In earlier days when Sir Ahmadu Bello and his colleagues trooped to one place you knew one completed public project was being opened or a new one was being inaugurated. Today politics and public responsibility are different. Yes very much different.
Congratulations to the new couple, may Almighty Allah bless the union and grant your heart desires ameena.
What responsible leaders will flaunt this kind of charade in the event of the missing girls? ….Only Naija!
No disrespect to the two wonderful couples but what about the missing hundreds that the celebrants’ parents are liable to PROTECT?
Food for thought!
Wake up my people from your self imposed slumber!
Happy to jubilate and celebrate but there’s perfect time for all good thing!
My JOY is sadness when I am the only one laughing!!!
Togo is not as large as Lagos…it’s high time every state stands as a Nation to rule it’s own…marriages like this won’t be contracted for the purpose of securing the future of a few but the Nation itself
Congrats to bride and groom
Permit me to request every One to boycot cow meat in 2018 as your own way of lending your voice towards ending the atrocities being committed against the innocent by Fulani herds men
Remember…the cow doesn’t have to eat bones to get calcium and other nutrients…friends, let’s form the habit of eating lots of green plants and other substitute for meat…just for 2018…besides the health woes of consuming cow products outweighs it’s benefit
Boycot cow meat consumption today!
The young couple deserve this and more. I wish them all the joy good marriage could bring. But their fathers should remember that other Nigerian also deserves this kind of life, especially that lot of state funds have gone into this. I wish the couple a Happy married life.
