Slowly buh surely saraki is a gooner

Haaa

Hmmmm... Standing committee indeed? Waiting for the wailing committee list.

Nigeria, a country where things are abnormal. A public office holder standing trial on ground of corruption, and yet holding his office firmly while the trial lasts. Lesson : The outcome of the trial already known. God save the defenceless Nigerians.

Why not have a single committee for the armed forces and have sub committees for different branches

Government of committee, probes and tourism. All they care about is enriching their pockets via dubious committees and appointments

When will the common man ever feel/ see this " change ?"
