Shut up!! In your case it does. You talk like a truckpusher, I'm sure you aren't hearing this force he first time

50 Calibre is a heavy duty round/rifle, it strikes fear into the heart of the enemy and obliterates anything it touches. That certainly represents my personality, I'm brutish, cut-throat and highly destructive. I seek to inflict maximum damage on my opponent, if he ain't dead it doesn't count.

All you've done here is truly prove yourself clueless. Ask an average Nigerian who they are voting for in the next election and why? Have a conversation with the Average Nigerian who is 'tribalistic', ignorant and overly-religious. They are cynical, hypocritical and corrupt.

Remove your rose colored glasses, Nigerians are the biggest problem in the country.

Well on this I agree with you.
