The voter intimidation going on in Lagos State is unacceptable. Governor Sanwo-Olu needs to speak out against it. APC is tarnishing the reputation of Yoruba people for political gain. This is not who we are, please. If Lagosians want GRV, let them have GRV. It's their choice.

1. Who dashed you 50 bitcoins? 🤥. 2. Folks who falsely accuse us of promoting tribalism are always the most tribalistic people. They're just angry because they can't dominate Nairaland with their strain of tribalism. 🤡. 3. You're just trying to promote your tribalistic app. 🙄.
2 years ago, I made an offer to buy the now-Dead Nairaland platform .for 50 BITCOIN when Bitcoin was $21k, but they refused to sell. Instead, they used it to promote Tribalsm and Ethnic Jingoism during the 2023 Elections, and today, they are dead, while @keduapp now has 10,000.

The first time Peter Obi said "go & verify" he must have been terrified that someone would call his bluff. But no one did, so he kept saying it. Everyone took his confidence as proof that he was truthful. Now people have started verifying because of his overconfident supporters.
