ChumzyOma: Why are all those Africans crowding the space and leaving behind their jobs-which they are not even doing well or know how to do, to attend something that has nothing to do with them. In Leeds they don't rig election or steal ballot boxes...nor do they rendition people from one shythole country like Kenya to another |
