Didn't Buhari lift over 5 million Nigerians out of poverty?

Before NCAN descends on this thread and uses the criminal's name as a punchline, let us all remember that this is a tragedy and not a laughing matter.

The extreme poverty in the land caused by the ineptitude of the idiots who have been running the country since 2015 is creating a lot of mentally unstable monsters.

Meanwhile in a particular country, a child ordered for toys of over 100k with the mum's credit card and nothing happened.

Poverty is a champion in Nigeria.

The same correctional treatment should be meted on her shikena
