I strongly believe we should start advocating for a law which will forbid anybody without enough clothes in their wardrobe from contesting for political office.

No Rich Wardrobe No Election
World's Longest Traffic Jam (Did You Know)
The longest time traffic jam was in Beijing, China. It was over 60 miles long and lasted 11 days.
Imagine how orderly the motorists are. Each vehicle on its lane.
If it was in Nigeria, how many lanes do you think the normal 4 lanes would be turned into and how many days or weeks would it have lasted?

DANGOTE INVESTS IN REFINERY TO BUY ARSENAL
Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote, who has expressed an interest in buying Arsenal, has told the BBC that he would be in a better position to buy the team as soon as the refinery he is building in Ondo State is completed and begins production.
The businessman also said that Gunners needs new ownership and direction if they are to progress in the Premier League.
Dangote, 58, is Africa’s richest man according to Forbes , and is worth a reported $15.7bn which puts him 67th on the list of the world’s richest people.
The businessman was linked with an approach to buy a stake in the club in 2010, before he pulled out, but now believes that the building of an oil refinery in Nigeria will give him the funds to return with a new offer.
Dangote is worth more than the two majority owners Stan Kroenke and Alisher Usmanov.
“When we get this refinery on track, I will have enough time and enough resources to pay what they are asking for,” he told BBC Hausa .
“There were a couple of us who were rushing to buy (in 2011), and we thought with the prices then, the people who were interested in selling
were trying to go for a kill,” Dangote added.
“We backtracked, because we were very busy doing other things, especially our industrialisation.”
The Gunners have a history of selling star players like Robin van Persie (£25m to Man Utd in 2012) and Cesc Fabregas (to Barcelona in 2011 for £35m), while they also moved on
Emmanuel Adebayor, Gael Clichy and Samir Nasri to title rivals Man City for over £50m in recent years.
"They are doing well, but they need another strategic direction,” Dangote said. “They need more direction than the current situation, where they just develop players and sell them.”
Kroenke is the Gunners’ majority shareholder with 66.64 percent of the club’s parent company Arsenal Holdings plc, while Russian — Uzbek
Usmanov owns 29.11 percent.
