    • The new gulfstream presidential private jet, (fitted with a fully stocked bar) landed at Lusaka city airport yesterday. He’s soliciting for an invitation to the inauguration so he can “test drive” the new jet to Lagos

    • Watch the space …Another aimless ulwendo waiting to happen .Nigeria here he comes to waste tax payers money and chinese Kaloba .

  1. i like Nigerian election body system. Nigeria being the most populated nation in africa can announce the results almost at the rate of america. Africa need to follow and all these dictators will go because they take weeks to announce results in capital cities.

    • @Pwii, kikikikiki, I hope they are both held in the same week. We cannot afford two flights to West Africa in the same month.
