HOW TRUE??? My two children that are graduates don't own cars because they don't have money to buy one- Peter Obi

Former Anambra state governor cum PDP Vice Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, says his son and daughter, who are graduates, currently don't own cars because they do not have the money to buy one. 

Obi disclosed this while speaking with his kinsmen in Agulu, Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State during a lecture organised in his honour by Agulu Peoples Assembly recently.

According to the former governor, many Nigerians who crave for luxury expect it to be given to them free of charge.

“I have two graduates who are working, a boy and a girl, and the two of them don’t own any car because they haven’t made enough money to buy a car. They were here for the Christmas, and I was talking to some people about them and the person said he saw my son and that he always jumps on buses and tricycles. Some people don’t like it that way. They believe I am rich and that my children should not be trekking, and that they should be provided cars. But I believe they do not have the money; so, they have to trek.
“Who will give them cars? is it me? My money is my own so, they should work for theirs.” he said

Loads of Manchester United fans are doing the same thing ahead of Manchester City vs Liverpool clash

These Manchester United fans have made it clear who they’re supporting in tonight’s huge clash at the top of the Premier League.

Manchester City host Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium in what could end up being one of the most important games of the season in the title race.

The Reds travel to Manchester with the advantage for the moment, going into tonight’s game seven points ahead of the reigning champions.

However, such is City’s quality and strength after strolling to the title last season, a win tonight would certainly put them back in it, perhaps even as favourites to win the trophy again.

How does this all affect United? Well, it doesn’t really, except their fans are absolutely desperate not to see Liverpool end their long wait for the title, it would seem.

LFC have not been champions of England since all the way back in 1990 – an extraordinary run for such a previously dominant side.
