However, if the agency is generating huge surpluses from sale of forms, isn't it time to review the price downwards to make life easier for applicants and their parents? This will be a popular step!

Remember how PDP fought Asiwaju every step of the way?
- They imported thugs to stop projects
- They blocked Enron, the first IPP
- They seized Lagos LGA funds
- They refused to grant special status
- They blocked EVERYTHING good
Now they want to ‘Free Lagos’. What a joke.

Main takeaway from the epic debate between Tolu Ogunlesi & Osita Chidoka is that 16 yrs of PDP was a massive feeding frenzy. They started projects ONLY to plunder the treasury. They impoverished us, got rich, bought property locally & abroad, and now they want more!!! God forbid.

PDP were never meant to be in opposition. They are a military creation designed to (mis)rule Nigeria in perpetuity. That’s why former members like Atiku could come back & push them around. Because of this & other internal contradictions, they’ll die a natural death post-election.

This curious and illogical statement itself is a red flag. So you hoped the terror campaign would suppress the vote. You may have just implicated yourself. Why are you surprised that people would vote someone who saved them?
One obvious red flag is the statistical impossibility of states ravaged by the war on terror generating much higher voter turnouts than peaceful states.

This is hate speech. Fulani 'Herdsmen' already form between 25-30% of the population of Oyo State, particularly Oke Ogun where I come from.
They have integrated, even intermarried and we live together in peace.
Why are you trying to promote hatred? Shame.
If Buhari wins a 2nd term, Fulani Herdsmen will spread deep into Southern Nigeria using Oyo state as launch pad. Remember Buhari and his Fulani brothers had already 'marked' Oyo state in the early 2000s during Lam Adesina's era.
