@investbamboo How long will it take you to resolve what ever problems you have with your app? I swear if I had not funded my bamboo app I would’ve just deleted it asap.
@ruffydfire Dear @customsnigeria I am a graduate of computer science and until I graduated I was never able to afford a laptop, now a friend in Europe offer to send a used laptop and a phone for me to start life and you are demanding N370, 225.50 for clearance? How can I afford that?

@sowore@KwankwasoRM I have never seen someone as confused as Omoyele Sowore. So now you believe there’s heaven? 😂 Your donations will reduce this time. You sef go dey OK ✅
Dear @ubifranklin1 if you still support Ben Ayade for the Northern Senatorial District, it raises concerns about how much attention is being given to the realities on ground and the welfare of the people.
Your promise to the people of Ekori is still not kept. Integrity is key.
Dear friends, it’s your constitutional right to support whoever you choose. I’m supporting Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for President and Senator Prince Bassey Otu for Governor of Cross River State.
Senator Prof Benedict Ayade for Cross River Northern Senatorial District.
Senator Asuquo Ekpenyong for Cross River southern senatorial district.
Senator Eteng jones Williams

Your promise to the people of Ekori is still not kept. Do politics well my brother.
If leaders genuinely served the people between elections, if projects were completed, if young people had jobs, if farmers received support, and if small businesses flourished the influence of money on election day would diminish significantly.
Say no to vote buying!
Vote Buying in Nigeria:
A hungry man isn’t going to waste time debating ideology. A struggling mother doesn’t have the luxury to discuss policy. When it comes down to survival, political morals take a backseat. Vote buying isn’t just a problem during elections;
So, I ask you — how do you talk about long-term democracy to someone who’s worried about where their next meal is coming from? We keep blaming the poor for selling their votes, but we rarely confront the system that keeps them in poverty.
For her, the ₦5,000 or ₦10,000 she received that day wasn’t about corruption; it was about survival. It was food for her children, a momentary relief. Experience had taught her that once the politicians win, they vanish.
I remember during the FCT council elections in Abuja, a woman was interviewed, and her words struck a chord. She said she would sell her vote just to eat now because after the election, she wouldn’t see any benefits again. That statement encapsulates Nigeria’s political tragedy
When communities lack clean water, when graduates wander the streets without jobs, and when market women can’t get small loans without being exploited, democracy feels like a distant concept. It means nothing to someone who’s hungry.
And poverty sticks around because good governance has failed at the grassroots level. When the government doesn’t deliver the benefits of democracy — like quality education, accessible healthcare, jobs, security, and food stability — people are left to fend for themselves.
The poor masses, who have been neglected for four long years, suddenly become “important” for just one day. And then, after the elections, it’s back to silence.
Here’s the hard truth: vote buying thrives because poverty persists.
But how many are actually asking why people feel the need to sell their votes in the first place?
Every election cycle, we witness the same old routine. Politicians stroll around with cash in hand, agents lurk in the shadows, and money exchanges happen quietly.
