Everyone knows that most high profile robberies in Nigeria must involve a force man, either from the Military or Police...

Same people we trust with security go back to harm the people. Shame...

I heard the Government is owing the military men of this nation, The first step to reshaping this country is to make sure every new born babies re trained properly , If you and I train our children well they won’t turn out to be a hooligan making way for corrupt politicians to get on the seat of power, Well it’s very unfortunate to say this , If we can start training our kids properly then Nigeria can be better in the next 60 years.
