After Wole Soyinka was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1986, an admirer came up to him and congratulated him, telling him how much they loved his writing.
“And what have you read by me?” Soyinka asked.
“Things Fall Apart,” the admirer replied. #HistoryVille
The dude in this pic, @OUKtweets, is a convict.
He ruled Abia State in SE #Nigeria by himself for 8 yrs; & through his chosen satrap for another 8 yrs.
He has bn in @SenateNGR another 7 yrs.
Abia State is a mere 6,320 km2.
His main achievement & claim to fame is that there is no electricity in his village or digital signal.
That, of course, is a lie.
He says he cannot vote if the law requires that results be transmitted directly from polling units to a central digital display.
That is another lie.
But that is his habit after a life of practice in crime.
....But then, he cannot even put on his slippers.

Xi Jinping, San Francisco, 1985.
Xi, then a county-level official from Zhengding in China's Hebei Province, made his first visit to the United States, with San Francisco as his initial stop. He was in his early 30s and part of a Chinese delegation studying agricultural and local governance practices.
He then traveled to lowa as part of a delegation studying American agriculture. In Muscatine, Xi and several other Chinese officials were hosted by local residents for a few days to experience small-town life.
Xi stayed in the home of Eleanor and Thomas Dvorchak, where he reportedly slept in their son's room, which still had posters of American rock bands on the wall. Years later, when Xi became China's leader, he invited some of those lowa hosts to Beijing, referring to them as "old friends."

When you arrest Joe Ajaero, you are arresting the labour chief, no difference. After all if the man doesn't have that office, we wouldn't know him or give a f.. k.
