ReplyDeleteYou must think we are all stoopid.
Naija Army, we didn't expect you to go and demand for their surrender. We gave you bullets so you can book hotels for them in Aljena with their 7 virgins each. Now you have brought them in for us to feed them for a long time to come after they have already destroyed our economy. Do you know how much it will cost govt to rehabilitate them?
