My Dirty Boxers

  What was Tinubu's comic relief for? Was that really needed? (Photo credit: Sahara Reporter) Err, I was going to write about Laycon of Big Brother Naija season 5 (Lockdown season) today before but before it becomes stale, let me ask followers of Bola Ahmed Tinubu why their team released the ill-advised video of their Cristiano Ronaldo on a fitness bike for the world to shey yeye him? Is it ment? What is the need to mislead the general public on a video that you don’t need forensic tests to know it’s almost as old as their candidate? Was that done to show Nigerians their candidate is fit? Why not look for something else to sell? He is not fit, forget that feature, can you come up with something else? Who do us like this sef? Just yesterday, I was complaining about the rate at which many of our top brains are leaving the shores of Nigeria and we can’t do jack about it; isn’t it obvious that we can’t get a solution at the next election? Which of the three can actually deliver sol...

  Congratulations to Senator Jackson Adeleke and his hyper active nephew Davido but what would his regime look like? (Photo credit: IG) I woke up to the news that Jackson won the gubernatorial election in Osun state and I can’t contain my joy, certainly not because I’m a fan of PDP or even the dancing senator, but because we are gradually getting to debunk the nonsense beliefs that our votes don’t count… We’re getting there. I have a few take aways from the Osun elections and I’ll happily share in no particular order. Just so we’re clear, politics is local and you need to understand the dynamism of each playground, a clear understanding of the peculiarities of each environment is a precursor to unprecedented victory. I discovered that the use of social media became a battle between the popular nuisance, Portable and fans favorite Davido, lol there’s only one winner in that; it takes only a fool to seek numbers through the use of a temporary comrade. Whoever sanctioned the Porta...

  Democracy is a joke in Nigeria but we can celebrate because it's Buhari's last... Where do we go from here? (Photo credit: Someone's status) It’s the Democracy Day in Nigeria, a day set aside to celebrate the movement that granted us the supposed freedom to choose who lead us as the constitution allows but are we truly free? Can we say for sure, that since 1999 that the democratic dispensation started again after historic military abortions, that votes have counted and the principal officers that the people wanted have been the ones in charge? I’ve seen lots of ads by brands on democracy day and they’re mostly about asking people to get their PVC, and I’m wondering who we’re going to vote with the PVC when it is as clear as day that the battle is between the two parties that have failed us in the past. I know my compatriots are all about Peter Obi, but how many of these people understand how politics work in Nigeria? You need presence in every ward in every local go...

  Governor Nyesom Wike destroyed Dele Momodu in an interview on Thursday, is there any comeback move for Davido's boy? (Photo credit: Google) In the midst of the fast and furious work pressure, I caught wind of the comedy show going on within the Nigerian political scene, omo! This has to be the most interesting time even to learn about Nigerian politics. Did you hear about Peter Obi’s resignation from PDP? I’m hearing the former PDP hopeful has joined Labor party on a permanent basis for an undisclosed fee; the transfer window is in full swing in the Nigerian politics league, I’ll be your Fabrizio Romano. Rumor has it that former Niger-Delta super star, Goodluck Jonathan has secretly signed for APC; the first attempt failed at the medical level with many people reporting that the form he claimed was bought for him by some Fulani folks wasn’t entirely true. It’s crazy how this man that a lot of Nigerians nurse sympathy for, managed to ruin his own stock by flirting with APC. ...

  You think these lots are at loggerheads? I don't think so but a good number of the guys in this picture have purchased the 100m form. Bloody comedians. (Photo credit: Naija Pundits) After I saw the pictures of the APC galacticos at their party convention few days ago, I knew these lots were whining us all these while; they know what they’re doing and we should not fall for it. I wrote about the folks I’m never wasting my vote on, this is a sequel to that post. This is about the ongoing drama in the APC party and my conviction that it is all a game to confuse everyone and deflect attention from their main candidate. I will throw my two hands in the air and accept defeat if it comes out to be the other way round but I don’t think Tinubu wants to run for presidency. I can understand he has spent so much money and his followers are hell bent on imposing him on us but I don’t think that nigga wants to run. Then the issue of 100m for declaration of interest form, isn’t it a joke ...
