ReplyDeleteMoral lesson of this case is the we should not sell out birth right for money. By birth right; I meant integrity, moral and culture of respect as Nigerian for money which Dokpesi did by selling his to PDP for money.

ReplyDeleteRich people make up, poor Nigerians fight and kill themselves over these people.
ReplyDeleteIt is the level of poverty that led the children of the poor to kill themselves for those whose children are enjoying the largess of the nation's wealth. During the PDP primary in Lagos State, you can imagine how many poor youths were either maimed or became disabled while Obanikoro is busy burying fund in his company's account. My God, what an irony?
ReplyDeleteThese children of the poor and illiterates should learn to fight for themselves and not for the big thieves
ReplyDeleteDokpesi has settled with Tinubu to allow him and his children enjoy their stolen money from government.
