You are already displaying backwardness with your comment.

Why do you people like instigating a fight?

Why can't you change, even if it for the sake of your future children?

Blinded and naive citizens like you are the ones politicians dish out consolation messages so as to keep you in chains and hoping for a miracle to happen.
Tell obaseki to come and suffer 10% suffering the average Nigerian man is going through. They will dish consolation messages and the poor masses will think the government loves them, hello you're stupid if you (Nigerians) believe politicians loves you.
Demented giant of Africa
