Thank God, Obanikoro’s revelation isn’t coming from EFCC/DSS. If not, our fencist&rule of law lawyers would have been asking for evidence.

Lamzee: “Withdrawing billions in cash. Naija I hail ooo.”

Spako said: “The real cause of recession is revealed.”

Pheelz: “From thief to thief! ! Politicians in Nigeria are heartless o! !!! We don’t have to leave this to God. ..if you have anything at home start using it now to curse them.”

Samuel Anyanwu: “And I’m here looking for cool money to buy a trailer to improve my logistics business from Zaki Biam, Guma, Vandeikya in Benue to Portharcourt.”

Anonymous said: “As a Lagos indigene and resident, I’m just so happy that Fashola won this thief in the 2007 governorship elections. Not to say that Fashola’s admin didn’t have its ‘k-leg’ moments, but from Tinubu to Fashola to Ambode has been progress and continuity in my state. I wonder what this mofo would’ve done if he had won. I don’t even want to imagine what Lagos would be like now.”

Dustmalik said: “By the way, didn’t Obanikoro just return back on Monday, and immediately submitted himself to the EFCC and has been cooperating? So when were you expecting all these revelations to come out, next year? Try and grow some brain.”
