This is the cause of nigerians letting criminal minded men obsessed with looting and abusing power to rule this nation for so long and yet we call them statesman and worship them. The masses are now turning on each other like aninals and yet we overlook the damage these terrible public office holders are doing to us. Peacefully challenge them and stop worshiping or endorsing them. They serve us and not vice versa. We are really in BIG trouble in Nigeria.
