You wouldn't. It's either blindness or microscopic IQ or both.

But I'm sure you will support Obi and the other Governors that left SE, the least habitable shiithole in Nigeria.

Are you surprised as I am that children of hate must always wail at the mention of Tinubu.

I wonder how someone can stomach so much hate like that and be able to sleep.

This is an appointment that clearly proof a round peg inside a round hole with the man vast experience in maritime and moreover not Yoruba yet they still find a way to cry.

I reserve my lovely comment.
