Mr, Doyin Okupe permit me to ask you this question without disregard intended. You are actually saying you said many things before election that weren’t true and Nigerians should grow up and move on? I am only asking because of trust and confidence which are very important to the people who have over the years, felt being lied to..
Doyin Okupe:
Pl Mr man, politicians are not priests. I Dont mean politicians lie, but something’s are just said for electioneering purposes. Did trump not say he will jail Hilary if he wins. Is he talking about that now,? That’s politics. Leave politics for politicians and face yr biz

So the question is: why do you resort to untruths just to win election? . Does it not matter to you that you are misleading the electorates?. For you, America does it, therefore it is acceptable. Argumentum ad homine is never a good defence lad.

Doyin,
Because there’s no value system, that’s y the abuse and ridicule will continue after election.
How dare you compare nijeria elements to USA election. Can animals behave like humans.
Nijeria is a zoo, govern by emperor Buhari. So stop crying, cos d same measure up used to insult apc, even if u lobby and join them, d will never trust u.
