I lost my Dad in 2012 and we couldnβt get his gratuity from the government then. For 8 years my mum was going in and out of secretariat without any success.
Seyi Makinde got elected, we got paid without stress and we built our own house. Now tell me why I shouldnβt vote Seyi??

You people are contributing to the gradual Cultural loss of some elements of the Yoruba culture, especially our food. The Yoruba people have lot of local delicacies but nobody to cook them and nobody is teaching the new generation how to? Most of us donβt even know what they are!
If I was ever to marry because of food, Iβll be marrying from the Igbo tribe.
Too many meals. Too many GOATED meals.
