Na wao

Chai Hausafulanis killing yobas with Guns and charms in their land.

it is highly embarrassing and annonying to share the same space and nationality with miscreants with zero value for thier lives or that of others

Afonjas went to revenge and lost two more souls

Charm? Naso

I want to use this forum to plead with his Excellency, the executive governor of Kogi State and all those who have his ears on this platform to prevail on Mustapha Akaaba- the executive chairman of Ajaokuta LGA to pay the salaries of workers he has refused to pay in the last three months particularly those on the clemency list of his Excellency - All. Yahaya Bello.

We know the Governor is not aware of this unruly behavior of Mustapha Akaaba, however, the larger populace of the workers are made to believe that this is the instruction from the Governor.

Ajaokuta LGA workers have suffered for too long that they can't bear the pang of inconvenience this unilateral action of the Chairman is inflicting on them.

Your Excellency Sir, as a Presidential material and candidate, you should not allow any action of any of your appointees or subordinates to give a bad image of you to the masses either at the local, state or national level.

I will be expecting a swift response of the governor and I will be back to confirm to the world as soon as the Chairman does the needful.

The cobbler, named Kores, did not die of any charm. The allege death of the cobbler was due to a perfectly directed right hook. Yoruba can twist day into night.
