APC Lagos has perfected ways of deceiving Lagosians with English language! Major reasons they drowned education in the state. They needed a populace who cannot think or decode information’s. Digital connectivity my foot! Lagos and Ogun state people are the dumbest voters we have in the world. MAGA is behind them! Set of people who will see nothing, drown in pains and still keep screaming “Eko o ni baje”. Ask them what has not spoilt and they will turn it to fight and start breaking bottles. I mean a retarded and archaic set, who can barely read and comprehend! Level of in-exposure is highest in Africa despite being a major city. A state you can fool for continuously for 2 decades and they will still keep screaming “Eko o ni baje” even when they are directly affected by the incompetence of several administrations. Now, they are anxious to sign up for another 8 years of woeful failure! Quote 3 Likes 2 Shares Share
