I am sure Arise TV "the morning show" crew leader, Oseni will attack President Tinubu with BS analysis for the planned China trip. Oseni really thinks that President Tinubu or average intelligent Nigeria is listening to his unintelligent suggestions and constant criticism, especially his "we" stuff. He should be the leader of QNON or even a section MAGA group. Before he opens his mouth, an average listening knows exactly what his contribution will be. I call him a google man.
