Fear God a little.”
Nwaokenneya Peter reacted: “Oga you better go and sit down and stop wasting your time, Nigeria no longer need old and sick people like you. We need a young dynamic and vibrant President that will be active enough to tackle Nigerian problems. We are tired of sick people ruling us.”
As for Youngest Dickson, “Oga Tinubu no need to inform we de youths. We don’t need it. Kindly keep your intentions to yourself. If you are supposed to be a civil servant, aren’t you supposed be in your pension…70yrs old man.”

“Nigerian leaders keep praising late Nelson Mandela but none of them can make the kind of sacrifices he made, he just led South Africa for a single tenure & retired from active politics till he died.
