This is just 2 distract us from what is truly happening in ds country, to distract us from the looting that has been going on 4 yrs from the so called government.These leaders are thieves,they dont mean well for the citizens.Let me as a question, is it the boko haram that has stopped the government from supplying us with electrcity,good roads? With all the tax that is being collected from multinational companies that run in BILLIONS each month......these leaders are so corrupted that they think we are fools.... its going to be the other way round, you are all going to die and u won't enjoy these money that u are stealing from hard earned working citizens.
