Yorubas are killing themselves?

You see why it's not good to dance and celebrate planned killings in the SE. Just hoping dat Tinubu's urchins will learn.

RIP to the dead

This is a national disaster

Please can someone define RELIGION again?.....

To me RELIGION is simply what someone has extraordinary believe in and derives great pleasure cum satisfaction in doing.

Simply put this TERRORIST freakishly believe and get satisfied with blood shed. So TERRORISM is their RELIGION .
