Despite all the antagonism you sometimes face here, I want to believe that in the depth of your heart you are a good person. Might not necessarily see eye-to-eye with you on several of your opinions (the political ones) but when it comes to issues of empathy and humanity I'm often amazed at how I align with your views and positions. Continue being you irrespective of whether I (or the several other haters here) like you or not

The properties mentioned in the charge include three houses, two fenced lands, one of which has seven shops, two bread factories, one open land, two tanker trucks and one big installed generator, all valued at N12 million.
