This faux moral sainthood you all tend to put on PO is hilarious. He has never called himself a saint. His fans don't look at him as a saint, just a better option than the corrupt politicians we're used to. But his detractors keep trying to bestow sainthood on him. It's weird
That Oluremi Tinubu's comment tells you the quality of the minds of the people in power and why we're still light years behind most of the rest of the world. Her mind just couldn't imagine anything better than that for the mass of Nigerians.

"Why are they still complaining? Haven't we given them enough money to start akara business?"
Smh!
First she told us to plant ugwu leaves in our backyards
Now she's encouraging us to sell akara and kuli-kuli on the roadside
One thing I hate about Nigeria is that it forces us to treasure bad times from the past because the present is worse
Patience Jonathan wasn't all that, but we now have to write anecdotes about her because Remi Tinubu is a disgrace to first ladies

How cars went from 3 million to 9 million.
Phones went from 300k plus to millions of Naira.
Rent for a 3 bedroom flat in central
mainland went from 1.5million to 5 million annually.
All this in the span of 3 years, and you’re saying we should vote for the same man who made all this so?
It’s like you’re m@d.
