ReplyDeleteNgo babe, How did you get here???? your respect is all gone, you have been transformed to a compound liar, talking from both sides of your mouth... you say a thing today... tomorrow you say something contrary... what is going on with you. I believe it took you so many years to build your reputation and you are loosing it in seconds; wow!!!
ReplyDeleteWhich biometric, when and where did it happened? Also where is the saving money? There is God oooo, watching oooo, chaiiiii
ReplyDeleteBy the way Mad'm, this is no savings. That illegal payments were blocked does not constitute savings. And......what about those who were involved in the illegality, are they going to be prosecuted? I doubt it, since our dear president says that there is no corruption in the country, just petty theft. We are finished in this country. I also agree that Okonji-Iweala has lost her reputation and credibility overall.
