A True Story:
A beautiful story of a comeback..
"When I got pregnant for my boyfriend in my 300 level at the University of Ibadan in 2001, I tried to abort the pregnancy but I couldn't. (story for another day)
I became a shadow of myself. My boyfriend did not deny the pregnancy, but he was a student too then studying at Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-ife. He was the youngest in his family and we had disappointed our parents.
I started participating less in class. I'd stare into spaces, confused about life. The pregnancy was barely two months old then.

------------------------------------
Unarguable is the fact that Bentleys have the most luxurious interiors of any car, both luxury, and basic. But you can argue if you feel like.
No other car company in the world pays such painstaking Image attention to even the minutest details, and basic issues, in the quest for maximum comfort, as Bentley.
But this comes at a cost, and that cost is why Bentley is not for every joe.

''As for those who argue that Tinubu should fight corruption in the sector instead of ending the subsidies, I hope they know how ridiculous that proposal sounds? If Buhari, who got into power by pretending to be the very embodiment of incorruptibility could not fight corruption, how do you expect Tinubu to fare better? How?
Tinubu himself knows he does not have the moral legitimacy to challenge anyone on corruption.The few times he opened his mouth to talk about corruption,he induced serious laughter.I am sure he is smart enough to not overreach himself

''There are 3 categories of people that defend bad governments in Nigeria.
1. Those that Nigeria has damaged psychologically. They think suffering is a patriotism indicator.
2. Those that want to defend their choice (ego) at all cost.They will rather sound ridiculous defending the funny actions of their choice than accept in humility that their choice got it wrong. They have given themselves the task of mining out justifications for all govt actions. They lie to themselves that that is a sign of patriotism. They are the Shalaye Group,

There are good marriages and bad marriages.
Good men and bad men.
Great women and crappy women.
Having great attributes and attitude, isn't a function of gender.
If you have made a wrong choice of a spouse, and you are undergoing domestic violen'ce, please prayerfully take your exit, from such a union.
There are no regrets in the grave. No clarity in chaos. No understanding,when the mind is darkened by depression and clouded by fear and confusion.

This period is not the time for such luxury, unless your dad is Dangote, you have access to unlimited cash, or you are a trust fund kid.
If you are none of the above, park the car and then buy a fuel-efficient Toyota Corolla.’
SUV cars come with a 100-liter capacity; to fill it up to the brim will cost you 50,000 plus, but with less than 25k, you can fill up your Toyota Corolla fuel tank, and the truth is that Toyota Corolla cars are fuel efficient and burn less fuel

Without being immodest, no one, I mean not a single person, has disagreed with me.
Why did I bring this up?
I found out since February, after INEC declared Tinubu, that the guy (Tinubu) had many SILENT Yoruba supporters than I had thought or anticipated.
And this support was based on ETHNICITY.
Absolutely nothing more.
