Presidency should not start this in 2021

Kikikikikikikiki.. We are watching

I believe this is the joke of 2021. I will pretend to believe.

Bandits and terrorists have killed 10 times the number

And how many Nigerians did their ineptitude and cluelessness allowed these criminals elements to kill? Are these 2403 Nigerians supposed to be killed in the first instance.Nothing new! Coming from a so called deacon that shamelessly said...

"It would be better for those that were oppose to cattle ranching to provide lands than to die in the herdsmen’s attacks.What would the land be used for if those who own it are dead at the end of the day?...."

Kontinue......okay?

Nah eh! No qualms
Alll this audio killing shaa

2,430 criminals
how many criminals
Come dey Africa

when I was bankrupt, I mean my business folded totally. I could not eat or feed my kids.

I had to open up to my kids about what was happening, I explained everything to them.

then I knew how matured my kids were, they adjusted immediately to the new reality, the senior one was even more matured, they brought ideas and suggestions for me to help, reduced their expenses, prayed for me too.

This is what Nigeria is not doing, they are not truthful to themselves, if there was trust between government and citizen, I believe there are Nigerians ready to die for Nigeria, ready to sacrifice and come up with new ideas.

and within 4 months Boko Haram is history. but let them continue

Kudos. But more effort please.

this man and Liar Mohammed, I no even know who Lie pass.
