Aah, bor da na small thin oo. So, we jus how we geh some of our chiefs from de Traditional Council who belong to APP (Any Party in Power) da how we geh people who can BITC (Be In The Crowd).

Father, da true I talkin so oo. You see people walkin on streets embarrassing orlor people movement saying the go for party launch and when they come back sick from soaking rain, then they come begging for you to buy them medicine.
Bor wait oo, de person they go under de heavy rain for or walk up and down for can't buy them medicine?
Bor ehn da de stupidness I talkin about there. You nag eh five cent to eat. De person sef you going up and down for na even know yor name and da de one you killing yourself for-nonsense!
You know de orlor day, I was sitting with some of our friend them from our neighboring villages and they ask me to name de parties town criers in our village here supporting.
I said kpo, in our village here our politics na based on ideas and traditions oo. It based on de person who geh plenty money and de person who popular oo.

Anyway, we will see, October 10 jus round de corner, leh see who really geh de crowd.
