This is one of my heroine


Thank you Lola, the next generation will be proud of you.

Change was needed no matter how we look at it.

The country was rotten and stinking.

Let's bury our sentiments , political affiliation / soft spot for those of us that are not partisan.

God will liberate Lagos the way he liberated Nigeria.

Cos only a mad man will do the same thing for 16 years and expect anything different in the country.

I am feeling the change at all levels. If not for any reason, people sat up because they now know they will be held accountable and fired if culpable.

That is where good Governance starts.

She tried, but many of us did similar things. I did, maybe the only difference is I didnt give up my own work.

WHAT I ALSO DID

2011
I coordinated a team on Nairaland to raise circa 700k to do radio jingle for Buhari.

During break time in office, I rushed to radio stations (ok, cool fm that was close to my office then) to seal adverts for Buhari. For others, I spoke with their agents on phone.

Our adverts ran in 5 radio stations across 4 states: Lagos, Oyo, Osun and Rivers.

I did a pamphlet at my cost and was distributing in buses in Lagos.

Someone I met on Nairaland came to my office to drop 20 Buhari shirts. I distributed among boys in my neighbourhood.

Anywhere I went I was talking about Buhari.

I sent sms to almost on contacts on my phone at my cost.

I wrote not less than 15 articles published in Punch, Guardian, Tribune, Thisday etc to sell Buhari candidacy.

Remember Buhari wasn't this popular in the South then.

2015
I spent circa 100k from my pocket to sponsor local radio jingle in Kwara radio stations focusing my senatorial district, Kwara South. Buhari had become popular in Lagos then, so I didnt pay attention to Lagos.

I took on FFK in a popular, strong-worded article, "Fani-Kayode's Flurry of Fictions", published in several newspapers. That article almost cost me my job as my employers saw it in BusinessDay and cautioned me.

I championed the exposure of Fani Kayode's alteration of the Cambridge response to my friend, Sodiq Alabi's inquiry on Buhari's certificate. That my expose was the headline story in The Nation the next day "Blogger accuses Fani-Kayode of forging email". That was a risk to my life.

I went out on election day to mobilize okada riders to go vote.

I visited newspaper stands almost every Saturday to go reduce the effect of the misinformation about Buhari being spread by thick-voiced people.

I alerted APC chieftains, including el-Rufai, when I got a distress call from a Buharist friend in Akwa Ibom on mass rigging going on there on election day.

I talked to Okada riders and taxi drivers almost everyday.

The problem with most people is dat, they don't believe something will happen until it has happened.... It's not stupidity or weakness, it's just a human nature........

Lola I have 4 questions for you:
Were you sacked or you voluntarily quit your job
How good were you on that job
Are you married
Why are you now making so much noise noise about quitting your job

Ain't nothing to it. Don't leave your current job if you haven't got another I don't see any sense in what she did if it's true, she doesn't even have name, fame and any vibrant position to reckon with else she would have gotten a position in aso villa by now I'll say she's clueless her calculation fails her woefully if she the same man she campaign for can't recognize her role.think twice b4 reaching conclusion especially from work that pays your bills.
