My Dirty Boxers

  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...

  Funke Akindele will not deliver the numbers for PDP, I'll be happy to be wrong. (Photo credit: IG) Again, I have to talk about people who don’t agree with my takes on MY BLOG and as much as I write for people to read, I also wonder why people can’t jump and pass if they don’t align with my takes; to be very honest, it’s becoming really sickening. Fans of Funke Akindele hit my DM yesterday with series of attacks all because I laughed at the choice of their fav by PDP as the deputy to Jandor who is running to be governor of Lagos State. I’m surprised it’s not laughable to them but I said what I said. You can actually like someone and still give honest feedback about same person. The reason we have a toxic society is because we don’t tell ourselves the truth and we paper cracks, especially with these celebrities and the craziest part of this stan culture is that they don’t even know who the fuck you are. Seven people hit my DM to attack me over my article of yesterday and six ...

  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 T...

  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. ...
