@Babygiwa@O_basslet@Mr_JAGs I followed them to office and I was surprised when the system printed my car details (image and plate no) dated April. I just paid 20k jeje. Honestly, that’s the way to go. No harassment in the road. Tech solves this @Ayobami_J

Where is Professor Amupitan?
I don't know him, and we never met.
I have no reason to wish to meet him, either. When they nominated him as the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the nation received the shocking disclosure of his 2020 legal brief to the international community in which he claimed that the violence in the country was a Muslim pogrom against Christians.
The violence affected and still affects followers of all religions and speakers of every language.
For this reason, I, among many others, felt bad about the assertion he made and assumed that he was not a good choice for that office. This country's elections had incrementally got better with each new leadership.
Professor Jega gave the nation its best election since the disputed June 12, 1993, that produced Chief MKO Abiola, now recognised as a duly elected president who did not, however, take the office.
Professor Mahmud Yakubu did the impossible by rallying the civil society, CSOs, and local and foreign observers to approve all his elections.
Not one election under him was ever rejected by any serious observer or CSO.
Now, look at what has just happened in Osun state. Under Amupitan's leadership, the country has attained a transparent electoral process.
Everyone - civil society, the EU, local and foreign observers are commending this standout performance, praising the exceptional skill and determination to improve the process as manifested by INEC's seamless uploading of the governorship election results to its IReV.
With all the loud acclaim that followed, however, I have been asking myself, where is the captain of the ship, Professor Amupitan?
He hasn't picked the microphone, 48 hours hence, or appeared before the TV cameras to proudly show off the success. Where is he?
We are a country of wilful behaviour, chest beating public officials who are proudly and aggressively proclaiming success without achieving half of what we are talking about here. Where is he?
We are not used to seeing this kind of humility, patience, and restraint. Isn't it fair that the man should come out of his shell and dance to the drums in celebration?
Aside from the fact that, as Nigerian citizens, the governors are under no constitutional obligation to inform him of their presence in Osun state, except perhaps as a matter of political courtesy, something the moderators could have pointed out to him without derailing the conversation, talking about civilised politics while mocking the ethnic name of an opposing politician and fellow governor from another ethnic group is just as foul. It is an unmistakable display of ethnic chauvinism that should have no place at that level of political discourse.
Polygamy fixes a lot of rubbish even though it has its own disadvantages which I am not interested in. Your aunt won't have been preoccupied with worrying thoughts if the husband had no other person. In fact, he could be home asking for what to eat and your aunt will tell him to fix himself something because she can't die cooking. However, in her current situation, she will do anything to make him come back home.
Polygamy stops nonsense 😁
