ReplyDeleteThe anger of GOD is already in the northan Nigeria, their leaders say they will make the nation ungovernable.
ReplyDeleteMay the gentle soul of the decent and innocent people rest in peace.heartless people who killed our NYSC brothers who were posted there to help them out of illiteracy.
I am waiting for that day when GOD will punish all those who are sponsoring the evil in the north.
If they think by doing all this they will cow nigerians to give them presidency come 2015 then they have already failed.
The North has the highest rate of disease infested people, now they are killing people sent to help them. In the nearest future they will be the same people that will complain that their people are neglected to die of diseases. What are foolish, ignorant and heartless people are these people who gave themselves and allow humans like them to be misleading them to destroy their present and future lives.
