ReplyDeleteWith all these happenings, you people now see reason you ALL need to have mass burial b/c this generation is ruined, but the worst is the future generations you people have also ruined their days by looting. How will such generation ever forgive you people, when the past people did not do such to you people. All of you went to free schools, scholarships, good economy with plenty food. Imagine the agony we youths are going through now, and with all these loot, people are already dehumanized, even future generations are not exempted. Why these level of wickedness???
No meaningful productions from the country for local consumption and exportation, but production of looters and also exporting the loots, burying the loots...etc What's all these madness about, yet these looters brags and even threaten to sue government who is meant to give them capital punishment. Very soon, all these shall happen, wiping off people without integrity in government without prejudice. If these set of people can sell Nigeria to foreign oil companies by collaborating to loot the country to stand still, then such Nigerian is not fit to exist.
