to a tiger, release the rope before it gets to your arm; you can always get another rope, of course, except if you want prosthetics; you don’t want another arm.” - Ancient Chinese proverb remixed by Rambo. 2023 taught me a lot, and one of them is this: “If that person looks too good to be true, don’t force it; the person is certainly a fraud." And this rings true for everything. Whether living or non-living, don’t force it; it’s too good to be true. I was going to write about Precious, but I realized it’s a waste of time. Someone would text or call to tell me I’m pained, and it would get me emotional. I’d rather leave it as it is and sweep it under the rug like I always do. No worries on this one. Lesson number 1 from 2023: Tomorrow isn’t promised! See, a day before my mother passed

One careless night

The antelope is badly wounded right in front of the hunter, it can live again, only if the guardian angel smiles again... (Photo credit: Geo Wild) I randomly remember how my mom forced Mount Zion movies on me that year, but after the incident of the other day, one famous movie of those folks rings true in my head. One careless night. Just so we’re clear, no matter how hard you try, you’ll never understand this post; it’s a personal rant that will chronicle several events, and, while I am putting this in the public space, I still advise you to stop reading from this point. Omo! These are the days I prayed against, but it is what it is. I remember that beautiful Sunday. The indecision at first nearly ruined the script, but I saw the value of resilience. I remember the jokes about the green dress that looks like a 2-Sure promoter uniform. LOL, the aura was special though. It’s been a long time; something was off, and despite P.O. ringing in my ears, I still ran into the ditch. It was e

One hellish year and my one and half legs

This has been like a home recently but, the goal is to get stronger when it gets tougher. I'm fighting to win. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone) I remember promising Bukky (formerly the Peridot of BR, now the Peridot of UK) that I'd write a lot this month; it definitely won’t be every day like I did last year, but I’ll try, and here you go. To start with, it’s been a tough year by all standards. Not sure there’s ever a year in which I felt half as much physical pain as this year; 2019 had the inglorious award until 2023 pulled up, and here’s me hoping I’ll never have to see a more painful year than this one. The past three weeks have been the toughest. I spent more days with the physiotherapists than at work, but I am probably the strongest human I know. I am not giving up anytime soon, but the pains better ease up before I do something crazy. Yesterday was the International Day of People Living with Disabilities. It should be a public holiday, but while I wasn’t physicall
