This project mirrors what happened to the rehabilitation of our refineries.

I saw this on Sahara reporters yesterday I gave up on this country

But Atiku who was part of those past leaders who stole the money for Mambilla Power Project is who some unpatriotic citizens are pushing for!

Anyway, it's reassuring that we have more sane Nigerians than insane ones to do justice to that weird thought.

Mambilla project sidelining is even better more than the sideling of rehabilitation of our refineries. That has been an avenue for never do better in life leaders in Nigeria

As Ameachi said, we need to kill everyone in Nigeria, especially the political class

Someone should please tell Buhari by mouth and not put it in papers. Leadership in Nigeria has been scam.
