PHALGA Boss feared dead

Not yet 2015, they've started war

When will some people become wise?!

Nyesom wike, call ur boiz to order.
The ruler shouldn't have taken law into his own hand even as he was trying to protect himself against PDP thugs.

todayguest: When will some people become wise?!

Why is it never Ameachi fights Jonathan keeps his fisheman hat as a trophy,

or Jonathan slaps Fashola so hard that the haze in his eyes clear and he can now see bad roads in parts of Lagos,

or Akpabio punches Oshiomole, tells him to Go and Die!

Nah, instead we have hungry shortsighted zombies fighting themselves over...

Damn! Feels like the final scene in the movie "I am Legend" when will smith is like "I can help. I can save you. I can save everybody", but ofcourse the zombies didn't understand reason and just kept coming.
