Fighting corruption indeed

So, this is the kind of country you people want to run? Continue. A time is coming when there'd be nothing to loot again. Then and then you'll know hard work and honesty pays. Let's see looters will survive. ganduje

This country is now a huge joke. Almost every institution have been messed up...Even the Judiciary that should be hope of the common man. Dismissing Gov Ganduje’s bribery case with all weighty evidence against him is like saying that a woman with 5 Children is a VIRGIN.

Yeparipa! There is no place like my country, Nigeria,

Crooked and mischievous judges in almost all of the courts (Federal & States) in Nigeria. Some folks were jailed for same video evidence....We are not getting there anytime soon....certainly not this generation or next. Sad Sad Sad!!
