Warri no dey carry last, thank God i wsnt amngvd ones dat witness dus incidence cz i ws waiting for my oga to cum home so we can go shopping
ReplyDeleteThis is how investors had been driven out of Warri and by extension, the Niger delta. Niger delta people, especially the youths should learn that if you are not accomodating, no investment and consequently, no job for the teeming youth! A word is anough for the wise! Sooner than later, Lagos will begin to send strangers back!
ReplyDeleteWarri no they carry last but is unfair for those boyz to rob people shopping in the shopping more every for thief's one day for the owner
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 4:55pm what do you mean by that very soon lagos will start sending strangers back? who are the strangers? please lets think deep before we comment if we must comment at all. Their actions are not the best nor is it praised at all but note the part of the article that say that they are jobless youths. The accomodating that are talking about is exactly what you should have told the North-East. I dont know whether you are scared to say it or something else
