Naija.....



The government will build roads and bridges and erect high tension poles and will never have people to monitor and observe them to avoid sudden collapsing and to prevent lose of life...


This measures would've been possible of the judiciary system wasn't corrupt and if it wasn't a branch of the pregnancy.... You can't Sue the government Africa.


If the poor could Sue the government and get justice, there are many things that would've been put in place.....


The Nigeria system is a failed system.


RIP to the lost souls.... The government killed them!!
