Hello EFCC are you there, we Nigerians knew you wouldn't do anything because they appointed you guys there just to chase the innocent Nigeria citizens. The thunder that will strike everyone's tormenting Nigeria is jogging...🏃🏃🏃

Imo State is headquarter of crimes and insecurity. And everybody knows why it is so.

Nig breed criminals that is why they are killing their own people on the order of Fulani,all of them are criminals including the imo state governor,Amara and hope is best of friends,Amara is the first PDP member that joined APC the moment Fulani court announced Hope the winner

Chickens says,The reasons why they looked up while drinking water is because what kill them comes from the sky,Nigerians says the reasons why they are voting for Peter Obi is because voting for Tinubu&Atiku is bringing another Buhari into office,frequent medical treatment travel

No one should be above the law including the speaker. If to say we've a workable institution, even the president supposed not be above the law. To me if you loots you pay for it with your head and heads to prison
