I for help you o, but than Ramadan shit just turned me off.

Don't know how radical you have gone with that Islamic extremism

What's the difference between what he has done and the relaxation done in Ogun for people to restock and Katsina for Friday prayer?

Except it is proven that the virus will hibernate within those periods, otherwise the entire lock down and relaxation is a joke.

We are joking with convid19 fire

Our governor sir hope security measures are been put in place in case of those people coming bk for the celebration period.... please ohhh something should be done before we blame ourselves...
